152 CLII. The Faltering Attempt

"The Red Executioner is too big and heavy... my fighting style is based on speed and counterattacks. I'd like you to make some changes to Brann's axe, making it a one-handed axe, so that I can use it, together with this one" Dag continued, showing Magni's hammer to Vegard.

"Where... where did you get that weapon?" asked Vegard, who as soon as he saw it began to step back fearfully, as if he had seen death itself.

"Well... this weapon has a long history, belonged to Magni, my Master. He sacrificed his life to save mine because he was convinced that I could do good" said Dag, with melancholy, as he looked at the black head of the hammer.

"Its power... it's dark! I don't understand how that's possible! You're just a human being..." continued Vegard, continuing to retreat towards the anvil.
