00:00In Midgard, I used my power to force Sigrid into marriage, tearing him away from his beloved.
00:04After death, he ascended as the Arbiter of Helheim, imprisoning and torturing me.
00:09For a hundred years, he made sure every soul in Helheim knew I was his wife.
00:13Then, upon finding his dead childhood companion, he drove dozens of hell-forged spikes into my body.
00:19He declared, my heart was vile, my hands stained with the lives of the innocent,
00:23and he flooded my soul with darkness.
00:25Then, before every watching eye, he gave me two choices.
00:30Remain and become his companion's servant as penance, or enter the Hall of Anguish as a corrupted soul,
00:35to suffer endlessly and be reborn into servitude across every life, never to know a good death.
00:40He knew I feared pain, feared suffering, but even if I had to endure every torment,
00:45even if my next life would know no peace, I could not bear to remain at his side one moment
00:49longer.
00:50After a hundred years imprisoned beside Sigrid, I was finally released from that lightless dungeon.
00:54When the iron chains fell from my pierced collarbones, I thought I would feel lighter.
00:59Instead, all I felt was the dense, crushing wave of pain across my shoulders.
01:02Seeing me hesitate, a death guard shoved me hard from behind.
01:05My lord summoned the one of the city.
01:09Move!
01:10Don't make me late with my dream.
01:13His expression was stone cold.
01:15He had no fear that I would disobey, because Sigrid had placed a curse on me.
01:18From the moment I entered Helheim, I was every soul's dog.
01:21Summoned, dismissed, forbidden to resist.
01:23Now, I lowered my eyes, swallowed the pain, and walked out of the Arbiter's Hall.
01:29The moment I entered the city, a force seized me and wrenched me down.
01:34I crashed hard to the ground.
01:36The wounds on my shoulders tore open, another bloom of blood and rot.
01:40Zorin, standing at Sigrid's side, let a flash of pleasure cross her eyes.
01:44Then she twisted her face into fear and reddened her eyes.
01:48Sigrid, what did I ever do to make Rowan hate me so much, that she would sever my limbs and
01:53have me tortured to death?
01:54The moment she spoke, Sigrid's gaze turned to ice.
01:57Don't be afraid.
01:59I'll make her pay.
02:00He never merely said things.
02:01The moment the words left his lips, he drove dozens of hellforged spikes into my forelimbs.
02:05The agony hit like a collapsing sky.
02:08I couldn't hold back my scream.
02:09Every wound Soren bore, I will return to you a hundredfold.
02:15Rowan's heart is rotten.
02:17She has taken lives without mercy.
02:19Her crimes are unforgivable.
02:21Under Soren's cues, the crowd began to point and condemn.
02:23A woman like her deserves to be cast into the deepest abyss of Nif'him, never to be reborn.
02:30Hearing their words, Sigrid poured more darkness into my soul, his voice cold as iron.
02:35I give you two choices.
02:37Either remain and serve Sorda in penance, or enter the Hall of Anguish as a corrupted soul,
02:42be reborn into slavery across every life, and never know a good death.
02:47The pain was so absolute, I couldn't form a single word.
02:49Of course.
02:50You're too selfish, too cowardly.
02:53Why would you ever choose the cycle of Yggdorick?
02:57He turned and took Soren's hand.
02:58Let's go.
03:00We have a wedding to plan.
03:02He knew I feared pain, feared suffering.
03:04He didn't believe I would choose rebirth, and so he went off cheerfully to plan his wedding.
03:08What he didn't know was that the moment I was released from the dungeon,
03:11I had already gone to the Hall of Anguish to register for the cycle of Yggdrasil.
03:15Even if I had to endure every torment, even if my next life would know no peace,
03:19I could not bear to remain at his side one moment longer.
03:24By now, every soul in Helheim knew the story.
03:26In Midgard, I had used my power to force Sigrid into marrying me.
03:30I had murdered his aging mother.
03:31I had ordered Soren's limbs severed and left her to be tortured.
03:35He had hated me with everything he had.
