Through the Looking Glass (Part 35)
(Note that Daedalus still has his arm in his vest like a sling) We see the party riding quickly along the road. The tower of a castle comes into veiw. Aino looks up.
Aino: Is that it?
Lycurgus looks over his shoulder.
Lycurgus: Yup. The Ice Castle.
Aino: Wow...
Daedalus kicks Aglaia and she begins to gallop. Aino does the same. The castke comes more into veiw now. There is a large stone wall surrounding the castle with a large metal gate in the middle of the front wall. They clear the forest and Daedalus heads to the right twoards the back of the catsle. Aino follows him.
Aino: Why are we going this way?
Lycurgus: The gate is locked.
Aino: Uh...ok...(Doesn't know why they are heading that way!)
They come to the back of the castle. It is almost half burnt down. Aino stares wide-eyed at it. She's not looking where she is going and doesn't notice that Daedalus has stopped.
Lycurgus: Hey! Aino!
Aino blinks and looks forward again. She pulls back on Osin's reigns.
Aino: Whoa!
Osin snorts. They are now next to what's left of the back of the castle. Daedalus dismounts and leads Aglaia into the castle. Aino and Lycurgus do the same to Osin. They walk into the rubble. They come to a torn down closet which has about three walls and a ceiling.
Daedalus: We'll keep the horses here.
We now see them walking down a hall that is still pretty much intact. They pass a staircase on their right. Aino stops and looks up at it. Lycurgus stops and turns around to look at her.
Lycurgus: Aino?
Daedalus stops and looks back.
Aino: Mommy...Dadddy!
She runs up the stairs.
lycurgus: Aino!
Daedalus pushes past Lycurgus and runs up the stairs after Aino. Lycurgus follows him. Aino comes to the second story. She turns left down a hall and runs up a second fligt of stairs. She turns left down a hall and runs up a second flight of stairs. She comes to the third story. She takes anothr left dwon another hallway. She comes to a pair of large wooden doors.
Aino: Mommy! Daddy!
She flings them open. The doors open to a bright, cheerful room with a large fireplace, with a fire in it, fluffy bed, a large window on the right wall, bookcases filling the room, a big armchair with her father sitting in it smiling at her with an open book in his lap, and her mother in another chair facing her father her father also smiling at her. Aino smiles. The room fades away to a dark one with ashes in the dark fireplace, a broken window with a vine growing from outside into the room, and the rest of the room the smae except that Aino's mother and father are gone and one of the armchairs is upturned. Aino drops to her knees, droops her head down and begins to cry. Daedalus runs up.
Daedalus: Aino?
She turns her head to face him.
Aino: They're really gone aren't they?
...
Daedalus:...Yes.
Aino looks back at the room. Daedalus kneels down besid her and puts his left (uninjured) hand on her shoulder. She wraps her arms around his neck and buries her face in his shoulder. Daedalus blushes. He embraces her in a one-armed hug.
Daedalus: Shh...shh...
She slowly stops crying. Lycurgus runs up.
Lycurgus: Is she-
Daedalus puts a finger to his lips.
Daedalus (whisper): She's asleep. Help me move her.
