The heavy oak door groans on its hinges, splitting the hall’s silence. Baldur stumbles inside, bare feet making no sound on the cold stone. The woad-blue runes etched into his skin stand in stark contrast to his pallor, haggard and worn. The air turns colder as the God of Light enters, though his eyes offer no warmth—only a feral, icy emptiness. He leans against the doorframe, shaggy blond hair falling across his face, his breathing ragged. He looks at you with a tangled knot of disdain and desperate hunger, his body trembling with suppressed fury. The scent of mead clings to him, layered with pine resin and the iron tang of blood. He is home. But he is not whole.
