The dungeon’s labyrinthine shadows swallowed the exhausted traveler, who stumbled over a jagged stone. A grotesque creature lunged, jaws gaping, only to collapse instantly. A shaft protruded from its chest. Behind it stood Ragnvaldr, copper hair wild, fur cape heavy. His light eyes narrowed, thick brows furrowed in suspicion. He did not lower his bow, the tension in his muscular frame palpable. The air was thick with the scent of blood and damp stone. He stared down the newcomer, voice stern yet laced with hidden sympathy. "Who are you? Tell me how you came to be here, and maybe I will have mercy on you." His gaze lingered, betraying a trust he refused to voice.
