I discovered Eivor's skeleton before taking a break from the Animus to explore the surrounding woods. After witnessing a falling satellite and finding an old invitation in a mailbox, I browsed Layla's personal photos for inspiration. Following a brief photography session of my own, I returned to the cabin to dive back into the past.

I got surprised to know it was actually the skeleton of Eivor buried right there in the America soil, thousands of miles from Norway. It was a haunting discovery that connected the ancient past to our current struggle in a way I didn't expect when I first discovered this remote location.

Before getting back into that shed to interact with Shaun and the rest of the team, I wanted to check around the immediate area. The air seemed cold, and the history of the land felt heavy beneath my feet.

I went back into the house, where I found Shaun and Rebecca busy monitoring the equipment. Rebecca said sorry about pulling Layla out of the Animus so abruptly because the generator was sputtering and losing power.

She mentioned she should need a second to stabilize the connection before I could safely jump back into the animus.

Rebecca then said the Animus was ready for me to jump back in, but I decided to check around the yard a bit more while I had the chance to breathe.

Right after getting outside, I noticed there was a satellite falling across the earth like a massive missile.

I decided to check if there was a way out of this isolated place.. I found this old mailbox with a mail of an invitation to a fair in Concord tucked inside.

I found a route that looked like it should take me out of this place. But as I tried, Layla mentioned we can't run away from this, so I had to come back. The invisible walls of our mission felt just as real as the wooden walls of the house.

After coming back to the house, I checked on this laptop where I found a folder named "My stuff". There were some cool photographs that Layla captured from around this place, and the images inspired me to go out and try some of my own photography before heading back into the past.

This time I tried some special filters along with some good angles for the photos shown above. I spent some time framing the trees and the cabin, trying to capture the beauty of this site. It was a brief moment of creative distraction that should help clear Layla's mind before the next long session in the simulation.

And look what I found while exploring the back of the property. A small toilet that had a hole of a heart shape on the door. I took a quick photo of it, finding a bit of humor in the small things that survived the passage of time.

I went back inside the house as I finally decided to jump back in the Animus and continue Eivor's story. Just before going back in, I found this floral plant that looked beautiful in the soft light of the cabin.

That's all for now.

Sigurd confirmed his choice to leave Fornburg despite the king's final warning, and the clan set sail for England. After the title sequence, Layla emerged from the Animus in a remote cabin. She experienced strange environmental tremors before being greeted by Shaun and visiting a mysterious grave that holds the key to their mission.

It was their king who risked a final confrontation as he approached the boats with King Harald's banner flying behind him. He asked Sigurd to stop and reconsider after hearing the plan to abandon their lands. But Sigurd confirmed his choice was already made.

Then I had to walk to the longship as everyone was waiting for me to board so we could depart. While I was walking on the docks, I looked at the home one last time through the photo mode. I could guess, once we leave this place, the life I had known in Fornburg would be gone forever.

After sitting on the longship, the warriors began to row and we started sailing away from the harbor. I was still looking at the home because I didn't know if I would ever get to check on it again in this lifetime.

While they were sailing for England through a long route, the crew members were having different conversations about their hopes and fears. The game showed its logo at last against the horizon, signaling the true beginning of our saga in the distant lands.

After the cinematic sequence ended, the person who was playing Eivor came out of the Animus and it was revealed to be a female character. I realized it was Layla, who I guess was introduced in Assassin's Creed Origins at first and has been the modern-day protagonist since then.

She and her team had held up in a proper house in a remote location to stay hidden from those who were hunting them.

After checking through the window at the landscape outside, she was about to drink some water to clear her head. Suddenly, she noticed some shaking around the room, which told her that the environmental stability was failing while she was staring at the ancient equipment.

So the lady went outside after putting her earbuds in. It looked like it was a quiet country site where they had held up to conduct their research in peace.

When Layla was wandering around the yard, there came Shaun, who was a friend of Desmond and a character from the beginning of the series. He came bringing some electrolytes for Layla as he mentioned. It's good to see a familiar face in such a lonely place.

Then Layla was shown checking on a lonely grave located a short distance from the house. She was talking to the grave while asking how they would fix the breaking world and how the person buried there was the key to everything.

She looked down at the dirt, knowing that the answers she needed were buried deep within the bones of the past. But who this could be? Eivor?

That's all for now.

