Viking Legacy Page #2

men to warn off evil spirits.

If you live a hundred years,

you will not see as many men

as they have killed.

So what can we do?

I don't know.

Just keep going.

- Are you alright?

I've lost a great army.

I failed in my quest.

One son is dead...

and now I must hunt the other.

What happened, Thvari?

I thought I was a good man.

Seldom are there single waves.

You are a great man, Alfarr.

Trials are always set

for great men.

They head north. We are gaining.

We hasten.

Look!

Let me deal with this.

Come.

Excuse me.

I don't want no trouble.

We don't mean for any.

We're just weary travelers.

My king,

they head east along river.

If we cross,

we can cut them off.

You fool, Sven.

Tell me, young lady,

why is the Norseman with you?

It's a long story.

- Has he hurt you?

- No, not all.

On the contrary.

He saved my life.

You're very lucky.

Very few escape

their bloody clutches.

I know.

He seems different.

Not so different.

Henry.

I am Orlaith.

That is Sven.

You like him?

I am becoming more fond of him.

Well, just be careful.

Eggs and stones.

You know, they may

look the same, but, well...

Just be careful.

I know this village.

This is where Cadoc lives!

We should look for him.

Something is not right.

Orlaith...

We must be very careful here.

- Thank you for your kindness.

- I'll pray for you.

I've caught a rat!

You can stop running,

little girl. You are surrounded.

- Sven!

- Give me the scroll.

I don't have your scroll!

Ah, I know that you are the key

to finding it.

Where is the scroll?

I don't know what you're after,

let alone where it is!

I had this same talk

with your friend

before I cut his head off!

Where is the scroll?!

Sven was right.

There is no reasoning with you.

It's time to talk

to your father.

Let go of me!

You have made friends

with my enemy.

You will be treated

like my enemy.

I am not your enemy.

You keep company

with Christians,

you kill my men,

you run

when you should stand and fight!

You seem like my enemy to me!

This is your brother's sword.

You did kill your own brother.

How are more deaths

do there have to be?

- Only one.

- -This what you want?

Well, you're a fool,

because it's worthless!

Get her!

Sven!

He was an animal!

He was my father's pet. He will

not be happy we killed him.

We've got to go.

Sven! I will find you!

I swear by the last breath

of Odin, I will find you!

Where are you heading now?

I don't know.

Just keep heading north,

away from them.

Well, I have a ways to go,

so I can take you

as far as I can.

Thank you, Henry.

How did you know we would come?

Where's your faith?

I have no faith.

In people, in gods.

I believe in nothing anymore.

Well, it looks like there's

someone who has faith in you.

I'm afraid we have to part ways.

You head north along that road,

and here's something

to keep you going.

You didn't have to do that.

You've been so kind to us.

I don't know how to thank you.

Thank you, Henry.

- Ok, you take care.

- Goodbye.

Thank you, old man.

You will be repaid someday.

Go on.

What does it say?

Its pages mean nothing.

It offers no power!

It talks of a time long ago,

of a kingdom with an heir

who will unite nations.

She knows something.

We must find that girl.

Sven?

I will not hesitate.

Both my sons are dead.

Giant's mountain

is mentioned in this book.

Remember my father would tell us

stories of giant's mountain?

Of course.

The savages would use it

to ward off attackers.

It's further north.

We go.

Are you sick?

I'll live.

We will rest soon.

Hmm... what's all this?

I'm looking after you.

Come, eat.

What's this?

My parents gave it to me.

Finian says

it's a symbol of my legacy.

Do you have any?

No.

Lots of scars, though.

- You have a fever.

We need to cool you down.

Your fever has broken.

- You leave her.

- Impressive.

I meant the axe.

Get dressed

if you're coming with us.

Come with you?

We don't even know you.

I'm sister Kale. We've been

waiting for you, child.

You're so beautiful. Your father

would have been so proud of you.

Come. Gather your things.

We must make leave.

We're doing very well

on our own.

And we're very thankful

for your help,

but I will take things

from here.

I think we should go with her.

I do not like her.

Come. I mean you no harm.

I'm a friend.

Friend?

Friends do not hide

in the shadows.

I had to be sure

that you were the one.

What one?

The markings on your back.

How did you find us?

Cadoc was able

to get message to us

that you were still alive,

and on your journey.

Yeah, I was supposed

to meet Cadoc.

He was butchered.

We lost track of you,

so each night I scoured

these lands searching for you.

I don't understand.

A long time ago,

a prophecy was made,

speaking of a Princess

who would bring about change,

and unite the kingdoms.

Your path has been set.

Where does it lead?

All in good time.

I know.

When I was younger,

Christians invaded our village.

They took our scrolls,

and they killed my people!

You make it sound

like a pillaging.

It was a necessary evil

for the greater good.

The scrolls,

along with six other texts,

were retrieved and placed

in my father's possession.

Typical Christian.

You think you have the power

to rule the world!

You think you can take

what you want.

You think we all should

bow down to you!

Actually, the texts

aren't meant for us.

Orlaith, it was your bloodline

that was chosen to one day unite

all countries under one king.

- But I cannot be king.

- No, but you can be queen.

And more importantly,

mother to the king.

So, who is supposed

to be the father?

That's been taken care of, too.

All in good time.

Necessary evil?

These are dangerous times, and

we're to protect the kingdom.

How well can you use it?

Well enough.

We should rest. We have another

day of traveling tomorrow.

Sister Kale...

What is the marking for?

Ink lives longer

than memories, my child.

You were very young

when that was burned to you.

Oh, you cried so much.

You must have hated us

at the time.

I don't remember.

That's what I mean.

Burning the ink into your skin

is the only way

we could tell who you are.

I don't understand

why Finian didn't tell me.

He was protecting you,

and most likely teaching you

humility and strength.

Very important qualities.

Finian played a far greater part

than he would have liked.

But it will not be in vain.

Sister Kale... you made it back.

Sir Callaway,

you look very comfortable.

Yes, it's, um, fit for a king,

you might say.

Cyneric is inside.

And you must be the Princess.

Oh, I was not informed

of your beauty.

What a great honor... this is.

- This must be your... guard?

- This is Sven.

Shall we step

inside? We have much to discuss.

Come.

Could you stay out here?

Allow me to introduce Cyneric,

son of Redda,

heir to the one true throne.

Finally, you two meet.

It is a momentous occasion.

We've waited so long
