You're A Villainous Thing

Luz startles awake to the sound of Hooty yelling, abruptly sucking her out of the half-asleep state she had been in. She grabs her glyphs on instinct, one of the several stacks of paper she leaves around her room for easy access.

When she finds Hooty, he has the door wide open and the body of a teenage boy slumped against the doorframe. A boy who is swathed in red from blood and grasping onto his staff like it's the only thing keeping him from face planting.

And as Luz walks closer, the light of the moon catches on platinum blonde hair and she suddenly realizes that it's The Golden Guard in the doorway.

Or; Hunter, his Palisman, and the wild witches who took him in.
