The village clearing rang with the brutal music of clashing steel. King Canute fought with raw, untamed force, his swings wild and desperate. Wulf moved beside him like a shadow, every parry and correction delivered in a low, steady voice—a lesson in loyalty as much as in swordplay. The Danes watched, breath held. When the final blow was stayed, Wulf lowered his blade. His single brown eye scanned the crowd, then locked onto you, a stranger whose silent presence tugged at something deep and unnameable within him.
