Season #2 Episode #3: Echoes of the Past

---

Hooty:
Are we still flying? It's been hours.

Lilith:
Should we call it a day? Or perhaps a night? [laughing] Hooty, your sense of humor is infectious.

King:
There it is!

[He points at an island slowly becoming clear in the fog. He steers Luz down towards it, and Lilith follows.]

Lilith:
This island shouldn't be here. It's not on any of the maps.

King:
It's always been there when I looked for it.

[They land on the shore and walk into the jungle.]

King:
After I shrunk, I woke up here, in Eda's arms, and she carried me away. Like a wittle baby.

Luz:
Awww...

[Luz grumpily gestures at Lilith and Hooty to follow.]

Lilith:
[sighing] Fine. Aw.

Hooty:
[gasps] Look!

[The fog clears to reveal a dilapidated tower.]

King:
Ah, home sweet home.

[Cut to black]

[Our heroes are trekking through the jungle, with King leading the way. King climbs over a tree root, with Luz and Lilith behind him.]

Lilith:
That tower is certainly intriguing, but-- Oh!

[She trips over the root. Hooty extends himself to a nearby tree trunk to stabilize her.]

Lilith:
Thank you, Hootsifer.

Hooty:
[muffled] My pleasure.

Lilith:
But couldn't we have landed a little closer?

King:
The treetops are so thick, this is the only way in. Plus, now I can dramatically do..

[King grabs a bush obscuring the path. He pulls it aside, revealing a keyhole-shaped entrance to the tower.]

King:
...this!

Luz:
Ooh. A door fit for a tyrant.

King:
[chuckles] That's me!

[They walk toward the entrance, which is blocked by rocks. King climbs them.]

King:
I'll find you guys another way in. Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle!

[King crawls into a crevice in the rock pile. Lilith walks over to a wall with a strange symbol caved into it.]

Lilith:
Huh. What a strange material. And this symbol. I've never seen anything quite like this.

Hooty:
Ha! I've seen better graffiti. I've got better graffiti on me.

[Hooty raises his side, showing "LUZ!" and three cool S's graffitied on him.]

Lilith:
Luz, look! This predates any language I know. King's story may be a fake, but these ruins are a history mystery. [giggles]

[The rocks collapse, clearing the way. King peeks up.]

King:
Eh? What's a mystery?

Luz:
[laughing] The only mystery is how Lilith can be so smart and so wrong at the same time. Academics, am I right?

King:
You so are. Come on in.

[Lilith give Luz a dirty look, and she sheepishly smiles back. The two climb over the rocks and into the tower. They use light glyphs to make their own lights and examine the room, which is littered with rocks stacked to make the same figure of something with two or three round rocks as a body and a crescent-shaped head placed horizontally.]
