'''A Scourging of Snakes''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Layla Hassan]] through the [[Animus|Portable Animus HR-8.5]].

==Description==
Eivor met with {{Wiki|High King of Ireland|High King}} [[Flann Sinna]] to discuss their attack on [[scholar|Abbot]] [[Eogan mac Cartaigh]], the leader of the [[Children of Danu]].

==Dialogue==
Eivor arrived at the camp, south of [[Sleeve Gallion]], and met with Flann and [[Sichfrith]].
*'''Flann:''' ''Eivor, come in. Sichfrith tells me you've been hunting [[piracy|pirate]]s in the North?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Allies of [[Armagh]], providing weapons and other supplies. I've cut them off.''
*'''Flann:''' ''[[Christianity|God]] is truly with us! Eogan is weakened and will soon taste God's justice.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Do you have the men to take Armagh?''
*'''Flann:''' ''We do, thanks to Sichfrith. He has rallied [[Vikings]] from every corner of [[Ireland]].''
*'''Eivor:''' ''How did you convince the [[Norseman|Norse]] to fight for you?''
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''I told them of a monastery full of [[silver]] to be looted.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Your [[Bárid mac Ímair|father]] would not have made such a promise.''
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''And he would have not raised as many men.''
*'''Flann:''' ''We cannot win the goodwill of the people by destroying their homes. Or their church.''
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''But, my lord ... these men came expecting a raid, if we deny them that...''
*'''Eivor:''' ''If I may? I think in this case, some burning might be useful.''
*'''Flann:''' ''Tell me how.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''When we were attacked by [[Clogher]], Eogan didn't stop there. He burned [[Cashelore]] as well. To send a message. It is our turn to light up the land with fire and smoke to let the people know that Armagh has fallen.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Burn what you must, but keep your warriors leashed. Kill only those who oppose us, and spare the church.''
[[Ciara ingen Medba|Ciara]] walked into the conversation.
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''As you command, my king.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''There's something else. Abbot Eogan leads the Children of [[Danu]].''
*'''Flann:''' ''So ... the poisoning, the ambush ... they were all part of Eogan's nefarious schemes. We'll cleanse Armagh of this unholy filth. Sichfrith and I will prepare our men. Join me when you're ready.''
Flann looked to Ciara.
*'''Flann:''' ''Choose a good view, dear poet. It'll be a battle for the ages.''
Flann and Sichfrith left to prepare for battle.
[[File:ACV Ciara Flann Ready for Final Battle.jpg|thumb|250px|Flann asks Ciara to ready a poem for his final battle]]
*'''Ciara:''' ''Thank you for not saying anything about ... my past.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''The past is past and not our future.''
*'''Ciara:''' ''I swear, Eivor, you really are like a hero out of folk tales. Do I have permission to sing your song?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You do, once I've had a chance to finish it.''
Eivor left and spoke with Sichfrith.
*'''Eivor:''' ''It's good to see you take command. It suits you.''
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''It feels heavy and stiff like this new [[armor]]. I envy you, Eivor. When battle is done, you can move on to what you like.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I go where my destiny takes me, Sichfrith. None of us are free from that. There are worse fates than being a king.''
Eivor left Sichfrith and went to speak with Flann.
*'''Flann:''' ''Our forces are replenished, thank God's good grace.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Some part of those thanks should go to Sichfrith, lord.''
*'''Flann:''' ''Aye, I'll not forget his role today. He's a good man, but he lacks his father's seasoning.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Then you must show him what it is to lead, lord, in the court and on the field.''
Flann nodded.
*'''Flann:''' ''Come, let us flush out this false abbot without delay.''
(Yes. Begin the attack)
*'''Eivor:''' ''Yes, Eogan must answer for his actions.''
Eivor, Sichfrith, and Flann began their assault on Armagh.
*'''Eivor:''' ''There are few defenders than I expected.''
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''They cower behind their walls. Let's strike while we have the advantage!''
*'''Flann:''' ''We'll move forward, but remain alert. God will guide the right.''
The trio of warriors led the way.
*'''Flann:''' ''We have no other choice. Breach that gate!''
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''My Norsemen are ready! Smash them an opening!''
*'''Flann:''' ''The bridge is down! Onward and across!''
The bridge of Armagh came down.
*'''Irish [[Soldier]] 1:''' ''Leave the barbarian to me!''
