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