Vikingdom

Brother.

My Lord Beothric.

He is mortally wounded.

Brother...

...you're a king now.

Rule well...

...as Father would have wished.

Eirick. Brother!

Everybody has a story to

tell about their lives.

My story begins the day I die.

There is in nature an

irregular occurrence.

when the sun burns red as

the moon crosses its path.

This is the Blood Eclipse...

...a time when a pathway could be opened.

...between Heaven, Earth and Hel...

which the Vikings called

Valhalla, Mittgard and Helheim.

The Viking Gods used holy relics as keys.

...to unlock the gates to reign over man.

But over time, the tale faded into myth.

Men abandoned the Viking Gods.

...and embraced the new

Christian God and his son.

Yet one God...

...the God of Thunder...

...did not forget.

He resolved to take on human form...

...find the keys...

...and re-establish the Viking Gods.

...for all eternity.

Huh?

Row!

Jesus!

Norsemen!

Norsemen!

Norsemen!

Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm!

Deum de Deo, lumen de lmine...

Deum verum de Deo vero...

Gnitum, non factum,

Consubstantilem Patri...

- Per quem mnia facta sunt.

- Norseman! Norseman!

The Viking Norseman!

They've come for it.

Close the door!

Charge!

None enter the abbey before me.

Aye, My Lord.

God is our sword. Faith is our shield.

Where is the abbey?

This way, My Lord.

Begone! This is the house of God!

I am a God!

- Blasphemy!

- Silence!

I am Thor...

...son of Odin, brother of Baldur.

I've come for that which is not yours...

...nor your one God, nor his son.

The necklace.

It is a holy relic.

Indeed.

It is the necklace of Mary Magdalene.

You are no God.

You're blood runs as red as a man's.

Fool.

Even Gods must travel

in the body of flesh...

...here in this middle realm.

Was not your own Jesus

pierced and broken?

My Lord, we are ready

to sail with the tide.

Good.

Hmm...

I shall give you what you truly desire...

...closer thee to thy God.

Forgive me, old friend.

State your business.

My Lord Frey.

There's no need for that, my friend.

Rise.

God, that stench of bear's very strong.

Better I stink of his

blood than he of mine.

Eirick Bloodletter.

High Thane of the Jomsberg.

A huntsman.

I was never fond of that name.

Most of your kind would

kill to make such a name.

- Skal.

- Skal.

Eirick...

...a decade in these woods...

...how have you kept your wits?

I would have lost them

sooner had I stayed, My Lord.

And you managed to

find a measure of peace.

...up here with the bears and the wolves?

I have.

Then my heart is heavy.

Then lighten it with

what you came here to say.

I bring you news of coming war.

Thor has returned to the Mittgard.

...and gathered around him the

Northern Kings of the mortal...

...the Trondelag.

There's turmoil in the world.

I was there, Eirick...

...at the battle before time...

...and I've seen what would

become of this world.

...if the Jotunn Giants

are set loose again.

I would not see such things again.

Thor is here.

...to open the gates of Valhalla...

Mittgard and Helheim.

You must stop it.

How?

I'm a man.

I am no match for a God.

But you are not just a man.

You are far more.

Ordinary men are not

brought back to life.

My sister gave you the gift of life.

...because of her love of you.

For years, you lit her

world with your love.

The ultimate love.

That between a man and a Goddess.

She brought you back.

...because she could not

bare the world without you.

She never asked for anything in return.

Eirick?

Freyja.

Live...

...my lover.

Live.

Eirick, you are now an undead.

Only an undead...

...can pass through Helheim

and return to Mittgard.

Not even a God, not even me...

...can enter and return...

...but you can.

There is in Helheim a gilded horn.

Now, once blown in the very face of Thor.

will destroy Thor's human flesh.

...and send him back to the place

of spirits where he belongs.

You can choose to deny me.

You can stay here.

But the pathway will be opened

during the coming Blood Eclipse.

Retrieve the horn...

...make your way to the Henge of Stones...

...inside the Fort at Trondheim.

Blow the horn there, and

Thor will be defeated.

What you ask of me is impossible.

I would have chosen a weaker man.

...had it been a simpler task.

Go first to Osberg.

There you will fine a

wizard by the name of Alcuin.

He will lead you to the gates of Hell.

Wind to your back, Viking.

Clear skies above.

If you're gonna stand there and watch...

I'd as soon you come

here and give me a hand.

I should've known it was you.

Stink of f***ing bear sh*t for miles.

So I'm told.

I've got to say it's good to see you...

...so bear sh*t be damned

'cause you're still my king...

...even if you do look like a hermit.

No longer.

I need your boat.

Well, I knew it wasn't a courtesy call.

Look to be honest with

you, it's not mine anymore.

It belongs to another.

But I have a feeling we

could work something out.

We'll have to collect it in Osberg.

Osberg?

That's where I'm headed

and then to Trondeheim.

Well, it's a long way,

so we best get going.

No, Sven. This journey

of mine, it's dangerous.

You have a wife, family, child...

Yeah, and I'm a Viking

first and foremost...

...so give me a moment to collect

my things and bid farewell...

...and I'll be back.

You know, it's ten years.

Ten years.

I thought you would've showed

your face here before then.

Hey, my friend, can you

give us a ride to Osberg?

Osberg? Everyone's

going north, not east.

Kings of the Trondelag

are spending silver.

...like they have a mine of it.

Wood, iron, warriors.

Anything that can go

north for war, they buy.

What business of you in Osberg?

None of your f***ing business.

Well, can you pay?

Yeah, we can pay you in fur.

If you were virgin girls,

I'd take your fur for pay.

Come on. Give me a hand here.

Help, help, help.

- Help!

- There's something inside.

Pay no attention to

that. It's just a slave.

What the...

Hah! What manner of

man is colored yellow?

Maybe he's a Laplander or a dwarf.

Way too ugly to be an elf.

Damn you.

Enough!

Release him.

What?

You heard me. Release him.

That's the one.

Welcome to Osberg.

Did you think you could

mess with Ustus and live?

Now put your weapons down...

...and you might live to regret them words.

Smart tongues don't

waggle for long. Kill 'em.

You free me, I repay debt. We're even.

It's gotta be worth keeping the wee man.

Will you join us?

Food.

I'm looking for King Karl Redbeard.

What do you want?

Tell him that Eirick Bloodletter

of the Jomsberg's here.

...and wishes to seek his counsel.

Alcuin the wizard.

Strange man.

I never really understood

what was in his head.

Well, he's no longer

with us, as you can see.

I'm afraid you've come

a few moons too late...

...not that any of us will miss

him very much, I shouldn't think.

What happened?

A group of warriors,

Geat warriors they were...

...came to trade, not many in number.

That was the last we saw of Alcuin.
