Two Worlds, One Family: Prologue
Art by Crash X Fusion: Aww, look. It's a Kodak moment that's ultimately going to be undermined by all of Lilith's stupid decisions.
Following her mission gone wrong, Lilith takes some time off to clear her mind and is roped into a different task.
Tropes that appear in this Chapter:
- Brick Joke: The prologue of the previous book was a Flashback Episode focusing on a Clawthorne caring for a newborn before switching to the present. That's how things go here.
- The Cameo: Amity appears as a baby in the past while Hooty has a brief appearance and one line in the present.
- A Day in the Limelight: Lilith is the first focus character for the new season.
- Deus Exit Machina: For the first time in the series Luz is completely absent, not even being mentioned. King is also absent while Eda is only mentioned.
- Flashback Episode: The chapter mostly takes place following the aftermath of Lilith killing Camila. It also shows how Odalia started her plan for convincing Lilith to be Amity's godmother.
- Immediate Sequel: In the present day, this chapter takes place the morning after "The Rescue".
- Minimalist Cast: For the whole chapter, Lilith, Belos, the Blights and Hooty are the only characters to appear. Only counting the present day, it's just the former and the latter.
- Out of Focus: Amity only appears as a baby in the flashbacks and she's only mentioned in the present. The rest of the main cast has no mentions.
- Sequel Episode: The prologue's flashback story follows up on the previous prologue's, showing what happened after Lilith killed Camila.
- Tempting Fate: Lilith hopes things won't be too bad living in the Owl House. Then Hooty says good morning to her, causing her to scream.
- The Voice: Downplayed. Not counting their illusions, Edric and Emira are only heard, not seen.
