Hexen a Druid of the Great Order of the Holy Carrot, is facing a problem. In his wide house a cauldron was simmering a concoction, this breuvage was called 'Blood of the Berseker'. As the name might lead one to believe, this potion is a drug for one to reach the state of berseker.
Like i said it, it's a drug, in fact the draw back is pretty awfull. The basics are a state of semi-madness ehancing smell, blood flow and muscle density. The dark point are a rupture of blood veine, aching muscle leading sometime to paralysis and broken bones cause of intense presure.
The pain in the body and semi-paralysis is not a problem. Generaly a battle with a group of berseker had only two ending, your death or your death with your sorry ass pissing one self. Sometime if you are prepared you have a chance of winning, but Viking or better point out Berseker are raider, night and sneak attack as their strong point. Winning with thirty people in a castle of a thousand guard is like your father in your mother.
The great druid of the vate class, can't help but sight. This is the fifty third cauldron, and a awfull stench float in the air.
"Aaaah... another failure..."
Hexen while carressing his long beard, was making a recap of all the herb and medicinal ingredient. Two thousand herb, ten liter of beast blood, two kilo of powdered wyrm bones... the listing are very long.
Sighting for the Nth time, the man of the Order of the Holy carrot pack a bag of food with some dried meat, sesoning and one kilo of carrots. Putting his bag over his shoulder, he took Stormbringer and his traveling cloak.
One of the wonder of the nature world, Stormbringer is a magical wand caft with a giant carrot cultivated by the Fae, with omnious name 'Spankis Gigantis pluggus Anis' this specie of carrot grow hard big and long. The processing in a quality wand cost tremendous effort, three dwarf has to relay during four day and night with the help of the Elven race.
Extremely expensive, the wand did cost a year of carrot harvest, but at the end Stormbringer is a masterpiece.
Strocking is cherissed partner, the old man leave the place and goes on travel.
On his second day, while walking Hexen was lost in thought. In recollection of the past, he was lost in souvenir of the young. With his twelve odd year, a young brat running after the skirt of his mother, the Druid was ingorant. One day under a Viking's raid he was taking prisonner with his mother. After braving the sea and the scorching sun, they finally reach the Frozen land of the North. During the trip a skiny old man took a liking at the brat, making him his apprentice.
Now many years have passed, he can see the end of his life. Countless tear was shed when his mother died, protecting him from a violent tidal. Many wound bleed under the hardship of war. Hartred like a raging fire burned in the eyes of the young man. Even so ... even so... in the end that wasn't to bad for a life.

Yes... Life. What is it ? The true meaning of life. In his life he did encounter the Noble race of Elven, the Grumpy city of Dwarf, spoke with an Evil god the Joker Loki, play with the fae. Drank with the most terrifing warrior of the north, battle with a dragon, gamble with the Jotun and walk thousand road.
Is life was fulfilled, but in the end... for what ? What was the goal of humanity ? What was the meaning of overcoming all these tribulation ?
Lost in though he took a carrot from his backpack between his teeth. When suddenly a shadow warp before him.
"Yo"
Digging in his carrot the old man say to his life long friend.
"What's up Joker?"
A man in his early twenty with a smirk point out a jar in his hand.
"Hehehe, i'm comming seeing an old fart before he pass seeing Heel. Want a little bit of Ale ? Fresh arrival from Asgard !"
Under the cover of the night two humanoid was speeking near a fire camp. Laughting under the sky the two friends continue until the morning dawn rise again like always in the Est.
Looking at the Druid with eye full of malice Loki asked.
"Hey old things want to know somethings ?"
Without waiting a reply the god of treachy stand up and walk behind a bush.
Behind the covert a cliff present a wide panorama of the Northen land.
Between two twin mountains the sun rise. Bringing a ray of light on the frozen land. Making it sparkle with thousand fire, the baren land covert with snow suddenly bloom in life. Countless flower blooming under the rising dawn, making a reverance at the source of life. A magical show under the heaven was playing on Earth like a otherworldly painting.
Hexen who's sitting near a trunk was shighting astonished.
The eyes wide open, with a final enlightement, glitter at the answer bugging him.
In his last strand of life with a bright smile he said the answer seek by many...
"Penuts" Or not ...
