Beyond Fear

Beyond Fear was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Basim Ibn Ishaq in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor went to meet Valka at a campfire, southeast of Ravensthorpe.
==Dialogue==
Eivor traveled to the campfire Valka had mentioned before.
*Eivor: This is the spot. Now I need only wait for Valka to arrive.
Eivor waited until nightfall, when Valka arrived and went behind Eivor.
*Valka: I will tie your hands now.
Valka bound Eivor's hands behind her back.
*Eivor: What purpose will that serve?
*Valka: You are too much the warrior, Eivor. You will not recognize your fear until you are helpless before it. Drink.
Valka gave Eivor a potion to drink.
*Eivor: And you say this will bring the vision back?
Valka stood up and walked away.
*Eivor: Is that all? You mean to leave me here?
Eivor struggled with the binds.
*Eivor: Valka, this is... W-why must I be tied?
Eivor soon heard a noise nearby.
*Eivor: Valka?
The potion made Eivor's vision blurr and she began to hear more wolves.
*Eivor: Untie me! The wolf is coming and I... I cannot reach my weapon! Valka! Valka!
Eivor heard multiple growls as she saw a wolf approach her from the bushes. At that moment, her vision turned briefly white as the potion took full effect.
*Eivor: So many! Where did they come from? I have to break these bonds!
Eivor tried to break free.
*Eivor: The more I struggle, the tighter the bonds become!
Wolves began to surround Eivor.
*Eivor: There must be a trick to this. What did Valka say? Give in to it. Be still.
Eivor became less tense and freed herself.
*Eivor: Free! Now for the reckoning!
Eivor attacked the wolves, each one disappearing after a blow.
*Eivor: They fade like a nightmare upon waking. What illusion is this?
Eivor screamed at the wolves.
*Eivor: Accursed phantoms! Come, then! You will not find me lacking!
Eivor took down every wolf that came her way.
*Eivor: Gah! It's like fighting a river!
After a long onslaught of wolves, Eivor came across a familiar wolf.
*Eivor: I know you, wolf. I saw you on the ice, the day my father died.
Eivor fought against the wolf.
*Eivor: But I am not a child any more. Curse you! Die!
Eivor began fighting more and more against the wolf.
*Eivor: No more will you stalk me!
After a series of blow, the wolf disappeared and faded away.
*Eivor: The wolf is gone... for now. I'm ready, Valka. It is time.
Eivor fell into unconsciousness and returned to her vision of Havi some time after grieving Baldr's death.
*Havi: Svartalfheim. Even after all these eternities away, I still hate the place. Yet it offers me the hope of revenge, sweetest of morsels. The realm is changed. But this is not Surtr's doing. It is something more. I must find Brokkr and Ivaldi. They'd better still have my Salakar nice and safe.
==Outcome==
Eivor came to face her fears after drinking Valka's potion and fell back into the vision as Havi continuing his journey in Svartálfaheimr.
