FREYA: Beautiful.
-
MAN: My thoughts exactly.
-
FREYA: Who are you?
-
MAN: I was known as Olav Kyrre, Priestess.
-
FREYA: Olav Kyrre is dead.
-
OLAV KYRRE: So I am, as I would have my people continue
-
to believe.
-
What brings you to my land?
-
FREYA: There is no House of Night in Scandinavia.
-
OLAV KYRRE: And you wish to establish one here.
-
FREYA: Our goddess wishes it.
-
OLAV KYRRE: The churches here still believe vampyres to be
-
minions of Satan.
-
FREYA: Yet there are many fledglings in this land with
-
nowhere to learn how to become what they must become.
-
OLAV KYRRE: I keep them safe.
-
FREYA: How?
-
FLEDGLING VAMPYRE: Who is she?
-
FLEDGLING VAMPYRE: Have the humans found us?
-
FLEDGLING VAMPYRE: No need to fear.
-
She is the same as us.
-
FREYA: This is how you keep them safe?
-
By hiding them away like animals?
-
OLAV KYRRE: Would you rather they be hunted like animals?
-
Because that's exactly what the humans will do to them.
-
FREYA: And that is thanks to you, King Olav.
-
FLEDGLING VAMPYRE: What does she mean, Olav?
-
OLAV KYRRE: I was marked a year before I
-
was to become king.
-
So I hid the truth away by never removing
-
my helmet in public.
-
During my reign, I worked long and hard to establish peace
-
between the pagans and Christians.
-
The Christian bishops would agree to that peace, if the
-
blood drinkers were expelled from Norway.
-
I chased them out myself before the church soldiers
-
could burn them alive or worse.
-
After years of guilt, King Olav finally
-
"died" of a grave illness.
-
And I set off to protect the scattered fledglings.
-
I never meant for things to end up so--
-
FREYA: You had a heavy burden to bear, and we all wish we
-
could change the past.
-
But it's in the here and now that you have a chance to make
-
things right.
-
Do you not trust your goddess, Nyx?
-
OLAV KYRRE: It's humans I don't trust.
-
If I allow you to expose those fledglings, it will be at the
-
expense of their lives.
-
FREYA: But you can expose yourself.
-
These people still cherish their memory of you.
-
You could exp--
-
FREYA: You are a high priestess and therefore my
-
superior, but I will stop you if you--
-
FREYA: I will establish a safe haven for these fledglings,
-
with or without you.
-
OLAV KYRRE: Then I would request that you speak to Nyx
-
and explain the hazards of this madness.
-
FREYA: Earth, my element.
-
I summon you to stand with me as I beseech my goddess.
-
Nyx, I request the favor of your eternal wisdom.
-
NYX: I hear you, daughter.
-
But it is your own wisdom you will need.
-
What is it you would ask of me?
-
FREYA: Some believe that by trying to help the fledglings
-
here, I may be endangering them.
-
NYX: Is this what you believe?
-
FREYA: No, but I need your assistance.
-
NYX: Then you shall have it in the form
-
of my forest children.
-
They will show you your path if you survive their guidance.
-
[GROWLING]
-
OLAV KYRRE: Those cats will kill you soon enough.
-
FREYA: What are they, these cats?
-
OLAV KYRRE: Norsk Skogkatts, sacred to my people.
-
FREYA: If these sacred cats accept me, then so too will
-
the people of Bergen.
-
OLAV KYRRE: And if they flay you alive?
-
FREYA: You mean, us?
-
No!
-
Earth, I summon thee.
-
You're bleeding.
-
OLAV KYRRE: Can't imagine why.
-
FREYA: It would be a shame to waste.
-
May I taste?
-
OLAV KYRRE: Be my guest.
-
OGMUND: Is it a witch?
-
HUMAN: She's a vampyre.
-
See the mark?
-
OGMUND: That's far enough.
-
HUMAN: How is it that a Satan-spawned
-
vampyre exists in Norway?
-
HUMAN: How'd she get them cats so friendly?
-
OGMUND: Shut your mouth, boy, and get.
-
HUMAN: I don't know what's demonic power you have over
-
the sacred Skogkatts, but--
-
FREYA: I have no power over them.
-
These cats accepted me, as I am hoping you
-
and your city will.
-
OGMUND: We've had no blood drinkers in this land for over
-
20 years, thanks to Olav Kyrre.
-
OLAV KYRRE: That's a mistake I will forever regret, Ogmund,
-
old friend.
-
OGMUND: King Olav?
-
HUMAN: You will leave this land, demon, and return to--
-
OGMUND: I will hear what he has to say.
-
OLAV KYRRE: Please forgive my deception all these years.
-
I'm ashamed to admit that I doubted my faith in the Norse
-
capacity for acceptance.
-
I hope you will prove that I was wrong.
