- Björn, I know you've had a pretty long journey, "said the magician, looking Björn in the eye and ending his narration." Probably what I'm telling you is a small part ... But when you're ready I'll reveal the rest of everything you lived through. before getting here. Maybe you are remembering things from your past life. From now on you will face different feats, Challenges that will demand much more from you. You are not yet ready for the missions that I am going to entrust you, so I am going to do a test mission to know your skills and see what you are made of. - The sorcerer ends his speech and snaps his fingers.
Everything began to cloud for Björn. He began to fall into an everlasting, embracing darkness. Björn closes his eyes and when he opened them he was on a floor with black and red tiles, it looked like a chessboard. A corridor with walls that have a meter of distance between them, the corridor is gigantic and very long, it is so long that you could not see what is at the end, you only saw dense darkness. The hallway walls have a red tapestry with small yellow diamond-shaped details. The hallway has black metal lamps in the Gothic style, the light coming out of those lamps has a mixture of colors, a combination of orange and red.
Björn starts walking down the hall. He wants to ask the magician more about his mission but since he gave him no alternative he accepted reality and continued walking the infinite corridor. After having walked for a while he finds a door on the left side of the hall. The door is dark wood with a black handle. Björn approaches the door and begins to open it, as soon as she pushes the door a little, a squeak sounds. he enters the room. It is a room with the same decoration as the corridor. The only thing in the room is a trunk.
Björn walks over to the trunk, stands on his right knee, and opens the trunk. Inside the trunk there was a shield and Viking ax, there are also some comfortable leather boots.
Björn takes everything in the trunk and equips it, the shield in the left hand and the ax in the right. Since there was nothing else in the room he returns to the hall.
This equipment was not given to me as a gift, most likely a battle awaits me. I don't remember my training so I will go with my instincts. Björn thought.
The young warrior is so sure of himself that he assures that he will emerge victorious from that battle that awaits him. He thinks his abilities are going to emerge spontaneously.
Björn continues to walk down the endless corridor when he suddenly hears another click. What used to be a corridor now became a gigantic room, so big that the background could not be seen, the only light was visible that illuminated the center of the room, that light came from a giant light swallow that is on the ceiling, Through it, you could see a beautiful full moon, which was the one that caused the light that illuminates the room.
Björn stands in the middle of the circle of light and prepares for what is to come. He knows that long-awaited battle has come, so he took his shield tightly and squeezed the handle of his ax. He is ready to face his enemy and show her all that he is capable of.
I am a warrior by nature, no enemy can against me and I will prove it to the magician. Odin is on my side. Björn thought.
Suddenly a giant claw comes out of the depths of darkness. Björn is shocked, he thought that his fight would be against a warrior, not against a giant beast.
Little by little the great beast comes out of the darkness. It is a giant reptile approximately 10 meters long and 2 meters high. The reptile's scales are black, it has a double row of purple rhomboid plates that rise vertically from the head to the end of its back, huge claws, gigantic yellow fangs, eyes red like blood itself. In conclusion, he could devour Björn in one bite.
When Björn saw that abysmal beast, he was totally surprised and scared, so much so that he took several steps back. He knows that he cannot strike the first blow, he has to first analyze that beast so that he can then attack and not be eaten.
The beast sensing Björn's presence begins to walk towards him, in a very slow and gentle way as he sticks out his forked tongue. It moved like a predator stalking his prey.
Claws that were the size of a knife appear out of the gloom, then the arm of the beast, full of scales black as night, appears. The more that animal came out of the darkness, the more its red eyes were full of bloodlust. His body is full of scales as hard as iron. The long, giant tail peeked out from the end of that great beast. Its fangs are so large that they could easily pierce a human's chest. Björn knows that at this moment, this Test has to show everything he can do and how strong he is, but he also knew that if he made a wrong move, it would all be over. That giant reptile had a voracious hunger, it moved slowly, caressing the ground with its claws.
Björn was afraid since he did not know that in his first mission he would face a giant monster. He instinctively places himself in a combat position, he is ready to start combat. A chill runs from her ankles to the back of her neck.
A few seconds passed where Björn and the beast looked directly into each other's eyes, waiting for one of them to make the first attack. The tension could be felt in the air.
Because of the shape of his muzzle, I can't attack from the front, I have to find a way to make lateral attacks, how to kill this beast? thinks Björn thinks. Björn thought.