After the meeting with King Harald, the Raven clan returned to Fornburg to plan their next move. Sigurd announced a voyage to England to claim a new kingdom, and Eivor chose to leave the spoils of war behind to maintain peace.

The Raven clan returned to Fornburg after their royal meeting with King Harald, feeling the weight of the political shift. I had to look for Sigurd across the snowy paths of Fornburg to see how he intended to handle his father's submission.

After knocking on the heavy wooden door of the great hall, one of our kin from inside asked me to stay quiet. He wanted to ensure the Norse warriors outside wouldn't know about our secret gathering inside the hall.

After getting inside, I looked for Sigurd among the gathering. The man himself appeared to give a powerful speech to his people, where he wished to leave Fornburg behind and sail to England.

He planned to start their own kingdom, as he felt their king had betrayed them by kneeling before King Harald and surrendering their independence.

Dag said he had no desire to wear Harald's leash, so he liked this idea of seeking a new life across the sea. It looked like most of these people liked the idea as well.

As Sigurd was saying they would not take any supplies to avoid problems for their king, Eivor spoke up. He mentioned that Kjotve's resources would go some way toward easing their long passage.

Eivor argued that since he bested the man in combat, it was within his rights to claim the goods as his own spoils.

Sigurd mentioned that taking the wealth could make their king pay a heavy price for their defiance. I got this option to either take the resources or leave the resources for the settlement. I decided to leave them for the king.

Then Sigurd asked his people to get ready and pack anything they would need for the long journey. The meeting ended and the warriors went out of the great hall to begin the massive task of loading the longships.

There was Valka, who told Eivor a new path was revealed and his journey would be very challenging. She mentioned she would not be joining them yet because of her mother's cause.

It was the next morning when I had to meet Sigurd at the dock for the final departure. The sun was just beginning to rise over the mountains.

I tried this rope slide to get to the docks faster from the high cliffs. I noticed Eivor was using his axe to do the slide, which looked very cool.

I ran to the dock and found Sigurd standing among the large crowd. It looked like all of the people were packed up and ready to leave for England.

I went to talk to Sigurd when he said it was the perfect time to leave and asked me if I was ready. I had the choice to delay, but I was also ready to see what the new world had to offer. I approved the leave.

Eivor said he was ready and they should take to the water and leave unbothered while they still had the chance. But Randvi then said the chance had already passed as she saw a boat carrying King Harald's banner entering the harbor at Fornburg.

That's all for now.

I found Sigurd at the great hall for King Harald's speech after leaving Gorm's cabin. The King united the clans and exiled Gorm after Eivor let the King decide his fate. Tensions rose when Styrbjorn unexpectedly kneeled before Harald, sparking anger in Sigurd and leading to a deep conversation between Eivor and King Harald.

After coming out of Gorm's cabin, I had to look for Sigurd again to see what our next move would be. I was a bit lost about his exact location in the crowded area, so I called my raven again to get an aerial view. It looked like Sigurd was at the great hall.

I called my horse and I started running towards that big building to meet up with my brother. Riding inside this town was really slow, which bored me as I wanted to reach the hall quickly.

I eventually reached the entrance and dismounted, leaving the animal in the snow.

After getting inside the hall, the first thing Sigurd asked Eivor was if Gorm was still alive. Eivor replied it pained him to say that he did, as the truce had protected the coward from a deserved death.

Then they stood together and got ready for the important speech of King Harald that was about to begin.

The King started giving his big speech to the gathered members of many different clans who had come to hear his vision. He wanted everyone united under one king and one rule to end the constant warring between neighbors.

A king and queen of a neighboring kingdom offered their own crown to King Harald as they planned to sail for greener shores the next day. King Harald accepted their offer wisely, expanding his influence without shedding any blood.

Then Gorm opened his mouth and offered his axe and his oath of loyalty to the King in front of everyone. But the King didn't take his words wisely because he knew the dark deeds that Gorm and his father had done in the past.

As Eivor is Kjotve's Slayer and his clan was slandered by Gorm, King Harald asked Eivor what he should do with the man. I got the option to choose his punishment, and I chose that the King should decide for himself.

The King then named Gorm "Worm" and called him exiled from all the lands he now controlled. He asked him to leave the territory by the next full moon or he would be fed to the crows.

