"Well, I do so love being special," Ivar confesses. Really, he does. Knowing that Ruby saw him as being worthy of her gift was something that warmed Ivar's two-sizes-too-small little heart.

"Then you'll need to accompany me the next time I'm on the battlefield," Ivar says. Ruby has always had the propensity for nothing being able to touch her and now he knows why. He's already eager to see what she could do once she really let loose.

"The world?" Ivar echoes. He isn't sure how to even picture that. His worldview has always been limited to where Vikings have already roamed but he knows that's not all there is to what actually makes up the world. To think about going where no Norseman has gone before and having it all for the taking sounds like the achievement of all he's wanted to accomplish.
