When Belos makes you forget who they are, mini one shots:

Came from a post I made a while ago, how I think the coven heads can't date cause it'll distract them.

Characters included: Raine, Darius, Adrian

Raine:

Raine waited by the airship loading bay. You were supposed to be returning from a mission, but so far, there was no news. They sat and watched scouts run around, orders being thrown about all over the place. They were early, but they wanted to surprise you and congratulate you, even if it went badly.

Soon, the hours rolled by, and they began to worry, playing their violin, to calm themselves, and to think what could be going on. Until a scout captain tapped their shoulder, pulling them out of their trance.

“Head witch. Emperor Belos wants to see you.”

“What for?”

"He didn't say. Please follow me."

They stood, not before taking one final glance at the loading bay, seeing it empty out, before leaving and heading towards the throne room.

The doors opened, Raine was barely able to see each foot in front of the other, let alone Belos sat, hunched, fingers digging into the arm rests, on his throne at the other end of the room.

As they got closer, doors slamming behind them, making them jump, they saw you. Laying on the floor, wheezing for breath and yellow glowing veins littered your body. Raine sped over, dropping to their knees beside you, holding you close, shaking you.

"(Y/N)? Are you okay?"

“Ah Raine. There you are.”

“What did you do to them?”

Belos rose from his throne, and got closer. Raine, held you tightly, glaring with hurt at you, not letting you fall from their grip, refusing to look Belos's way.

“Just a simple spell. Erasing you from their memories.”

He grabbed Raine’s face, forcing them to look at him. They dropped you in the process, but when they tried to reach for you, Belos threw Raine back.

“They were a distraction. I allowed it at first cause they motivated you, but now they're nothing more than a cheap distraction. I had to take action, otherwise you’d fall behind, and I can't have that.”

Belos stood tall, towering over Raine, as they crawled back slightly.

“I do hope you understand.”

Raine was suddenly halted, as a red aura glowed around them and was flung back, taking them out of the room, watching your form get smaller and smaller the faster they were dragged down the hall until the doors closed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You awoke in your quarters, body aching. You tried to stretch, but winced in pain when you tried to raise your arms. You rubbed your wrist, looking ver at your desk to find a note, and curiously hobbled over to it.

The note was from Emperor Belos, congratulating you on your most recent mission, and that the Scout Captain had to take you too to your room due to your hard work. It made you feel proud, knowing that all the hard work was beginning to pay off, that even the Emperor recognised it.

You would've jumped up in joy, but you felt too exhausted. Your body felt like it had ran all across the body of the Titan. Slowly, you grabbed your clothes and got dressed, as the note also said there was a coven head meeting today.

It was more like an observation along with a few other scouts proficient in a type of magic that’ll be useful for future missions. Yours was bard, you had seen the coven head a few times, they were fairly new, possibly been working for six months or so, but you had yet to speak to them properly, rather than through letters or indirect messages through scouts. You hoped you'd be able to speak to them today.

But your hope went away the minute the meeting was over. You knew the head witch didn't like people, but they didn't even look in your general direction when you greeted them or when they left. Even the other coven heads flashed you a glance of sympathy, or pity, you could never really tell.

You decided to follow them, needing to discuss notes and plans for an upcoming mission, but they disappeared without a trace, leaving you standing there in the corridor beyond confused. They only just left, so they couldn't have gotten far, so you trekked down the corridor, asking scouts if they had seen the head witch, with only having no every time.

You huffed in annoyance until a creak caught your attention. Behind a painting, was a dark narrow stairway. Somewhere in the back of your mind told you you'd been here before, it felt so familiar, so you followed the steps up, as you got closer, you could hear the sounds of a soft melody from a violin.

It sounded beautiful, peaceful almost, if not for the sad tonal shift every so often. When you opened the door, there sat the head witch, sitting on the balcony.

You knew better than to disturb them, but you summoned a flute, and played along, not knowing where the urge to play came from, let alone the song.

They turned upon hearing your instrument and gazed at you with shock and surprise, before smiling softly and continued playing alongside you.

"It's a lovely song. Did you write it yourself?" You asked after a while of silence when the music stopped, sitting beside them, staring at the skull of the titan.

"I did. It was for someone special to me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know." Immediately feeling regret, you stood, wanting to leave. They grabbed you hand softly, pulling you back.

