As she continued to run, Luz found the trees to be endless. They continued to rush right past her as she raced away from the life she once knew. For Luz, life had never been normal but that was mainly because she was the type to make it strange and exciting. Even if she wanted something fantastical to come into her life, she was starting to regret that wish as it had been granted to her in the most horrifying way possible. The words of her distressed mother were still loud and clear in her memories.

"Monstro!" her mother had yelled.

Luz was aware of a few things that night she had run off and escaped, scared of the very change that had come into her life. Her mother had seen her and believed her to be a monster, Luz didn't blame her. When she managed to get a look at herself, Luz considered herself to be a monster too. The last thing she remembered being her mother calling out to her before she started to make her race into the woods.

"Luz! Luz! Donde estas?! Where are you, mija?!" calling out to Luz in a desperate hope she'd find her, that she'd come home.

Luz wasn't bound to, not when she feared what her mother would say if she found out she had been the monster that she had seen and tried to run away from.

Even as she had returned to her normal form Luz sat down inside an abandoned home left completely empty, needing to find cover to wait out the rain. There she thought about what she would do out on her own and with nowhere to go. At least, not in her world. As the rain continued to pelt the roof and patter on Luz could hear something flying around within the house. Curious to see this bird, Luz followed the sound and found a small owl unlike any she had seen before. The particular owl she was seeing was smaller, a distinctly sharp silhouette, and there was even intelligence to the eyes.

"Hey little guy, are you lost?" Luz asked, trying to reach out.

The owl didn't avoid Luz's touch but he did hop away like he was ready to lead the way and in fact, there was a door Luz was lead through covered in unique symbols with a large eye heavily prominent in the center.

Making it out to the other side, Luz was in a forest again and it was still raining but she looked around shocked and wondering where the house she had taken shelter in was. The door she had gone through was now closed up and nowhere to be seen, so Luz pulled up her hoodie and held it as close to her head as she could to make up for how torn up it was. Her hope lied with the owl who had lead her into the new world.

After a bit more of running through the rain, Luz saw another house. One much older than anything she had seen. Seeming to be made of stone and glass stained windows fitting of an age gone by or of a Fantasy story The owl simply flew in through one of the open windows.

Seeing no other refuge in sight, Luz knocked on the door only to be met with a high pitched screechy voice.

"What's the password?"

The demand seemed to come from the owl style knocker itself, another surprise for Luz who felt a fear response kick in. With a shriek, she reached over to what seemed to be a handy pole preparing to swing it over at the living knocker who seemed to be quite aware of Luz's intention given he widened his eyes and opened up his beak to shriek only for the door to be opened by a pale-skinned woman with a mane of grey hair in a red dress. Her yellow eyes looking at Luz with scrutiny.

"Kid, what are you doing out here? You're lucky it's not boiling rain out today." Eda said.

Taking a closer look, Eda realized it was a human who had made her way to her home and with her talisman making his way back to her staff Eda realized what she had on her hands. Eda took Luz's pole away from her before grabbing Luz herself by the ear.

"Hurry up and come in but don't try to vandalize my house again while you're here," Eda said, speaking over the pained protests of Luz who was dragged onto the bat-shaped couch in the living room.

"Stay right there, I'm going to make you some tea and then we'll talk about what you're doing here," Eda said as she went into the kitchen.

Luz stayed put on the couch just to catch up on everything she had seen in the last few minutes. Teleportation, owls turning into inanimate talismans, a woman unlike any she had ever seen. It was all clearly quite a show of magic, and frankly, she could believe it with what had happened to her just before arriving. Luz hoped she had made it to a new home where her change wouldn't be so odd and where it actually made sense. Perhaps someone could help her in the new world of magic she was in, even cure her. If that was really the case then being led into Eda's home was like a godsend, and maybe she could go back home. If there was a way back for her.

Sighing after breaking out of her thoughts, Luz looked over to see that on the couch was a small canine-like creature with what appeared to be a skull for a head sound asleep. Captivated by the adorable appearance of the creature, Luz softly gasped as she clasped her hands together and looked at King with a shimmer in her eyes. Just as she was reaching out to pet him, Eda seemed to know her intention even from the kitchen. At that moment she called out a warning.

"Don't pet King! You'll get hurt if you go petting a demon."

