John Kavanagh: The Seer

Quotes 

• Rollo : [Viciously rubbing the wrist bearing the bracelet signifying fealty to Ragnar]  Ragnar was always chosen over me. By my father. And my mother. And by Lagertha. Why would I not want to betray him? Why would I not want to scream at him saying, I am alive, too! It doesn't matter what I do. Ragnar is my father. He is my mother. He is Lagertha. Siggy. He is *everything* I cannot do. Everything I cannot be. I love him. He is my brother. He has taken me back. But, I am so angry. *Why* am I still so angry? You tell me wise one! Or, I will tell you. It is because I am useless. Hollowed out by failed ambitions. By failed loves. Nothing good could ever come from my life now.

  [the Seer starts laughing] 

  Rollo : What is there to laugh about?

  The Seer : Oh, Rollo, if you truly knew what the gods have in store for you, you would go down now and dance naked on the beach.

  Rollo : I don't understand.

  The Seer : I tell you as I told Ragnar. The bear will marry a princess. And I can tell you that you will be present at the ceremony. Now go and leave me.