He has to plan a good strategy because due to carelessness the beast can devour him in one bite. Björn quickly moved to the left, however, the reptile began to understand that his prey was not as weak as it looked. Björn kept approaching from the left. At that moment the beast broke the silence, it was heard how the beast digs its claws into the ground to gain momentum. The beast began to run forward with all its might. Björn without hesitation tried to dodge it, however, the beast is stronger and faster, almost biting its head off. Thanks to Björn's quick reflexes he was able to defend himself, he locked his shield in the jaws of that animal. At this time the young Viking had to think very fast, he knew that that wooden shield was not going to last long. With a single movement of the head the beast threw Björn five meters away, he was thrown on the ground. The shield was still between the beast's jaws, he jerked his head sideways to try to pry the shield out of his snout.
Björn knew that he had to attack as an escape is not an option right now. I take advantage of the fact that the beast is vulnerable while he removes his shield, he could not defend himself very well, or at least he thought that.
He nimbly moved to the sides of that reptile, placed himself on the left side of its head away from its snout and close to its eye. With a quick, strong swing of his ax, she stabbed it in his eye, causing him to bleed and lose his vision on that side. That only infuriated the monster more. With a transverse flick of his tail, he pushed Björn away from his side. The blow was so strong that it would kill an ordinary human being, but Björn is tougher than he looks. The monster managed to remove the shield from its teeth, becoming more and more enraged. The beast's face is full of blood from the loss of his left eye, and with what little vision he had left he tried to charge the warrior. Björn, seeing that, jumped to the right, with what little energy he has left and unable to catch his breath after that blow he received. He tried to get to the right side of the beast to remove its other eye and render it blind. However Björn was not agile enough to do that, because his left arm was caught between the gigantic teeth of that monster, never in his life had Björn felt so much pain, he felt like hundreds of spears buried in his left arm. The young warrior felt his muscles being torn and his bones crushed.
Despite all the pain that Björn feels, she seized the moment and buried his ax with great force and despair in the beast's right eye, leaving her blind. That enraged monster tore the arm from Björn's body and with another movement hit Björn's body with its head, causing Björn to be thrown a few meters.
Björn was about to lose consciousness an adrenaline rush made him wake up. Having lost his left arm he had less chance of winning and was also beginning to lose blood. Björn knew that thanks to his blood loss he didn't have much time, but he thought that the beast was distracted and also disoriented from having completely lost his sight and thus he would have a better chance of beating her.
Now he can only smell me and hear. Björn thought. So he took one of his boots and threw them to the left side of the beast. She felt the smell and the noise moving but she still doubted a little, the beast stayed still waiting for some movement noise. Finally, after a few seconds, she decided to move to where the boot had fallen. Björn had decided to stay still until he was at a more favorable time.
The beast reached where the boot is, it was time for Björn to attack from behind and end this once and for all. What he did not consider is that the monster had several senses left.
Adrenaline begins to flow through Björn's body. The monster noticed that this is not the true location, it was just a distraction, so the beast began to use its other senses.
Björn's plan was useless, so she had a few seconds to think about her next move. He made up his mind that he would attack head-on, he's cornered so he has no choice.
The monster quickly turned around and he decided to go the other direction where he suspected Björn was. The Viking began to feel a fear that ran throughout his body, he had never felt so much fear, his skin bristled and he began to sweat cold, his entire body trembles.
Björn was filled with courage and began to move despite his fears, the monster noticed that Björn started running towards him, and without thinking twice he also started going towards Björn.
The young warrior, despite being full of fear, has a good strategy in mind. He ran straight toward the beast, causing it to become confident. When Björn was right in front of his snout I jumped on top of him and fell on top of his head. Björn without hesitation 2 times jumped momentum and thrust his ax with ravenous force into the beast's head. Björn thought that that was a weak point and with that blow, he was going to culminate the battle, but even though he used all his strength he only scratched the surface of the hard skin of the beast.
Björn was shot out by a head movement the monster made. The warrior fell a few feet from the giant animal.
Desperate for the endless battle he was having, Björn tried to replicate the same boot technique, he threw the other boot with all his might to the right side of the beast, however, the monster realized that the same situation had been replicated a few years ago. the moment so he did not move from his place. Since she is blind, he used his other senses to become aware of his presence. Björn is releasing that smell of fear, sweat, and fresh blood into the air. The beast used his nose, his breathing grew stronger. He used his long, forked tongue to feel the blood in the air. The beast turned its head and despite being blind, Björn felt that gaze penetrate his soul.
