Tell me what's going on.
How did that thing find us?
Honestly, I don't know.
No one even knew we were headed here.
The Dagda Mor's agent in the palace
will stop at nothing to finish off the Chosen.
Finish off?
What happened to the others?
Tell me!
They were murdered.
Two nights ago.
Lorin?
(Allanon) We must take you to the Ellcrys immediately,
otherwise many more will die.
Amberle, wait!
Way to go.

Leave me alone.
I can't.
Druid's orders.
I know how you feel.
I, uh...
I lost my mom last week.
I tried everything...
every elixir
and potion I could get my hands on.
I thought I could fix it,
that I could save her,
but, uh... I couldn't.
I never knew it was possible to miss someone so much.
Back at the cliff... thank you.
♪♪
You're braver than you look.
Oh, don't mistake terror for bravery.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Lorin.
I'm afraid to go back to Arborlon.
Why?
Because of the Ellcrys?
Because of what I did.
I caused this.
(Allanon groans, thuds)
Allanon...

The Druid cave...
take me here.
I can't stop the bleeding.
- I need to suture it, or... - Enough.
You must get her to the Ellcrys.
No, I'm not leaving you behind.
Forget about me, boy.
You must keep her safe.
Hey, hey, Allanon!
(gasping)
All right, come on.
- Hey, where are you going? - The Silver River.
Its mud is famed for its healing properties.
- I should stay with Allanon. - No, you're coming with me.
I promised him I'd protect you.
(gasping)
Okay.
Glad to see you're coping well, my son.
Had reports of attacks on Elvin farms and villages
in the Westland.
Demons.
Any word from Amberle?
I should never have trained her for the Gauntlet.
You indulge her.
Same way her father indulged you.
There was nothing that Aine would not do
for his baby brother.
Including giving his life.
Now is not the time to dredge up painful memories.
If our sins are coming back to kill us,
we might as well get them all on the table.
Son... Gnomes murdered your brother, not you.
You wish it was me that died that night
instead of Aine, don't you?
See, I wish the same thing, every day.
♪♪
Why you? Excuse me?
Why did the Druid pick you to protect me?
No idea.
Did you know your ears turn red when you lie?
My last name is Ohmsford, but according to Allanon,
I'm part of the Shannara bloodline.
Wait, you're a Shannara?
That's incredible.
Every Elf knows the story of Jerle Shannara by heart,
the great warrior king who united the Four Lands with his magic.
Yeah, well, they didn't talk about that very much out in the Vale.
- Not a lot of Elf fans out here. - Yeah, I'm beginning to see that.
Look, I'm no warrior.
And I can guarantee you there's no magic running through these veins.
I'm heading to Storlock as soon I get you and Allanon back to the palace.
What if I don't want to go back?
I'll help you save the Druid, but after that,
it's better for everyone if I just disappear.
No, it's not. Come on.

This is it.
The Silver River.
I assume you can swim?
You get dunked as often as I did growing up, you learn pretty quick.
Hey, what happened to "eyes up here"?
Sorry.

Amberle!
Naked and wet again, I see.
Eretria!
You two know each other?
Your boyfriend and I spent a magical night together.
That night was far from magical.
She drugged me, then robbed me blind.
I need those Elfstones back!
Be nice. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead.
All right, whatever your issue with me, let Amberle go.
Not happening.
I've got unfinished business with this Elf.
Our paths crossed in the woods.
Enough! Time to go.
Eretria, please, our friend is dying.
I need to apply this mud to his wound before it's too late.
Well, your friend's out of luck.
Look, there are Demons out there.
I know it sounds crazy, but you have to believe me.
They could pick up our trail any minute.
Demons? Do I look stupid?
Actually, yes.
But he's telling the truth.
You think you're better than me.
But out here, you're nothing.
Just two stray dogs.
A clueless mutt.
And a stuck-up bitch.
Collar them!

I really don't think glaring at her is gonna get us anywhere.