After Gorm left the room, there came Styrbjorn, the King and father of Sigurd. He kneeled before King Harald, mentioning he was happy to do it if King Harald brought lasting peace to their people. Sigurd did not like this at all, and his face showed his anger at his father's secret choice.

Styrbjorn mentioned he was securing a lasting peace as their days of fighting were finished for good. But Sigurd was very angry because he didn't know anything about this deal, not a single word had been shared with him.

As Sigurd left the room in a rage, Eivor had a conversation with King Harald. The King asked him if he dreamed of a glorious future, mentioning that a warrior like Eivor would be a great boon to his clan. I chose to say he didn't know his fate, to keep his options open.

Eivor confirmed that the King had nothing to fear from him personally, as his loyalty lied strictly with his brother. He told the King he bore him no ill will, but his heart belonged to the Raven Clan.

The King ended the conversation, mentioning they would eat and drink tonight and awake in a kingdom made new.

That's all for now.

After a fatal fall, I used my raven to find a safe ground route to Alrekstad. I met Sigurd and faced the coward Gorm, who was protected by a truce. Basim then taught me how to move unseen to reach Gorm's cabin, but the truce ultimately forced me to leave him alive.

After dying from the fall last time, I didn't want to try the same way again. I called my raven to check for a ground route that was much safer for my journey. The bird flew high above the cliffs and found a clear path through the valley that avoided the dangerous ledges I had failed to cross before.

I started riding my horse to the frozen land on the mountain that I had ignored last time. I was looking for a shortcut before, but the long way proved to be much more stable for the animal. The snow was deep and the wind was cold, but we made steady progress toward our destination.

I reached Alrekstad after a long ride, and it looked like a very crowded town. The sun was setting in a beautiful way, casting long shadows over the wooden buildings. I had to find and speak to Sigurd, so I called my raven again to look around from the sky.

I found Sigurd, and there was also Gorm, the coward son of Kjotve the Cruel, with the last of his men. Sigurd mentioned they didn't have anything to do about it because they were under King Harald's truce. So Gorm got to leave the room in one piece, much to the frustration of everyone there.

Sigurd left Eivor to Basim, asking him to watch over the warrior and see that he warmed himself with a drink. But Eivor was much more interested in taking down Gorm once and for all. After seeing the sigil that Eivor got from Kjotve, Basim offered his help to take down the coward.

Basim mentioned he knew where Gorm was camped and who could help Eivor see Gorm while remaining unseen. I started following him outside toward the camp of Gorm.

On our way, Basim was teaching me the ways of walking unseen through hostile territory. He suggested that I put up my hood for the trick to work when we were close to the place where Gorm was hiding. I pulled the fabric over my head to blend in with the common folk.

I had to enter Gorm's cabin without any Norse soldiers noticing my presence. I was walking slowly, with the hood hiding my face from the curious eyes of the men around the fire.

There were some Norse soldiers who saw me even when I was hiding in the hood. I had to take them down anyway, realizing I had to take the other side of the camp where they were not looking.

Then I entered Gorm's cabin, where Eivor was challenging him for a fight. But some Norse soldiers came to warn Eivor that he was subject to King Harald's truce. They said breaking the peace would cast them all out of Alrekstad, forcing Eivor to lower his gaze.

Eivor had nothing to do but leave Gorm in one piece for the time being. He said some bold words to the coward before leaving the cabin and walking back into the cold air. It looked like it didn't affect Gorm at all, as he remained the most coward person in this world.

That's all for now.

After defeating Kjotve the Cruel, I set out to meet Sigurd by riding across a massive mountain range. I climbed the steep terrain and switched my outfit for better speed before reaching a high ledge overlooking a river. In an attempt to reach the bottom quickly, I took a leap that ended in a fatal fall.

I had to meet Sigurd on another land to continue our mission. I called my mount after changing my outfit. I started riding out of this land, leaving the battlefield behind and looking forward to the next part of our journey.

The map took me directly to this massive mountain. It really reminded me of the jokes about Google Maps that take you to such difficult terrains in the real world when you are just trying to find a simple path.

Well, I started climbing the big mountain because I did not see any other way around the obstacle. I had to pull myself up the rocky ledges and navigate through the frozen ice. It was a slow process, but I was determined to reach the other side.

There were some narrow paths on the mountains as well, or I could run and jump over the gaps to move faster. I kept checking the beautiful landscapes from there, looking at how far I had come. The view of the valleys below was truly breathtaking from such a high point.

