The Seer and Lagertha in “Unfinished Business”

The Seer

What is it you wish to ask the gods?

Lagertha

Will I ever bear another child, o wise one?

The Seer

I cannot see another child, no matter how far I look.

Lagertha

Then... what do you see?

The Seer

I see a harvest celebrated in blood. I see a trickster whose weapon cleaves you. I see a city made of marble. And a burning broiling ocean.

Lagertha

Not one of your prophecies do I understand.

The Seer

It is the way of the prophecy. Only to be understood when it has happened and it is too late to change it.
