A New England

A New England was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, that was relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor met a man talking about his England.
==Dialogue==
Eivor found a man on an island talking about his England.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Welcome, traveler, to our lush and fertile shores!
Eivor found a note posted near the man.
Eivor talked with the man.
*Eivor: I did not expect to find anyone on this island.
*Hysing the World-Wise: And why not? This is England. Home to a nation of Saxons and Danes. Our shores are open for trade.
*Eivor: England? It is not what I expected.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Many from Norway find the trip dizzying, but fortunately, you have me to guide you. I know the land better than my own son.
*Eivor: Are you all right?
*Hysing the World-Wise: My son. Nesting with the Picts north of Hadrian's Wall. Who knows what schemes they are hatching...or the sort of people they might send to spy on me.
*Eivor: You said something about a tour.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Of course, of course, a tour. Follow me.
Eivor followed Hysing.
*Hysing the World-Wise: This is the city of Lunden, first built by the Romans during ancient times. We have not seen builder like that since.
*Eivor: I guess they had to work with what they had.
Eivor continued to follow Hysing towards a cliff.
*Hysing the World-Wise: These are the Dover Cliffs, famous for their blue birds.
*Eivor: Hmm.
Eivor and Hysing made their way to a stone circle and a pillar.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Here is Jorvik, the Dane city of trade. Keep this between us, but King Alfred has a plan for Jorvik.
*Eivor: I see.
Eivor and Hysing went towards a broken-down small wall of rocks.
*Hysing the World-Wise: This is Hadrian's Wall. Our last line of defense against the barbarous Picts.
*Hysing the World-Wise: It is a line of sorts.
Eivor and Hysing ventured towards a house and went inside it.
*Hysing the World-Wise: At the end of the tour is Wincestre, the heart of Wessex, where — Where is King Alfred? Those honorless Picts! They have taken the king! We must seek them north of Hadrian's Wall!
Hysing ran out of the house.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Where are you my king?
*Eivor: I am sure he is somewhere.
Eivor ran after Hysing.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Do not worry, my king! I am coming! Do not worry, my king! I am coming!
They made their way to a camp, where Eivor found another note.
Eivor and Hysing soon went to a straw figure at the camp.
*Hysing the World-Wise: My king! What happened? Why won't you speak?
Another man ran into the camp.
*Djon the Woodsman: Who in Hel's name are you? Why are you going through my things? Thor's balls, you found it! Why did you take it back? You set him off again.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Traitor! The king won't speak to me! You cut off his tongue!
*Djon the Woodsman: He has no tongue!
*Hysing the World-Wise: Because you cut it out!
*Eivor: You are his son.
*Djon the Woodsman: Do not feed this fantasy. His wits wither and become those of a babe. I took him here to ease his madness, but it grows worse. I try to use reason or playing along, but he hears what he wants to hear.
*Eivor: "Only what he wants to hear", hm? I have an idea that could help...if you let me. Old man, your king is worn out from his ordeal. I can hear him speak, very softly. He is praising you. He wants to thank...
*Djon the Woodsman: Hysing.
*Eivor: He wants to thank Hysing for his loyalty to the crown.
*Hysing the World-Wise: What else does he say?
<tabber>
|-|(LIE) The Picts surrender=
*Eivor: The Picts, terrified at word of your approach, will pledge themselves to the crown if you spare their lives.
*Hysing the World-Wise: They will?
*Eivor: And they agree to pay a daily tribute of food and other goods in exchange for free passage through your lands.
*Hysing the World-Wise: It is a good deal and greater news. Thank you. You may leave the king in my care now.
Hysing walked away.
*Djon the Woodsman: This will only lead to further delusion.
*Eivor: You will know at least he eats every day. And maybe, someday, the fog will lift.
*Djon the Woodsman: Forgive my ill will. I knew this would be a difficult end, but sometimes the weight bears down heavily.
*Eivor: There is courage and honor in what you do and the gods know it. Good luck to you.
Eivor left them with a remark.
*Eivor: Looks like England is united.
*Hysing the World-Wise: The Picts have been fine subjects. King Alfred is pleased.
*Djon the Woodsman: The peace holds. For now.
|-|Wake from your dream=
*Eivor: You walk in a dream. It is time to wake.
*Hysing the World-Wise: What are you saying?
*Eivor: What is real may not be pleasant as a fantasy, but you have people in this people who honor you.
*Hysing the World-Wise: It does not matter what you tell is real. This is what I believe. I believe Alfred has sold us out to the Picts! You betrayed your nation and your people! I denounce and dethrone you!
Hysing walked off mad.
*Eivor: It is a harsh choice, but sometimes you must put fire to a wound to heal it.
*Djon the Woodsman: Forgive my ill will. I knew this would be a difficult end, but sometimes the weight bears down heavily.
*Eivor: There is courage and honor in what you do and the gods know it. Good luck to you.
Eivor left them with a remark.
*Eivor: Still at war with England?
*Djon the Woodsman: That tough old fox is still hanging on. I admit I am impressed.
Eivor saw Hysing off.
*Hysing the World-Wise: Tell your Pictish master that you will never take England!
*Eivor: I would not think of it!
</tabber>
==Outcome==
Eivor decided on how to treat Hysing's illness in the end.
