Children of the Wyrm
The final chapter of Vol 1. Our season one finale and, at least for now, our last episode.
Kit and Elora have made it to Airk but find him under the influence of the crone. The crone tries to turn Kit as well but Madmartigan ( voiced by Jack Kilmer) reminds her of the truth. Elora is nearly lost but Willow arrives in time to save her.
Kit, Jade and Boorman face off against the Gales while Graydon tries to take on the crone. Unfortunately he isn't quite powerful enough and Graydon is lost.
Elora unlocks her full power and is able to defeat the crone but not before she passes her power to Airk in the most disturbing kiss ever.
Boorman has given the cuirass to Kit and the lux to Jade while he faces the Gales alone. With the cuirass activated Kit takes her place as Elora's champion and fights her possessed brother. She is able to overpower him and with Willow's help, bring him back to the light.
With the Crone and the Gales defeated, our heroes mourn Graydon's sacrifice and begin the journey home to prepare for the war to come.
In the final scene we see that Graydon isn't, but he is the realm of the Wyrm. Disguised as Elora, the Wyrm offers Graydon a place at her side.
It's an action filled episode with a bitter sweet ending. There are, as always, several moments that are hilarious but drama drives this episode. There are more questions than answers and was clearly never meant to be the end of the story.
This speech Willow gives Elora is my favorite of the series and Warwick Davis performed it beautifully. I've come back to these words many times this year when things have been bad for me. They've helped me keep going when I felt like giving up. I hope that soon this series will return and it can give more people the kind of hope and joy it has given me when they need it.
