An Island of Eels was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Eivor met with Soma to confront Wigmund at the Isle of Ely Monastery.
Eivor found the clan near the monastery.
Eivor walked up to Soma.
The women left camp.
They entered the church grounds and Soma had some choice words as they continued their search.
They infiltrated the church and heard their target speak.
Eivor moved to assassinate Wigmund.
She was seen, prompting the guards to fight her.
She dropped down from the rafters, killing Wigmund instantly.
In the Memory Corridor, Eivor looked on as a fleeing Wigmund passed silhouettes of stationary soldiers.

Eivor started to walk towards Wigmund, who pointed at her and continued his flight. Eivor then "shoved" aside one of these soldiers and the shade disappeared.
Odin appeared and followed behind a walking Eivor, who kept making the soldiers' shades disappear.
She continued her pursuit, swiping away the unmoving shades in her way.
Wigmund reached the end of the army of shades, beyond which lay the gates of Grantebridge. He stopped and stared at the set of massive wooden doors, then briefly turned back to Eivor.
Wigmund resumed his march towards the doors.
Wigmund finally reached the doors and turned around to face Eivor and Odin.
Seeing that Eivor and Odin would not stop pursuing him, Wigmund backed into the doors and began panicking.

Eivor smirked as Odin shook his head in pity.
Eivor reached forward, grabbing Wigmund's Order medallion, and his spirit immediately turned to mist. Eivor remained standing at the gates for a moment as Odin walked away.
With Wigmund dead, Soma and Eivor planned to return to camp.
The guards attacked upon seeing Wigmund killed, and Eivor blew her horn to have her crew join in raiding the monastery.
Before leaving the church, Eivor spotted a note on a desk against the wall on the left side of the altar.

Eivor and Soma left and returned to camp, where they found Soma's forces celebrating in victory. Later, Eivor and Soma watched as her clan resupplied the longships.
Soma withdrew an arm bracelet.

Eivor walked to the shore, silently nodded and shook Lif's hand, then made her way to where Birna stood by another longship.
Birna turned to briefly watch Soma talk to Lif before facing Eivor again.
Birna threw out her arms and turned on the spot.

Eivor chuckled.
Eivor stepped forward and shook Birna's hand.
Eivor smiled as Birna ran off to gather her things.
Eivor and Soma left and returned to camp, where they found Soma's forces slaughtered in a hail of arrows and Galinn holding a struggling Lif hostage with an axe to his throat.
Eivor silently nodded, and Soma dipped her head in agreement. She placed the axe across Galinn's chest and positioned his to hold its handle as he died, granting his wish to enter Valhalla.
Eivor silently shook her head, and Soma nodded in agreement. Both women stood and Galinn stared at the sky, accepting his fate, before Soma brought the axe down into his chest. She threw the axe away in disgust and looked at Eivor, who nodded.
In the silence, the women gazed about the slaughter and Soma spat on the ground, before they saw Lif weakly rise his head and rushed to his side. Surprised, Soma kelt at Lif's side.
Lif winked at his own joke. Soma looked him over, assessing his injuries.
A short time later, Eivor and Soma stood on the swamp banks and watched as Lif was carried off in a stretcher and the ships were resupplied by what few forces remained.
Eivor put a hand on Soma's shoulder. Soma shook her head.
Soma turned away.
Soma faced Eivor again.
Soma pointedly stared at Eivor.
Soma walked a few paces away.
Eivor stepped forward.
Soma turned around.
Eivor followed Soma.
Soma nodded in understanding.
Both women clasped each others' forearms in a pledge.
