The Shannara Chronicles

Stay back!

Run, Amberle! Run!

We have to go! Now!

My aunt!

She's gone.

This can't be happening.

- Is that... - It's a Demon. A Fury.

There will be more coming.

We need to leave.

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?

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...

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!

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.

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!

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.

I just can't believe you fell for some half-baked Rover seduction.

She saved my life.

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.

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.

I think there's more to you than that.

You're wrong.

Hey! Get out of there.

Meet my father, Cephalo.

Why is he collared like a dog?

Untie him.

This isn't how we treat a guest.

Forgive my daughter.

Her brain is no match for her beauty.

- 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.

I'm giving you the opportunity to join it.

I understand you want to be a healer.
