A Seer's Solace was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Eivor visited the local seer for advice on her visions.
Eivor made her way to the Valka's Hut. Standing outside, she caught sight of a note at an altar before a wooden statue of Odin.
Eivor left the altar and entered the Seer's hut, interrupting a ritual.
Eivor noticed Valka's mother sitting in the corner.
The two made themselves comfortable.
Valka turned to her table and began mixing ingredients.
Valka raised a finger to emphasize her next point.
Valka finished the elixir and handed it to Eivor.
Eivor consumed the elixir and collapsed entering the land of her dreamscape. She awoke on Valka's floor.
Eivor exited the hut.
Eivor ascended the snowy mountain.
Eivor saw a wolf but it ran away as she approached it. Eivor on and saw the cloaked Odin and the Nornir weaving fate.
Eivor continued up the mountain, meeting a wolf guarding a doorway. She entered and heard Sigurd.
The snow storm cleared partially to reveal Sigurd was missing his right arm at the elbow.
Sigurd disappeared.
Sigurd reappeared in front of Eivor.
Eivor reached out to Sigurd only for him to be yanked backwards by an invisible force.
Eivor awoke just as a giant wolf approached from the mist.
("Odin and the Nornir were there.")
("The wolf beckoned.")
("Odin's Hall opened to me.")
Eivor left the hut with more questions than answers.
Eivor sought the advice of the seer Valka and learned that her visions meant she would eventually betray Sigurd.
