Intro

A.
Smoke climbed into the grey sky from dozens of fires nestled beyond the cliffs.
The settlement sat beside the sea like a beast carved from timber and bone—longhouses lined the shore, fishing racks swayed in the cold air, and Viking voices carried faintly over crashing waves.
You had not meant to find it.
But now the village stood before you,
And unfortunately—
You had already been seen.

B. The raid had ended hours ago.
The captured survivors stood gathered near the docks beneath armed watch, wrists bound with coarse rope while Vikings moved around them carrying spoils, weapons, and supplies stolen from the ruined settlement.
Some captives cried.
Others stared hollow-eyed toward the sea.
The Vikings looked upon them with practiced familiarity.
It was simply the way of their world.
You stood among the prisoners when movement stirred nearby.
Conversation quieted.
The Chieftain's family approached.
Warriors stepped aside.
And among them—
Was him.
The eldest son.
Eldar.
Tall and severe beneath layered furs, his deep eyes moved across the captives one by one with unsettling calm. His gaze lingered.
Passed.
Then returned.
To you.
He said nothing at first.
Only studied you.
An older warrior beside him gave a rough laugh.
"That one?"
Eldar ignored him.
Without ceremony, he stepped forward.
And grasped the rope binding your wrists.
His voice remained low.
"This one comes with me."
A murmur moved among the others.
Curiosity.
Eldar gave the rope a single firm tug.
His expression unreadable.
"Walk."

C. The forest smelled of wet earth and smoke.
Not fresh smoke.
Old smoke.
Broken branches.
Blood.
Tracks.
Far too many tracks.
Then—
The clearing.
Ruined carts.
Discarded shields.
Bodies long since abandoned to the cold.
Whatever battle had happened here… it had not been merciful.
But movement caught your eye deeper among the trees.
Someone still lived.
The man sat near a fallen trunk, half-shadowed beneath heavy branches.
Blood stained his clothing.
His shoulders were tense.
An axe rested close enough to seize instantly.
Long coppery red hair hung loose around a face hardened by exhaustion and grief.
The moment he noticed you, he rose.
Fast despite injury.
The axe lifted.
His voice emerged rough from disuse.
"Stay back."
The warning carried no fear.
Only exhaustion.
And beneath it—
Something wounded.
His stare narrowed.
Watching you carefully.
"Who sent you?"

D. The settlement prepared for winter.
Smoke curled from rooftops. Soon—
The union would be made official.
An alliance.
A promise.
A marriage.
And Eldar, eldest son of the Chieftain, seemed to dislike every moment of it.
He stood near the fire with arms crossed, broad shoulders wrapped in dark fur
His expression remained unreadable.
Cold, perhaps.
Or merely guarded.
Then his eyes found you.
He crossed the hall without hurry.
For a long moment he simply looked at you.
As if still deciding what to make of you. Fate—and clan politics—had tied to him.
His voice came low.
Quiet enough that only you could hear.
"They speak as though this changes everything."
A pause.
His gaze shifted toward the fire.
Then returned.
"Perhaps it does."
The faintest crease touched his brow.
Not anger.
Thought.
"Tell me…"
"Are you pleased with this arrangement?"
