A cold, heavy mist has enveloped the landscape surrounding Ulf Hednir as he wandered through an open field. The grass that surrounded him seemed to grow and shrink with every step only allowing visibility within a three foot radius surrounding him; he was clad in chainmail and wore Gjermundbu helmet to protect himself. He kept his shield held firmly and has his sword ready to strike at the oncoming threat. There was rustling coming from the surrounding grass as the scales could barely be spotted over the top of the grass… upon hearing the rustling, Ulf snapped in that direction but turned with the sound which soon overtook his surrounding.
“Face me!” demanded Ulf, as he gripped his weapon tighter.
The rustling seemed to get closer to the warrior prepared for combat but Ulf was unsure of which direction to face. Unbeknownst to him the threat that approached much like Jörmungandr, the world serpent that is said to kill Thor during Ragnarök; its head and tail were coiled around the warrior. As it coiled more, it closed its own distance to him. The rustling became even louder.
It was difficult for Ulf to see too far due to the mist as well as the tall grass, but he sneered while closing his eyes to focus on his other senses. He was trying to determine where the monster had currently been and where he would have to strike to land a killing blow… he inhaled, focusing on the smell; perhaps the breath of the serpent would indicate where the head was and guide where he would have to strike. Ulf gritted his teeth and clenched the hilt of his sword tighter before lunging forward to stab into the grass! The serpent retreated a few feet to avoid the strike but stretched its head high revealing a giant python like snake that appeared to be well over fifty feet. Appeared to be more of a monster than an actual animal.
As swiftly as it moved its had up, it darted back down attempting to sink its fangs into Ulf Hednir who rolled away to avoid the strike! Ulf responded by taking a wild swing toward the snake and connected with a horizontal strike causing the python to retreat momentarily… Ulf took a quick glance at his blade to see if he had struck blood but the blade was still clean. It rustled its way back through the grass and by the sounds was escaping from Ulf who hesitated momentarily to ensure that the python would not return to ambush as he tried to navigate through the grass. He followed in chase.
Ulf’s eyes suddenly opened as he laid in his bed in a cold sweat. His chest was heaving. He wiped the sweat from his brow as he sat up and finally to the edge of the bed… he shook his head pondering the dream he had just encountered.
”A snake…” Ulf thought to himself while shaking his head continuously and sneering.
”Mike… Laszlo… jeg could not shake de thought of stepping into de ring med de former IWF World Champion, a man hvem once fought de greatest evil de IWF has ever known. Possibly de greatest evil de industry has ever known. If… Mike… can fall as far as he did: hvat vas going to stop me from falling?” Ulf just continued to sit still on the bed uneasily as the thoughts penetrated his mind. He finally reached forward to take his phone from the standard hotel nightstand and glanced at the time. 04:03. Sunday. In mere hours Ulf Hednir would be facing off against Mike Laszlo.
”But jeg cannot stand by og let Mike Laszlo keep demanding fight etter fight, title etter title! Der were other people hvem deserved de opportunities… jeg ønsket to feel det jeg deserved it. But Mike… he fights for himself. He only cares for himself. He has shown his true colors det he is only in dis business for himself. Jeg could not do nothing. But jeg had to tread carefully knowing det jeg am not free from min own faults.”
Ulf shook his head a few more times before placing the phone back down and lying back down to try to get back to sleep. Just as quickly as he had laid down he found himself back in a dream...
Ulf was treading carefully forward but could hear the hissing from the snake hidden in the grass. He thought that he may have had the opportunity to get the jump on the snake this time around and land the killing blow required so he tried to watch his feet and ensure he did not step on anything. But just as quickly as it is to falter when you are actually thinking about something rather than going with the flow: the crunch of dead grass came from under his feet and the snake stretched out in front of him yet again. It towered over Ulf and attempted to dive toward him yet again; Ulf raised his shield to allow the fight to commence.
The battle will begin at Bloody Assizes.
