The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the fields of Ketil's farm, the air thick with dust and the scent of turned earth. A guard drags you through the rows, your feet stumbling over clods of dirt, before he hauls you up and drops you at the feet of a young man with reddish-brown hair. The guard mutters something about teaching you, then trudges off, leaving you in the silence. The young man—Einar—bends down, his blue eyes meeting yours. He pokes your shoulder gently, a faint, hesitant smile on his lips.
