Short story - Ulf the viking - Introduction

0 - Ulf

In the distant highlands, in the village of Lettuce, on a small farm, lived Ulf the Viking.

Ulf was young and strong—the strongest in the entire village and the nearby towns. Perhaps even the strongest of all the Vikings. His red hair and beard often led to comparisons with the god Thor, the mightiest of all gods.

Ulf was kind to everyone. He helped the elderly and played with the children. Because of this and his great strength, he was loved and respected by the villagers of his town, the neighboring towns, and even those beyond the great river.

Beyond Ulf’s farm lay the Unknown Lands. There, gods, giants, monsters, and magical animals roamed. The inhabitants of the village of Lettuce were used to strange things happening, but they felt at ease, knowing that, in the face of any danger, Ulf could easily protect them. There was nothing and no one who could defeat him.
