After seeing Jonathan, Orvar and the soldiers disappear, Crusty meets some people he recognises. It’s Sofia, Hubert and… Jossi! Sofia still doesn’t know that Jossi is the traitor! When Crusty reveals him, Jossi flees into the mountains. Then they set off for Wild Rose Valley again, because now the day has come – the Day of the fights. Many cries are heard in Wild Rose Valley that day, but one unlike any other. Katla has arrived – an ancient female dragon who can paralyse anyone with her fire and who only listens to Tengil’s battle horn.
The performance ‘The Day of Battle’ contains scenes and effects that can be scary, which is why we have chosen to set a minimum age recommendation of 9 years and over.
Perhaps it’s possible to climb up on the roof of the woodshed? There’s a good view from up there, but not as good as the birds that fly high above. Imagine if you could fly like a bird. But people can only fly in aeroplanes. Suddenly Madicken remembers what Abbe told her about the war and people jumping out of aeroplanes with only an umbrella. What if it’s possible to make a jump like that from the roof of the woodshed…
A violent fire breaks out in the brothers’ flat. Jonathan takes his brother on his back and jumps out of the second-floor window. He saves Crusty’s life but dies in the garden after the fall. Now Crusty is just waiting to see Jonathan again in Nangijala, that is if the Nangijala story wasn’t just one of those silly things Jonathan often made up? But one day, sitting on the windowsill is a snow-white dove. Behind the dove’s cooing, Crusty hears Jonathan’s voice telling him about Nangijala. So, it was true after all!