03:37In Midgard, he endured it all in silence.
03:39And in the tenth year of our marriage, he slaughtered the entire Rowan clan, dozens of lives, and then killed
03:45me.
03:45After my death, I learned the truth.
03:47He was the Arbiter of Helheim, the High Valkyrie.
03:50Because of his hatred for me, he kept me imprisoned at his side for a century and subjected me to
03:54every torment he could devise.
03:55But what he didn't know was that he had hated the wrong woman.
03:59I had never killed his mother.
04:01I had never touched Soren.
04:06For the first ten years of my imprisonment, I never stopped trying to explain.
04:10It wasn't me.
04:10But Sigrid would grab me by the throat, eyes blazing red, and scream,
04:14I only believe what I saw with my own eyes.
04:16Time wore me down.
04:17I went numb.
04:18I stopped explaining.
04:20Now he told every soul, it was I who had taken him by force and compelled him into marriage.
04:24He had forgotten.
04:25The year we first met, he was huddled among beggars,
04:28and he took the bowl of porridge I extended to him, and he looked up at me.
04:32That young man had gazed at me with something pure and shy in his eyes.
04:35My lady, do you need a guard?
04:38I'll work for a meal.
04:39It was a time of war and chaos.
04:41My heart had gone soft.
04:43I brought him home.
04:44I had people care for his ailing mother and younger brother.
04:47Years passed.
04:47He stood in front of me, unyielding, when danger came.
04:50Then came the day the royal house called for concerts.
04:53He grabbed my hand with reddened eyes and pleaded,
04:54Don't go.
04:56I'll work until I'm worthy of you.
04:59Can't you just consider me?
05:01I had no desire to marry some prince, and he had moved me just a little.
05:05So I said yes.
05:06He said he loved me.
05:07He said he would give himself fully and would not waver for a lifetime.
05:10After we wed, he gave me everything.
05:12He was tireless, devoted, always striving.
05:15Ten years passed.
05:16We were bound without doubt or shadow.
05:18Then came the moment he raised a bow and put an arrow through my chest,
05:20and I finally understood he had never loved me at all.
05:27Now he looked at my wretched figure, with not a single flicker of emotion in his eyes.
05:32In seven days, Sorda and I will be wed.
05:34Right now I need to take her to be fitted for wedding robes.
05:37Crawl back on your own and prepare to begin your penance.
05:39With that, he left with Sorin.
05:41The onlookers needed no invitation.
05:43The sneering words came fast.
05:45She entered Helhem and immediately called herself his wife.
05:48I almost believed they were devoted to each other.
05:51Turns out he only kept her around to let his beloved vent her anger.
05:54They laughed.
05:55They sneered.
05:55I did not raise my head.
05:57I used every last fragment of strength to drag myself forward.
06:00Blood trailed in thin streaks across the road.
06:02I ignored the pain consuming my body and crawled, truly crawled, back to the Arbiter's Hall.
06:10When I finally looked up, I did not know how much time had passed.
06:13Sigrid and Sorin returned to find me at the gates, drenched in blood.
06:16Sorin let out a sharp cry and rushed over, pulling me upright.
06:20Rowan, why are you covered in blood like this?
06:23She asked, though she already knew.
06:24The delight behind her eyes was unmistakable.
06:26My stomach turned.
06:27I tried to pull my hand free.
06:29Sorin crumpled straight to the ground.
06:31Sigrid's eyes went wide with fury.
06:33Sorin!
06:33He caught her immediately.
06:35When he saw she had fainted, his expression darkened.
06:37Without pause, he blasted me away.
06:39I was hurled a dozen meters and slammed into a wall.
06:42I couldn't stop the blood that came up with the impact.
06:44The pain in my body doubled.
06:45I clenched my fist against it.
06:47Out of the corner of my eye, I watched Sigrid carry Sorin on his back and leave swiftly,
06:52pausing only to give a cold order.
06:53Throw Rowan into the chasm of Niggdug.
06:55Let her learn her place.
06:58I won't have her forgetting what she is.
