Ah, to die at your hands is an honor, Ragnar

After the devastation that had swept through the city, Sophia Mary made her way toward the palace grounds, her heart a tumult of grief and rage.

The once-grand palace lay in ruins, a shadow of its former self. From her elevated vantage point, she saw the smoldering remains of what had once been a bustling center of life.

Sophia's heart ached with the knowledge that despite her best efforts, the cycle of pain and loss had not been broken.

The cries of her ancestors seemed to echo through the corridors, a haunting reminder of the endless struggle for survival and the ever-present shadow of despair that had marked her life.

"No… help me… help me… Ragnar, help me!!!" Sophia cried out, clutching her chest tightly and repeatedly calling out for Ragnar. "Ragnar, save me!"

The agony was unbearable.