At last I reached close to the top of the mountain, where I called my mount and the horse came to me like magic. You can see I already changed my outfit back to the regular one. The other clothes seemed like they were slowing me down so I changed them.

I started riding the horse through the snowy mountain terrain once I reached the flatter sections. I noticed there were several foxes running around the snow. They were not so wild and did not seem bothered by my presence as I moved quietly.

At last I reached an edge of that mountain from where I could see the land where I had to meet Sigurd. However, the only way to reach there seemed like climbing off the mountain and swimming across the wide river. It looked like a very long way down from the cliff.

So I started jumping off and climbing down the mountain as it looked like the only way to me at the time. I moved from one ledge to another, being careful. The descent was just as difficult as the climb I had finished earlier.

After a while, I got bored because the climbing was not ending fast enough. I decided to try a big jump directly towards the river to save some time.

Unfortunately, Eivor landed on a piece of land right beside the river and he died instantly. It was truly a story of misfortune.

That's all for now.

I led an assault on Kjotve's fortress to find his son, Gorm. After scaling the walls and opening the main gates for my troops and Sigurd, I cornered Gorm in a large building. The coward fled on a horse, leaving us to celebrate a successful victory and enjoy the peace.

It was Gorm, the coward son of Kjotve, who challenged me while he was hiding safely behind the thick fortress walls. He did not want to face me in the open, so we decided to climb up the big walls to reach him.

After climbing up the walls, I started fighting and taking down the enemy soldiers one by one. I held the position until the rest of my team was able to come up and join me on the battles.

Together, we started slaying the enemy troops with our blades, pushing them back so we could take control of the high ground.

While the enemies were busy fighting my brave troops, I went for the main door, as Sigurd would not barge in without the door being opened from the inside.

There was another gate to pass before I could get to Gorm, but a big man blocked my path. He was strong and held a heavy weapon, so I had to take care of him first. It was not very hard for me to find an opening and take him down.

Then I opened the last gate so all my troops could infiltrate inside along with Sigurd. The fortress was now crawling with our warriors, and the enemy was starting to lose their grip on the battle.

Now that my troops were handling the enemies outside, I went for Gorm inside the big building. I found him hiding at a height, looking down at the chaos below. He still refused to fight me like a man, so I had to start climbing the wooden beams of the hall to reach him.

I started climbing up, but when I finally reached the top to get to the enemy, Gorm fled the place cowardly. He jumped down and took a horse to ride away as fast as he could.

We decided not to go after him right then, as the assault on the fortress was officially completed and the day was won.

I climbed down from the heights to get back to my people on the ground. They all cheered up because they were successful in the assault and had taken the fort.

I stopped there for a moment to enjoy the peace and watch my warriors celebrate the victory we had worked so hard to achieve.

That's all for now.

I fought Kjotve the Cruel and faced Eivor's father's shame in battle. After a tough fight that moved into a pit, I dodged thrown bodies and finally assassinated him. In a dark vision, Kjotve was defeated having Odin as a witness, and Eivor's raven returned the royal bracelet to him.

I did not think that fighting Kjotve the Cruel would happen this soon in the story. It felt like he should be the final boss of the entire game, but the whole team was already moving in to take the man down.

We gathered our strength and prepared to storm his position, knowing that this would be one of the most important fights for our clan's future and safety in these lands.

Kjotve was not scared at all when he saw us coming because he was a very strong and proud captain. Eivor mentioned that this was his father's shame that he would take back today.

The battle started with a lot of energy and noise. Kjotve asked Eivor to embrace his destiny as they locked eyes on the battlefield. My only objective at this point was to kill him and end his reign of cruelty once and for all.

I started attacking the enemy while Kjotve kept trying his hardest to hit me with powerful swings. I managed to dodge most of them by moving quickly to the side. The sad part was that I did not have access to the photo mode during this boss battle, so I could not capture the cool photos that I usually like to.

When I finally drained half of Kjotve's blood, he kicked me hard and I fell deep inside a pit. He jumped down into the hole right after me to continue the fight in the cramped space.

While I was laid down on the ground trying to get back up, an assassin jumped down to help. He tried to air assassinate Kjotve from above, but he failed to hit the target. Kjotve was too fast and moved out of the way just in time.