"Don't be, it was nice to play it with someone after so long." They turned to face you, the tips of their ears burning a light red.

"How did you know what to play?"

"I'm not sure. I just felt like I heard it before and was drawn to it." You scratched your head, unsure yourself of your own answer, but the head witch laughed.

"Music does make you feel that way. You're very talented."

"Oh please, no where near as talented as you head witch."

"Please, call me Raine."

Darius:

Darius sat, quietly waiting. You had been summoned to the throne room, but you didn't say what for, only that Belos wanted to speak with you. He tried to convince you to send an illusion, if anything should happen, but you held his hand told him not to worry, that you'd be fine.

But that was an hour ago, Darius knew Belos well enough that something would've happened, using your own mind against you. So when the doors finally opened, he leapt up. You walked out, scratching the back of your head, and Darius saw red, assuming the worst and bolted to you.

"(Y/N), are you alright?" He asked, holding your face gently, but you jumped back in surprise.

"Head witch?"

"Its alright, you don't need to pretend anymore."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean." You took his hands off your face gently, placing them at is side, only having a confused look plastered across your face.

"What?" He looked at you in disbelief, you weren't a good actor, better than Adrian, but not by much, so the look and your tone was very real.

"Excuse me." You brushed past him, walking away and disappearing down the corridor. Darius clenched his fists, and stormed into the throne room, causing the doors to slam, Belos sighed at the scene.

"What did you do to them?" Darius yelled, abomination goo beginning to float around him.

"Calm down head witch, you'll only hurt yourself." Belos said all to calmly.

"I did what must've been done. You knew the rules, yet here you are breaking them. I knew you were rebellious, but I thought your time as head witch would've shut that out." Belos stood from his throne, walking towards Darius.

"May I remind you of what happens to witches who rebel?"

Belos summoned his staff, a red aura surrounded it, and images of petrified witches flooded Darius's mind, making him wince and grip his head in pain.

"I'll allow a mess up like this once, but no more."

Belos walked out of the room, leaving Darius standing there. Belos had wiped your memory of him, or most of them. He knew someone he could go to, but the idea of talking to him on a personal level made him nauseous.

"You want me to send you to their mindscape so you can repair their memories?" Adrian stood in the doorway of his office, barley awake.

"Trust me, you're the last person I want to go to but-"

"But I'm the only one who can do mind magic." He stated smugly.

"Vitimir can make a potion, but it'll take too long."

"Hmm." Adrian pondered, placing a finger on his chin.

"Sorry, no can do."

"What why?" Darius stepped forward, but Adrian placed a finger on his shoulder, stopping him.

"Mind magic is complicated. For all we know I could make things worse. Besides, you don't want to be seen as a traitor, do you? I know what your plan is, I could very easily report it." His tail swayed in anticipation, and Darius stood there dumbfounded, he hadn't thought that far ahead.

"Sorry old friend." Adrian shut the door in his face and he sighed rubbing his hand down his face.

"Adrian always make other peoples days so much worse." Your soft voice broke him form his thoughts and he rapidly turned to face you.

"That's why I try not to talk to him." You laughed a little, but gasped when the stack of paper nearly slipped from your grip.

"Usually I don't, but unfortunately I needed to." Darius took some of the papers from you, easing the load.

"Anything I could help with?"

"You look like you've got enough in your hands, but either way, sadly not." He looked at the ground, and began to walk away, but looked back at you.

"Well come on."

"Oh, you don't need to do that head witch, you've got far more important duties than mine." You said catching up, about to take your work from him when he handed it to an abomination.

"Trust me, if I had work to be doing right now I would be." He walked off, head held high, clutching his cape. The abomination held out a hand, wanting your papers, so you reluctantly gave them to it and followed after him.

You both sat down in a work booth, Darius presenting you your favourite drink, which you sipped happily away at. Somewhere deep inside of you wondered how he knew, and why he had a small smile on his face when you exclaimed your excitement the drink, but the quicker the thought came, it went, a red glow coming from your sigil, suddenly confused what you were curious at.

Adrian:

Adrian rushed to the healing wing, shoving whoever was in his way to the floor. Panic rose in him, struggling for breath as he slammed the door open.

"Where are they?"

Hettie walked over, hands raised, trying to stop Adrian from storming over.

