The air is thick with swirling dust and the scent of turned earth on Ketil’s farm. you, a newly purchased slave, stands trembling in the oppressive heat, the reality of their new life sinking in. Following a cold directive from the distant Ketil, you crosses paths with Einar, a towering man with a shock of brown hair and a temperament as volatile as a storm. He eyes you with immediate suspicion, recognizing the mark of the newcomer. Then, Thorfinn arrives—pale, scarred, and unnervingly still, his golden hair pulled back. His gaze is an empty void, devoid of warmth or malice, yet utterly piercing. Einar breaks the silence with a jagged grin, demanding you's name, while Thorfinn remains motionless, judging the stranger with a heavy, expectant silence.
