Adrien and King were led by Leanbow into Rootcore. Once, they were in, both the demon and the boy hawked over everything they saw. (A/N: I can't provide a valid description of the inside, but if you can, please be my guest.) Adrien walks over to the colorful and sees the wall with brooms on them. He reached onto touch one, but-

"Don't touch those" Leanbow demanded.

Adrien flinched a bit at the man's voice, but complied and pulled away from the wall. He walked over and saw King trying to climb up into the center wood table. Adrien placed him on the table and walked over to Leanbow. "What is this place?"

Leanbow looked at Adrien."It's my home, a place totally hidden from the emperor and all his goons."

King adopted a confused face. "Wait, so you made this place?"

"Oh, no, this place was here long before I was even born."

Adrien scratched his head a bit, "Wait if you didn't make this place, than how did you find it?"

"Because-"Leanbow smiles a bit and walks to a wall, which was covered by a gold sheet. He grabs the sheet, "He was always destined to find it," Adrien pulled the sheet and it showed a portrait of a man in the Solaris Knight form.  At the bottom of the picture it said "A true Knight, Daggeron."

Adrien slowly walked toward the painting in awe over someone else wearing the Solaris Knight armor. "Who is that?"

"Your father........................Daggeron, the previous Solaris Knight,"

Adrien eyes widened in shock and he only had one thing to say, "What the Fu-"

(As the portal gate opens and the camera zooms in on it, Adrien and Luz are seen to be in the sky. They open their eyes, only to realize they were falling which caused them to freak out before something zoomed past them and caught them. Adrien and Luz opened their eyes, with Luz behind Adrien and holding his arm while Adrien held onto the staff to stay on. The two kids saw they were saved by Eda, who smirked at the duo as they flew to her house on her Palisman staff.)

(The door where Hooty was opened up as Luz and Adrien step outside, with Luz twirling and posing with Eda's staff while Adrien draws his Rita sword he got recently and does his own pose. But then Eda took her staff back with an amused grin while Luz gave a sheepish smile and Adrien looked somewhat amused too. King popped up in front of them in a pose.)

(A Boiling Isle mural was seen as Gus, Willow, and Amity are seen briefly before it burns away to show King commanding an army of stuffed toys, which all fall on him. The scene burned away again, showing Adrien standing under a spotlight with determination on his face. Soon, a silhouette of a man in the Solaris Knight appears behind him before it fades out.)

(Now Adrien and Luz were on Eda's staff with Luz riding up front like she was driving and Adrien standing behind like he was surfing on a surfboard. They zoom down the Boiling Isles, past many friends and foes alike until Eda and King join in on the ride... then they hang on for dear life as a massive monstrous worm-like monster, mouth wide open, lunges at them. Everyone, minus Adrien, screamed in horror, as the latter had a look of bravery and defiance towards the monster as he pointed his sword towards it.)

(Then the scene changes back to the Owl House where it's nighttime and stars twinkle in the sky as the four are on the roof and looking up into the sky. Luz opens her hands to reveal a ball of light as Adrien pulls out his solar cell morphor and ticket.)

(He grinned and punched the ticket, causing light magic to burst from his hands. That's when the title appeared.)

Adrien was now pacing around the room in both anger and shock. Shock, because he's been revealed to be the son of the previous Solaris Knight and anger, because he knew about Daggeron being Eda's friend and she didn't tell him, who is father was. "I can't believe this, all this time she knew who, my father was and she- " Adrien growls in frustration.

"Kid, calm down." Leanbow says, trying to calm him down.

Adrien looked at him with a gasped expression. "How can I calm down over this?! Wait?!" Adrien turns angrily towards King, who immediately gets frightened. "How  could you-" Leanbow immediately punches Adrien in the head, which makes the boy fall to the ground and hold his head in pain. "Ahh, what the heck was that fo-" Adrien immediately stopped talking as he looked at Leanbow and saw that he had intimidating red aura.

Leanbow Aura:

"I told you to calm down"

Adrien gulped at the knight's stern voice. Leanbow soon turned down the aura and sighed, as he held a hand to the kid. "Look Adrien, the reason Eda didn't tell you about Daggeron, was because it was for your own safety." Leanbow pulls Adrien to his feet. "To protect you."

Adrien rubbed his head one more time and asked. "From who?"

"Belos." King answered.

"Who?"

Leanbow added, "He's the leader of the Emperor's Coven and the so-called "Lord" of the Boiling Isles." 

Adrien looked at King, who was still a bit scared, he walked to him and pet him, which made him calm down. "Why does he care about me?"

Leanbow looked at the kid with a somber expression. "Because you've been chosen."

Adrien looked up with a curious and surprised expression "To do what."

"Defeat him."

Adrien's eyes went wide as he heard this, but then he got confused. What happened to his father? "Wait, what happened to my father?"

 Leanbow and King, both looked down sadly and didn't answer. This made Adrien even more concerned as asked once again, "Guys, what happened to him?" Both still couldn't bring themselves to  answer the boy's question. Adrien then looked once more at the painting than remembered that chase in the forest in his vision. "D-di-Belos-?" Adrien couldn't bring himself to say it, but the way both Leanbow and King had sad expressions gave Adrien his answer. Adrien was so shocked that he nearly fell over, but his shock quickly turned to anger. "He-heeaa! I'LL MAKE HIM PAY!!" Adrien bolts out of the exit, while pulling Rita out.

King tried to stop him, "Adrien, wait!" He is picked up by Leanbow and they head for the exit as well.

 Adrien was running in the forest with anger and fury in his eyes. The emperor killed his father!! He wasn't going to let this stand. But, soon he was stopped as Leanbow standing in front of him, with King on his shoulder. The boy skidded to a stop. "Outta the way, Leanbow!! I'm going after Belos!"

