A Dead Man's Tale

A Dead Man's Tale was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
==Description==
Eivor found a corpse of a man in a pit.
==Dialogue==
In Nyhofn, Eivor heard a woman shouting about a missing man.
*Norse Woman: Has anyone seen a hunter? He is tall, his hair is like mine... and he uses a bow! He was last seen hunting near the woods to the west. He should be back by now.
Some ways west of the settlement, Eivor found a short blade buried in the edge of a cliff. At the bottom of the cliff lay the body of a man. She went down to look closer.
*Eivor: A lonely end. Luck skipped his turn.
Eivor read a nearby note.
*Eivor: Take you back to Nyhofn? A tall ask for a corpse.
She picked up the dead man and headed for Nyhofn.
*Eivor: You have some weight on you.Almost there.
Entering the settlement, the woman Eivor had heard shouting earlier spotted her.
*Norse Woman: Brother? Brother!
As Eivor placed the body on the ground, the woman ran toward her, crying.
*Norse Woman: Brother...! You should have listened to me... You have always been too selfish, reckless! Even Mother said so!
*Eivor: Blame not the adventurer, for the pull of blood-song can tempt even the gods.
*Norse Woman: Wh-where do I go now, without you to guide me? Wh-what should I do? L-lost... I am l-lost...

|-|Follow in your brother's footsteps.=
*Eivor: His path is in front of you, child. He would want you to follow it, to do what he can no longer do.
*Norse Woman: H-his bow... I could teach myself how to use it... I could, couldn't I?
*Eivor: Remember your brother and all that he is. Bring home his tales and let his legacy be grown. That is all we are ... words and song.
*Norse Woman: I will hone my bow-craft, and he will smile upon me from above. He will be proud.
Eivor nodded.
*Norse Woman: Th-thank you, for bringing him back. Thank you.I'm going to be the best hunter ever, just like you, Brother. Wait and see, I will shoot that elk in the eye.
|-|Move on.=
*Eivor: Just like breathing, death is a constant. The sooner you learn and accept, the sooner you become stronger.
*Norse Woman: Wh-what are you saying...? You want me to forget my brother?
*Eivor: Not forget, child-
*Norse Woman: No! I don't care about your stories! Thank you for bringing my brother back, but please, go away!
The woman waved Eivor away and Eivor took her leave.
*Norse Woman: Brother... O... what would Mother say... Brother... I miss you. Why did you leave us...!
|-|Keep your brother in your memory.=
*Eivor: Remember your brother and all that he is. Bring home his tales and let his legacy be grown. That is all we are ... words and song.
*Norse Woman: I will hone my bow-craft, and he will smile upon me from above. He will be proud.
Eivor nodded.
*Norse Woman: Th-thank you, for bringing him back. Thank you.I'm going to be the best hunter ever, just like you, Brother. Wait and see, I will shoot that elk in the eye.

The woman picked up her brother's corpse and carried it to a small camp set up nearby where a man was singing. He stopped as she neared.
*Norse Man: Frey! Wh-wha? N-no... is that?
*Norse Woman: He is in the halls now.
*Norse Man: I... I am sorry, Frey. He died by prey, but he will rest a hunter.
The woman picked up a shovel and began to dig her brother's grave.
==Outcome==
Eivor brought the corpse back to Nyhofn to his sister.
