Ep 10. Ellcrys

In the season finale of The Shannara Chronicles, titled "Ellcrys," the stakes are higher than ever before. The magical tree known as Ellcrys is dying, which means the boundary between the Four Lands and the demon world is weakening. If the Ellcrys dies completely, the demons will overrun the Four Lands and destroy all life as we know it. It's up to Wil, Amberle, and Eretria to save the Faerie tree and stop the demon invasion.

While Eretria and Wil head into the demon-infested Bloodfire to retrieve a needed elven magic, Amberle and the mighty Commander Tilton cook up a plan to protect the dwindling Ellcrys seed. Their scheme hits several snags as neither Eretria nor Wil are where they are supposed to be. Meanwhile, the resident bad guy, Dagda Mor, unleashes his fearsome army of demons with the hope of crushing the Four Lands and paving the way for the dark, irredeemable world to come.

With the fate of the Four Lands resting on their shoulders, the three young heroes must face their darkest fears and confront unimaginable obstacles. For Wil, that means finally coming to grips with his father's legacy and accepting the powers he has so long denied. For Eretria, that means using her thief's intuition and street smarts to navigate the treacherous and confusing Bloodfire realm. For Amberle, that means making the ultimate sacrifice to protect the Ellcrys and safeguard her people from ruin.

As the battle wages on - and the demon hordes grow ever more numerous - the stakes get higher and higher. The Shannara Chronicles finale delivers plenty of pulse-pounding action, tear-jerking drama, and character-defining moments that will leave viewers breathless. The trio of heroes have to rely on each other more than ever before as they journey toward their fateful encounter with the dying Ellcrys. In the end, the question is who will survive the epic and deadly clash.

With everything on the line, The Shannara Chronicles ends its first season on a high note with "Ellcrys." The episode is beautifully shot, expertly choreographed, and will keep viewers on the edge of their seats for its entire duration. If you're a fan of fantasy and adventure, you won't want to miss this show or this season finale. The story ends on a cliffhanger, but after all the excitement that comes before, it's hard not to be pleased with the journey.
