Hordafylke, 877 AD
Oswald,
I can not begin to comprehend the stuff I saw and tell you about what happened in that chamber on the other side of Norway. Sometimes I even question my own sanity. If anything it has made me realise that I don't want to do this job as a assassin anymore. I am simply fed up of being betrayed by everyone. Even the ones who hired me. The traitor was Basim. The same person who hired me only to end up bringing me all the way to this chamber to try and kill me and Sigurd. The bastard lured us all the way there. He said he had been watching me since I was a child, the raid everything with Kjotve and my parents. He was the one who sent Kjotve to kill them knowing I would fall into his trap with my thirst for revenge and it worked. Here we are 17 winters later with the truth out. I should of known. Sigurd had warned me about a traitor as he saw some stuff through his visions but I dismissed it as Fulke brainwashing him. He was right. Only it wasn't the one who we expected. It was him all along. The sly arab worming his way through my life. He admitted he wished the wolf had killed me but was disappointed to see that I had survived the bite with only a scar. That's what made him kill my parents and start this plan. He said it was because he had a son and this was all for him. He was barking nonsense the whole way through and even tried to kill Sigurd in front of me too before we trapped him on the Valhalla simulator and sent him on his way to Odin so he wouldn't bother us anymore.
Don't worry I am alright but shaken and badly hurt. I need to get home quickly. He stabbed me and now I walk with great pain and a limp. Sigurd is unharmed and that's all that matters. I am leaving Norway never to come back here. It was a bad idea to return. I realised glory is not what you think it is. I was trapped in the Valhalla simulator by Odin for the past 3 days and it wasn't as glorified as the stories make it to be. Everyday I would wake up to the same battle, the same enemies the same people. I had no purpose and identity there. Unlike in the waking world. It was a trap. I thought of you, my clan everybody in the waking world and it just wasn't the same. I got to be with my parents for a few days but nothing beats the fresh air of England, your arms and life at home. I knew I had to fight my way out at that instant. Odin didn't let me leave easily it was a long and hard fight to get to the gate and get back to Earth and leave the simulator. The second I got out, Basim happened. Here I am, Basim is dead , I am injuried my brother is safe and I am writing to you while reflecting on my life. This was going to be my last mission to finish everything I had started over the past few years and I have finally completed that. My life's work and purpose. I am ready to settle down now. I just want a simple life in a farm like Beteleah . Easier times like when we first met a few years back, doing simple meniable labours like you described sweeping the hay and stuff. I'm done with this assassin life. I owe the brotherhood nothing they just betrayed me. After all your the only family and the only person who I can truly trust besides Sigurd and my clan. I want to spend the rest of my life growing old with you and In England. That's why I came for a fresh start. There's too many painful memories here in Norway. I have finished with my life here with Basim being the last of anything Norway I had left. But even he's gone now.
There will be no more letters from me now, as my mission is over I will always be in England by your side . I have finished travelling the world. This is the last letter I will send you. Before we can be together forever now. I hope you are keeping well I think of you all the time and miss you. I can't wait to see you in a few months time when I get back. I long for your arms and your touch. Until then, Farewell Oswald and we'll speak more when I get back.
Eivor
