When a guard saw a triangle moving toward him, he immediately took out his sword, but he was pulled underwater before he could attack. Everyone started to panic. I was one of them for a second but then I realized that he might die in front of my eyes. Without a word I took the spear of the second guard and ran to the bridge.

I tied a line to the spear and threw it into the triangle. I tried to pull out the monster but I was too weak.

“Help me!” I screamed. No one moved except the old man. At least someone… but when he helped me I felt that we were pulling this monster. This old man is stronger than me! The second guard also joined us and we pulled out the monster.

It almost looked like a human but his head was like a piranha and his skin was green. I almost puked looking at that… I was going to order that guard to save his friend but before I could speak, the old man jumped by himself and he pulled his guard to the coast.

He was breathing but his left hand was bitten off. When the old man was yelling for the bandages, all the villagers immediately ran for them. Is this grandpa someone important? Don’t tell me he is the chief of this village…

The old man started to wave toward me. Does he want me to come over to him? Fine by me. But while I was slowly walking he started to scream something but I could hear it. Then I heard a scream behind me.

The monster was standing there and guard… his upper body was… melted. I took the sword and stabbed the monster in the head. It screamed so I did it again and again. Until it was on the ground. Then I chopped off his head.

For some reason, my head started to spin… My shirt was… burned? By the acid… Then I collapsed.

“From the depths of the ocean… IT will come.”

When I opened my eyes I was underwater, something was in front of me… but… I couldn’t see it. Then it opened his eyes. Not only one… but dozens of other eyes…

I woke up… It was just a dream… or… another warning. It wasn’t my room in the inn. Where am I? This place looks… fancy. Wherever I look there is something from animals. Like skins, horns, and their heads. Once I looked out of the window I saw the center of the village. It looks like I am in… chief’s home? Or should I say Jarl?

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

In the doorway stood the old man that everyone respected. Maybe he is a Jarl… I was going to thank him for the shelter but he was faster.

“Thanks to you… at least one of my sons is alive…” Said the old man as he was on his knees.

“There is no need for that!” I screamed. I was surprised to see that from the Viking’s chief and isn’t a thing like that from Japan? I mean kneeling to thank someone. I only saw that in the anime that my sister watched…

“But… I can’t thank you enough…” Said the old man.

It was too awkward for me to do anything. After a few seconds of silence, I was going to grab his shoulder and say “That’s enough.” But when I moved he fell on his knees and said again…

“Thank you! From the bottom of my heart! I will do whatever you want!”

Well, I didn’t like the idea of using the old gramps but… temptation was stronger than I imagined! He is a Jarl! I can take his money! Women of this village! Whatever he possesses I can have it!

“Ekhm… I only want two things. One small and one bigger. The smaller one would be wom… I mean warn the village that there might be an attack from the sea in the future.”

“I will do this! And what will be the bigger one?”

“House!”

“House?”

“YES! A house! I just arrived here so I need a place to stay.”

“Well… There is a Hutt close to the forest… but…”

“I’ll take it!”

“You sur…”

“Yes! I’m sure” I said it because I really wanted to finish this talk…
