Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Forgotten Love

53 [Fall Into Me]

[a/n: slight Mature contact]

To be honest I never thought a day like this would ever happen to me. Its been about a day or two since we've returned from Norway; I spoke to Eivor and asked him a big question that Sigurd and I talked about together and that was for Eivor to marry us. I swear he smiled bigger than anytime I have seen him smile.

It was weird seeing myself in a white dress with some beads of a few colors and a shawl over my shoulders that looked just like the fur Sigurd wore for his armor. Randvi did my hair weaving my long black hair into a beautiful waving pony tail with some flowers here and there in my hair; my stomach was doing flips the more it got closer to the time for the ceremony. But my smile never left my face as I passed around the room, Randvi took Nicolas to the small cliff where the ceremony was being held. 

A small knock brought me out of my thought bringing my attention to Eivor who came to get me; he couldn't help but smile warmly as I did the same feeling nervous. He came up to me; giving me a hug that I returned trying not to cry right now.

"You ready?" Eivor asked when he backed away from the hug we shared.

"Yes" I breathed out knowing I was ready to get married to Sigurd once and for all.

We made our way to the small cliff side that held everyone from the settlement; I felt the butterflies flopping around in my stomach as we got closer. I could see Sigurd standing at the end of the burgundy carpet covered in flowers, ending at the altar where more flowers hung around it. Everyone brought their attention to me when me and Eivor arrived; I never saw Sigurd for a lost for words before, but when he saw me I could tell he was trying to hold back tears. My smile never left me as I found myself standing next to Sigurd face to face. Eivor stood in front of us both ready to begin the ceremony today.

"I am honor to stand here before you, Sigurd and Arnora Jarl on this bountiful day. To celebrate your bonds and to see you wed, I am in witness of a love that inspires and empowers; I invite you now to speak your vows" Eivor began to speak as everyone listened to him, I couldn't help but smile at Sigurd as he smiled back at me. I'm sure we both this day a dream but a dream none wish to wake from.

As Eivor stepped aside for I and Sigurd to speak our vows to each other, I was still a bit nervous but it was a happy nervous knowing this was real as we looked at each other face to face now.

"Arnora, for the months we've been together I couldn't ask for anyone better. You stood by my side as my mind clouded, gave me a son and showed me that you were always my light and guided me back from darkness. I couldn't be more prouder to call you my wife from her to valhalla" Sigurd first began his vows never breaking away from my eyes as I listened to his vow to me, it warmed my heart. 

"Sigurd, you were always my first love from the beginning no man is like you and cane never be; I am proud to stand beside you through darkness and light. Loving me for who I am today showed me that love has no limits; from here to valhalla I am proud to call you my husband. With this band I offer you" I spoke next letting my words come from the heart as I smiled warmly at him before bringing out a golden band for him to wear as he to held on for me in his hand.

"I take your band gladly and will wear it with pride" he said to me as I placed his wedding band on his left arm and he placed mine on my arms; before taking my hand in his.

I smiled brightly again as he did, before he pulled me in closer to him; letting our lips meet together in a loving kiss. Letting the people of the settlement cheer loudly for us for our union.

"And now with our couple bonded in matrimony, now we drink" Eivor looked out towards the people as they cheered.

The joy I felt was something I never felt before and I wish for it to never leave me as I stood by Sigurd now as his wife. Sigurd chuckled when our attention was brought to Nicolas who was wanting to come over to us, he was just learning to walk. He held Randvi's hand as he tried wobbling over to me and Sigurd which made us both smile, I kneeled down and I picked him up in my arms having his smile brighten more now that he was near us; each day he started looking more like Sigurd with my eyes of course.

"So Arnora how does it feel to be married?" Eivor came over to me and Sigurd with a smile on his face.

"Like a dream I know to be real" I smiled again as Sigurd wrapped his arm around my waist which made me giggle a bit.

"I'm happy for you both, truly I am" Eivor said again with a warm smile on his face.

It was a great day for sure one that is greater than all of the days put together. The day being filled with dancing, drinks and food. The happy mood lifted all the doom and gloom from all that has happened to us all over these past months we've been here; mine and Sigurd's smile never left us as we enjoyed the day of our union as husband and wife.

As the sun went down, people still partied but me and Sigurd slipped away from the crowd. Leaving Nicolas with Randvi and Eivor for a while. I know I shouldn't be blushing so much but it still felt like the first time, as me and Sigurd walked back to the longhouse; as we neared the entrance Sigurd pulled me close to him for a kiss that I smiled into as I returned the kiss.

"I love you, so much" Sigurd whispered against my lips which made my heart fly.

"I love you too" I whispered back against his lips before giving a small peck to his lips before pulling him into the longhouse and into our shared bedroom now; I'm glad the candles didn't brighten the room much since I was blushing red deeply.

Sigurd chuckled with a smirk on his face as he stood in front of me. My heart was beating so fast right now I'm sure even he could hear it; Sigurd placed his hand behind my head taking out the pin that held my hair letting it fall down as the flowers fell out of it. Before he pulled me towards him letting his lips met mine in a heated kiss as I placed my hands against his chest holding him close to me as the heated kiss grew strong.

My hands started undoing the straps and buckles that held the metal armor against his shirt, letting it fall to the ground as Sigurd slowly backed us up against our bed. Letting our lips never breaking from each other; my shawl slipped off of my shoulders letting it be forgotten as I removed my white dress letting it slide down my frame as it pooled around my feet. Letting out kiss break for a moment when Sigurd got his shirt off throwing it somewhere within the room before returning his lips to mine as his hand roamed around my body pulling me closer to him. I couldn't help but smirk into the kiss when I surprised Sigurd by using my strength spinning us around as we landed on the bed, letting me straddle him as we broke the kiss once more.

"You little minx" he smirked back up at me which made me giggle a bit as I kissed him again before looking at him again.

"I might be" I tease as I rolled my hips grinding against him while earning a groan from him as he pulled me back into a heated kiss; letting the passion consume us both for a night for just us, a night for me and Sigurd to love each other to the ends of the day as husband and wife.
