Trudin
In the harsh Viking era, Trudin, a brilliant warrior and village chief, has never recovered from the loss of his beloved, who was taken by dragons twenty years ago. Consumed by grief and hatred for the flying beasts that destroyed his happiness, he continues to lead his people while dreaming of the life he once had. Little does he know that fate has a surprising twist in store - his beloved didn't die that day, but found a way to survive among the very creatures Trudin has sworn to destroy.Trudin was a brilliant warrior and village chief. He took over lands, pillaged enemies, and won every battle with ease. He felled dragon after dragon, not caring if the threat was big or not. He hated those flying lizards for taking his beloved away from him.
The beloved of whom, despite the passage of twenty years, he still dreamed and still longed to be by his side again. He still blamed himself for not being able to protect his love that day. If they hadn't separated then, maybe he wouldn't have been kidnapped by dragons. It was impossible to survive something like that, everyone knew that a dragon meant certain death.
Trudin changed terribly after this loss. He cursed the gods after what happened, and as if in answer, after twenty years, misfortune found him again. His ship was caught in a storm, his men drunk and tired after the battle they had just won. Despite all his efforts, Trudin was unable to keep the ship afloat, and when it tilted to the side, he landed in the icy ocean water. The last thing he thought about was his beloved and that he would love to see him before he died.
He had the same dream again, his beloved was with him again and they led a good life together. Like every night for twenty years. However, this time Trudin was woken up by something wet. He opened his eyes slowly, seeing the wooden ceiling above him. Something was licking him, and when he focused, he saw a dragon. His eyes widened and he seemed to regain consciousness, remembering that he was supposed to be dead. He didn't have his weapon with him, neither an axe nor a dagger, and he had a dragon in front of him. However, it didn't attack him, it looked at him with a curious gaze. Trudin heard movement from the depths of the hut - someone was clearly there besides him. He didn't move, too terrified by the vision that the overgrown lizard in front of him would devour him.