"They're here, but you need to stay back. We don't know what condition they're in right now."

"I don't care. I need to see them. They need to know I'm here."

He tried pushing himself off Hettie, but her grip was too strong. He soon gave up, breathing jagged as she got one of the nurses to fetch him a chair.

Hours passed by without hearing of anything, he crunched the note he had received in his hand. A note from Belos, stating that he would've been in big trouble, but has decided a punishment fitting for him, with the necklace he gifted you attached to it. Adrian wrapped the necklace around his hand, and brought it up to his mouth, trying to calm himself down.

Some of the other coven heads stopped by to see how he was doing, and if there was any news, most of the time, it was Darius. He didn't like Adrian at the best of times, but still felt somewhat sorry for him. They knew of Adrian's secret relationship with you, and all agreed to keep it secret, since Adrian had actually begun to work hard and wasn't as much of a pain in their side as usual.

They asked him what had happened, as all they heard was that you were in an accident on a mission but he told them he didn't know either, sounding defeated.

Adrian's foot bounced up and down against the floor at rapid speed, until Hettie opened the door, giving him a saddened look.

"How are they? Can I see them?"

He jumped off his chair, tail flicking around nervously, but Hettie only came closer and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"They're fine, but there's a small complication."

"What do you mean?"

"She doesn't remember anything recently."

"So what? Not remembering missions isn't that bad." Adrian said, sounding unsure when he mentioned a mission.

"Adrian. They don't remember your time together."

Adrian's face fell. Surely she was joking? Her face will break with a crack at the lips, and she'll howl with laughter. But she never did.

"We asked them the last thing they remembered, and they said it was a coven meeting to introduce us to the new golden guard yesterday. "

"It was two years ago." Adrian barely whispered, taking Hettie's hand off his shoulder, staring down at the floor.

"You can still see them, but just be prepared. It's going to be hard, for both of you."

"Why don't they remember?" Adrian's eyes widened, knowing it had something to do with Belos, but he couldn't figure out what, it was all to much for him to think about.

"We don't know yet."

"Well, don't just stand there it's your job. Just figure it out."

When he pulled back the curtain gently, he saw you, smiling and talking with some of the nurses. A small grin tugged at his lips. You were always kind and chatting with others.

Hearing the curtain being pulled back, you turned to face the head witch, confused, but welcomed his presence.

"Good morning, head witch. Dont tell me you've got the common mould too?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hettie and Adrian sat down with you and gently that you weren’t here for mould medicine.

You told them you were just in a meeting and were told you fainted, but when Hettie continued to explain that happened tow years ago, you became frightened. You didn't know what they were talking about, or why the illusion coven head was here.

Seeing the panicked look on your face, Adrian told her to stop, and its best you got some rest. So he left you that evening, telling you he'd back tomorrow, but when you questioned why, he couldn't answer.

As Adrian walked back to his quarters, Belos passed by down the corridor, making him stop in his tracks.

"This is what happens when you can't follow orders Graye. Disobey me again, and I'll make sure their fate is set in stone."

He slunk down the corridor. He failed a mission, and you were being punished, Belos just barely allowed you two together when he saw a difference in his work, but warned that if he failed, he would be punished. Adrian didn't sleep that night, every time he closed his eyes, nightmares filled his head.

The next morning, Adrian came to your hospital room, looking slightly more dishevelled than he usually does. You asked if he was alright, but shut it down, telling you he was fine. Over the course of the day, he filled you in on everything, at first you didn't believe him, but seeing the way he acted and the way he talked about old memories, convinced you, so that evening he took you home, to get you back into some form of normality.

Adrian summoned the construction head witch to create an extra bedroom and shower for you, so to not make you uncomfortable, but to hopefully trigger some memories or at least t get you used to your old life again. You looked around Adrian's room, the colour blue splashed everywhere. But you saw photos, missions, or even nights out of you two together. You held them in your hand, but you just didn't feel anything or a sense of remembrance.

Soon, months flew by, Adrian, still determined, you became close again, like friends, but he started to worry if this was what you wanted. He asked you one night if you still wanted to live with him, have time figure things out for yourself, feeling like he was keeping you prisoner here. But you chose to stay, telling him that although it's been small things that came back to you, you knew there's something about him that made you want to stay.

He accepted your response but always held that offer out to you, which you understood.

