    My heart is just broken. I'm so torn because while it's so tragic, it feels like a victory for Moyra and I so want her to be at peace with her daughter. This entire work is just so tragic. And while I loved the other ending to this because it filled me with hope, this feels like how their story was meant to end. A tragic victory for Moyra, but the only way she could win her hard-fought battle. And of course tragedy for Ivar, the tragedy that drives him to become the monster the legends and sagas tell us about. I'm just in awe. What an amazing, heart-wrenching story. This entire thing was like being punched in the gut over and over, but I loved it so much.

      I know. My heart is broken too. I was so afraid to write this. Because people tend to see pregnancy and motherhood as a fairytale and this story is anything but a fairytale. I didn't want to make Moyra look like an "evil woman", but Medea was by my side pushing me not to be afraid. Hahahaha.

      I agree that's the only way Moyrs could win. I'm blushing that you felt that's how the story was meant to end, it was how I planned in the beginning. And Moyra being the one to push Ivar to become the legend we know was something that I loved writing.

       

      Thank you so much for your constant support and kindness. I love you!!!

        I don't think Moyra was an evil woman at all in this, she seemed to me more like a tragic hero. I just loved this so, so much. This alternate ending was so sad, but it was so much more fitting to the story than the other one. I LOVED the happier ending too though! The entire idea behind the story was just so heart-breaking. I'm glad you listened to Medea and weren't afraid to write this! I love you sister!

          I'm glad you don't see her as evil and that you loved this ending. I feel like I must be much more careful with the sequel not to turn into a story that apologize rape. The concept of consent walks in a thin line here. I love you too. <3
