Emperor Belos, Prophecy, Luz, Eda, and the Big Plot

Ok so it’s 1AM and I’m really just putting my conversation with @wanderings-and-wondering​ into a post for you all. Loosely inspired by @kelltheowlenby ‘s chosen one post.

So on Twitter somewhere (I don’t remember where), the voice actor for Emperor Belos described his character as a “megolomaniac” and “omnipotent.” That got me thinking about Emperor Belos, and the weirdly perfect events of The Owl House. If there’s a godlike figure ruling over the Boiling Isles, then are any of the things that happened to Luz an accident?

Anyways, so here’s what I’m predicting: Emperor Belos has been using prophecy to shape Luz’s entire experience, in order to use her for his benefit. 

How did I reach this conclusion? Simple. Alex Hirsch and Dana Terrace both wrote for Gravity Falls. That’s a show where they’ll introduce unimportant things as plot devices in season 1, and then they end up being part of a massive conspiracy in season 2. 

Let’s begin the breakdown, shall we?

First off, prophecy. In true Gravity Falls fashion, we were introduced to the really fascinating and downplayed existence of the Oracle Track. I mean, people have the ability to predict the future! To see various paths that could happen, and manipulate people based off those tracks! Can you imagine the potential in that?

Emperor Belos can. He has prophets at his disposal. The Emperor’s Coven does every type of magic, and they’re comprised of gifted kids with intense work ethic, like Amity. With enough people, he could see anything. Every way in which Luz would enter the Isles, every way she would accumulate power, every way to break her and bend her to his wishes.

And Luz is so easy to manipulate. All you need to do is threaten someone she loves. I mean, she challenged Boscha to a near-death match to restore Willow’s honor. Imagine what she would do if Amity, King, or Eda were in trouble.

Before we can figure out what he does next, first we need to know what Belos’s motives are. Fortunately, he’s pretty easy to figure out. I mean, he presides over a broken system. People are confined to covens, where their power is restricted by magical branding. The Emperor’s Coven holds all the excess power, since they can use any type of magic, including the excess created by magic restrictions. His system even tears people apart, going so far as to make Lilith willing to submit her own sister to the coven.

Ya boi Belos wants power. He likes seeing people do whatever he wants. He likes being secure and worshipped. The only problem is, now there’s this Luz. She takes magic directly from the island. She’s a human and somehow manages to make extremely powerful spells. And when she works with other people (mainly Amity), she makes their spells a whole lot stronger. Her power is immense and contagious...something Belos doesn’t want in the hands of someone like Eda.

So if Belos doesn’t want Eda to have access to Luz’s magic, then why did he let Eda raise Luz to be so powerful? 

That’s all explained by the prophets. Look, he knows stuff we didn’t know when the series started. Things like: Eda is the only person who would teach Luz how to draw glyphs and cast island-fueled spells. Owlbert would lead Luz into the demon realm. Lilith would pressure Eda to join the coven while being unable to bring her in--reminding Eda of the coven’s power without using it prematurely. Luz would grow attached to Eda and Amity, two people who can be easily taken and used by the Emperor’s Coven.

Emperor Belos planned this. He wanted Luz to learn how to use the island’s magic before he took her magic. He wanted Luz to get this false sense of security, where she could focus solely on learning. That’s the best way for Luz to become the most powerful spellcaster on the Isles--to let her feel safe enough to learn however she wants to.

And now, Emperor Belos has a plan to control Luz. Here’s some fast facts about Eda. She’s currently the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles. She is wanted by the law and has been chased for ages, though people have largely let her off easy for her crimes. 

Look, Eda could’ve been arrested ages ago. She’s up against the man with access to all the power in the Isles. The only reason she’s free is because Belos knows she’s useful if she teaches Luz and connects with Luz.

Why? Because Eda is now a bargaining chip.

Look, everyone in The Owl House has a trigger, a way of being manipulated. With Amity, just dangle a sense of acceptance in front of her and she’ll bite. With Eda, offer her something shiny or put Luz in danger. And for Luz, all you have to do is take the people she cares about and put them in trouble.

The people Luz cares about most are Eda, King, and Amity. While King and Amity are great, Eda is the key. Luz left her home because her mom didn’t let her follow her dreams. Eda is the mom who lets her follow her dreams, the family she has been craving, where everything is perfect and she doesn’t have to try so hard to patch things over. You take Eda away, and you take away the number-one thing behind Luz being here.

So now we have the perfect storm. Episodes 15-17 developed Luz and Amity, giving Luz an ally, and lulling us into a false sense of security. Lilith popped up in episode 17, reminding us that the Emperor is pushing harder for her to take Eda in. Luz knows a lot of spells, and at this point she’s learning entirely from the island. She’s at an excellent power level. She doesn’t need Eda to teach her spells anymore.

