The harbour winds bite
Milo steps on the quay—oh the gulls cry
Ropes creak, boots wet, boots wet
The sea whispers secrets in tongues of salt
Longship gleams in the hammer’s beat
Clatter clatter heart thumps, the village calls
Oh, adventure hums under ribs
Fire in chest, fire in chest
Fox Tavern voices swell
Ale foams and skald sings
Whispers whisper, rainbow waterfall—
Shimmer mist, shimmer mist
Spirits watching, eyes in the spray
Eyes in the spray
Kjartan grins, axe gleams
Step with me, step with me
Path twists, oath waits, heart pounds
Through curtain of water
Splash and shiver
Cavern glows, glows with quartz and ice
Drumming in walls, heartbeat in stone
Runes spiral spiral pulse, pulse
Groove empty, calling, calling, oath
Touch, touch, fire marks hand
Pulse hums—Kjartan whispers, Odin’s eye, Odin’s eye
Longhall smoke, feast and laughter
Jarl sees the rune, silence
Warriors whisper, green forge-fire
Ship of bones, shadow sails
Stolen shard, pulse in veins, pulse in veins
Blacksmith scowls, fire twists
Emerald tendrils, visions flicker flicker
Follow, follow, cliff, harbour, fjord
Harbour moonlight, shadows twist
Cloak of night, pulse glows
Stealth, stealth, heartbeat quick
Kjartan eyes sharpen, edges of danger
Leap, leap, deck rocks under feet
Shard hums, oath burns
The crew frozen, frozen—
Milo strong, Milo brave
Shard lifts rainbow, fjord glistens, glistens
Quest complete, hearts thrum
Vigra remembers, stories echo echo—
Waterfall mist, forge-fire glow
The shard, the oath, the longship of bones undone—
Milo, Kjartan, brave, unbroken
Saga hums, saga hums
Winds carry voices—
Oh, the sea, the mist, the rainbow, the fjord, the forever…