Really it was King's pride that would be the most hurt after such an ordeal were he to know the stranger Eda had welcomed into their home had been allowed to pet him like a common pet. The most he could do to Luz being a quick bite or scratch as a scared reaction from waking up because of the physical contact. Unaware of this Luz pulled away, moving back to her place on the couch to give the demon his space. So, King went on sleeping peacefully and dreaming of world domination as his steady breaths showed physically.

Luz, however, had nothing to focus on as she preferred to avoid looking at her phone with the notifications showing messages from her mother pleading to know where she was at. Needing to keep her mind distracted, especially with no sign of Eda finishing up brewing the tea, Luz got off the couch and started exploring the house.

Taking a closer look around the living room, Luz became interested over the sight of all the knick-knacks but paying more attention to the walls they seemed to be alive and breathing.

"Oh, cool. The living room is living." she joked to herself and went off to the stairway to see that the rest of the walls actually were still.

"Hmm. Maybe the rest of the rooms are more literal. Like a bedroom made completely out of a bed." Luz said, coming to that realization with excitement as she went off down a hall of the first floor to find a bedroom.

Luz came upon a door marked with a rose emblem and thinking on it for a moment Luz thought out loud to herself.

"Must be a garden," she said, stepping in to see that her assumptions were true in a sense.

The entire room was like a fantastical greenhouse, the flowers were singing, sneezing, jumping, and all manner of fast-moving activity. Beyond that, every plant seemed to be unique to the magical world. Vines that moved like tentacles, bushes of berries that looked like eyes with dilating black pints, and as Luz looked on in wonder at everything in the room she nearly missed the equally living carnivorous plant roaring at her as it tried to reach out to scoop her up for its next meal.

"Aaaaah!" Luz screamed as she tried bolting out of the room just as the plant was about to scoop her up in its vines.

Luckily an entirely separate set of vines reached down and restrained the meat-eating plant before any harm could come upon Luz. Dropping from the upper level was a round-faced girl with glasses and dark blue hair, her green aura, and pointed ears clued Luz in that she was a magic user much like Eda.

"Audrey! That's a bad Venesius Meat Trap. We don't eat guests." she scolded the plant who immediately slumped and whimpered like a puppy. A gentle act that made Willow soften after a stressed-out sigh.

"Awww. I sure hate to be mad at you," she said while stroking the top part of its head.

Luz looked bashful as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your room. I thought it was a garden. I'll, well I should be getting back to the living room." Luz said.

"No, that's alright. My room is pretty much a garden. I'm Willow, are you one of Eda's guests?" Willow said.

"I'm Luz. I guess you could say that, she kind of dragged me into her house out of the rain." Luz said, having assumed the older witch was named Eda.

"Did the boiling rain do that to your clothes? I'd let you borrow some of my clothes, but, they probably wouldn't fit and I'm not the best at weaving. Maybe Eda can fix them up." Willow said, taking a look at Luz's torn up clothes.

"Boiling rain?" Luz asked and briefly considered the kind of weather that would be unique to the world she was in.

"No, it was just regular rain but thank you," Luz said, rather grateful for the offer despite noting the same problem.

Willow took a closer look at Luz, particularly around the ears, and with that, an epiphany came to her which was the result of a few years now spending time around a friend interested by many things human.

"Hey, you're human aren't you?" Willow asked.

"I." Luz started nervously, not sure if that would make a difference or bring up more questions than was worth answering.

"I am," she said, realizing it was best to not avoid the obvious and offer sincerity to Willow.

Willow chuckled a little before saying.

"Eda likes to bring in a lot of human things but this is the first time she brings a human through."

Luz chuckled over that before explaining.

"Well, she didn't bring me in on purpose. Just kinda saved me from a rough time out there." Luz said.

"Yeah, she kind of helps kids like us who are having trouble living normally. The Owl House is pretty much the place for that." Willow said.

Eda walked in after opening the door slightly to see if Luz was there and that everything was alright.

"There you are. Well, come on get the tea while it's hot and can still warm you up." Eda said, holding a teacup and teapot in a tray holding out towards Luz.

Luz went over to Eda, taking the small cup and looking at the grey brew with interest.

"Thank you," she said gratefully to Eda before taking a sip. Savoring it for a moment Luz hummed, enjoying the taste of the tea. Feeling it was a bit herbal but mostly a sweet hot drink.

