Chapter 8 – The Guardian of Shadows
The temple had no doors. Only echoes.
Echoes of ancient gods, of forgotten oaths… and of the destiny that breathes beneath the stone.
Eirik faces Dagr the Forgotten, a warrior who no longer belongs to this world.
He does not fight for glory. He fights for himself.
And in every blow he sees his past…
…and a future that terrifies him more than any sword.
But he chooses.
Not vengeance. Not blood. He chooses to be free.
And in doing so, the runes awaken.
The first relic recognizes him.
The real journey has just begun.
