Viking Legacy

1

You can learn a lot

from the foxglove.

Quite often in nature,

the more beautiful specimens

are also the deadliest.

- So you think I'm beautiful.

I've taught you a lot more

than I would like to, Orlaith.

Some of it is not considered

suitable for a woman,

so when we travel,

I'd like for you to...

To act more ladylike?

I don't know many men

who'd be comfortable with it.

I do not know any men

besides monks.

Well, yeah. All in good time.

- Well, what does that mean?

Looks like

we better be getting back.

Something's wrong.

We need to be

getting back quickly.

It's the Norsemen.

I have to get in there.

- Why?

- My work!

Why would they want your work?

You must go. If they find you...

If they find me, what?

Finian?

You remember Cadoc?

You remember where he lives?

Head north, ok?

He'll explain everything.

But that's days away. You're

not making any sense, Finian.

How am I going to get there?

You must travel quickly.

Don't talk to anyone.

Don't stop for anything, ok?

I'm sorry, Orlaith.

I wish we had more time,

I really do.

Take care, Orlaith.

Now, go.

What are you doing?

These men are dangerous.

Go back!

Quickly, give me a hand.

Finian!

What's this?

- It'll explain everything.

- What do you mean everything?

Look, not everything, but...

It's your destiny, Orlaith.

A legacy left to you.

Your father, your mother,

the markings on your back.

It's too late.

You have to leave now.

- Take care, my child.

- Why aren't you coming?

If they get any sense of you,

or where you came from,

all of this will be for nothing.

I don't understand, Finian!

Go find Cadoc.

Remember everything you've been

taught. Stay true to yourself.

Go!

You know of the kingdom scrolls?

Where is the girl?

She is of no concern to you.

So where are they?

She's just a local girl

of no importance.

Do not think

I am an ignorant man.

I've looked into the eyes of

dying men with nothing to lose.

Who is the girl?

You won't find her.

You'll find nothing,

but loneliness and darkness.

You're nothing but animals,

and you'll all be slain

like animals.

Let's go.

What do we have here?

Angels don't usually fly

this low.

A Norseman

attacked the monastery.

I need help.

Please help me.

Aw, you don't need

to worry, little one.

We've slain all the Norsemen.

You needn't be afraid anymore.

You don't understand.

They'll be here soon.

Why don't you come with us?

We'll introduce you to our king.

He'll be very interested.

Come on! Don't you want

a bit of fun?

- We'll be gentle.

You go on. I'll catch up.

Freyja?

I am Orlaith.

You saved my life.

We need to leave.

What happened?

Ambush.

200 enemies.

You should have let me

lead these men.

Build a pyre.

- We send them to Valhalla.

- Yes, Alfarr.

We don't have time!

You help, or you join them.

Ulf.

Find Sven.

Now we are even.

Did you find Sven?

- No sign. He might be hostage.

- What about the girl?

She cannot be more

than half a day ahead.

- We will find her.

- We'll continue.

My king!

Frithjof! Get back!

You are awake?

Yes.

Good work.

What is that?

I should know your name.

Sven.

So, you are Norseman?

Yes.

I must return to my men.

But they're all dead.

That is why I must return.

To send them to Valhalla.

You mean like heaven?

- Heaven?

- Afterlife?

Yes.

There were a lot of men there.

- Can you do that on your own?

- Shh!

I was just asking.

I'm not...

someone's coming.

Shh.

Sven?

Frithjof.

Is that the girl?

What girl?

Do you know him?

Stop.

- What do you want with her?

- Get out of my way, Sven.

Stay away from me!

Are you sure

you want to do this, Sven?

You don't look too good, Sven.

I do not need my health

to beat you.

It should have been me

with those men on the beach.

I would have seen them coming.

You are blind, Frithjof.

Father has always favored you.

Why do you think he left me

on the beach with those men?

He doesn't trust me.

He doesn't trust me to fight

with him and he's right.

Hmm. That is because

you give up too easily, Sven.

It is why I will always win!

Get up.

Don't try that one.

Hey... hey!

Hey.

No. No!

No!

No, wake up! Come on!

You killed him.

He's my brother.

- We need to leave.

- No, I need to stay with him.

Someone is coming.

It's my father.

Goodbye.

Why did you send the horse away?

Tracks.

But we could be miles away.

They wouldn't catch up

for weeks!

Even across oceans

they will not stop.

They won't stop

until we are dead.

So what do we do now?

What does your book say?

How do you know about my book?

My teacher gave it to me.

He said

it would explain everything.

And where is he now?

Your men killed him.

This is not right.

What use is this?

Finian told me

to meet a man called Cadoc

in a village north from here.

Then that is where we go.

Wait! Don't you want to know

how far that is?

It doesn't matter.

We cannot rest.

My father is hunting us now.

North.

This way.

Wait here.

I didn't know you could fight.

Only if I have to.

We should rest.

What is the plan?

We leave at dawn.

Are you sure

this girl has the scroll?

I do not know.

But it's the closest

we've come so far.

We will find it, Thvari,

and we will rule again.

We have lost many men, Alfarr.

Soon there may be

no one left to rule.

We have come too far

to turn back now, Thvari.

What if I return

without the scroll?

What would that make me?

I am nothing without the scroll.

The scroll is a symbol of power.

I must find it to restore

prosperity to my kingdom.

Besides...

someone must pay

for the death of Frithjof.

That is no way for a man to die.

Olaf!

Where have you been?

That is a matter of privacy.

And my name is Orlaith.

Or-laith.

We go now, or-laith.

Why did you come here?

- What were you looking for?

- Not me.

Whispers and ghosts.

What does that mean?

Some spiritual writing.

It's very powerful.

All I have is this book.

It's useless on its own.

I'm not used to silence.

Finian says I could talk

the hind legs off a mule.

Ow!

Don't ever touch my sword!

How dare you?

What's so special about that

sword that I can't touch it?

It's my father's sword.

He fought with it

in many battles.

It's seen much blood.

The gods are proud

of our weapons, and so are we.

My brother earned this

saving our village.

Saving it from what?

A beast.

A beast with teeth

as long as your arms.

And eyes as red as fire.

I was away on a voyage.

Only Frithjof saw the beast.

How far behind are they?

Not far enough.

Can you talk with them?

Explain about your brother?

I cannot go back.

I was to stay on the shore, and

wait for my father to return.

But I looked around.

I was the one

who found the enemy soldiers.

I'm the reason why men are dead.

It's my fault

that Frithjof is dead.

How could I look at my father?

Besides, he's not a man

to reason with.

We could fight them.

Hmm.

One kill,

and you think you're a warrior?

These men

have destroyed countries.

There are songs sung about these
