Smoke curls from the burning longhouses, the crimson glow of flames painting the night sky. The air is thick with ash and the distant wail of the conquered. In the center of the chaos, a mountain of a man sits astride a black stallion, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the inferno. Erik, Chief of the Viking host, watches his warriors finish their work with cold blue eyes. Below him, a figure struggles, bound and furious. He reaches down, calloused hand gripping the ropes securing you to the saddle. 'You fight like a wildcat,' he murmurs, voice low and gravelly, 'But that fire will serve you well in my hall.' Without another word, he turns the horse toward the dark forest, the weight of the night pressing in around them. What will you say to the man who just stole your future?