Leanbow gently places King on the ground and walks toward Adrien. "Sorry kid, I can't let you do that. I'm not gonna let you throw your life away just to get vengeance."

"If you don't move, I will make you," Adrien pulls out Solar Cell morpher.

Leanbow looks down at King, "Go hide, I'll handle this." King nods and hides behind a tree.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" Adrien transforms into the Solaris Knight and pulls out Rita. "Move aside!"

"............No." Leanbow pulls out a morpher of his own.

"Huh?" Adrien asked.

"Woah!" King says in amazement.

Leanbow walked forward, but did something unusual, he stabbed both his sword and shield into the ground.

"Aren't you gonna need those?" Adrien asked.

"With the way you are, to beat you, I'll I need-"Leanbow held up one finger. "-Is my one finger."

Adrien grolws at Leanbow, as the latter generates red energy that goes directly to his finger.

Adrien looks in shock over this, when he lands he steps back in a bit of fear. 

"My turn." Leanbow says as steps forward.

Adrien crashed through  three before being stopped by one. He falls to the ground in pain and King runs and checks on him.

"Adrien, are you okay?" Turns to Leanbow, angrily. "What did you do that for?!"

Leanbow walked toward the unconscious boy and little demon. "To make sure he didn't doing anything stupid."

Adrien looks up while struggling to stay conscious. "How are you so strong? How many pushups did you do?! How many situps?! WHAT KIND OF JUICE DID YOU DRINK?! "

Leanbow crouched down in front of the boy. "My magic and strength, come from knowing-"

Adrien gets on his hands and kneew. "Knowing what?"

Leanbow offers a hand to Adrien. "My destiny."

Adrien takes Leanbow's hand and gets picked up. But I can't..." Adrien was cut off when his phone started ringing. Pulling it out, he saw it was Luz. He quickly answered. "Luz! Hey!"

"Adrien, where are you? I just came home and you're not going to believe the kind of adventure I had! By the way, where is King?"

"He's with me. We're..." Adrien paused and looked at Leanbow. "On our own little adventure."

"You're having an adventure? Without me?"

"No, Luz! Don't take it the wrong way," Adrien said after hearing how hurt she sounded. "It just...kind of happened."

"It's okay. I get it. Will you two be coming home tonight?"

Adrien looked at the sky. The sun was almost down and the moon was starting to rise into the sky. "I...don't know, Luz. We'll be home as soon as we can."

"...Okay. Bye Adrien."

The call ended, and Adrien groaned in dismay. Why was he an idiot? He then looked at Leanbow, who stared down at him. "I...I can't-. I'm just not strong enough.

Leanbow looks at the boy with a sympathetic smile."You finally admitted it. And now we can begin."

"Begin what?"

Leanbow places his hand on Adrien's head. "Your training."

Adrien smiles at this. It soon became night time, meanwhile, Luz couldn't sleep. Ever since her phone call with Adrien, she's been worried about him and King. When she came back from her adventure, Eda was not happy with her getting Owlbert hurt, but the little owl was able to convince the witch to not hurt her. Eda then started to worry about Adrien and King, but Luz told her that they were on their own adventure. Eda agreed to wait, but promised to go out and look for them if they didn't come back tomorrow.

In her pajamas, Luz waited for the two to come home, if they'd come home at all tonight. She glanced at Adrien's bed, wishing that he'd be there. His presence was missed by her all day, and it only got worse when he wasn't home. Luz sighed, hoping he was okay.

"Hoot, hoot! They're home!" Hoot called from the first floor.

Luz gasped and jumped to her feet. Running down the stairs, she saw Adrien and King walking in through the door and closing it.

"Adrien!" Luz exclaimed happily and ran towards him. Jumping into him as she wrapped her arms around him. Adrien was shocked by this and hugged her back as they twirled around. After stopping and setting her down, Adrien smiled and teared up as he hugged her back tightly.

"Hey! What about me!?" King yelled, holding up his arms.

Letting go of Adrien, Luz picked up King and hugged him too. "I missed you too, King," she said before turning back to Adrien, noticing that he had some ash and burns on his hoodie. "I was so worried about you! What happened to you? Did you get into a battle."

"Luz..." Adrien began but was interrupted when Eda came down the stairs in her casual night wear.

"There you are! Do you have any idea how worried you two made me!" Eda yelled angrily at Adrien and King. Marching up to them like a disappointed mom. "I mean, me and Luz! You better have a good explanation, or so help me you're grounded!"

Adrien explained everything.

"Wow, that's one good explanation," Eda said with wide eyes. She and the kids were sitting on the couch while King was sleeping in his bed. Adrien had just finished explaining everything that happened to him and King. Including what Adrien found out. Luz was sitting next to him, rubbing his back as he was hunched over.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Adrien asked, looking at his teacher.

Eda looked away from him with a mournful expression. "I didn't want to worry about you or be filled with hate like I was..." 

"Adrien, I'm so sorry." Luz hugged him tightly as her eyes started to water up. She and him were corrected by their shared experience of having lost loved ones. 

"It's okay. I just...I just wish I met him," Adrien said looking down at the ground. "Hey Eda, did you meet my mom?" Adrien asked, looking at the Owl Lady as she stood in place for a second, before walking upstairs.

"No, sorry," she said, disappearing into the second floor.

Now alone with Luz, Adrien looked at her with an expression of shame. "Luz...I'm so sorry for not telling you," he said. "I...I had to...There's no excuse for leaving you behind."

"Hey, it's okay. I did it too, you know. So, in a way, we're kind of even," Luz said, rubbing his cheek. Adrien smiled and leaned into her hand. Her hand was so soft.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!!!
