The small print21m · It's Lucia Day, and Valde's family is in full swing with preparations for the parade when Hermansen comes rolling in with a monster machine that can clear the entire forest and cut down the Mother Tree before Christmas.

14. The biggest man in town21m · The quiet peace of the forest is disturbed by Hermansen's demonic tree traps. Valde and Tala are really busy finding the Guardian's seal and stopping Hermansen before he can cut down the Mother Tree. With Anker's help, they trick their way into Hermansen's home, but instead of answers, they find a whole new riddle.
15. People and creatures24m · Valde realizes that the story of the pact testifies to a trust between humans and creatures that has now been lost. Now the trust must and must be restored.
