The River is the fourth episode of SEE. It was the first episode broadcast on a weekly schedule.
Synopsis
When the army of Tamacti Jun bear down on New Alkenny, its inhabitants must decide whether to leave or be captured by Queen Kane's agent. Most decide to flee, despite a difficult journey.
Plot
As Tamacti Jun’s army approaches, Souter Bax suggests that the Alkenny tribe hand over Maghra and her children in order to spare the lives of everyone else. After a tense standoff, our pilgrims — Baba Voss, Maghra, Kofun, Haniwa, and Paris, along with Matal, Arca, and Bow Lion — flee.
Baba Voss reveals that he built a boat identical to Jerlamarel’s toy gift. They sail downstream undetected until Tamacti Jun hears them and unleashes killing ropes. Matal and Arca are killed before the pilgrims manage to escape. Back in Payan, Queen Kane’s courtiers believe that sending the army back into the world was a mistake and plot to kill her using a black widow spider.
However, she learns of the betrayal and murders her entire Parliament before shutting off the power to the dam. Jerlamarel did not come to her, so she is coming to him. On the boat, our pilgrims read a letter from Jerlamarel that instructs them to follow the river to the Lavender Road, which will then lead them to the House of Enlightenment.
The group is divided.
Maghra and Baba Voss want to abandon the quest and start a new life together, but the rest of the group votes to continue onward. In the night, their camp is raided by a hooded figure who steals a small pouch from Maghra. She refuses to reveal the pouch’s contents but insists that it is something from her father that they must retrieve immediately.
