Season #2 Episode #1: Separate Tides

---

Lilith:
No! I don't want your help. I told you not to follow me!

Hooty:
If I were you, I would--

Lilith:
You would what? Because it doesn't matter. You aren't me. You're just some kind of weird bird-worm. You have no idea what I'm going through. I have to do this alone, because if I can't... what kind of witch am I?

Hooty:
Sorry, Lulu. I mean, sorry, Lilith.

Lilith:
Now, let's try this one more time.

Salty:
We're here. The Simmering Shoals. Eyes peeled, mates.

[A burning ship sails past. Sailors take off their hats and pay respects.]

Salty:
She's close.

[The Selkidomus tail thwacks against the side of the ship.]

Luz:
She's here!

[Luz corners the Selkidomus with ice pillars, then wraps it in vines. She starts pulling it onto the ship.]

Salty:
Help her, boys! Put your backs into it.

[Luz ties the vine onto the ship.]

Luz:
I did it!

[Explosion on deck. Luz falls. The Selkidomus breaks free and swims away. Luz sees a silhouette of someone carrying a bag of money.]

Salty:
Is that a-- a ghost pirate?

Luz:
The money! We're being robbed.

[The thief jumps off the ship onto a speedboat and heads to a nearby island. Luz summons a boat-shaped block of ice, jumps on, then propels herself with a fire spell after them.]

Salty:
[laughing] Show that specter what for, Luz.

[Luz close to the shore. The ice has melted to barely support her feet. She loses her balance and is sent flying, colliding into the thief who drops the money at the shore. It opens and it gets washed away. Closeup of Luz and the thief's face.]

Luz and thief:
The money!

[The thief's eyes are yellow and grey. Luz walks over and knocks off her hat, revealing it's Eda.]

Luz:
Eda!

Eda:
[sheepishly chuckling] Hey.

Luz:
Why are you robbing our ship? And what happened to your legs?

Eda:
It's called "disguising your tracks". Now, why were you on that ship to begin with? You coulda gotten killed!

Golden Guard:
That can still be arranged.

Golden Guard:
Hello, criminals. What's about to happen should be relatively painless, if you just do what I say.

Luz:
And why would we do that?

Golden Guard:
Because none of you can use real magic.

Eda:
You don't know that!

Golden Guard:
Maybe not, but I do know you're standing on a plant that eats flesh.

Golden Guard:
Okay--the human will remain a sailor to repay all the money she lost, while the Owl Lady will be arrested, again, for attacking one of the Emperor's ships.

Luz:
"Emperor's ship"?

Eda:
They're the only ones worth robbing. Why are you guys hunting the Selkidomus? It's a peaceful creature, and you're provoking it!

Golden Guard:
The Emperor ordered me to slay one. I'm just following orders.
