While discussing the plans, he was interrupted by [[Torgny the Lawspeaker]] and the ''[[skald]]'' [[Thorvald Hjaltason]]. When Torgny called for a private meeting, Eric dismissed his council while he talked about the [[Templars]] using Styrbjörn as a means to expand their reach. After Thorvald explained his plan for a small legion to attack and delay Styrbjörn's march covertly, Eric agreed and had Torgny help him convince the council of their plans.<ref name="CH10"/>

	~~After Kleio failed to show up for morning prayer~~, ~~Erinna went out to look for her~~ in [[~~Bellerophron's Garden~~]]. ~~There she met one of~~ their ~~clients~~, ~~who told her that he had seen Kleio earlier~~, ~~with~~ [[~~Piracy~~\|~~pirates~~]] ~~kidnapping her and taking her aboard their ship~~. ~~Following this~~, ~~Erinna met Kassandra~~ and ~~welcomed her help.

Not wanting to know their methods, Eric gave the Hidden Ones his permission to enact their plan. Before Thorvald left, Torgny tasked him to assassinate Styrbjörn and retrieve the [[Trident of Eden\|dagger]] he held. Upon Thorvald's return, he and Torngy went to meet with Eric, but were stopped by the king's pet [[bear]], [[Astrid]]. After calling Astrid off, Eric heard about Styrbjörn still being alive and Thorvald's acquisition of the dagger. With it, they all planned to boost the army's morale in a ceremony where the dagger was to be used as a gift to [[Odin]].<ref name="CH21">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter Twenty-One</ref>