You said good night to each other, and closed your door, leaving him standing in his living room, hands in his pockets. He sighed and turned to play some music and tapped his foot along to the beat. It was your favourite song. He played it from time to time when you were asleep.

"I feel like I've heard this before."

Your voice pulled him from his trance, and he turned to you, slowly walking closer, fiddling with your hands.

"It was your favourite. It's a nice song, isn't it?"

"It's beautiful."

"We used to dance to this all the time" He rest a hand on top of the speaker, as you stood next to him.

"We can if you like? Dance to it I mean."

He stared at you, but nodded. You took his hands and gently swayed, you leant your head into his shoulder and took the lead, much to his surprise. He wrapped his tail around your waist as you moved, with him following your movement.

It was enough to give him something to hold onto.

The Owl House characters with a s/o that has a curse head canons:

Characters included: Belos, Darius, Adrain, Eda, Raine, Alador

Belos:

He'd be the least understanding at first

Considering he has his own 'curse' (which is what he tells you) to deal with, he probably won't pay too much attention to it and too focused on his own.

He'll ban you from missions outside the castle. He doesn't want a cursed soldier embarrassing the coven and drawing attention to it, so he makes you do things inside the castle, he keeps telling you its for your own good and to keep you safe.

He'll mostly get Hettie and the healing coven to watch out for you, telling you he's too busy for you, which may make your curse flair up or even feeling a little neglected, but you try to understand it from his point of view, he is the Emperor after all.

But there's also the over side to it, where he may make it his mission to try and cure you, to try and save you from wild magic infecting your body.

He'll send scouts to the night market, looking for anything, clues, potions, items that may be able to help cure it, or at the very least make it more manageable.

If your curse begins to flair up, he'll keep you confined somewhere until it goes down again. He may visit from time to time to see how you're doing. But if you want him to stay, you may have to keep asking him

He won't do activities willingly, and he won't be prepared for them, so you may have to wait a while to do anything and sit in silence.

If he finds you asleep, he'll place his coat over you and smiles softly if he sees you snuggling into it

Darius:

He'd be hyper focused, always making sure you're okay. He might come across as a little overbearing, but it's with good intention.

But as soon as you tell him this, he'll respect it completely and will ask you how much he needs to back off. He wants you to feel safe and comfortable.

He'll worry about you going on mission, but he knows you can handle it, but may need a tad of convincing from you, just to make sure you're 100% okay with it.

Takes a list of everything that stresses you out or upsets you and tries his best not to do those things, and if he does, he'll immediately apologize and ask of you're okay, communicating is key

Has days worth of activities ready for you if you need them, and if there's something he doesn't have, he'll have it with in hours, sending scouts, or an abomination to get it.

He doesn't trust vitimir to make you your elixirs if you need them, so he'll go to some he can trust, so he'll probably ask you where you get them so he can have some stocked up in his quarters whenever you stay over.

If you're having a rough time with your curse, he'll run you a bath and will get you your favourite snacks, hoping it may cheer you up

If that doesn't work, he'll gossip with you about whatever appears on his penstagram feed to take your mind off things, which will mostly be Alador, for a guy that doesn't want anything to do with him he sure likes seeing him on his feed and gossiping about him.

He may even give you his cape to snuggle into or sleep with. But definitely has an abomination to watch over you when he can't if you're asleep.

He'll definitely research curses and may even ask Eberwolf for some assistance if it's a beast/insect type of curse. He wants to understand the creature you turn into, so if you do ever fully transform, he'll know how to handle it.

Adrian:

Like Darius, he'll be overbearing, but he's on the more dramatic side, and probably won't listen to you until he sees you in full curse mode, once that happens he never wants you to be in pain like that again, and takes precaution, but probably too many.

He'll literally keep everyone at more than an arms length if you're walking through the castle, so no one gets too close to scare you or stress you out.

If you try to explain to him that you don't need it, he'll completely disregard it, telling you he's keeping you safe and sound, but once he sees your curse flaring up at times because of that, he may back off, but only slightly.

He'll dread you going on missions without him. It's not that he thinks you're incapable or incompetent. He just worries your curse may flair up, and you'll panic without him.

If he sees a little bit of your curse showing, he'll take you back to his quarters where he'll help you de-stress, but hes definitely unprepared, and sits you down as he runs around, trying to find elixirs and anything else to help you, which may unintentionally make you more stressed.