"So you've gotten yourself acquainted with Willow, one of my." Eda stopped to consider the word like she immediately thought of one before going back on it.

"Wards," Eda said.

"Are there other kids living here in your house?!" Luz said, excited to meet more kids like Willow who she seemed to hit it off with fantastic.

"Yes, there are two more but you'll meet them when time is right," Eda said, putting her index finger and thumb on her chin as she started to think.

"Well, you can meet Gus already but finish your tea first," Eda said upon finishing her thought.

Luz seemed to just take the whole cup of hot tea in one long sip after hearing that. Putting it back on the tea tray leaving Eda wondering if she was wrong about just how much heat humans were supposedly able to tolerate. Or rather if the bouncing cheeriness was a result of such a quick sip of hot drink.

"Yes. I'd like to meet him, please. I'm Luz, by the way. Willow already told me your name, Eda." Luz said, quite a glow to her and a spring in her step that was surprising both Eda and Willow.

"Thanks for catching her up on the boring bits, Willow. Now would you mind taking back the tray?" Eda said, looking quite tired to be holding the tea set. Thus Willow quickly took it from Eda's hold nodding in agreement before going to drop it off in the kitchen.

"Is Gus down the hall?" Luz asked.

"Yes, just three." Eda started only to see Luz rushing off down the hall to find Gus on her own. Leaving her there to consider how much she'd have to keep Luz out of trouble if it was common for her to rush off and explore the new and unknown. Even if she did already like that quality in Luz and how it reminded her of herself in her younger years.

"You've really brought back a spunky one," Eda said to Owlbert despite being in his inanimate form. It was something of a habit, he could always hear her after all.

Going down the hall Luz looked around for a door marked with a unique symbol on it, and from how fast she was going down the hall looking out for anything unusual it didn't take her long to find a door marked with a blue bubble. Walking in with a grin she looked on surprised to find a mostly empty room save for the basic furniture of a bedroom and a shelf of human junk. Taking a step forward, Luz hummed in curiosity seeing that there was slime everywhere in the room. A remarkably thick blue substance with what seemed to be a mucus consistency giving the whole floor a soapy look to it. Just as she was bending down ready to pick it up and take a closer look at it, the slime started moving and concentrating around the center of the room transforming from the puddle of slime spread around the room to a boy.

As he was facing forward getting a good look at Luz, he gasped after getting a good look at her.

"Are you a human?! A real human?!" he said, getting only close enough to keep a sense of personal space.

"Yep. I'm a human. That's me, Luz the human." Luz said with a tone of joy, raising her index finger up and dragging it across with enthusiasm. It was quite a surprise to see someone with so much enthusiasm to see her just because she was herself.

"This is the best day, of my life. Did Eda bring you here?" Gus said.

"No. She did let me into her house. I actually followed this cute little owl, seemed to be a smart one too." Luz said.

"Owlbert led you here?" Gus said, remembering how he had led all three of them to the Owl House when they needed a place to stay after what had happened to them but then. Was it possible for humans to be cursed? Likely one of those many qualities Gus hadn't been privy to until he had met one in person.

"Owlbert? Oh, that's a cute name." Luz said with a coo in her voice.

"Did you already meet everyone else in the house?" Gus asked.

"This house, it's so much bigger on the inside and meeting Willow then you. I also met King, the little precious bone puppy in the living room." Luz said.

"King is actually a demon, really small, energetic demon. You haven't met Amity, have you?" Gus said.

"Amity? No. No one's mentioned her. Is she along this hall too?" Luz said.

"Her room's on the second floor actually, but you should really settle in before you meet her. She's the most recent roommate of us three, and she's really hard to get along with." Gus said.

Just as Gus had been pointing up to indicate Amity's room being upstairs, Luz seemed to be backing out and getting out of the room to rush off and meet such a new friend.

"If Eda comes around, could you let her know I'll catch up with you guys later?" Luz said.

"Sure," Gus said with a bit of hesitation, wondering why she was so willing to go running off and try to get to know Amity.

"Alright, gotta find one of those symbols," Luz said to herself as she made her way up the stairs.

Having followed behind after returning the tea tray to the kitchen, Willow walked in to find Gus reformed into his witch form in his room.

"Hey Gus, how did you like meeting Luz?" Willow asked.

