Dialogue
Eivor made their way to the Viking forward camp.
- Anglo-Saxon Man: Let me go, heathens! Have you not taken enough from us already?
- Norse Warrior: Shut your hole, shit-stain.
- Eivor: Those men must have heard the horn's call. The people of East Anglia have more courage than I imagined. That horn came from Elmenham. Valdis must have got to them.
Eivor arrived at the camp.
- Eivor: The brothers' fleet, gathered and ready.
- Finnr: Eivor! Word of your actions at [unclear] has spread like wildfire!
Eivor approached Finnr on the edge of a cliff and spoke to him.
- Finnr: Men pouring in from across East Anglia. And our ships stand ready.
- Eivor: Theotford's reeve is with us. His men will be here soon.
- Finnr: More than his. The King's Bury horn has inspired men all across the kingdom. We will have the army we need. It seems Oswald got what he wanted in the end. Saxon and Dane, united in common cause.
- Eivor: A pity he's not here to see it.
- Finnr: The forces will be ready soon. Are you ready to start the assault?
- Eivor: [TBA.]
- Finnr: Our target is Burgh Castle, said to be impenetrable.
Finnr and Eivor turned away from the cliff edge and walked to a map hanging on a fallen fort wall.
- Eivor: Good. Let them have their false confidence.
- Finnr: By cover of night, Valdis will lead the fyrd at the front gates. With Rued's men distracted, our forces move on the sea gate from the black waters at their backs.
- Eivor: And once we're in, we'll leave no gate closed in that castle. Rued's men cannot be allowed to dig in further. Your longship. Is she ready?
- Finnr: She awaits her own special glory.
Eivor turned to face Finnr's men gathered behind them.
- Finnr: They need your words, Eivor.
Eivor approached Finnr's troops.
- Eivor: TBA.
Eivor approached Finnr's troops.
- Eivor: For a long time you lived in fear. Your houses razed, your fields scorched. Now your chance has come. Fight to be free of this pain. Fight to be free of fear.
- Anglo-Saxon Man 1: Freedom!
- Anglo-Saxon Man 2: Freedom!
- Eivor: Now is the time. Today, we rid East Anglia of Rued's clan, once and for all.
Eivor approached Finnr's troops.
- Eivor: [TBA.]
Finnr's men cheered. Finnr approached Eivor and nodded his head approvingly before following his troops. A montage followed, showing the Vikings preparing for a raid. The scene cut to Eivor and Finnr leading a flotilla in stormy waters to the castle.
- Finnr: You remember the dream I spoke of?
- Eivor: You sailed through Helheim on a ship of fire.
- Finnr: Here, it may come to pass.
- Eivor: Dreams. Life. It may be they are one and the same.
A horn sounded as the longboats sailed closer to Burgh Castle.
- Eivor: Tonight I ride the flaming sea-steed, rushing for the spear-din. A watcher alight on water's wake, another glory I will keep.
Eivor spoke to the crew.
- Eivor: Ready yourselves! Rued's shit-stains will see us coming!
Another horn sounded.
- Finnr: We've been spotted.
- Eivor: Steady! Hold course!
- Finnr: Ready yourself to brace, men! We bring Helheim to our enemies!
A volley of fire arrows lit the night sky.
- Finnr: How nice, they greet us with some of their own from the air! Arrows!
- Norse Warrior: Brace!
- Finnr: Odin's hand! May his sword-maidens take them swiftly.
More volleys of fire arrows were loosed at the ships.
- Norse Warrior: Close one, that was!
- Finnr: Keep your shield arms limber! Harden yourselves, men!
- Eivor: Steady your hands! Hold for impact! Hold!
Eivor ran across the deck.
- Eivor: Now!
Eivor dove underwater as the longboat's momentum carried it up the beachhead to ram into the castle wall, causing an explosion and breaching the defenses.
- Eivor: Forward! Get that ram in place! We need to open these gates!
- Norse Warrior 3: Charge!
- Norse Warrior 4: For Oswald!
Eivor entered the fort, where the Norse sought to drive back the Anglo-Saxons.
- Finnr: Put that glorious ram to use! Rued's dogs are all bark! Prepare to cut them down!
- Brothir: This is for Oswald! Come and die on my blade!
The Norse brought a ram and broke through the first palisade shipyard gate to enter the next section, where there were reinforcements. Eivor spotted the second metal gate.
- Eivor: The ram could push through.
The Norse approached the gate and commenced ramming it, to no visible signs of success, until the ram was bombarded by fire arrows and began burning. Eivor climbed the doorway and cleared the ramparts of defenders.
- Eivor: I could break the gate from behind.
The defenders cleared, the Norse rallied and broke through the second gate.
- Eivor: Get the ram to the gate and push! And keep pushing! East Anglia depends on it! The fyrd has broken through. These merchants and farmers can fight.
Eivor ran through the castle grounds and came to the third section.
- Eivor: I need help with this gate!
The Norse breached the final gate and swarmed into the castle courtyard. Killing a soldier with their Hidden Blade, Eivor looked up and saw Oswald held hostage on a rampart with a knife to his throat.
