Listen to a summary presented by KI- Mila

This episode of “Alenwen” is all about the “Day of Dance and Song” in the lively city of Bree. The famous travelling musicians called “Die Ziehmus” are in town, and Alenwen can hardly contain her joy. Right at the beginning of the episode, Alenwen begins to sing enthusiastically, and Skaldiv is reluctantly drawn into this bizarre musical performance. The first five minutes are almost like a musical, full of dancing and singing.

After this extraordinary performance, Alenwen has only one goal in mind: the stage in front of the “Pony” inn in Bree. Skaldiv tries to stop her, but Alenwen’s stubbornness prevails and they make their way to the “Pony”. There they come across a poster from the “Shire Messenger”, which spreads the news that Alenwen is soon to be married. This news initially leaves Alenwen stunned, but in the end she is indifferent to the rumours.

However, the musicians are the highlight of the evening for Alenwen, and she enjoys every minute of this event without paying attention to the time. The next day, Skaldiv urges her to leave Bree, but Alenwen is tired and would rather stay. A messenger stops her and hands Skaldiv a letter saying that the dodgy broker Joseph is in prison and needs help. Skaldiv shows no interest in helping him during his visit, as Joseph has been harassing women, and leaves the prison again.

Alenwen, on the other hand, takes pity and tries to talk to Skaldiv about why she doesn’t want to help. Skaldiv, however, remains firm and believes that Joseph deserves his punishment. On the way to the city gate, an incident occurs in which Alenwen accidentally bumps into a Beorninger named Storkoll. Storkoll is furious and reprimands Alenwen in an unpleasant way. She is so intimidated that she can’t get a word out. Skaldiv finally intervenes and chases Stokroll away, making it clear that he should leave quickly.

This encounter is hard on Alenwen and she is finally ready to leave the city quickly. However, she wants to write a letter first, and Skaldiv allows her to do so on the condition that she does it quickly. When they finally leave Bree, an eerie encounter awaits them, of which neither of them is aware. This episode of “Alenwen” is characterised by musical joy, unexpected twists and emotional ups and downs.
