Tonight I watched a brand new episode of The Shannara Chronicles. S1 Ep7 "Breakline" After Wil, Eretria, and Amberle fall off the cliff, they get separated.
After awakening next to the Reaper's corpse and prying the Elfstones out
of his bloody left palm, Wil is attacked by a male elf from Owen Moor
named Perk, whose left ear was stolen by Elf Hunters who cut off and
sell the ears to gnomes. He wants to rescue his female partner Genewen
who was captured by them. The man who cut off his ear, Cormac, is left
behind to guard the camp as their female leader Zora pursues the
princess. Eretria and Amberle are subsequently chased by the same group
into an old hall that sunk underground during the great war. Meanwhile,
in Arborlon, the Changeling, in the guise of King Eventine, sends his
sons Ander and Arion on a seemingly futile mission to kill the Dagda
Mor.
Allanon is healed by his former master Bremen and returns to Earth.
While underground Amberle picks up three blue dice: an eight-sided die
and a pair of percentile dice.
They also notice a map which resembles Eretria's vision and she tells
Eretria it is Safehold. She and Eretria fight off some off the Elf
Hunters but are captured by Zora. Wil arrives, dangling from Genewen,
who turns out to be a flying Roc mounted by Perk, who is a Wing Rider.
On the way out Zora shoots Eretria and she falls. More of the Elf
Hunters arrive, preventing them from going back for her. The princes
arrive to face the Dagda Mor, discovering an imprisoned Bandon. Arion
attacks the evil Druid with the sword, but the Dagda Mor is prepared and
kills him. Allanon arrives on the scene just in time to save Ander and
free Bandon. Eretria is shown hauled off alongside a golf bag full of clubs and a white plastic lawn chair. Ander kills the Changeling with Allanon's collapsible sword, becoming King of the Elves.
This was probably my favorite episode to date.. I felt the story move along, we finally got some direction on where to find Safehold. We were introduced to new characters Perk and Genewen. Allanon is healed and got to help the Elf Princes since their father (who is a Changeling) sent them on a one way mission to their death. And in fact we lose the eldest son Arion leaving the youngest Ander to survive with the help of Allanon. They return and Ander has to kill his father (Changeling) and he is now the King of the Elves. I continue to like Eretria more and more. When I first met her in episode one I was not a fan but she has really fleshed out as a character and has become one of my favorites. There are only a few more episode left for this season and I can't wait to see where the story goes.
