The Shannara Chronicles...

As king, I welcome you to
the Order of the Chosen.

Thousands of years ago

our Elven ancestors
fought a w*r against

an army of Demons.

The Ellcrys is dying.

And you are the only one
who can save it.

Each leaf represents
a single Demon.

Once they begin to fall,
the creatures of darkness

will be released from
the Forbidding, one by one.

This is Allanon.

The last Druid of Paranor.

You are a Shannara,
Will. Never forget that.

When you learn how to unlock
the power of the Elfstones,

the Demons won't stand a chance.

The world outside
is dangerous, Wil.

It's full of Gnomes,
Trolls and Rovers.

I know how it feels to be
trapped by your own life.

I didn't exactly choose
to be a Rover.

You need to start trusting
the Ellcrys,

otherwise the three of you
will not make it to Safehold.

Don't touch me!

Something happen
when people touch you?

He's a seer.

Your power may be growing,

but be careful how you use it.

Only a king knows
the weight of a crown.

And if we die tonight,

let us fall so the Ellcrys
may rise again!

All hail king Ander!

I love you, Wil Ohmsford.

I love you, too.
I always have.

We all have a sacrifice to make.

This is mine.

Amberle, wait!

You made me believe
she could be saved.

Instead, I lost another
person that I loved.

I told you that magic
comes with a price.

You didn't say
it was Amberle's life.

Don't you get it?
We all have a part to play.

Go!

I promised Eretria I'd go
back and find her.

I'm not gonna lose her too.

It's you.

Welcome back, Eretria.

I've been waiting a very
long time for you.

Forgive the disguise.

Helps us blend in with
the real trolls.

I thought you were
dead, Cogline.

I spent 20 years wondering
what became of you.

Now I see you here, alive.

I promised your mother that
I would always protect you.

But I knew that your destiny
would bring you back to me.

Join us. Make a home here.

My friends are gonna come
looking for me.

Well, stay until they do.

Choice is yours.

Were you following me?

I thought you might get lonely
down here all by yourself.

Check this out.

The old man doesn't want us

risking our life for this stuff.

He'd freak out if anything
happened to you.

I can take care
of myself, Lyria.

That's not the point.

Wherever you go,
I go. Remember?

- Looks like we're late.
- Let's go.

What took you so long?

What'd ya find?

This one's for Cogline.

Oh, sweet!

Here.

Trolls!

Get everyone out of here. Go!

What took you so long?

Eretria...

A new darkness is coming.

You must find Wil.

The fate of the world
depends on it.

Welcome back.

- How did I...
- Survive?

I have no idea.

But when I found you

all you kept saying
was "Amberle."

Whoa, whoa, whoa. No.
You shouldn't be out of bed.

I need to see Cogline.

Up to your old Druid tricks?

This isn't magic, it's science.

I know. It's electricity.

Oh. You're full of surprises.

I'm glad you're
feeling better. Hm.

Lyria told me what
happened today,

it's a miracle you didn't drown.

I would have,
if it wasn't for Amberle.

I know. I know it sounds
crazy, but she was down there.

I saw her.

When a person is drowning,

their brain loses oxygen

causing their mind to play
all sorts of tricks.

No. But this was real.

She reached out to me,
and she said Wil needs me.

Maybe deep down that's
what you want to believe.

Your way of dealing
with the fact

that he never came looking
for you.

Eretria, you must let go
of your old life.

Wherever Wil and Amberle are,
I'm sure they're safe.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

No doubt they're in Arborlon,
living happily ever after.

Looks like you're next.

You're not a gnome.

Clearly nothing wrong
with your eyes.

I just thought all
Stor Healers were gnomes.

They made an exception.

What makes you so special?

Nothing.

Says here you b*rned yourself.

Yeah.

I wish it came with
a better story,

but the truth is I tripped
and fell into my own campfire.

The good news is, you'll live.

Apply this twice a day.

It should minimize the scarring.

Hey.

You look really familiar.
What was your name?

Uh...

Around here,
I'm just another Healer.

It's been a year since
the demon att*ck.

We need to get these people
back to their homes and farms.

The Elven treasury is empty.

We don't have the resources
or manpower

to rebuild their villages.

Any word on help from
the other races?

They're still waiting for
approval from their counsels.

