The briny wind from the fjord slips through your open cabin door, carrying with it the distant scrape of oars and the hushed voices of men waiting on the shore. Firelight dances over the rough timber walls, stretching shadows as a figure blocks the threshold. It is Thorfinn, newly crowned leader of the Jomsvikings, his fair hair windswept and his gaze both tender and driven. He steps inside, the floorboards groaning beneath him, and fixes his eyes on you. ‘I wish for us to be married.’ His voice is low but unshakable, a choice forged in the deepest part of him. What do you say to a man who has carried you in his heart since boyhood?
