Ohhh do you think you will be able to write some headcanons for an alternate timeline where the Redcliff Rangers find Lualight instead of the members from the church? It couuuld be interesting~
okay, making Lualight more Floridian for this because it is funny.
Sidestory/au of Lualight in the Inpherno.

Lualight and RedCliff Wranglers Headcannons/short story:
cw: Not many. Just the usual bullshite.
-You are found in the middle of the desert by Grappling Hook and Beehive when they were doing their patrols. They saw you stumbling about from above while flying about on their birds. Beehive wanted to leave you, but Grapple decided to being you back to their camp. You only had a basic grasp of the inphernal language from what Darkheart had taught you. The first thing that Grapple notices is that you do not have any horns. That and you did not have the normal newspawn aggression, you tried to hide in some brambles. The second thing was that you didn't use your gear.
-When Grapple first brought you to the camp, the other members swarmed around you like curious birds. You immediately hid in their cloak to get away from the other wranglers. Grappling Hook took you to the medical tent to get checked over and asked questions about you. You were dehydrated and hungry, but otherwise healthy. They tried to see what inphernal in the camp could take you, but you stubbornly clung to them. So you unofficially became their problem. You were given a small hat and cloak like theirs and followed them around to help with chores. You call them 'papa' or 'dad', which makes them smile.
-You, being a bit of a curious and fearless child, tried many times to pet the birds the wranglers ride. You have picked up snakes, smaller birds, lizards, A tarantula (that happened to be a gear), and many other animals. Grappling Hook had to teach you what was safe and what was not. You scare them a lot with what you have been able to pick up. You have scared others in the camp as well from bringing in other dangerous animals. How you are able to handle them is being anyone's understanding.
-You help Tarantula with animals sometimes. She lets you hold her pet tarantula and has made your poncho. She taught you how to speak their language more and how to ride the vulture mounts. She is one of your favorites besides Grappling Hook. She gives you cute nicknames. You use her to hide from the Darkage clan visitors as they tend to be mean to you.
-There is another newspawn in the camp you play with, Cowbell. Bell is your friend and you two make crafts out of the bird feathers you collect. When you were finally able to speak enough of the inphernal language, you told Bell about some things you had seen before you came to the desert. Bell likes to braid your hair and weave feathers into it. Your pink wearing friend doesn't mind that you are different than the other inphernals and accepts you since you two play a lot.
-You like mostly all the camp members, except the Darkage clan. They are mean. However, your heart breaks whenever you pass by the medical tent. Seeing all the injured wranglers and dying friends makes your heart feel heavy. You want to help them. This feeling reaches a tipping point when you see some of your Dad's closest friends be carried into the tent. Caltrop and Chuck had been ambushed. You see Bell cry next to their dad. You could not help but cry too. Your crying and intense sadness seemed to have triggered your dormant power as your body sparked and a sound like a clap of thunder sounded. The entirety of the medical tent was bathed in a bright light. When the light settled, Chuck and Caltrops were fine. No injuries or anything. This was immediately reported to Grappling Hook.
-Your abilities were questioned by Grappling Hook and the other inphernals in the camp. How it was so loud and bright, how it felt warm, and most important... How it looked like the light of the spawn well. You were taken aside to ask questions by both Grapple and the Darkage clan members who stayed in camp. You didn't know what your powers were or what your name was. You didn't know why it happened at all. You just wanted to help your papa's friends.
-After you healed Chuck and Caltrops for the first time, you were sent to stay in the medical tent to help with keeping the camp healthy, as the other inphernals believed it to be a healing type gear. Some, however, believed it to be something else.
You were counting the supplies while being watched by Sunfire, a Darkage member who distinctly hated you for your lack of horns. She watched you put everything in order before another clan member came and whispered something to her before handing her something and leaving. She looked at the object before calling to you.
"Hornless. Get over here.," she hissed.
You gave her an annoyed look, remembering to tell your papa about how rude she was being later, before walking over to her. She shoved a paper in your face. It was some simple drawings of inphernals with a few hornless figures. There was writing that was not inphernal inscribed next to it.
"Do you have any idea what this is?," she asked, "One of our members found a scroll with this and much more on it."
You looked at it. The words were familiar. You could read them easily.
"It's part of a story.," you replied, "About some inphernals and some... Hornless hunting something."
She looked at the paper and then back to you, "You can read it?"
"It's the language my parents and I spoke.," you answered honestly.
-The Darkage clan brings some ancient texts for you to translate every so often, giving you something else to do after figuring that out. They find the name of the energy you use, Lua, from one of the texts and decide that shall be your name.
-You keep helping around the camp and playing with the others. It was pretty fun to live there, even though there was a war going on between your father's faction and the Church. You have seen many of your friends come back hurt or never come back at all. You noticed that the supplies were dwindling. Your group was being cut off from crucial food and water.
-Grappling Hook decided that they needed more supplies. You wanted to go with them. Bee was against it, especially after knowing just how valuable your abilities were. Your father let you come anyway.
You and your father were ambushed. Vultures of the church circled the two of you, your papa stashed you in bramble bushes to protect you. They knew they had to hold the line. You could heal them later. However, they started to falter. You saw them get struck down. You felt fear. Fear for your papa and yourself. However, you also felt rage. These inphernals had hurt so many of your group and have kept your friends from the spawn shrine. It made you mad. The same energy from before felt like rushing out of you. You did not hold it back and let it.
The sky grew dark with your rage as you unleashed your power. Like a hundred thunderclaps, a loud sound rang out as a tidal wave of sharp and dangerous crystals were summoned forth to shred the enemy. Once your rage subsided, the landscape was littered with splashes of blood and torn bodies. Your only thought was your papa. You ran to them and healed their wounds.
-Grapple was equally impressed and horrified by your power. Something like that felt unnatural and yet you were there, hugging their side as they walked through the torn bodies of cultists. They flew with you to where they stashed their supplies. Thankfully, nothing bad happened afterwards. The next morning, they would find that the supplies seemed to have more than overnight, giving the camp a much needed break. They knew it had to be you. You were the only one who could have been behind it.
-speaking of cultists, Scythe would find out about you sooner or later. She would be confused as to why or how her Ex has a daughter. But she's more enamored with you after first seeing you with Grappling Hook. She even ambushed you herself just to meet you. The dynamic would be divorced parents. She doesn't think her good for nothing ex would provide for you well enough and wants to take you to the church. Grappling Hook wants to keep you away from their Ex-wife and her creepy family who would not doubt exploit you.
-in the end, you'd have three factions wanting to keep you for their power.
-Hopefully, one of the Seven beings that you caught the attention of can come help you out of the sticky situation you got yourself in.
A/N: got a little bored. Sorry.