"It was awesome! This is the best day of my life! I'm so glad Owlbert showed her the way here. I have so many questions once she comes back from Amity's room." Gus said.

"She went to go see Amity?" Willow asked rather surprised.

"Yeah I tried to tell her she's not the friendliest person, but Luz was pretty set on going to meet her," Gus said.

Willow frowned and clenched her fist apprehensively thinking about what it would be like for Luz to meet Amity, and that was all before thinking about what it would be like when Luz would find out about Amity's curse. Which once she got into that train of thought she continued on with a realization.

"Gus, what day is it?" Willow said.

"It's. Oh no! We need to go get Eda." Gus said.

Back on the second floor of the Owl House, Luz had come upon a door marked with the symbol of a dragon's tail. Taking a close examination of the symbol Luz could see the tail was slick and green. Remembering back to the way Willow's and Gus' room symbols connected to them, Luz wondered if Amity had some reptile qualities of her own. Willow and Gus themselves went to find Eda who by that point was at the couch finishing the tea she had brewed.

"Um, Eda. There's a problem, Luz just went to go see Amity and, we, just remembered she's stuck in dragon form today." Willow said.

Eda got up from the couch and widened her eyes in concern, reaching over to grab her staff before rushing off up the stairs trying to hold Luz back. Now regretting not staying around as Luz started exploring.

Rushing up the stairs, she clenched her teeth seeing Luz already walking into Amity's room. Trying to shout a warning to Luz only to be smacked by the door from Luz swinging it closed in her enthusiasm.

Luz looked around to find the whole room to be a strange contrast before her was a series of elevated rocks large enough to hold a few people even to lay down on. Hiding a few corners and on the far side of them was a stained glass window and a ledge to sit down on as well as a desk and small shelf of books.

Looking back up, Luz could see on one of the top rocks there was a tail of green scales dangling. Having Amity in sight she started climbing up the rocks, requiring a decent amount of maneuvering on her part but once she got to the top she was met with a rather worrying sight.

On the top stone was a roughly human-sized green-scaled dragon curled in on herself, wings folded in rising and falling steadily as the rest of her body did, her head sharp at the snout but otherwise was smooth.

Luz nervously started to lower herself down only to brush up against the rock making a few pebbles slip off.

Amity stirred and when she snapped out of her stupor she looked up to see Luz, beginning to growl she raised herself up on her feet crouching down ready to pounce on Luz while she was paralyzed with fear.

Luz shrieked as the dragon pinned her down on the rock she had been climbing onto, struggling out of her grip and trying to push her away by resisting against her legs pushing down. Luz looked into the yellow eyes with terror, Amity was as big as her but crouched down in dragon form it was like facing against a winged alligator. It was when the dragon roared and flared her wings up when Luz got the chance to push her claws off and keep moving. Lowering herself onto the next rock, but Amity recovered rather quickly and launched herself in flight against Luz in anger over the intruder in her territory.

Amity's speed caused her impact with Luz to be a rather rough fall behind the rocks. Despite the shock of the fall, Luz continued to resist Amity pinning her down to the ground looking around trying to figure out a way to escape her when she noticed the collection of volcanic ash in the silver holder nearby. Taking another look at Amity, Luz saw that some of her scales at the base near her underbelly were brown as opposed to the rest of her green scales.

Luz braced herself, reaching over and scooping a bit of the ash wincing from the overwhelming burning feeling and letting Amity clench her claws around her arm to press it up against her scales.

Amity relaxed as soon as the warm ash met her more sensitive scales, loosening her grip on Luz and purring as she settled into her napping posture once again. In this position, Luz started rubbing off the rest of the volcanic ash onto Amity on her thicker scales. Clenching her fist to deal with the feeling of the lingering burn left on her.

Yet, even in her pain and having recovered from great terror Luz looked upon the dragon sleeping on her and saw she was at peace and at rest. Knowing that within her was a girl, cursed and she being cursed as well she knew that when the beast overtook one there were little of them still acting willingly. Luz in her ever affectionate heart hugged the dragon and shared in its calmness, already finding Amity to be cute in such a form Luz wondered what the witch truly looked like.

By the time Eda woke up she jolted up in a panic and rushed into Amity's room, seeing no one at first she ran behind the rocks and there saw Luz resting calmly with Amity in her dragon form above her.

"Luz, are you alright?" Eda asked only for Luz to gently shush her.

