A Cruel Destiny was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Eivor and Sigurd confronted Kjotve the Cruel at his own stronghold.
Dialogue
Eivor began having a nightmare as she slept
- Valka: The Nornir have spoken...You will betray Sigurd.
- Eivor: No, this is wrong. That cannot be right!
- Sigurd: (scream)
- Eivor: Odin fought against his fate. It can be done.
- Valka: You will betray Sigurd.
Eivor awoke from her nightmare and went outside, to find one of Kjotve's spies
- Eivor: Shit...Kjotve's soldiers
Eivor killed the spy before he could do any damage.
- Eivor: This one would not have come alone. I should find the others.
Eivor found the spy's camp, along with two others.
- Norse Warrior 1: I have a feeling...just the three of us...we should return to Nottfall with our report. While we can.
- Norse Warrior 2: We can bring Kjotve news of the longships, or we can wake him with Sigurd Styrbjornsson's head. Which is better?
- Norse Warrior 1: All right! When Ljot returns, we weigh our next move. But I am not one for sticking around, hear me?
- Norse Warrior 2: Quit bawling, you babe. They may be drunk, but they're not deaf.
Eivor killed the remaining spies and told Sigurd about it.
- Sigurd: With each day we wait, Kjotve grows stronger.
- Styrbjorn: I speak as your king, Sigurd. Not your father. Heed my warnings or be off!
- Styrbjorn: We do not have the men to storm Kjotve's fortress. The losses would ruin us!
- Sigurd: The losses have ruined us, Father! Until we cut off this serpent's head, it will poison us, day by day, drop by drop!
- Eivor: The poison has already polluted our waters.
- Styrbjorn: Gods, Eivor, what happened?
- Eivor: Spies in our camp. Three men, sent by Kjotve to kill us as we slept. I returned the favor.
- Sigurd: There you see? This is what waiting brings. We must answer this insult!
- Eivor: They came from Nottfall, that whaling village under Kjotve's control.
- Sigurd: We hit him there. Burn it down, before Kjotve learns his spies are dead.
- Eivor: He may have sent more. I can search the village while you round up the crew.
- Basim: No need. I will send Hytham to search the area. You can rely on him while we are away.
- Eivor: We? Do you mean to you join us?
Basim sends Hytham away
- Basim: I have not been bred for Valhalla like you, but this will be far from my first battle.
- Styrbjorn: I do not like this, but I will not stop you.
- Styrbjorn: Do not lead my son into the same storm that follows you.
Outcome
Eivor defeated and killed Kjotve in duel combat and stormed his fortress. Kjotve's son Gorm fled before Eivor was able to eliminate him.
