I hoped the day would never come when I had to bid you farewell. You were always my strength, my guide. You taught me to go on, no matter what. You taught me not to be afraid. And now I see that, like me, the earth itself is unwilling to let you go. But the gods call you home. They eagerly await your arrival in Valhalla, as does my father. I wish I could be there at your reunion, secretly, in Odinās glittering, gold-shielded hall, surrounded by all the gods. You are already a legend. The greatest shieldmaiden of all time. A hero to thousands of women. But, to me, you will always be my mother, who bore me, who raised me, who protected and fought for me. And I swear, I will fight for you now! Farewell. I have loved you more than I have loved any other. Farewell, Lagertha. Farewell. I love you. I will miss you. I will avenge you.
