Oath

1
What?
What a relief!
It was a dream.
That was terrifying.
I dreamt that Father was killed!
I was going
from battlefield to battlefield
and fighting huge monstrous men.
And to top it all off, I became a slave.
Thank goodness
It's so peaceful.
What is up with him?
He's so persistent!
Just collapse
already!
Damn it!
What's wrong?
Let's go all out.
Let us see
if we really are inferior to you guys,
once and for all!
I don't have time for this, idiot!
Damn it! This is enough!
You'd better be prepared.
A slave like you making a scene like this
You're in for more than
a regular punishment.
We won
Father!
You wouldn't believe it!
I had the craziest dream!
So many arrows came flying. And you were
I smell blood.
Huh?
Who did you kill
with that blade?
Huh?
It was to protect you
This power was meant to protect you.
I'm sorry, Thorfinn.
There were so many more things
that I needed to say to you
and to teach you.
No
Father.
I did this
- I'm sorry.
- It's my doing.
I must leave you behind.
Father!
Wait! Wait, Father!
Now you know, don't you?
Nobody is your enemy.
Nobody
is anyone's enemy.
Nobody in this world
deserves to be hurt.
Nobody deserved it.
Where am I? Valhalla?
They're laughing
Bjorn
You're still hanging onto there,
Thorfinn?
Hey, long time no see.
Askeladd
You're really persistent, aren't you?
You came back here again?
Is this
Valhalla?
Huh? Valhalla?
You think this is the underworld?
Don't be ridiculous.
The underworld is a much better place.
Take a good look.
This is the real world, as we know it.
This is a dump for the scum of the earth.
It's the final destination for warriors.
It's the ultimate state of warfare.
There are no winners or losers,
nor is there an end.
Here, everyone except yourself
is your enemy.
Everyone except yourself
is your enemy?
Do you remember, Thorfinn?
You were once
a citizen of this world.
For better or worse,
you became completely hollow once.
That's why you were
able to escape from here.
It may sound strange coming from
the very person who dragged you here,
but you are lucky.
It's not every day that
someone gets to leave this place.
I mean, take a look at Bjorn.
At one point, your vessel was
filled with the material of a warrior.
But it became empty once.
What is it filled with now?
The same
material of a warrior.
I let my anger take control
and punched someone.
That's why I returned here.
I'm still a citizen here.
My hands are about to
give in as we speak.
I'm pathetic.
I never
learn from my mistakes.
"I" this, "I" that
Jeez, self-reflection is nice and all,
but keep your eyes open.
Something crazy is approaching from below.
Hey, did you just kick him?
You're ruthless!
Isn't the right thing to do,
to listen to their curses?
Curses?
That's right. Take a good look.
They look familiar, don't they?
Those are all people you killed.
Me?
You
All of you
I have no idea
who you all are.
When and where
did I kill each of you?
I can't even remember.
I'm sorry!
They sure know how to ruin the mood.
Come on! You have no time to weep.
You don't want to
fall down here again, do you?
Then let them hang onto you and climb up.
Climb up!
That is your battle.
Go!
Take those people you killed with you
and fight your true battle.
Become a true warrior,
Thorfinn!
A dream?
A true
Einar! Hey, are you alive?
Yeah
We won the fight.
We've hit rock bottom.
We're drowning in debt,
our wheat is ruined,
our bodies are battered,
and we are going to be punished
for fighting on top of that.
But you know,
it was so refreshing to see you
punch that jerk.
Ouch!
What's wrong? Are you in pain too?
Einar
I have
killed so many people
with my own two hands.
People like your family
People whose names I don't even know.
People I had no grudges against.
And yet,
I punched someone again today.
This is the last time.
I will never hurt anyone ever again.
As of today,
I am ridding myself of violence.
I am starting a new life.
I have to start a new life
and make amends.
I am going to
fight my true battle.
I see
I understand.
I don't really get it, but I understand.
I am starting a new life.
They're off the hook? That's ridiculous!
Master, this issue jeopardizes
the order within the farm!
This morning, Pater found this
on the field that was ruined.
By the way, Trygve,
what happened to your usual coat?
Uh, well
The field was destroyed by wild boars.
There was no fight.
That's the end of the story.
Got that?
Thank you, Master.
You sure are tough, Pater.
Are you not the least bit afraid
of being ostracized by your workmates?
I've learned to become tough.
After all, I am a former slave myself.
Relax those muscles
or you'll exhaust yourself.
Let the weight of the hoe do the work.
Yes!
"The Cursed Head."
