Season #2 Episode #1: Separate Tides

---

Eda:
Well, I'm just gonna smack you around a bit!

Luz:
Leave Eda alone!

Golden Guard:
How about... I leave you dangling above the Boiling Sea!?

Golden Guard:
Around these parts, just the steam is enough to cause third-degree burns.

Golden Guard:
But I don't have to be that mean. No-one will have to be a sailor or get arrested, if one of you follows those Selkidomus tracks and slays the beast. Here! I'll help!

Golden Guard:
Ugh, you're making this difficult... Go, or I drown the bird.

[The Golden Guard lifts up the birdcage and pulls the shade aside, revealing King.]

King:
Weh?

[The Golden Guard drops the shade.]

King:
Ah, it's dark now. [snoring]

Luz:
Fine. I'll do it.

Eda:
Luz, wait! Luz!

[Switch to Lilith, encircled by a ring of firebees.]

Lilith:
I am not one to be trifled with, bees. I am a witch... unhinged!

[She swings at the bees with a stick, making battlecries. Lilith pulls it out and realizes it's burnt.]

Lilith:
What? No, no, no, no, no!

[She falls to the ground, ring of bees closing in.]

Lilith:
I can't do this alone. I need help!

[Hooty emerges out of the ground.]

Hooty:
I'm here for you, Lulu. No witch is an island. Now face my wrath!

Lilith:
[clapping] Ooh.

[Switch to Luz and Eda]

Eda:
Luz, don't hurt the Selkidomus. We can find another way out of this.

Luz:
You heard what he said, Eda. If you and King want to be free... then I have to do this alone.

Eda:
What's this "alone" business? Don't you remember? Us weirdos have to--

Luz:
What? Stick together? Because you stuck with me, you lost your magic. You almost got turned to stone, and now you can't even afford your apple blood because you're worried about what I need to eat. It's my fault all this happened. That's why I've got to do this alone. I'll make it all up to you, Eda the Owl Lady. I promise.

[Luz falls backwards, down into the Selkidomus' den.]

Eda:
Luz!

[Luz falls straight onto the Selkidomus' head. She stirs and roars.]

Luz:
Whoa!

[She dodges a Selkidomus attack, and holds up a glyph.]

Luz:
All right, let's do this.

[Luz summons an ice pillar, but Eda swings on a vine and grabs Luz mid-air, tackling her into cover.]

Eda:
You think throwing your life away is gonna help me? Well, it won't. You helped me find King's crown when you barely knew me. You saved me from turning to stone and you even got me talking to my sister again. So, unfortunately for you, my life is pretty great, because I'm friends with Luz, the human. Now, your guilt-ridden brain is clouding your judgement. There's gotta be a way out of this, where no one has to get hurt.

[Behind them, a baby Selkidomus sounds.]

Luz:
[gasping] Eda, do you want to learn your first glyph?
