Tyr had survived because he too, caught on to Noa's suspicion, he caught Noa's eyes following him on multiple occasions ever since the death of Gissur.
Noa was not as subtle as he thought and Tyr confirmed his suspicion when the assassination attempt failed but a few of the prisoners were let go of that night alongside Noa's disappearance.
Tyr knew only one was responsible and if they had multiple targets, then he would understand why but Noa was nowhere to be seen.
Tyr knew how he got Noa and was prepared to lose him that same way but Tyr also saw an opportunity in this betrayal.
He kept it all to himself and allowed everyone to carry out their plan as intended to give whatever information Noa was about to give Sighvatur credibility but to also confirm if he indeed did betray them.
The battle that day confirmed he did but Tyr was not bothered as everything always worked out for him, all he needed to do was stay alive and that was one thing he excelled at.
Tyr knew with Noa at their side, there was one thing he could do, a card Tyr knew he could play but part of his plan involved getting caught for this strategy to work even though he could not foresee under which circumstances this would come to pass.
Tyr knew how love worked, it defied common logic and was the cause of betrayal in their case so what was the best way to persuade Noa?
Tyr threatened to kill Nora and despite Noa suspecting his lover of having a hand in Gissur's death, he still loved her immensely and would not want to be the one responsible for her demise.
Noa, however, argued that if Tyr died no harm would come to get but Tyr asked a simple question.
"Who would be scared of touching her without my protection?" Tyr was smart and knew if he died then men would pounce at the opportunity to sleep with her without fear of repercussion and Noa was barely an average fighter at best.
This was what made him cave into his demand and this was why he was not in the tent when Sighvatur arrived. This conversation happened on the night of his capture, Tyr told Noa to do anything he had to do if it allowed him to be perceived as valuable to Sighvatur.
Noa did just that, fueling Sighvatur's claim and exposing Tyr's secrets to him in abundance, and telling Kolbeinn was the nail in the coffin.
Sighvatur assumed there was no coming back from this and thought it would be in Noa's best interest if Tyr did kick the bucket but he could not be more wrong.
The day broke and the fight happened, Tyr was afflicted by Sighvatur's poison but he exaggerated its effect because the poison Sighvatur used could not kill him.
Tyr was not a fool and he knew he might encounter this poison on the battlefield, this encouraged him to get a dosage that night, he did not just get one but two just in case.
And boy, did that come in handy because Sighvatur was not worried about Tyr escaping and did not trust Noa to watch over him because the supposed antidote given to Tyr was a dud, that was no antidote.
Tyr was supposed to be dead and this was why Sighvatur treated his "escape" as a trivial thing.
It was futile, there was no sane man that would treat the wounds of the enemy because Tyr had shown times without numbers that if even a small probability of surviving existed, then he would survive that event.
Noa treated him and bandaged his wounds, stopping the bleeding but Tyr could still very well move despite losing consciousness briefly.
Noa stayed behind to watch over Kolbeinn, and Tyr returned to kill Sighvatur but Sighvatur's poison was potent, Tyr did fight for his life and even with the antidote, it still had the potential to kill him.

"T-Tyr…" Bjorn muttered but Sighvatur's face was in disbelief, jerking his head backwards to see a murderous Tyr standing behind him with Gissur's broadsword in hand.
"You bastard… What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Tyr asked Sighvatur and Ivan's heart began to beat so fast, he had seen Tyr and right now, Tyr looked a lot scarier than the stories he had heard of him.
Sighvatur could feel his blood lust, how was he alive?
Sighvatur stood up from Bjorn, and only then did Tyr notice the boy on the floor but he did give him a closer examination, his attention was focused on Sighvatur.
Tyr said that only because he saw how calm Sighvatur was and this only fueled his rage, Sighvatur had hurt him but Tyr also noticed the blood-soaked cloth wrapped around his leg so that means someone managed to hurt him.
This forced him to scan the area to look for warriors as he casually stepped over Bjorn and in doing so, he saw Nora, Gudrun and a bunch of people he has never seen.
"Is that Tyr?" Viggo asked and Gudrun nodded.
"Fuck, I do not want to be his enemy…" Viggo said in disbelief, no one could have ever expected a kid this young to have such a powerful bloodlust.
"Sighvatur, I am going to kill you…" Tyr said bluntly.
Sighvatur knew he was in trouble because Tyr arrival only further supported the fact that he was supported by the gods but the gods had nothing to do with it.
It was all Tyr's doing.
Tyr charged at Sighvatur without a second thought, Sighvatur tried to move but he could feel the muscles in his leg twitch, greatly limiting his evasive options.
Both clashed blades but Sighvatur was the stronger of the two in terms of physical strength so Tyr could not overpower him but Tyr was a dirty fighter.
He spat directly in Sighvatur's eyes to momentarily blind the warrior, and he did just that.
Sighvatur reacted to whatever was in front of him but he felt no body mass, just a sharp pain in his wounded leg as Tyr had stomped it with all his might.
The pain forced him into a defensive reflexive action, and that was his muscles temporarily contracting.
Sighvatur managed to stay on his feet but there was something strange about Tyr's saliva.
It was not just spit, it felt like dirt was mixed in with his spit meaning Sighvatur was left vulnerable.
"Stop! Or my men will kill your brother!" Sighvatur threatened Tyr and Tyr's blade immediately stopped.
"Brother?" Tyr followed Sighvatur's gaze and saw two men standing above the boy, who was now turned to face Tyr.
"Bjorn?"