- Eivor: Oswald... He lives.
Eivor turned to the Norse behind them.
- Eivor: Oswald lives!
- Oswald: Eivor, is that you?
- Rued: Shut your arse, twig-spine!
- Eivor: Stand fast! This will be over soon.
- Oswald: Worry not for me! You must stop—
- Rued: Silence, fool!
Rued punched Oswald in the face and grabbed his throat.
- Rued: So this is what it comes to, Wolf-Kissed? Two Danes fighting over a filthy Saxon whoreson? If this swine is your prize, come and get him!
Rued's men attacked Eivor and the Norse as Valdis arrived with reinforcements.
- Eivor: Valdis, well met!
- Valdis: Onward everyone! Onward!
Rued's men and the Slayer leading them were defeated. Eivor climbed a wall and saw a caged Oswald in tight discussion with Rued.
- Oswald: The people of East Anglia have spoken, Rued. Give yourself over.
- Rued: [TBA].
On seeing Eivor, Rued set his pet wolf on them and attacked with his longsword.
- Rued: The Saxon-lover comes to fight!
- Eivor: A miserable clan you lead, Rued.
- Rued: Yes, and one that has bled this country dry for two summers!
- Eivor: Flee Rued, while pity restrains my blade.
- Rued: Not 'til I have taken all these shores have to offer.
- Oswald: You are finished here, Rued!
- Eivor: Your battle is not yet won, Oswald.
Eivor addressed Rued.
- Eivor: East Anglia will have its king, and it will not be you!
- Rued: That groveling worm in a cage? You must be blind to stand with such a man.
Eivor and Rued found themselves in a blade lock.
- Rued: They should be ruled, Wolf-Kissed! Made thralls, (slaves), not treated as equals. We are better than this! Than all of them!
- Eivor: Do not drag me down to the sewage you wallow in. For all your efforts, only the cold dark of Niflheim awaits you.
- Rued: Valhalla is my destiny. But that fate will not be met today.
Eivor defeated Rued, who plunged his sword in the ground and knelt down, head bowed in submission. Oswald was freed from his cage.
- Rued: You'd throw in with these wastrels, these argr (cowardly) swine? For what, a scrap of land and a promise of peace?
- Eivor: [TBA.]
Eivor moved to kill Rued.
- Oswald: Eivor! No! He should be tried before God. A lawful assembly.
Rued laughed contemptuously.
- Oswald: I won't have my reign begin with more blood spilt than is needed.
- Eivor: [TBA.]
- Eivor: The rightful King of East Anglia has spared your life today. And so it will be.
- Oswald: Compassion is a virtue suited for anyone, Eivor. Including you. Thank you.
The Norse and Anglo-Saxons cleared out Rued's forces as they took control of the castle.
- Eivor: I should speak with Oswald... see if he is well.
- Norse Soldier 5: Rued's finished.
- Norse Soldier 6: To the ship.
- Norse Soldier 7: Praise the All-Father. Oswald lives!
- Anglo-Saxon Soldier 3: You fight well, heathen.
- Norse Soldier 8: Not bad yourself, Saxon.
- Anglo-Saxon Soldier 4: We did it! I can't believe we did it!
- Anglo-Saxon Soldier 5: And Oswald yet lives! God is truly merciful!
Eivor approached Oswald on the battlements.
- Oswald: Thank you for heeding me, Eivor. I know the worth of such a gesture. All this is...is like a dream.
- Eivor: But you're not asleep.
Finnr and Valdis approached the pair.
- Finnr: Well fought, well fought! The both of you!
Oswald glanced at Valdis before speaking to Finnr.
- Oswald: You came as well, old friend?
- Finnr: If I had known you were still alive, I would have stayed in Northwic.
- Eivor: Look around you. A happy occasion. And a glorious victory.
Oswald spoke to Valdis.
- Oswald: And soon, something more grand to take place. Our wedding, my love...if you will still have me, that is.
- Valdis: And why would I not?
- Oswald: I fought poorly. I melted under the heat and anger of that brute. And I never—
- Valdis: Oswald, stop. You fought. With all your heart and soul. That is all you need ever do.
Valdis hugged Oswald.
- Oswald: Come, then. We have much to prepare for.
Oswald and Valdis took their leave.
- Finnr: A bride to wed and a kingdom to lead. What some men wouldn't give for such things.
- Eivor: Countless men have died for them. And you, Finnr? Are you jealous of such things?
- Finnr: Hardly. My heart is afire, but my body aches. I desire only...a long nap.
- Eivor: I saw a bale of hay back there.
- Finnr: Later, Eivor. For now, I must see to the wounded.
- Eivor: Then I will see you at the wedding.
- Finnr: Aye, of course, you will.
Finnr left to go rest.
- Eivor: I should return to Elmenham. Oswald's wedding will soon begin.
Outcome
Eivor successfully led an attack on Burgh Castle to free Oswald from Rued. After defeating Rued, they prepared for the imminent wedding between Oswald and his fiancée, Valdis.
