Chapter 1
Getting used to the Normal
“To be honest when I first came to the Human Realm I was planning on replacing Luz. But after 10 years of fighting with Luz and the rest of the Hexsquad I found my place in the world. Especially after purposing to my beloved Masha. If I went back in time to the point on where I would be going through the portal. I would do it all over again and I wouldn’t regret it.”
Excerpt from a Basilisk’s Journey written by Vee Noceda.
Sunday June 8 2023
Gravesfield, Connecticut
Noceda Residence
Luz wakes up and get down from her bunk. Still half asleep goes to the bathroom. Despite not being there for a decade she still remembers where her toothbrush and toothpaste. After brushing her teeth and washing her face she wakes up. Eyes wide she stares at the mirror she speaks.
"Mierda, estoy de vuelta en casa." Luz said in Spanish.
Luz yawns realizing that she needs coffee.
She takes a shower and after finishing she gets dressed and heads downstairs. Luz takes a look around her old home. She did noticed that some of the things are brand new. Luz finds her Mama and Vee making breakfast while Masha drinks some coffee.
"Good morning Mija cómo has dormido?" Camila asked.
"Bien Mama hay Café?" Luz asked.
"Yes we do Hermana." Vee said as she gives Luz a cup of Coffee.
She also gives Masha a kiss on their cheek. Luz and Camila giggled at the sight of it.
"Thanks Vee, I needed it." Luz said as she drinks her coffee.
"As always Sweetie Vee the cooking and coffee you make is phenomenal." Masha said as she drinks her coffee.
Vee smiles at her fiancé as she places a plate of arepas for her.
Luz smiles as a thought came to her.
"By the way Mama I noticed that you have some new stuff. How did you pay for it?" Luz asked.
"You know your old principal right?" Camila asked.
Luz nods as it dawned at her.
"You didn't." Luz said.
"I sure did Mi lucecita y gané la demanda. Turns out he was getting kickbacks for every student he sends. When the camp was investigated it was found out it gives conversion therapy sessions." Camila said as she was getting angry.
The others were getting pissed as well.
"So what happened to him?" Luz said restraining her magic.
"In prison for 15 years and this is for you and Masha." Camila said as she gives both Luz and Masha an envelope.
Said envelopes contains several tens of thousands of dollars.
Camila then frowns.
"Masha I'm sorry to say but your parents are most likely to disown you." Camila said with frown.
Masha sighs.
"It's alright Mama Noceda I was planning on taking Vee's Surname anyway." Masha said with a shrug.
Camila couldn't help but coo at this.
"Thank you Mom I was going to pawn off some of my coins." Luz said as she shows her coins which were Sliver, Gold and Platinum.
"Oh god Mija. Well is there anything you want to do?" Camila asked.
"Well besides pawning off 15 coins I think we can look around town and go to a hospital to get Vee vaccinated… oh lord where is Jacob?" Luz asked as she facepalms.
In an insane asylum for the rest of his days. Camila said with a smile.
"Oh good the last thing we need is for that nutcase to bother Vee." Luz said.
"Indeed Mija indeed. Let's after breakfast alright." Camila said.
Soon the family of four quietly ate breakfast and left for Gravesfield.
Sometime later
The four of them (with Vee in her human form) are walking around the downtown area of Gravesfield where they paid a visit to the Gravesfield pawn shop.
They see the shop's owner who takes a look at Luz.
"6 coins per person." The owner said.
Luz mumbles a bit as she takes out six coins. Two Platinum, two Gold and two Sliver.
"Alright then. Elf boy it's your turn." The Owner said as an elf comes and casts a spell.
"Their real sir." The Elf said.
"Good work kid. Now then for the silver coins I can give you $17.70 for both. The gold coins for $1,752.60 and the Platinum Coins for $897.90." The owner said.
"Deal." Luz said.
Luz gave some coins to Camila. As they all get money.
After that they go to the hospital. Where they will get Vee's shots. They did but when they get the bill.
"WHAT THE FUCK YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS?!" Vee shouted as she sees the bill.
"Well yes does the Boiling Isles gives free Healthcare?" Camila asked.
Vee looks at as if she was asked what the answer for 2+2 is. Luz answered her question.
"Ah yeah it's a universal right of Witches and Demons. All medical centers and clinics are government workers meaning they get paid via taxes." Luz said.
Camila blinked and the nurse's jaw dropped at this.
"Oh I see." Camila said in disbelief.
"El maldito sistema de salud está roto más allá de la mierda absoluta." Vee said as she reluctantly pays.
"Say how about we get some cookies. To make you feel better." Masha said.
Vee smiles as she holds Masha's Hand.
They blushed.
"Thanks baby." Vee said as she kisses her fiancé's cheek.
However they run into someone Luz didn't like. Clara the cheerleader.
Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
"Oh look who I run into it's the Luzer." Clara said.
"Hello Clara. I hope you're doing well." Luz said.
"Whatever I still can't believe you're married and I don't unless you show me a photo." Clara said.
Luz didn't say anything when she puts her hand on air and pulls out her smartphone where she shows Clara a photo a younger Luz and a younger Amity Blight. The ceremony was simple with a green haired woman next to Amity, a good looking blond guy, the other two girls standing by the green hair and some young black guy.
