[Episode opens with King reading from a focused on the history of the Boiling Isles.]

King: The Boiling Isles, born from the flesh and bones of a Titan. This original magic was so potent, all life on the Isles evolved to wield magic too. For years, we explored those power freely. Until, a mysterious witch appeared who declared that he, and he alone, could speak to the island. He said that we were using magic all wrong. His teachings took hold, his strength grew, and he became... Emperor Belos. Belos said that mixing magic was wrong, that only he had that right. So he created the coven system. And there, our knowledge was restricted, and our potential sealed away. Those who resist are called wild witches, and they face harsh punishment. Emperor Belos has since retreated into his castle. There are whispers that say he's planning something big.

[Cut away from the book to King and Luz and Lena in the latter's room.]

King: I wonder if catching Eda was part of his big plan. What do you think, Luz and Lena? Luz? Lena?

[Luz stares at the tag on her cape while Lena stares at the tag on her cloak, reading: "To the young witches from their proud mentor EDA".]

Luz: We don't care what Belos is up to... because today, We're saving Eda!

Lena: But, how do we do that?

[Cut to Luz opening the door to a room decorated with weapons where Lena smiles.]

King: Luz, Lena, what are you two doing?

Luz: This is serious, King. Eda used her power to save me and got caught by Lilith. Now she's the Owl Beast and is being taken before the Emperor! 

Lena: Luz is right! We don't know what he's planning to do with Eda, but we're going to rescue her.

King: Haven't you been listening to me? He's the Emperor! He's the most powerful witch alive!

Luz: King, please try to understand. Eda is in this situation because of me. Because of my stupid choice. I have to make up for it.

Lena: Luz. It's not your fault.

King: But she's in her Owl Beast form! How will she even recognize both of you?

Luz: We don't know. 

Lena: But we're gonna try anyway.

King: Well then, I'm going too.

Luz: King...

Lena: Why?

King: Me and Eda don't always see eye-to-eye, but I do consider her family. I want her back as much as both of do.

Luz: Alright. Then we've got no time to lose! [Runs out of the room.]

Lena: Wait up! [Runs out of the room.]

King: Nyeh!

[King throws the book on the ground, which opens to the page with Belos on it. Cut to Emperor Belos's throne room, focusing on the Titan's beating heart before panning down to the throne. Beast Eda runs around from Lilith.]

Lilith: Eda, stop that this instant!

[Beast Eda tears down a tapestry of Belos, begins chewing on it.]

Lilith: [Bubbles Beast Eda.] Don't look at me like that. This is for your own good. Emperor Belos will heal you, and we'll be in together. Isn't that wonderful?

[Beast Eda blows a raspberry at Lilith.]

Lilith: I will not fall prey to your childish games. [Promptly sticks her tongue out at Eda.]