Most of them would rather see

the elves choked off than help.

King Ander! Thanks for coming.

There's something you
need to see.

The Crimson did this?

I warned you that their
influence is growing.

We need to find Riga

and put him on trial
for these crimes.

General may be
the head of the snake,

but he's only voicing
what many people are feeling.

General Riga and his men
are on the rampage.

k*lling anyone who refuses
to report a magic user.

Giving the people an enemy

and turning them away from you.

He's rewarding hate.

When the Warlock Lord's blade
called, you answered.

So that together,

we can take the first step
in resurrecting our master.

Today you will be reborn...
As Mord Wraiths.

Step forward.

You will lead your brothers

and you will bear the mark
of the snake.

Yes.

Behold.

The heart of our dark master.

Allanon.

I sensed you tracking me
for months now.

But it's too late.

Resurrecting the Warlock Lord
is madness.

But, sacrificing me
to the Dagda Mor?

Oh, that was
perfectly acceptable.

I regret what happened to you
and my part in it.

But I was trying to save
the Ellcrys.

Is that what you told Amberle
when she sacrificed her life?

Or Wil?

You turned Catania against me.

You brought that upon yourself.

You allowed yourself to be
manipulated by the Dagda Mor.

And now that sword
is controlling you.

It's guiding me, Allanon,
to my true potential.

I'm gonna learn from the Druid

who understood
the true power of magic.

Power is a curse
for those who seek it.

You're gonna die forgotten
and alone, Allanon.

And the world won't even care.

That is my burden to bear,
not yours.

Your master needs you. Now!

Drink!

You know who I am?

General Riga.

That's right

and I'm on the hunt
for magic users.

You won't find any in there.
I'm just a simple farmer.

I'm looking for someone.

His name is Wil Ohmsford.

He's a Shannara.

One of those responsible

for unleashing the Dagda Mor
and his demon army.

No.
I never heard of Wil Ohmsford.

But...

There's a Flick Ohmsford
down in Shady Vale.

Good.

A gift from the Crimson.

Send them safely on their way.

Dispatch a unit to Shady Vale.
Find this Flick Ohmsford.

And what if the locals
don't co-operate?

Well, then you burn
the village to the ground

until you they do.

Now, as you all know,

Elven anatomy differs
from other races.

Their hearts are no exception.

Can someone please tell me

where I should make
the next incision?

Across the wall
of the right inferior atrium.

Correct, Mr. Ohmsford.

Please, take over.

Mr. Ohmsford.

Step outside. Now.

Mr. Ohmsford...

Your compassion for the patients

and dedication to your studies
are impressive.

Why do I sense there's
a "but" coming?

Takes more than that to be
a good healer.

I don't think
this is your calling.

Slanter went out on a limb
to get me in here.

Why do you dedicate
yourself to medicine

when you possess
a far greater gift?

Because magic has a price.

A price that's too high.

At least for me.

You saved the world.

As much as we help,
a Stor can never do that.

I'm not interested in saving
the world anymore.

Just the people
that I care about.

Please give me one more chance.

One more, but that's it,
Mr. Ohmsford.

You should know.

It wasn't Slanter who secured
your position here.

It was Allanon.

The skull of the Warlock Lord.

The blade has told me
who will know.

Find the Shannara.

I'm lost without you.

Ouch.

Okay. Good talk.

Cogline said I need to let go
of my old life.

I thought you already had?

I guess, not talking about it
is different from letting go.

We agreed.

All that's important is who
we are now.

Whatever we were before
doesn't matter.

What does matter is that
the only time I feel real,

is when I'm with you.

Now you tell me something.

Who's Amberle?

She's probably the bravest
person I've ever met.

Were you two ever together?

No. Not like that.

But I feel this connection
to her that I can't explain.

And Wil?

How does he fit
into the picture?

You talk in your sleep,
so I kinda pieced it together.

Wil.

Wil was the first person
to ever look at me

and see someone good.


I never thought I could
be anything more than a Rover,

but he knew it all along.

Are you still in love with him?

His heart was always Amberle's.

You didn't answer the question.

No.

Not anymore.

I met a new person.

She's kind of mysterious...

Doesn't really like talking
about herself.

But I'm hoping she'll
open up to me.

What's wrong?

