   Through the Lokking Glass (Part 28)
Daedalus takes off his sword, cloak, and boots.
Aino: What are you doing?
Daedalus: Getting the shard…?
Aino: But…but-
Lycurgus: What? It’s just a spring.
Aino: But there’s an odd presence down there. It’s surrounding the shard.
Daedalus: I’ll be careful.
He climbs up on a small cliff overlooking the spring and dives in.
Aino: Oh…I have a bad feeling about this...
Lycurgus: Don’t worry. Daedalus swims all the time.
Aino: But that weird presence. Plus it’s freezing out here. What if he gets sick?
Lycurgus: You worry too much.
Daedalus sticks his head out of the water.
Daedalus: It’s stuck in this rock thing down here. Get me my knife out of my boot.
Lycurgus picks up Daedalus’ boot and takes the knife out of the side pocket. He chucks it at Daedalus who catches it and dives back down.
Lycurgus: See? He’s fine.
We now see Daedalus swimming down to the bottom where there is a large rock formation. He swims down to the middle of it where there is a glint of light. He takes his knife and begins to pick the shard out. He finally gets it out and begins to swim towards the surface when the rock begins to move. Large tentacles come bursting out from the ground. Daedalus stops and looks back. The rock comes out of the ground revealing to be a squid-like creature with one eye. Daedalus quickly swims to the surface the squid creature follows him. Daedalus bursts out of the water.
Lycurgus: What?! What is it?!
The squid creature bursts out of the water behind him and Daedalus turns around. Aino quickly unsheathes Daedalus’ sword and chucks the sword into the squid creature’s mouth. Purple blood gushes forth as it crashes its tentacle down upon Daedalus. The squid creature sinks into the water out of view.

Lycurgus: Nice shot.
Aino: ^ ^ Thanks. Wait…Where’s Daedalus?!
Lycurgus: Oh no.
Aino: We have to save him!
Lycurgus: I can’t swim!
Aino: Uuhhg…!
She quickly takes of her vest and shoes and climbs up onto the cliff and dives in. She swims down to the bottom. Daedalus is seen unconscious under the dead squid creature’s tentacle with blood floating around his forehead. Aino quickly swims down to him and tries to pull him out from underneath the tentacle. She frees him and grabs his sword and quickly swims to the surface. She bursts out of the water and swims to shore. Lycurgus runs into the water and helps to pull Daedalus out. He lays Daedalus down on the bank and puts his ear to Daedalus’ mouth. His head snaps up and looks at Aino who is coming out of the water.
Lycurgus: He’s not breathing!
Aino: What?!
She runs over and kneels down.
Aino: No! Come on Daedalus!
Aino holds Daedalus’ nose and gives him mouth-to-mouth.
Aino (thinking): “Please wake up…”
Daedalus’ eyes open and he turns his head away from Aino and coughs up water.
Aino: You’re alive!
Aino wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him.
Aino: Oh thank God…You’re alive…
Lycurgus: Don’t scare us like that anymore! Sheesh!
Daedalus: *cough* Sorry…
Aino: Are you ok?
Daedalus: Yeah I think so…
He unclenches his left hand. There is an Ice Sword shard in the middle of it.
Aino: You got it!
Lycurgus: Well we better get a fire started so you two don’t freeze to death.
We now see Daedalus and Lycurgus sitting around a fire. Lycurgus is helping Daedalus wrap his arm in a new bandage. Daedalus looks up.
Daedalus: Where’s Aino?
Lycurgus: I dunno.
Daedalus: I hope she didn’t get lost.
Lycurgus: I’m sure she’s fine You should’ve seen her today though, when you were unconscious. I’ve never seen her act that way before. She dove right in without even thinking.
Daedalus: Really?
Lycurgus: Yeah. She’s something. There, done.
Daedalus: Thanks. Yeah…she is.
Daedalus puts his shirt and cloak back on.
Daedalus: I better go find her. I’m getting worried.
He stands up and walks away.
