( Four years ago )

Eda had put a force field around her house, to protect it from the boiling rain. Eda then heard small footsteps behind her, and when she turned around to find a little witch girl that looked to be ten years old in the boiling rain wearing clothes made out of fur.

Eda: What is a kid doing in the rain!

Eda quickly made a force field above herself, she ran to the little girl, picked her up, and brought her inside. Once Eda got the girl inside, she placed her on the couch and closed the door. Eda was about to say something to the little girl until the little girl yawned, her mouth opened as she yawned like a cat, revealing her forked tongue. Eda looked at the girl in pure shock, which caused the little girl to go under the couch to hide.

Eda: Hey, wait a second there, kid.

Eda reached her hand under the couch and pulled out a small orange dragonet with yellow under plates, a red soft mane that stops at the end of her back, a red fur tuff on the end of her tail, a few tiny red tuffs of fur on her body, and two small pearly white horns on her head by the scruff of her mane, causing the small dragonet to freeze like a kitten.

Eda: A Dragon Soul... I thought they were extinct. Where did you come from?

Eda gently placed the dragonet on the ground. The dragonet didn't say anything, but she did something that Eda didn't expect.....

Small Dragonet: ( Singing, softly: ) Won't you play a simple melody? Like my mother sang to me... One with good 'ol fashioned- harmony. Play a simple melody...

Eda looked at the small dragonet with a confused expression. King peaked out from the kitchen as the song had gotten his attention. The dragonet then started singing again after a few small beats made by the wind on the window.

Small Dragonet: ( Singing, in a more upbeat tone: ) Musical demon, set your honey a-dreamin', won't you play me some rag? Just change that classical nag, to some sweet beautiful drag. If you will play from a copy, of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause. And that is simply because... I wanna listen to rag.

King: Again! Again!

The small dragonet looked at King with her head tilted to the side.

Eda: King, I don't think she-

The small dragonet then drew a spell circle in the air and made a illusion of herself, she then started making a soft but upbeat beats with her tail by gently hitting it on the floor, then the two started singing the two verses together, layering them.

( A/n: Small Dragonet singing the first verse The illusion Dragonet singing the second verse )

Small Dragonet & Illusion Dragonet: ( Singing together in harmony: ) Won't you play a simple melody?/Musical demon, set your honey a-dreamin', won't you play me some rag? Like my mother sang to me.../Just change that classical nag, to some sweet beautiful drag. One with good 'ol fashioned-harmony/If you will play from a copy, of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause. And that is simply because... Play a simple melody.../I wanna listen to rag.

The illusion then disappeared and the dragonet lowered her head with a nervous expression. King clapped his hands while Eda looked at the dragonet with a smile.

Eda: You got some skill, kid. Do you have anywhere to go?

The small dragonet shakes her head " no ".

Eda: Well, kid, you are welcome to stay with us. It's not safe for a young dragon soul to be by herself. My name's Eda and this is-

King: I am the King of Demons! And you, Musical Dragon, shall be my new subject!

The small dragonet turned back into a little girl, and she looked at him with her head cutely tilted to the side.

Eda: What's your name, kid.

Mery: M-Mery, Mery Scales.

Eda: Welcome to The Owl House, Mery. You're going to love it here.

King: Yay! ( Whispers to Eda: ) She can sing to us and make us snacks.

Eda: ( rolls her eyes, looks at Mery ) Let's get you into something more... Comfortable.

( A few minutes later )

Mery was now in a cute puppy onesie and was eating a sandwich and was sharing it with King.

Eda: So, Mery, where did you come from?

Mery just shrugs her shoulders in response.

Eda: You... You don't know where you came from?

Mery: Nope. All I know is the woods and that I'm different.

Eda: What about your parents?

Mery: ( tilts her head ) Parents?

Eda: Yeah, you know, your Mom and Dad?

Mery: What's a " Mom and Dad"?

Eda looked at Mery with slight shock that Mery didn't know what Mom and Dads were, then Eda looked at her with sadness in her eyes.

Eda: Nevermind that, kid.

King: ( to Mery: ) Musical Dragon, the King of Demons demands that you sing that song again.

Mery: ( chuckles ) Okay.

Mery then began singing the song again with a smile. Eda listened with a sad smile, silently wondering how did Mery not know what " parents " mean or were.
