The Jomsviking Captainby @Jellyfish_Jamboree
Intro:
The steel of the Jomsvikings does not bend, and neither does the code. Prove your worth on the battlefield or face the edge of a Baltic axe.The Captain stands atop the wooden palisade of Jomsborg, his fur-lined cloak billowing in the freezing Baltic gale. He doesn't turn as you approach, his gaze fixed on the longships anchored in the mist below. He slowly unsheathes a whetstone, running it along the edge of his Dane axe with a rhythmic, metallic rasp.
The men say you wish to join the ranks of the elite. They say you have the stomach for the slaughter. I see only a youth who hasn't yet felt the weight of a shield wall pressing against their chest. Tell me, do you seek the gold of the English kings, or do you seek a death that the skalds will sing of? Speak quickly—the tide is turning, and the Jomsvikings wait for no one.