07:00He didn't hesitate for a single breath,
07:01before concluding it was I who had harmed Sorin.
07:04He never once asked,
07:05what could I, a hollowed out soul, have even done?
07:07I said nothing.
07:08I did not call after him.
07:10I simply let the death guards drag me away.
07:12Because I already knew, Sigrid would never believe me.
07:14The pain was overwhelming.
07:16I couldn't stop my eyes from closing.
07:19I drifted in and out of consciousness as they hauled me off the street.
07:23They were not gentle.
07:24They dragged me through thorns, leaving me torn and raw.
07:27A figure made of blood.
07:28The guards felt nothing.
07:29They simply pitched me over the edge and into the chasm of Nidhugger.
07:32The chasm is the one place every soul dreads most.
07:35The void serpents down there will keep you drowning in your own suffering,
07:39alive enough to wish you weren't.
07:41Every soul in this realm can see how much Sorin and means to our lord.
07:46You still went and provoked her.
07:48You deserve exactly this.
07:51They believed I deserved it.
07:52They walked away, not knowing I had done nothing.
07:54But I understood.
07:55Even if they knew, they would not help me.
07:58Without Hala present, Helheim answered to Sigrid.
08:01There was nothing more to say.
08:02Nothing that would matter.
08:03The wind screamed past my ears.
08:05Then came the impact.
08:06I hit the floor of the chasm and the force tore more blood from me, painting my pale-faced crimson.
08:11The void serpents caught the scent and struck without waiting.
08:14Fang sank into my arm.
08:15As the venom spread, I closed my eyes.
08:19Long buried memories were pulled free and without meaning to, I smiled.
08:22Yet a single tear slipped into my hair.
08:24At the start of the story, my eyes had been full of happiness.
08:27Then a snowstorm passed and my eyes were dyed in blood.
08:30My beautiful husband came with an army and slaughtered my entire clan.
08:33When he looked at me, his eyes held nothing but hatred.
08:36That night, surrounded by the bodies of everyone I had loved, I screamed until I had nothing left.
08:41But my parents, who had cherished me, my sister, not one of them would ever answer me again.
08:46Sigrid stood with a bow in his hands, soaked in the blood of the Rowan clan, his eyes cold with
08:51savage satisfaction.
08:52I watched, numb, as he stepped forward and drove his blade through my chest without flinching.
08:57Before I fell, I asked him,
08:59Why?
09:00He stepped closer.
09:01With quiet tenderness, he wiped the blood from the corner of my lips, then smiled, and the smile was winter.
09:07I only ever saw Saul as a younger sister.
09:09Even if she was in love with me, why did you have to destroy her utterly?
09:13My mother treated you with nothing but kindness.
09:15You didn't spare her either.
09:17Rowan, how can you be this cruel?
09:19Desolation rose from somewhere deep in my chest.
09:22He was my husband, and without a single question, he had butchered my entire family and laid every crime at
09:27my feet.
09:27I had barely crossed paths with Sorin more than a handful of times.
09:30I had loved him with everything I had.
09:33Why would I ever have harmed his family?
09:35But it didn't matter.
09:36Nothing had ever been real between us.
09:37There was no tenderness to speak of.
09:39Not once.
09:40Not ever.
09:43Self-loathing sank into the marrow of me.
09:45I could not stop the anguished sounds that tore from my throat, nor the tears that fell without ceasing.
09:50The void serpents fed greedily on my suffering, curling the corners of their mouths in satisfaction.
09:55My family appeared before me, and their accusations came one after another.
09:59Rowan, how can you still love the one who destroyed us?
10:03He killed your family.
10:04Why haven't you made him pay?
10:06Rowan.
10:07If you hadn't let jealousy drive you to hurt Sorin and Sigran's mother, we would never have died.
10:13The whispers and the contempt circled me without end.
10:16I shook my head violently.
10:18The disappointment in their eyes broke something inside me.
10:21I didn't do it.
10:22My voice came out as a ragged rasp.
10:24My eyes were so swollen I could barely see.
10:26The suffering pouring from me drew more and more void serpents close.
