Wings, Like Other Things, Are Impossible

Rhodri! Your dragon has arrived!

He was taken from me. By someone I trusted. A friend, a mentor. A man who I would trust with anything. But a man you trust with anything... can take anything. He took all I had. All I had.

Soma Jarlskona, who stood at Guthrum's right hand... She will live on in our memories.

Then I am done with dreaming!

You would resign yourself to an empty death? The ecstasy I feel here is an illusion. I'd sooner caw like a raven than sing a false song.

I wish you whatever peace you may find in this new life you have found. I did not find it, Eivor. I chose it...

Our Father, who art in Heaven. Our Mother, who art in Earth. Please− Please accept this offering. Take of me my flesh and bone and bless... bless...

The First Night of Samhain || Drunk Eivor and Tewdwr + Chickens

Aelfred's God is weak. Yet he would chain us all in His service. From our first breath to our death rattle.

It seems I have no choice. You never did.

Look, the moon! It moves untroubled now. But one day, it will be eaten by a giant wolf, and the nights will be black forevermore. I tasted glory once again! And it was good. I always felt like Sköll or Hati, chasing and trying to fulfill Halfdan's wishes. But now I've caught my Sun and Moon... I've got them and I... I don't know.

Now is the time. Today, we rid East Anglia of Rued's clan, once and for all.

Eivor Wolf-Kissed! I crossed the broad sea for you, Gorm. Are you not flattered?