"I see that look Clara. Hunter which is the blond guy is already married to Willow which is the green haired girl. Also he's 26." Luz said.
Clara looked annoyed.
"Whatever I hope your life goes to shit Noceda-Blight." Clara said as she leaves.
Camila was getting angry but Luz puts her hand on her Mother's shoulder.
"No mom she's not worth it besides she's just jealous of my hot wife." Luz calmly said with a smile.
Camila took a deep breath.
"You're right Mija now let's get those cookies." Camila said with a smile.
As soon they leave. We find Clara hiding behind a wall.
"God damn it that fucking Latina slut didn't take the bait." Clara said.
She grumbled as she thinks back at what Luz did. The Luzer freak actually used Magic. FUCKING MAGIC! She couldn't believe it. She knew that the Luzer's mom took the bait but she didn't. She'll have to come up with something else.
"I'll make you know your place Noceda." Clara said.
This would not come to pass however as later in her life she would be too busy with college and life to ruin Luz. Later in life she would realize that it wasn't worth it in the end.
But that's a story for another time.
Robin Roast Café
The four of them arrived at the Robin Roast Café. The café appears to be a one-story shop. It has a storefront glass and an awning above it. Right outside the entrance are two tables and a few chairs for customer usage. It also has some plants in front and some papers on the windows.
Vee noticed a poster with a picture of a tall, slender woman in her mid-to-late 40s, with ivory skin, pointed ears, maroon lips, and golden eyes she is wearing a sleeveless, two-tone maroon dress with a ripped hem design and gray leggings. Her jewelry consisted of two orange spherical earrings and a gold spherical ring. For footwear, she wore maroon high-heeled boots. Her untamed hair is thick, short, and layered with tones of gray. She has a removable gold fang, orange claw-like nails, and an oval amber gem on her sternum.
"Huh is that the Owl Lady?" Vee asked herself as a rat walks up to her.
"Ģ̶͎̹̖̈́̊̓̔̈́̐̾͗̉̏̂́͠͠i̸̤̮̓v̴̢̛͇̺͕̭̦̺͍̲͍̪̤͚̮̈́̽̍͆̉̋̔̀͛̀͝͝͝ḝ̵͙̞̪͎̬̺̯̇͆͂͆̕ ̷̝͉̳͉̜̂̐̍̑̾̒́̄̉̊̏͛́͝m̶̬͙̗̻̥̠̦̦̾͐̿͆̑͗̕ë̷͎̬̟̭̭͗̏͌̕͠͝ ̷̢̨͇͈̹̯̜̱̠́͛͂̋̽̾̓͂̈͝ỳ̶̮̦͎̮͇̞̽̾͋́͒̌̿̂ơ̴͇̇͋͂̉̀̆͛̕ų̶͍̣̙̪̄̍̓̇̒̑͌̋̈́̄̿̄̑̕͠ͅr̷̠͓͎̭̳̦̞̹͖̥̱͐̈́͐̽̎̓̓̐̃͐͆̚̕͠ ̶̻͔͓͔̝͍͓̲̟̉͐̾̊̀̍̉̅̽͑̆̇̕͜s̸̛͔̲̻̼̖͖̖͕̰̱̯̖̓̃̈́o̵̡̼̦̘̤̰̙̱̙̱̦͓̟̦͆̾̋̎̈́̀͛̄̑̀̍̈́͘͝ǔ̵͙̦̫͖͔̗͔̈̍̎̈́́̈́̏̓̈́́͊̇͠l̷̩̍̇͑͛̉̑̔̚ ̶̨̡̢͓̘̤̮̻̬̘͇̲͖͇̉͌̚a̶̧̝̜͓͕̲̜͊̇́b̵̢̨͎̙̦̤͖̬̖͉͇͠o̶̻̝̤̯̾m̴̢̛̻̜͍̤̤̏̈́́̎̈́̿̉͘̕̕͝i̴̡̙͚̜̍̑̍͛̀͒͠n̵̡͓̟͉̮͈͇̪͖͇̱̜͉͆̔ȧ̷̪̤̜͉̃̿͒̀̊̈́̽̉͘͘͝͝b̵̢͖̼͇̙̪̩͔͕̪̘̠̈́͗̑̈́͆͊̐̋͝l̶̹͉̋͋͒̐͂̅̀̽̑́̈̔̓̎ͅȩ̵̖̯̪̔̄́̿̀̇̾͊̆͒̔͝ ̶̨̧̛̼̝̖̫̠̹̮̤̹̹̑͑̓̀͜ͅB̷̤̼͊̈ȧ̶̛̺͈̜̂̎͐͋͆͂̄̀̀͘s̸̡͓̦͎͔̱̻̋̑̀͛̔̉̈́̈͆̓̔̑͆̂ͅį̵̝̹̝̳̗̳̐̎̓́̇̒̃̾̾͝͝l̸̛͈̣̙̩̃̉͑͛̔̓͂͛̈́̎́̕͝i̸̻̗̖͙͈͈̅͆̀̊̕͜͝͠s̶̡̨̨͇̤̦̼̭̱̻͆̃͑̄̑̎̊̅͗̈̉̄͜͜͜͝͝k̶̢͍̹̜͇͔̍ͅ!" The Rat said as Vee gives the rat a flat stare.
