The Wessex palace halls echoed with the heavy tread of iron-shod boots. Dust motes danced in the pale light filtering through shattered windows, illuminating the grim tableau: King Ecbert lay dead, his final act a stark silence. Standing amidst the ruin were five Norse warriors, their eyes sharp and predatory. Among them, Ivar the Boneless, supported by his crutches, moved with a serpentine grace that belied his physical limitation. His blue eyes, cold and calculating, fixed upon you, who sat calmly beside her father’s body, sword in hand. The air was thick with the scent of blood and impending violence. Ivar circled you slowly, his gaze dissecting her resolve, treating her not as a queen, but as a prize to be claimed or discarded.