10:29They sank their fangs in again, extracting the anguish, harvesting it.
10:32There was no escape.
10:33I could only relive it.
10:35Drown in it.
10:35Again and again, until I lost consciousness entirely.
10:40When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the chasm of Nidhugger.
10:43The familiar surroundings told me at once, this was Sigrid's estate.
10:48Rowan, I'm so sorry.
10:49I never expected Sigrid to misunderstand and throw you into the chasm.
10:53I only fainted yesterday because I can't stand the sight of blood.
10:57Startled myself, really.
10:58I'm terribly embarrassed about it.
11:01Rowan is so kind-hearted.
11:03You'll forgive me, won't you?
11:05After all, I've decided not to hold a grudge about what you did to me in Midwar.
11:10Her eyes were filled with triumph.
11:11She was telling me plainly,
11:13even the smallest incident would be enough to make Sigrid turn his fury on me.
11:16I didn't speak, but Sigrid's face had already hardened.
11:19Sorin came to apologize in good faith.
11:21And this is how you respond?
11:22She's chosen not to pursue what you did to her in Midland,
11:25and you can't even offer a single word of apology.
11:28Today, you will apologize to Sorin.
11:31If you don't, I have no problem keeping you in the chas of Nindo or indefinitely,
11:36suffering every single day.
11:38Rowan, just bend a little.
11:40After this, we can be friends again.
11:42Her contempt was clear as glass.
11:44It pricked at something in me.
11:46I'm sorry.
11:47I had no desire to apologize, but I knew with certainty.
11:50Sigrid would make me pay on Sorin's behalf regardless.
11:53Good.
11:54At least you know when to yield.
11:57I couldn't afford to lose my chance at the cycle of Yggdrasil.
12:00That apology bought me a brief, fragile peace.
12:03A few days later, the moment I was well enough to leave my chamber, I moved to go.
12:07But Sorin stepped into my path.
12:19I had no desire to humor her, but even less desire to endure her wheedling.
12:23I agreed.
12:24The moment I stepped out of the estate, I went straight to the Hall of Anguish.
12:28The warden led me inside.
12:30But no sooner had I faced the first trial of love and hatred than I nearly came apart at the
12:34seams,
12:35my soul unraveling.
12:39The warden brought me back out, shaking his head with a sigh.
12:45You cannot yet withstand the torments of love, hate, and obsession.
12:51I'll hold your place.
12:53Come back when you've recovered.
12:56There was nothing to be done.
12:57I could only return to the Arbiter's Hall.
12:59Secret's curse left me no choice.
13:01When Sorin saw me, she immediately took the lantern from my hands with a smile.
13:04I wanted to leave.
13:05Someone grabbed my wrist.
13:09I turned.
13:10You went to the Hall of Anguish?
13:12I lowered my eyes slightly.
13:14I merely passed by.
13:16He looked at my ashen face, pressed the unease back down.
13:19What?
13:21You saw the trials and were frightened into looking like that?
13:24He exhaled with quiet relief, a scornful thought crossing his mind.
13:28I was so small and so cowardly.
13:30Why would I ever enter the cycle of Yggdrasil just to leave him?
13:33I said nothing more.
13:35I turned to go.
13:36Then heard Sorin let out a sharp cry and collapse, vomiting blood.
13:39The lantern had been unwrapped.
13:41The warmth of Midgard still clung to it.
13:44Any soul who had passed into Helheim would be burned by such living light.
13:49Do you hate Sura so much you'd see her soul torn apart?
13:52I pressed my lips together and said nothing.
13:54Since you love the light of the living world so much, let me give you your fill of it.
14:03At noon the following day, I was taken to Midgard.
14:06The blazing sun fell on me like a judgment.
14:08The pain was beyond bearing.
14:10In the shadows, a death guard shuddered.
14:12You can offend anyone in this realm.
14:15If you would just jump, my lord is merciless.
14:20For one moment, I felt myself beginning to dissolve.
14:22Then Sigrid reappeared and wrenched me back into Helheim.