Understanding the situation, Eda calmed down nodding in compliance with Luz glad to see she had been alright. Backing up she closed the door gently on them and went downstairs to see Gus and Willow making their way up worried after the amount of time that had passed without seeing Eda come back with Luz.

"Is Luz alright?" Willow asked.

"Did Amity eat her?" Gus said, much more frantic and concerned with the more concerning possibility.

"She's alright. Luz seems to know how to handle Amity well enough. Somehow." Eda said, partially amused and confused over how Luz was able to tame the most cursed of her wards.

"We'll settle her in tomorrow morning, but for now she's fine where she is," Eda said.

Eda walked off, set on making sure King wouldn't get into trouble before going to bed for the night.

Willow lowered her gaze, thinking and wondering how it was Luz could get along with Amity. When she was in her most bestial and aggressive form. Was she really not as good of a friend with Amity as she thought, or was she just wrong to hold the grudge for turning away from her once Amity came to the Owl House too?

"Hey, are you Ok?" Gus asked, noticing Willow was distressed and knowing it well from past experience.

"Yeah, I'm Ok." Willow lied.

The next morning Luz woke up to see Amity in her true form, and she was still face to face with her. Sharp featured but with such round eyes that Luz felt was right for Amity. Despite her elegance as the true witch, she was there was still the powerful dragon within her.

Luz was nervous as Amity started to wake up, wondering whether she would remember anything from what happened when she was in dragon form. She certainly hoped so but lost hope as Amity's oh so familiar golden eyes filled with shock and a bit of fear after seeing Luz.

Amity pushed herself off Luz and backed up against the rock, drawing a circle in the air that created a glowing pink ring.

"Who are you?! What are you doing in my room?!" Amity cried out.

Luz raised her hands up trying to show no ill will to Amity especially as she seemed to be preparing some form of magic to retaliate against her.

"It's Ok, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm Luz, I just wanted to meet you and happened to meet you when you were. Well, scaly." Luz said, joking a bit trying to deal with the tension.

Amity put her hand down and dispelled her magic, taking a good look at Luz she had listened to Gus fine enough to know a human when she saw one. The lack of magic made Amity feel less threatened, and Luz seemed sincere. Still, Amity had so many questions and so many concerns once she started piecing together what happened.

"Look, I'm sorry for. Whatever I did in my dragon form, but, I was in my dragon form. Did you just barge in here without me giving you permission?" Amity accused.

Luz found herself hesitating, realizing she had barged in without knocking and without waiting on Gus. Willow or Amity to give her permission to enter.

"I did. I'm sorry." Luz apologized.

Looking down in shame, realizing she was so caught up in having a safe refuge, wanting to make friends and being pulled into a world of magic that her sense of manners seemed to have gone right out the window. Even not taking into account the young witches Luz had gone about snooping through Eda's home.

Amity looked quite angry when her thoughts had been confirmed by Luz.

"What were you thinking? You could have gotten hurt. How did you manage to get through a whole night with me?" Amity said.

"The hot ashes there. I grabbed some and rubbed them against your brown scales, it calmed you down." Luz said.

Amity's anger seemed to calm as she looked at Luz with sympathy and held her hand out.

"Let me see. I might be able to heal the burn." Amity said.

Luz felt a warmness within her, Amity had just been so angry with her and now she was so quick to help her. Holding her arm out she let Amity take her hand and take a close look at her index finger and middle finger. Amity examined the burns and frowned at the black burns and small blisters Luz had sustained.

"Healing magic isn't exactly my specialty, but I should be able to fix this," Amity said, drawing a golden circle over Luz's burnt fingers.

A golden glow enveloped the burn marks on Luz's fingers, making Luz look on mouth open and her eyes filled with wonder expecting to feel something as the healing magic repaired the damage of the burn. All she felt was the lingering pain of the burns disappearing when the magic had done its work.

"Wow!" Luz cried out in excitement while looking at her fingers amazed at how they were good as new.

"Thank you," Luz said gratefully, hugging Amity hoping to really express her thankfulness.

"You're welcome, it's nothing, really," Amity said, overwhelmed by the amount of emotion Luz was showing and uncomfortable with Luz suddenly springing a hug on her.

Looking at Luz's torn up clothes Amity waited for Luz to pull away before getting up and gesturing to Luz to do the same.

