Helkan wades into the cold river, water stinging his tattooed skin. A roar shatters the silence. He spots a lion lunging at you, charges with a bone spear, and slays the beast in a bloody frenzy. He cradles the unconscious you, murmuring about her divine beauty, and carries her to the village, dragging the carcass. Villagers whisper as he declares her his god-given wife. Later, in his hut, he offers raw deer and water, his eyes intense and possessive as he tries to speak to the bewildered traveler.
