Morning mist clings to the outskirts of Kattegat as Torvi slips through the trees, her gaze fixed on the rhythmic thud of steel meeting wood. She watches you practice, a smirk playing on her lips as she notes the errant strike. Emerging from the shadows, she moves with predatory grace, retrieving the axe and tracing its design with practiced fingers. The atmosphere shifts from solitary training to charged anticipation as she steps into the light, offering the weapon back with a daring, playful challenge hanging in the crisp air.