"Your clothes, did I do this?" Amity said.

"Oh no, this was from before I got here," Luz said.

Amity realized that if Luz was in the Owl House she had to have been found and led by Owlbert just like the rest of them had been, and had much more sympathy for Luz because of that.

"You look like you're about my size if not a proper match. I'll let you borrow some of my clothes, Eda should be able to help fix yours." Amity said.

Just a few years ago Eda certainly wouldn't have been practiced with any kind of sewing or weaving magic but after a few years of taking care of the trio, she had a good sense for it.

"That would be really cool. Thanks." Luz said and followed Amity to the corner with her bed, desk, shelves, and proper living space to the closet and drawers.

Looking through Amity's wardrobe, Luz saw a few pink leggings, black skirts, and at one point Luz was quite ready to grab a black top with a cloak placed above it until Amity stopped her.

"Oh, no. Not that one. That's a school uniform actually." Amity said.

"School uniform? You have a magic school?" Luz said.

"Yes, Hexside." Amity said.

"Could you show me?" Luz said.

"We'll talk about it later," Amity said.

Eventually, Luz settled on borrowing a lilac sweater and black leggings from Amity.

In the kitchen Gus and Willow were eating while Eda was finishing up her Apple Blood, seeing the two kids rather anxious about Luz being alone with Amity she tried to reassure them.

"Don't worry so much you two. Luz can handle Amity in her dragon form, her true self will be no problem." Eda said.

"Sometimes I would prefer the dragon over Amity herself," Gus mumbled.

Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs the trio looked to see Amity and Luz walking in, and for Willow, the sight of Luz borrowing Amity's clothes was rather disheartening. It was something she could only imagine asking of Amity years ago, but now. She wondered what it was about Luz that made her so capable of dealing with her icy roommate.

"Eda, Luz's clothes need some repairs," Amity said as she handed Eda the torn up clothes.

"I'll have him fixed by the afternoon. Now sit down you two, time to eat your breakfast," she said.

Luz and Amity sat down to just that. Eda wasn't much of a talker in the mornings but among the kids, the situation was just tense. Amity being her standoffish self when it came to Gus and Willow but they had so many questions for Luz about what happened with Amity last night they knew better than to ask while she herself was there. Even Luz felt how awkward the moment was and found herself suffocated by it.

Once everyone finished up their breakfast Eda called out to Luz.

"Luz, sit down for a moment. I need to talk to you about something."

Luz sat down nervous over what Eda had to say to her.

"If this is about what happened with Amity, or just going around the house, in general, I'm really sorry." she apologized.

"No, that's got nothing to do with this. Trust me, you're not in trouble kid." Eda reassured her. Looking to make sure Luz relaxed before continuing.

"I know this is all new to you so I'll tell you right now, the power Willow, Gus, and Amity have to transform. That's not normal for witches. We're all unique in the sense we're cursed with our forms. The kids can willingly transform most of the time, but some days it happens against their will and they lose control and their reason. Owlbert scouts the human world for whatever treasures he can find, but he also looks out for anyone who is cursed like us and brings them here. Where they'll be safe and find solidarity with people who share their curse. He led you here just like he led your friends here when they discovered they were cursed and needed to leave their homes. You're the first human to be cursed like this. Luz, I need to know what your curse is so I can help you." she said.

Luz frowned, holding her left arm as she came to grips with the reality at hand. The nature of hers she wanted to keep a secret she had to be honest about if she wanted any kind of help.

"Lycanthropy," she said.

"Werewolf, huh? Ok. I'll put you in one of the rooms without any windows and I'll find some extra clothes for you." Eda said.

Luz smiled, looking gratefully at Eda knowing she would put in the preventive measures she needed to not hurt others with her curse.

"The others won't pry into what your curse is, they can probably make a good guess when they see the symbol that's going to go on your door but they're not going to ask you about the details. I won't make you tell them either, but try to trust them as soon as you can. They can't help you if they don't know." Eda said.

Luz nodded in agreement, putting Eda at ease as she went to go get Luz's room ready.

Luz that morning was now at peace, she had found the calm in the storm. A safe home for her where her curse wouldn't catch up to her. A good group of friends and a caretaker who seemed experienced in what she was doing, the fact she was in a land of magic gave her hope that she could be cured. She sincerely hoped that in time her friends could be cured too.
