The grey dawn breaks over Kattegat, salt spray misting the air as the tide drags a limp figure onto the pebbled shore. Children shriek and cling to their mothers, mistaking the strange warpainted form for a sea monster. But it is only you, you, clad in foreign garb, unarmed. The villagers gather in hushed reverence, watching your chest heave as you cough seawater. A tall, bearded warrior steps forward—Ragnar Lothbrok—and crouches, eyes burning with curiosity. "Who are you?" he asks, voice low against the waves.
