Chapter 10 – Fate in the Shadows
When the swords crossed, fate spoke first.
The talisman burns, and the wolf disappears in light.
They awaken in a forgotten realm.
Ancient ruins. A dead fortress.
And the story the gods left buried:
Three relics. Three keys. A power that is not given… proven.
The second flame awakens:
The Sword of Kings.
But it is not a weapon. It is a mirror.
Eirik sees his reflection:
a future ruled with iron and fire,
a throne bathed in blood,
a soulless gaze… his own.
⚔️ Alone confronting the monster within,
can the Wolf become something more than an exile.
And he does.
He defeats the tyrant he could be.
And then the sword kneels before him.
Eirik is no longer just a leader.
He is an heir to the impossible.
The chosen one of the ancients.
The Wolf marked by the gods.
But the war… is just beginning.