14:25I was forced to my knees before Sorin.
14:27Sigrid's voice was flat as still water.
14:29Apologize.
14:31He stood firm.
14:32I said nothing.
14:33Sorin glanced between us and waved Sigrid off.
14:37Let me have a word alone with Rowan.
14:39Of course.
14:42The moment he left, Sorin rose from her sickbed, as though nothing had happened at all, and
14:47produced a memory stone.
14:48Look at these people.
14:50Do you recognize them?
14:52I looked up instinctively.
14:54My parents.
14:55My family.
14:56All of them.
14:57Surrounded by something that looked like the inside of a furnace.
15:01Because of you, Sigrid and I were torn apart.
15:07And your family.
15:08They deserved what they got.
15:11Sigrid kept them around all this time so I could my anger.
15:16They're screaming.
15:17Isn't it lovely?
15:18Don't you want to hear it?
15:20Her smile was radiant.
15:21Her eyes were full of cruelty.
15:22My vision flooded red.
15:23I couldn't stop myself.
15:25My hands closed around her throat.
15:27You deserve to die.
15:31But she laughed, and then her face crumpled into fear.
15:37One word.
15:38Sigrid came at once, pulling her free, and the rage that blazed in his eyes when he turned
15:42on me was absolute.
15:43Since hatred is all you have, I'll send you to the Hall of Anguish and strip it out of
15:48you.
15:51I won't have you thinking about hurting Sorin ever again.
15:57In an instant, I was thrown before the gates of the Hall of Anguish.
16:00Sigrid expected me to beg.
16:02I didn't look back.
16:03I walked straight through the doors, into the blazing Hall of Hatred, without hesitating
16:06for a single step.
16:08Sigrid watched.
16:09Something lodged in his chest.
16:10But he turned and left anyway.
16:14In the days that followed, Sigrid went through the motions of preparing the wedding, distracted
16:18and hollow.
16:19And I, inside the Hall of Anguish, walked through every trial there was.
16:23On the day of their wedding, I finally stepped onto the path of Yggdrasil's cycle.
16:27The old woman held out the mead of oblivion.
16:29I drained it in one swallow, and left no trace of it on my lips.
16:33She watched my retreating back, and shook her head quietly.
16:36All things are written in fate.
16:38Before the wedding ceremony began, Sigrid turned his gaze toward the Hall of Anguish,
16:42as if drawn by something he couldn't name.
16:44Sorin concealed the malice in her eyes, and spoke with a bright smile.
16:47Why don't we bring Rowan back?
16:50I'd like her here to bless us.
16:53He gave her the opening she needed.
16:55Sigrid's face shifted.
16:56I'll go.
16:57I won't be long.
16:59He went to retrieve me, but the Warden of the Hall stopped him cold.
17:03Rowan has already endured all four trials as a corrupted soul, and entered the cycle of
17:08Yggdrasil.
17:10Sigrid could not believe it.
17:11But when the Warden summoned the vision from an hour prior, all the color drained from
17:15his face.
17:15Because I had truly stepped into the cycle, and I had not looked back.
17:19Not once.
17:20A sharp pain struck him in the chest.
17:22He stood there, stunned.
17:24Something nameless and bitter rising through him.
17:26Sorin, tired of waiting, came after him.
17:29She took one look at his hollowed expression, and reached out to tug at his sleeve, barely
17:32masking her impatience.
17:35Sigrid, the ceremony is about to begin.
17:37Let's go back.
17:38She had no interest in where Rowan had gone.
17:41All she knew was that if she didn't hold on to what was in front of her right now, she
17:44would never have another chance.
17:45But Sigrid, who had always been so tender with her, wrenched her arm free without a word
17:49and flew toward the gate of the cycle.
17:51Sigrid!
17:52Sorin screamed after him, but he didn't turn back.
17:54Her expression darkened.
17:56She almost followed, then stopped herself.
17:58The memories she carried from Midgard were not ones she wanted to revisit.
18:01She bit her lip and sent a spirit messenger to bring him back.