She turns into her Basilisk form and swats the rat away with her tail.
Stupid rat. Vee said as she turns into her human form.
They walk into the Café upon entering shop there is a bookshelf filled with books to the left of the store. The counter is located right in front of the entrance, and there is a bakery shelf beside the counter displaying food for sale.
"Welcome to Robin Roast Café may I take your order?" The cashier said.
The Quartet give out their orders and after a bit they get them.
They quietly eating their cookies and drinking tea and coffee.
Several people noticed Luz and began talking.
"Is that Luz Noceda?"
"I think it is look at her she's quite older."
"Of course she's older she spent 10 years in that hell."
"I heard that she's married."
"That's child's play I heard that other worlds were affected by that blasted tower and Noceda's wife was married from an outworlder."
Luz overheard everything and wondered if there was any negative comments and sure enough there was.
"She probably blew her way during that decade."
"I wondered how much she costs."
"We should try to get her out of town."
"She's just a spawn of the devil with her magic."
Luz just shakes her head and ignores them.
They enjoy their food and drinks. They soon leave after paying and giving a big tip.
Gravesfield Real Estate
The quartet decide to purchase the Cabin near the Noceda home before going back home. The real estate agent looked at them with a bored look but when she hears that they wanted the old cabin in the woods so she sells it at a low price. Luz just pays the agent at full price. After doing the paperwork they now own the Cabin. Which is also where Luz believes where the portal to the Boiling Isles resides.
Back at the Noceda residence
The group returns to the Noceda home where two black cars were in front.
"Huh looks like the government wants to talk to me." Luz said as the agents noticed her.
"Miss Noceda we would like to speak with you." An agent asked.
"Ok how about we go inside." Luz asked.
As they went inside the Agents asked them questions about the Towers and the like but more importantly who the Strongest People that left the towers were.
"Ok this one I can answer out of all the people who were in those towers there are 6 parties that are considered the Strongest. The order I'm going to saying doesn't reflect their strength. I'll start us off with My Party The Hexsquad. Consisting of myself, My wife Amity, Willow and Hunter Park, Gus Porter, Masha and my sister Vee." Luz said.
"Hey there." Masha said.
"Hi there." Vee said.
The agents nod and gestured Luz to continue.
"Right then the next party comes from Germany they call themselves Der Orden der Heiligen Orchideen or The Order of the Sacred Orchids. A group consisting of only of women of both Earth and the Tower with "Holy Classes" like Knights, Paladins, Clerics and the like. Their led by Großmutter Johanna." Luz said.
"Are they religious extremists?" An agent asked.
"Thankfully not. Which leads to the next party. The Имперские возрожденцы or The Imperial Revivalists. They consists of a mixed of people of Earth and those of the Black Tower. Which they had told me point blank that they plan on reviving the Russian Empire with their Party leader Ivan Stepanov as the head of state." Luz said.
"Should we be worried?" An agent asked.
"Not likely as one of their plans is end the war with Ukraine and execute Putin." Luz said.
This shocked not only the agents but Camila as well.
"Ok we move on to the Jogug-ui Tong-Iljadeul or The Unifiers of the Homeland. Party made up of Koreans from both the north and the south. Their leader Yun DaeSeong can unify the Korean peninsula." Luz said.
"That would be useful. Does he plan on ruling Korea?" Another Agent asked.
"No they don't this goes for the next Party is simply known as los libertadores or The Liberators led by Daniel Vivas. This party consists of one person from earth and his brides from the other side." Luz said as they breathed a sigh of relief.
"So… this guy basically does the most Isekai tropes." An Agent said.
"Yup he wants to liberate Venezuela, make a proper election and live in peace with his wives." Luz said.
"Ok then not the worse but not the best." An Agent said.
"Finally the last strongest party is known as Muntaqimu Allah or Allah's Avengers. They consist of three Arabs of Earth and their converts from the Tower. They want to unite the Arab world and destroy ISIS." Luz said.
"Sounds good to me." Another Agent said.
After giving the brief overview of the 6 strongest parties. They spoke about some other things finally they leave stating that they have what they needed and left.
Soon Camila decides to order a Pizza and relax with Netflix and the like. She worries about her daughters but Luz told her that next week they would visit Amity.
At that moment she couldn't wait to meet her daughter's wife and her grandchildren.
She hopes the good time will never end.
Meanwhile in another part of the world
Fires have spread throughout the city where a group had singlehandedly destroyed the main ISIS headquarters.
"It is done." A young man said.
"Why did you betray us? Betray Allah?" An ISIS solder said.
"No you are the ones who have betrayed Allah." The young man said as he kills the solder.
"Abrahim are you well?" A wolfman asked.
"Yes Omar I'm well. We must continue our duty." The now named Abrahim said.
Omar nods.
Abrahim know he has much to do and he would succeed.
"For Allah, For Unity and For Peace." Abrahim said.
