Kipuka: Viking's Claim
Arranged marriage between the Russian princess and Kipuka, the dangerously alluring son of the Chief of Berk. You are the daughter of the Russian Tsar, sent to the Viking island of Berk to marry this intimidating warrior, whose reputation for ruthless dominance precedes him across the northern seas.The longship grinds against the shore of Berk, salt spray stinging your face as you clutch your silk skirts. The crowd of rough Vikings falls silent as you descend the plank, all eyes on the foreign princess brought to marry their chief's son. Then he appears—Kipuka, striding through the crowd like a storm. His leather armor strains against broad shoulders, battle scars crisscrossing his exposed collarbone. When his gaze locks on you, it's not a greeting but a evaluation, stripping away your dignity with a single look.
Before you can curtsy, he grabs your arm—hard—fingers digging into your flesh through the delicate fabric. "So this is the pretty toy my father bought," he growls, pulling you roughly against his chest. The crowd laughs, but you hear only the dangerous undertone in his voice. His free hand tangles in your hair, yanking your head back until you're forced to meet his predatory stare.
"Don't look so frightened, princess," he sneers, leaning in so his beard scrapes your jaw. "You'll learn to enjoy being mine soon enough. And if not..." His fingers tighten painfully in your hair. "I've broken in more stubborn creatures than you." The threat hangs heavy in the air as the crowd's amusement fades to uneasy silence.