So now is the perfect time for Emperor Belos to use Eda against Luz, starting the darkest part of The Plot and casting the entire first season in an entirely new light.

Who wrote the letter? Owl house theory

So we all saw at the end of enchanting Grom fright that when Camilia said that she can’t wait to receive more letters from Luz & Luz said to herself how that was a funny way to say message then scene cuts to where we see letters being sent a Camillia about her supposed daughters fun time at the summer camp. We know for sure there was no way Luz could’ve done that, so question is who did?

I have a couple theories of who it could be in some of them may be more frightening than you think.

The most obvious one would our owl lady Eda. We know she’s the only one thus far that can travel between the human and the demon realm. It would make sense that she would try to distract Camilla from knowing where Luz really is so she could’ve written a fake letter.  we even see that she does go into the human world at times to grab junk. The question is how would she know where Luz lives or who her mom is or anything about summer camp if Luz never mentioned it to her. She might have mentioned summer camp once or twice but I don’t think she ever talks about her mom or her life in the human world all that much to give much clues. Another thing is how would Eda know how to write a letter making it sound like absolutely nothing like Luz if she’s been with Luz for around a month or so without informing her. I think by now she knows Luz well enough to impersonate her in the letter even though the letter sounds nothing like a human as you will see later on in the theory. It doesn’t seem like Eda would do such a thing behind Luz’s back like that.

Our next option would be Amity. With the most recent episode we do see that she starts to develop feelings for Luz and is aware that Luz comes from the human world. What I’ve heard some say is that Amity might have made the fake letters to distract Camilia from being suspicious of her daughters whereabouts but just like in Eda’s case, how would she know where Luz lives or even get to the human world? She couldn’t have. Dimension hopping seems like a very advanced spell that only powerful witches and wizards could achieve. While we know Amity is powerful she’s not that powerful to go into different worlds like Eda or anyone from the emperors coven. The last point to make is that the hand writing from her Grom letter & the letter to Camilia don’t share the same handwriting. As you can see here.

So I don’t think it’s Amity either. We know she has a crush on Luz but would she go as far to as to keep Luz away from her family just to keep Luz to herself?? Now that I said it outloud it sounds like a great fanfiction idea💡. Jokes aside, it can’t be Amity. She would never hurt Luz like that.

So it’s hard to say if Amity would be this reckless & do something like that but I’m leaning towards maybe not.

Now let’s talk about someone who would definitely want to hurt Luz. The Emperor. “But why would he do that?” You’re thinking. Think about it, besides Eda who else is powerful enough to most likely be the one sending out these fake letters? The emperor. You’re probably thinking but “why would he care about a human he never met before?” Just think about it Luz is a human and she’s in another world where no one has ever seen a human before (or so we think) and humans aren’t welcomed into their society. Even Lilith was amazed when she first saw Luz & asked how Eda managed to “find one” like Luz was something exotic. You really think Lilith didn’t tell the emperor about Luz? She doesn’t know her or even care about her so what’s stopping her from telling the emperor about her sister finding a human and bringing that human into their world? Nothing.

So she had to of told the emperor and him knowing that if the human eventually returns to her world she’s gonna start telling people about this magical place where demons & witches live it could put the world in danger because she knows too much. There’s no way the emperor would want a human to leave and start telling people about it so what I believe most likely happens was since he must also be powerful enough to go between dimensions, he must have sent these fake letters out to her mom so she doesn’t become suspicious. Because if she does become suspicious that’s gonna start a search party for Luz and it could potentially lead to their world being found out. It would be a greater risk to let her go rather than keeping her a prisoner on the boiling isles.

Because let me tell you no human would ever write that like as you see in the pic and notice how they misspelled her name the first time. if it was Bellos it would make sense because he can’t have his empire exposed to humans & considering he’s trying to capture Eda & Luz is her apprentice & all, it wouldn’t be impossible to think he would be the one behind this & possibly do something horrible like create a fake illusion of Luz to give to her mom or erase her memory or keep her prisoner. I don’t think he would risk it and would probably just decide to dispose of her all together.  it’s a bit of a stretch but you know they’re foreshadowing something & they put that scene in the end meant to give us a lot questions.

You guys are probably wondering well how would he know where Luz lives. Considering how many generations the boiling isle has been around I wouldn’t be surprised to think that this isnt the first time a human made it to that world considering that they know what human looks like and they are aware of humans chances are humans have been on the boiling Isles before and emperor Bellos had to dispose of them.

And I’m starting to think Luz might be the next victim of humans knowing too much.

Something big is gonna happen y’all.