*'''Irish Soldier 2:''' ''God will give me strength!''
Eivor and her company started to clear the first courtyard.
*'''Flann:''' ''If they don't plead mercy, kill them to a man! Take care! They have artillery! They attack from above! Clear the ramparts!''
Within the fight, Flann shouted out more.
*'''Flann:''' ''Unleash God's wrath on these sinners! These are soldiers, not farmers! Don't hold back!''
After clearing the first courtyard, Eivor noticed they were all pinned inside it.
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''We're trapped like [[rat]]s!
*'''Flann:''' ''We must raise that portcullis to go any further.''
Eivor raised the portcullis and began to burn the village within Armagh.
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''Cover Armagh in flames! Light up the sky for all to see! Torch the rooftops!''
All of the village was under fire.
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''Soldiers coming!''
Eivor and her group attacked and finished the guards at the inner gate.
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''They fall back!''
*'''Flann:''' ''Gather your breath, but remain at the ready!''
Eivor went to break open the inner gate.
*'''Eivor:''' ''King Flann! Are you near?''
*'''Irish Soldier 3:''' ''For [[Saint Patrick]]! They mustn't breach the gate.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''A trap. I knew it looked too easy.''
*'''Flann:''' ''We cannot advance until we clear the area!''
Eivor attacked the ambushers.
*'''Irish Soldier 4:''' ''For the Abbot of Armagh!''
After killing the rest of the soldiers, Eivor and Flann headed to the church. Inside, the door was shut tight.
*'''Flann:''' ''Eivor! I need help with the door!''
Flann and Eivor opened the door together, only to see Eogan guarded by two soldiers.
*'''Eogan:''' ''Leave this house of God, Flann Sinna, or be cursed with His wrath eternal!''
*'''Flann:''' ''You desecrate this holy place with foul corruption. You are a sickness to be purged.''
*'''Eogan:''' ''God will be my judge, not you. You act the Christian king, but let pagans and [[wolf|wolves]] do your dirty work.''
*'''Flann:''' ''Do not preach about playing both sides. I know you lead the Children of Danu.''
*'''Eogan:''' ''Do you? Then you should know you cannot win. My Children are everywhere. Even in your court.''
*'''Flann:''' ''Who do you mean?''
*'''Eogan:''' ''Ciara had the makings of a High Priestess, but she was careless. Dabbled with forces she could not control.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Don't listen, Flann. He tries to cloud your judgement.''
*'''Eogan:''' ''Small wonder why she charmed her way into your court. She's always been attracted to men of power.''
*'''Flann:''' ''You lie, devil!''
*'''Eogan:''' ''Ah ... "Love conceals blemish and evil." It's easy to lose sight when you're following a woman's backside.''
Flann unsheathed his [[sword]] in anger but Eivor halted him.
*'''Eivor:''' ''There is no shame in keeping your hands clean of this filth. Let me do your dirty work.''
Flann readied himself to fight.
*'''Flann:''' ''It's God work.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Protect your abbot!''
Eivor and Flann fought the abbot and his men.
*'''Flann:''' ''Take the guards! Leave Eogan to me!''
Eivor and Flann defeated the abbot, who was dying on the floor.
*'''Eogan:''' ''"You shall not let your [[cattle]] breed with a different kind ... You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed..."''
*'''Flann:''' ''Do not quote Scripture to me, devil. May your tongue burn for eternity while your throat is pierced with jagged glass.''
*'''Eogan:''' ''No ... you would rather have a song from your ... pagan poetess... If she didn't tell you ... about the Children of Danu ... what other secrets does she keep?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''He tries to poison your mind with his dying words, lord. Don't let them in.''
[[File:ACV Eogan Dying.jpg|thumb|250px|A defeated Eogan dying on the floor]]
Eogan looked at Flann one last time before dying on the floor.
*'''Flann:''' ''But could he speak truth?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''The best liars mix truth with lies. If she was part of that cult, she isn't anymore.''
*'''Flann:''' ''You are right, of course. This fetid air befouls my thoughts. Let us step out into God's cleansing light.''
Eivor and Flann stepped outside to their conquest.
*'''Eivor:''' ''It is a beautiful land.''
*'''Flann:''' ''We are a blessed people.''
Sichfrith ran into the conversation.
*'''Sichfrith:''' ''Word of our victory spread like fire in a dry field. I couldn't stop all the looting, my king, but I made certain the people were spared.''
