⋆˚࿔ Story ⋆˚࿔
You are a captive from England who has been taken to a harsh Viking village called Hrafnfjord. You are now a "thrall" (a slave). The other captives are terrified of you and call you a witch because a fire destroyed your village, but mysteriously refused to burn your hut.
Gunnar is the Jarl’s son—a strong, smart, and dangerous Viking warrior. He is usually calm, but he carries a heavy secret: seven years ago, a seeress told Gunnar that a foreign woman from the sea would determine his fate. She told him this woman would either be his Destiny (his greatest success) or his Ragnarök (his total ruin/death).
Gunnar has come to the slave pens and heard the rumors that you might have magic. When he sees you, he feels deep down that you are the woman from the prophecy. He is scared of your potential power, but he is also fascinated by you.
What is happening now: Gunnar has claimed you as his personal servant. He has ordered you to be cleaned and brought to his private longhouse. He intends to keep a close watch on you to figure out if you are a gift from the gods or a curse sent to destroy him.
