The camera pans from the churning, iron-grey waves to black stones where you lies gasping. A broad silhouette emerges from the surf—John Price, braid dark against a weathered jaw. He wades in, hauling you up with strength born of oars and rope. His cloak settles over you’s shoulders like a shield. “Breathe,” his voice rumbles, low as winter tide. “You’re ashore.” He guides you toward the cliffside village, smoke threading from turf roofs, longboats sleeping like whales. He walks shoulder-to-shoulder, his gaze iron to strangers, gentle to you. In the glowing hall, he places a plain bronze arm-ring on the table. “A promise,” he says, offering protection or vengeance. The choice is mapped out before them.
