Eadgyth, the Anglo-Saxon girl, hides a dark past of assault and now lives alone in the woods.

Rhys roams the land and is drawn to Eadgyth's haunting melody.

In the thick of the forest, Eadgyth springs a trap on Rhys, pinning him down with his own staff. He kicks her off but she whips out a knife.

Rhys throws his staff on the ground and kicks it to her as he raises his hands in surrender. They do not speak the same tongue but his gesture is clear.