There's something
that I need to tell you.

I should have told you before,
it's about Cogline.

He's been lying to you.

A week after you got here,

Cogline called in
all the scouts.

Said some people
would be looking for you.

Dangerous people.

We had to prevent them
from ever finding you.

Couple months later,
I saw the scouts in his lab.

They said the Eretria problem

had been taken care of

and gave him something as proof.

After that,
all the patrols stopped.

Do you know
what the scouts gave him?

I have no idea.

But he's a pack rat

so I'm sure it's somewhere
in his lab.

Then tonight we're finding it.

I'm not looking for company.

Sorry.

You know, gotta be honest, Wil.

This whole brooding,
tortured loner routine

isn't really working for you.

I'm surprised that the guy
who helped save

the Four Lands from demons

doesn't have people lining up
to buy him rounds.

Or, uh, collect the bounty
on his head.

You're full of surprises.

Not the first time a woman has
tried to take advantage of me.

You come into the clinic
with a story

about how you b*rned yourself.

Then I spot you sitting
across the bar

eyeing me for the last hour.

See, if I s*ab an Elf right here

above the abdomen
and twist the blade,

you'll bleed out
in less than a minute.

That's really fascinating,

but I think you're gonna need
my help getting away

from the real bounty hunters
sitting two tables down.

That man and that woman.

They had a third guy outside
ready to bag you,

but I slit his throat before
I came in.

Which is how I got this card.

Someone just sobered
up real fast.

I hope you know
how to use that Kn*fe.

Why are you helping me?

I'll explain after we
get out of here.

You just picked me up,

we're drunk and you're
taking me back to your place.

Try and keep up. Come on.

Excuse me.

I'm about to get lucky here.

So are we.

We can do this the easy way,
or the hard way.

Hard way works for me.

You seriously had no idea you
were being hunted?

I had heard rumors about some
extremist elves

going after magic users,

but Storlock is a neutral zone.

Might want to tell that
to the Crimson.

Here. Let me help you.

Thanks for your help.

I didn't do it for thanks.

I plan on collecting that favor.

Look, I'm no healer
but that thing needs stitches.

I'm gonna go get one
of your Stor friends.

Ah!

I was drunk and in a bar fight.

I'm already
on thin ice around here.

They'd kick me out.

So you're gonna stay here
and bleed out? Great plan.

Hand me my jacket.

Enjoy the show.

How did this guy ever
save the world?

Cogline won't be long.

Dinner is almost over.

Look at all this stuff.

Go check his desk.

Hurry up.

Can I help you?

Wil did come looking for me,
didn't he?

This is his pendant.

Lyria, I need to speak
with Eretria alone.

Knew I should've thrown
that damn thing away.

He searched for months,

but I prevented him
from finding you.

Why? Why would you do that?

Because he's a Shannara.

When they come knocking,

that means people
are gonna get hurt,

- maybe die.
- So you lied!

I was trying to protect you.

I don't need protection.

I want the truth, for once.

I promised your mother that
I would guard you

with my life.

And for 20 years,
I thought I failed her.

I couldn't live with myself.

I didn't want to lose you again.

I know you loved her,

but that wasn't your
choice to make.

Don't go.

Please ignore the vision
of Amberle, I beg you.

You know I can't do that.

Eretria.

Sometimes the truth
doesn't set you free.

It brings you more pain.

That'll be for me to discover.

What happened?

A human village was att*cked.

We're setting up
triage stations.

It's gonna be a long night.

Which village?

Shady Vale.

Shady...

Uncle Flick!

Uncle Flick!

Wil!

Wil Ohmsford, is that you?

Dax. Hey.

The Crimson,
they were looking for you.

You can't stay here.

What about my uncle?

I told Flick to hide.

I hope they didn't find him.

Let's get him to surgery.

You sure about this, Eretria?

We're in Rover territory.

We've got to keep moving.

It's a long way to Arborlon.

Stay close.

Lyria!

Bad move if you wanna live.

Shannara.

Hey.

I'm right here.

Hey, that's not gonna buy us
much time.

We have to hurry before
that thing comes back.

Wait.

You have magic?

Not much gets by you.

Let's go.

Not until you tell me
what you want.

The Druid.

Allanon.

I need your help to find him.

Why?

Because he's my father.
