Sigurd confirmed his choice to leave Fornburg despite the king's final warning, and the clan set sail for England. After the title sequence, Layla emerged from the Animus in a remote cabin. She experienced strange environmental tremors before being greeted by Shaun and visiting a mysterious grave that holds the key to their mission.
It was their king who risked a final confrontation as he approached the boats with King Harald's banner flying behind him. He asked Sigurd to stop and reconsider after hearing the plan to abandon their lands. But Sigurd confirmed his choice was already made.
Then I had to walk to the longship as everyone was waiting for me to board so we could depart. While I was walking on the docks, I looked at the home one last time through the photo mode. I could guess, once we leave this place, the life I had known in Fornburg would be gone forever.
After sitting on the longship, the warriors began to row and we started sailing away from the harbor. I was still looking at the home because I didn't know if I would ever get to check on it again in this lifetime.
While they were sailing for England through a long route, the crew members were having different conversations about their hopes and fears. The game showed its logo at last against the horizon, signaling the true beginning of our saga in the distant lands.
After the cinematic sequence ended, the person who was playing Eivor came out of the Animus and it was revealed to be a female character. I realized it was Layla, who I guess was introduced in Assassin's Creed Origins at first and has been the modern-day protagonist since then.
She and her team had held up in a proper house in a remote location to stay hidden from those who were hunting them.
After checking through the window at the landscape outside, she was about to drink some water to clear her head. Suddenly, she noticed some shaking around the room, which told her that the environmental stability was failing while she was staring at the ancient equipment.
So the lady went outside after putting her earbuds in. It looked like it was a quiet country site where they had held up to conduct their research in peace.
When Layla was wandering around the yard, there came Shaun, who was a friend of Desmond and a character from the beginning of the series. He came bringing some electrolytes for Layla as he mentioned. It's good to see a familiar face in such a lonely place.
Then Layla was shown checking on a lonely grave located a short distance from the house. She was talking to the grave while asking how they would fix the breaking world and how the person buried there was the key to everything.
She looked down at the dirt, knowing that the answers she needed were buried deep within the bones of the past. But who this could be? Eivor?
That's all for now.

The photo mode shots of Fornburg from the docks were a great touch. It captures that final feeling of home before the longships take you away forever.
That mysterious grave has so many questions surrounding it already.
I tried to check on the place for one last time. Thanks for your compliment, means a lot.
Thanks a lot.
It is a massive risk to walk away from everything you know, but Sigurd's refusal to kneel to Harald makes the journey to England feel like a true quest for freedom.
I totally respect his choice.
Layla look a lot different and matured here. I also get to play as her in Origins and she's trapped in the desert now to uncover the secret of Bayek's missions. It's great to see she's still holding up.
Its good to know you're playing an younger version of Layla.
I liked the quiet cabin scenes a lot. The shaking room, strange events, and Shaun's appearance made everything feel tense and exciting.
The cabin and its surrounding is too good to not like.
Loved reading this bro, the grave moment was my favorite part. It created so many questions in my mind, and now I am very curious to know what happens next.
I hope you found the post I published next that had "what happens next".