If you have elixirs, he'll make sure you drink as many as you need, he'll order some scouts out to get more for you, so you're stocked up and can take some with you around the castle.

Whatever you do to de-stress, he'll do with you, the time he's having as coven he needs to de-stress too, whether that's breathing exercises, hugs, sleeping, or anything else you want to do.

If you're having a particularly rough time, he'll stay by your side and do his best to comfort you, which just comes out as vague noises.

He'll put the lights on dim, so not to strain your eyes or to give you a headache, and he'll recite a script or his notes for a mission to you, getting your opinion on it, to take your mind off things.

Might put a show on with his illusions, knowing how much you love them

Eda:

She'll be the MOST understanding person in this list.

With her own curse, she'll know the do's and don'ts, but she'll 100% understand that each curse is different, but with the similarities you both may share, she'll give you a helping hand, asking you what you need and want, and general advice, especially if you're new to it.

She has elixirs fully stocked and labelled, hidden all around the house for easy access.

Has your favourite pillow in her nest, so you have something comfy to sleep with, but she also keeps one in a cupboard with some of your elixirs and anything else you may need, so you can rest on the sofa, should you need to.

Constant reassurance, telling you you're not bothering anyone, you're not stopping their day or anything, all her focus will be on you.

She'll get you your favourite foods and may do some baking with you, which may or may not end in a mini explosion.

May even get some surprises for you at the night market or something you've particularly been after to cheer you up.

She wants you to take it easy, but knows you're more than capable of doing things for yourself and to go out day to day, so she won't stop you, and instead may join you.

If there's a time where you can't make it with eda, King and luz, she'll write you some notes and leaves whatever you need out, along with a scarf she knitted you in your favourite colour

Raine:

Raine will probably try to read as much as possible on curses to try and understand it better and how to approach the topic with you to then compare your own thoughts and feelings on the matter

Once they a somewhat developed understanding, they'll do whatever you need them to, no questions asked

They'll play you soft music to help you sleep or calm you down if you've had a particularly hard day

They'll take you around the castle and to your favourite places to make you laugh or smile

In their room, raine is fully prepared. They have every activity under the sun to keep you entertained or calm in various cupboards

But if you need space, raine might panic a bit, thinking you're pushing them away, but if you explain saying you just need a few hours of nothing, then they'll be okay

If they see your curse flairing you, they'll hug you if you want the contact, stroking your hair and complimenting you, anything to help it go down.

if you dont want a hug, then raine will just sit with you and talk it out, trying to get whatever upsetting you off your chest

Raine may consult Eda on advice if things start to lose their effect, but they won't do this without your permission

Raine will mix some of your elixirs in your favourite drink, especially if it's a bitter elixir, knowing you've always hated the taste. They wanted to try and help with the flavour

Made you a special whistle that only they can hear if anything happens, so they know where you are and how to help you, with each whistle hole signalling different levels of urgency

Alador:

He'd be way more curious at first, wanting to see and understand the different reactions you have, or maybe even what your cursed form looks like, which you may have to pull the plug on.

After that he may put your needs aside on accident if something does happen, cause he really wants to study it so he can try and help in a more scientific way, until you talk to him about it.

But once he notices, he'll apologise and try his best to help when he can, but he'll still be distracted at times, but you know he doesn't mean to

If he's super busy, he'll get an abomatron to watch over you and to alert him immediately should anything flair up, no matter how small

He may even try to make a cure himself, mixing abomination and potions, but once you see it move with a face, you decline, under the impression you can handle it, which he takes at face value and understands

Since Em knows healing magic, he may get her help at times, but she always checks with you if its okay. And with Ed knowing beastkeeping magic, he may also assist if things get out of hand.

He'll visit you often, bringing you gifts, or food he tried to make, just so he can catch up, talk about your days and making sure you're okay

Whatever you need, he'll try his best, since he's no longer making abomatrons for the emperors coven anymore, he has a lot more free time, but he does spend it with his kids, which you don't want to take time away from, knowing the lifestyle he had previously

But when he does make time for you, he'll probably take naps with cuddles, just because he's so tired, but you join him, knowing that sleep can sometimes help keep you rested, making it easier to fight against it.
