Fare Thee Well, My Ravens was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Basim Ibn Ishaq in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.[1]
Description[edit | edit source]
Eivor began to leave Ravensthorpe, but not before having a final goodbye from Valka.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Eivor made her way back to Ravensthorpe's Barracks near the docks she had first arrived at years ago. That night, she began quietly preparing for her departure by loading a boat with supplies. Valka walked towards her.
- Valka: Will you not wait for morning?
Eivor grabbed her final pack and threw it into the boat but remained on the dock.
- Eivor: I must get to Lunden by the week's end. A crew awaits me there.
- Valka: Not even a goodbye?
- Eivor: Everyone knows I am leaving.
- Valka: But not when. Does Randvi know tonight is the night?
Eivor's shoulders dropped and she hung her head in sadness.
- Eivor: Yes. We said our goodbyes.
Valka sighed.
- Valka: I wish I understood all this, Eivor.
Eivor turned from the waters to face her seer a last time.
- Eivor: Do you remember my first visions? Before we came to England... Odin and Sigurd, the wolf, the Nornir?
- Valka: Yes. They prophesized so much that came to pass.
- Eivor: They were not prophecies, Valka. They were memories. My own. Or, not my own. But lent to me by another. One who lives within me. My second hugr. Do you understand?
- Valka: I... I wish I did.
- Eivor: For so long, I considered only two possible futures for me. Surrender to these malicious memories, or reject them utterly. But now I see a third way. And as I grow older, it draws my interest. I want to learn from them. But I do not know where this path will lead me. Nor what it might unleash. This is why, for now, I wish to be alone.
Valka clasped her hands to her chest.
- Valka: I see. Thank you for your trust, Eivor.
- Eivor: Embrace me, friend.
Eivor and Valka hugged each other one last time as Eivor soon sculled away.
- Valka: Farewell, Eivor Wolf-Kissed. May Odin guide your way.
Eivor responded aloud, then spoke quietly to herself.
- Eivor: Not this time, Valka. This time, I will be guiding him.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Eivor said goodbye to Valka and Ravensthorpe.
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Even if this memory is played with the male Eivor avatar, when the perspective shifts back to Basim viewing the memory, the sculling male Eivor will be replaced with female Eivor, while the male Eivor—personified by Odin's reincarnated memories—will be sitting at the nose of the boat.
