In [[Nyhofn]], Eivor heard a woman shouting about a missing man.
:'''Bloody Diary''':<br />''So ends the adventure of Eirik the Bold.<br /><br />Fled my post, now lost in these endless woods.<br /><br />Tumbled off a cliff. Broke me leg.<br /><br />Night comes and the [[Wolf|wolves]] howl. Won't be long.<br /><br />Whoever finds this, I beg thee, bear my corpse back to [[Nyhofn]] in the east, just along the coast.<br /><br />I only want--''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Has anyone seen a hunter? He is tall, his hair is like mine... and he uses a bow! He was last seen hunting near the woods to the west. He should be back by now.''
Some ways west of the settlement, Eivor found a [[short blade]] buried in the edge of a cliff. At the bottom of the cliff lay the body of a man. She went down to look closer.
*'''Eivor:''' ''A lonely end. Luck skipped his turn.''
Eivor read a nearby note.

*'''Eivor:''' ''Take you back to Nyhofn? A tall ask for a corpse.''
[[File:ACV A Dead Man's Tale 3.png|thumb|250px|Eivor carrying the man's body back to the camp]]
She picked up the dead man.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You have some weight on you.''
Nevertheless, she carried his body out of the ravine and back through the woods towards Nyhofn.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Almost there.''
Entering the settlement, the woman Eivor had heard shouting earlier spotted her.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Brother? Brother!''
As Eivor placed the body on the ground, the woman ran toward her, crying.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Brother...! You should have listened to me... You have always been too selfish, reckless! Even Mother said so!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Blame not the adventurer, for the pull of blood-song can tempt even the gods.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Wh-where do I go now, without you to guide me? Wh-what should I do? L-lost... I am l-lost...''

|-|Follow in your brother's footsteps.=

*'''Eivor:''' ''His path is in front of you, child. He would want you to follow it, to do what he can no longer do.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''H-his bow... I could teach myself how to use it... I could, couldn't I?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Remember your brother and all that he is. Bring home his tales and let his legacy be grown. That is all we are... words and song.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''I will hone my bow-craft, and he will smile upon me from above. He will be proud.''
Eivor nodded.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Th-thank you, for bringing him back. Thank you.''
She then spoke to her brother's remains.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''I'm going to be the best hunter ever, just like you, Brother. Wait and see, I will shoot that elk in the eye.''
|-|Move on.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Just like breathing, death is a constant. The sooner you learn and accept, the sooner you become stronger.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Wh-what are you saying...? You want me to forget my brother?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Not forget, child-''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''No! I don't care about your stories! Thank you for bringing my brother back, but please, go away!''
The woman waved Eivor away and Eivor took her leave.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Brother... O... what would Mother say... Brother... I miss you. Why did you leave us...!''
|-|Keep your brother in your memory.=

The woman picked up her brother's corpse and carried it to the small hunting camp nearby where a [[Breaking Teeth, Not Hearts|man]] sat singing. He stopped as she neared.
*'''Norse Man:''' ''Frey! Wh-wha? N-no... is that?''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''He is in the halls now.''
*'''Norse Man:''' ''I... I am sorry, Frey. He died by prey, but he will rest a hunter.''
The woman picked up a shovel and began to dig her brother's grave.

==Behind the scenes==
If players attempt to save and reload outside Nyhofn during this memory—perhaps to see all the responses to the dialogue choices—the brother's corpse will reload back in the pit he was found in. To see all three responses, players must carry the corpse back on each reload, thus it is best to make this save at the pit instead.