She also stripped you naked and robbed you.
That wouldn't have happened if she hadn't batted her well-trained lashes at you.
What? Please. She's not my type.
Your ears are turning red again.
My uncle warned me Rovers can never be trusted.
No matter what they say, they always have an agenda.
When you've spent your life being judged for who you are,
you try to keep an open mind about people.
You two fight like a couple of old Gnomes.
Eretria, listen, you don't know what's at stake here.
Set us free and give me back the Elfstones.
(horse whinnies, Wil grunting and groaning)
A Demon attack is probably the best thing that could happen to you.
Don't make me get off this horse.
This is your plan? Insult her?
- Just follow my lead. - All right.
You wanted a rematch, let's do it.
I'll pass.
You intimidated by an Elvin girl, is that it?
Have your man take off my collar,
- and I'll need a sword... - Oh, come on!
Thought she'd never shut up.
Put her on the back of my horse.
That wasn't even close to a fair fight!
Well, the world isn't fair.
Why are you doing this?
Like she said, I'm a Rover.

Forgive my daughter.

- The Elvin girl I was with... - She's safe.
It would be better if Amberle and I left.
We need to get back. A friend needs our help.
He think Demons are hunting them.
Demons?
You have quite an imagination, don't you?
Rest assured, you and your friend are well-protected here.
Somehow that doesn't make me feel safer.
There's nothing to be afraid of, Wil.
We're the same as you.
We all want the same thing... peace and prosperity.
We don't have much in the Vale,
but we never resort to stealing.
The Elves left us no choice.
They're the real thieves.
Drove us from our homes.
You don't have to justify yourself to me.
I'm just your prisoner.
I know it's been hard for you, Wil.
Too human for the Elves, too Elvin for the Humans.
But here you would be accepted.
Are you asking me to become a Rover?
I'm offering you much more than that.
- We're a family. - (cheering)
I'm giving you the opportunity to join it.
I understand you want to be a healer.
Your skills would be valued here.

Walk around.
Get to know everybody.
Give me your answer tonight at the feast.

Is the Elf girl ready?
No.
And why is that?
Look...

I don't care.
But?
I kill to survive, not for sport.
(scoffs)
Amazing.
I teach you everything I know
and yet you still come up stupid every time.
Eretria, I need you to put on a convincing show.
Unless the half-breed thinks you're willing to gut her,
he won't tell me how to unlock those Stones.
And I really, really want those Stones.
And once you get what you want?
Then you'll do to her what I'll do to you

So, I guess at that point, yeah.
I guess it will be killing for survival.

Back to Arborlon.
Save that for someone who cares.
You really don't like Elves, do you?
No.
And the fact that it's a shock to you
makes me hate them even more.
Here are your choices.
Put these on and we fight to the death.
Here are your choices.
Or punch me in the face and make a run for it.
Why would I do either of those things?
One, because you want to live,
and the other, because you want to die?
What, and I'm supposed to trust that you're helping me out of, what?
The goodness of your heart?
When and if I kill you,
I want it to be my choice, not his.
This is not gonna be my life.
Well, I can't leave Wil.
We have to get back to our friend.
You don't really get it, do you?

Let him go!
You didn't think this through, did you?
Shut up.

He almost died saving me.
Blaming yourself is worthless.
The Stones are his burden to bear.
This is only the beginning.
More will come.
And what makes you think Wil and I can do anything to stop them?
Because you share a destiny. A greater purpose.
Yeah, and if you're wrong?
The events leading us to this moment
have been unfurling for centuries.
Wil lies here because he has yet to reconcile who he is

You ran the Gauntlet trying to find your place in life
and yet destiny had already found it for you.
Everything, all of this,

it is happening to you.
And the sooner you accept that, the better.

Wait, why isn't Amberle going straight to the Ellcrys?
Because she abandoned her sacred duty
as a member of the Chosen.
Only the Elvin Council can grant her permission to reenter the Sanctuary.

Let me assure you, these Demons are real.
Not only did they kill the Chosen but also my aunt, Pyria.
The Ellcrys will bear a seed.
That seed must be carried by one of the Chosen

There it will be immersed in the Bloodfire.
Only then can it be returned

As the only remaining member of the Chosen,
the burden of this quest falls upon your princess...

My father taught me that magic died years ago.
I was wrong.
Yet now he asks us to believe in fairy tales.
For all we know, this is nothing but a plot by the other Races

Demons are your enemies.
And she is your only hope.
We cannot put the fate of the Four Lands and the Elvin people

Amberle didn't run away.

Commander Tilton, escort him out now.
By Elvin law, you are not to lay a hand

No, he is not.
