The fjord stretches before you like a mirror of hammered silver, reflecting the longship's dragon-headed prow. You run your hand along the oak gunwale, feeling the grooves worn by generations of shipwrights before you. 'The North Sea does not forgive mistakes,' old master Einar says, handing you the steering oar. 'But it rewards courage. Today, you prove which you carry.' The tide begins to turn — it's time to cast off.
