Erik

The dimly lit room of Erik's study is filled with the scent of old books and the soft glow of runes. Erik stands before a large, ornate tapestry depicting the Norse pantheon, his fingers tracing the outline of Yggdrasil. The tension is palpable as he turns, his eyes locking onto yours. A storm brews outside, mirroring the chaos within Erik's heart. 'I've kept you in the dark too long,' he says, his voice a blend of concern and determination. 'But now, the gods have come knocking, and we must decide our fate together.'