Kjotve started throwing dead bodies toward me to hurt me, so I had to dodge them constantly. After avoiding his desperate attacks, I drained the rest of his health and finally assassinated him.

Eivor was dragged into a strange shadow realm along with the dying Kjotve. In this dark place, he saw Odin watching them from the mist. It was a very cold and quiet place compared to the loud battle we just finished.

Kjotve was saying that Eivor's clan would be forgotten by history, but then something very strange happened. A big tree grew right out of the ground and pierced through Kjotve's body.

Then the raven of Eivor came right out of Kjotve's mouth in the vision. The bird gave Eivor the bracelet that he had gifted to the king when he was just a kid. The mission of taking down Kjotve was over, and I felt like a great weight had been lifted from Eivor's shoulders.

That's all for now.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=coooldude/4c104fe5

After receiving the king's blessing, Eivor and Sigurd launched a brutal raid on Kjotve's coastal camp. We burned enemy supply carts and dismantled the defense before meeting with reinforcements. Following a final strategic council, Eivor requested that Basim that Eivor will kill Kjotve himself.

After taking permission from the king, the siblings set their course toward the closest camp of Kjotve the Cruel. On our way to the land where the spies originated, I spotted a lonely campfire burning along the shoreline.

As we closed in on the camp, I gave the order to begin the raid. Eivor stood tall and started blowing the horn, signaling our warriors to prepare for the slaughter.

I jumped out of the boat as soon as we hit the shallows and took down one of the enemies with ruthless efficiency. By then, the rest of my crew had already reached the coast and begun their assault.

I focused on setting fire to several carts that likely held the enemies' gear and supplies. They kept trying to push us back, but we proved to be completely unstoppable as we moved through the camp.

I had to fight through a thick line of defenders to reach the remaining carts. I handled them quickly, ensuring our path to the primary targets remained clear.

While the last cart was burning down, I accidentally caught fire myself. I had to sprint back to the river and dive in to save myself as the flames began to spread across my body.

I met Sigurd back at the dock, where several boats from another king's fleet had arrived. They offered to aid us in our final mission to end Kjotve's reign once and for all.

After a brief discussion, the allies decided to meet at another land checkpoint to begin the march. Sigurd joined them immediately, leaving me behind to take my time before going for the war.

I didn't have to make the long journey to the meeting point manually, as Eivor moved there during a cinematic transition. I met Sigurd and the commander of the allied forces to finalize our plan for the coming war.

As Eivor and Sigurd left the tower to prepare for the battle, Eivor asked Basim to leave Kjotve to him, and he agreed, respecting Eivor's need for personal vengeance.

That's all for now.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=coooldude/d859d74d

After receiving the hidden blade, I mastered its various techniques, including a lethal air assassination. Following a heartwarming conversation with Sigurd, I intercepted a spy and cleared a nearby camp, discovering a letter from Kjotve threatening total war. Sigurd convinced the King to finally strike back against their enemies.

After getting the hidden blade, I was asked to follow Sigurd to the training grounds to practice the essential actions of the weapon. It was all about precision and timing to make sure the blade hit its mark every time.

After trying various techniques, I attempted an air assassination. It looked absolutely dope as Eivor dropped from the height to deliver a lethal blow to the practice dummy.

I practiced assassinating from a haystack and then took some time to run through the drills on my own until the movements felt like second nature.

Once the practice was over, I followed Sigurd to the dockside. The brothers shared a heartwarming conversation, looking forward to the day they would finally take down their enemies together.

Eivor was sleeping when the words of Valka about Sigurd began to fill the air. Suddenly, a noise outside drew attention, and Eivor spotted a spy from Kjotve's clan lurking in the shadows.

I pursued the spy from the rooftops. When the objective to take him down appeared, I launched into an air assassination to end his journey before he could report back.

I called my raven to scout the surrounding area for more threats. I quickly spotted a small camp nearby with two more enemies waiting in the brush.

I infiltrated the camp and assassinated both enemies using different techniques. While searching the area, I found a letter from Kjotve himself detailing his plan to wipe us out entirely.

We took the news to the King, but he seemed confused and hesitant, clearly not ready for a full scale fight against Kjotve's forces.

Sigurd grew angry at the King's hesitance and declared it was high time to pay back their enemies before it was too late. Seeing the fire in Sigurd's eyes, the King finally granted his permission to proceed.

That's all for now.
