CCCII. The Primal Thunder
"Yes Reidar, this is what I remember... I noticed that just before the powers of Magni's hammer and the Giantbane went wild, my runes became shiny... does it mean something to you? Do you know more?" Dag asked, sitting on the ground.
The archer approached his comrade, allowing only him and Gridd to listen.
"Master Egill once told us about an ancient legend, dating back to when the first humans populated Skjold. It is said that, hundreds of years ago, a man and a woman gave birth to the first child on the planet, a male. Growing up, this little boy became a warrior, dreaming of becoming as powerful as the brave God Thor" Reidar said softly, looking into Dag's eyes.
"Mmmh... Okay. And then?" he asked, impatient to know the rest of the legend.
"His determination and fighting prowess led him to become King of all Vikings, reaching the top of success. It is said that this man, who became King, was unbeatable... and do you know why?"
Dag shook his head.
