The number of wolves to arrive was quite... underwhelming. He had hoped, perhaps rather foolishly, that all of Yfir might decide to come. Perhaps there would be no work for the healers here after all - though they needed to spectate fights to learn their craft better, as well. It was no surprise at all that Laufey appeared first, commenting that he hadn't fought him yet - perhaps he wanted to? He grinned in return, knowing Laufey would be as worthy an opponent as any. Hárekr arrived after him, followed by Lyndvarr. His grin widened at how eager everyone seemed to be, at the prospect of training - and he chuckled heartily, quite different than his usual snicker. In Yfir, he found purpose, and his mania could be calmed if only briefly. For his gods. And for his kin. "I am doing better now that the few of you decided to join me," the one-eyed brute spoke honestly, though his voice was tinged with excitement he found no need to contain. Bernadette came next, and finally Katja, who earned a simple nod from him. He had not called this meeting to impress her, though she seemed curious as to his plans. "Now," he would began quickly, not caring for formalities - he was fine with diving right in. "You are all survivors. You know how to fight. We do not need to discuss the basics." Some, more than others. They did not have to be coddled and taught simple defenses and attacks. These things, they knew, and if they did not? They would learn quickly. "I'd like to briefly tell you about berserkers before we begin. The warriors of Odin, the oldest of the gods, were not your typical fighters. They were fanatically devoted to him. They fought with no abandon and no hesitation." It was not at all unlike how Kapra fought - often abandoning all need for calculated actions, attacking with a relentless fury instead. "Today, you will fight like they did. You will not resist your enemy's attacks. You will take them, and use them to fuel your rage and your passion." It was a dangerous way of fighting, but could be an effective one when cultivated properly. "You will not flinch from the pain or try to avoid one another's teeth - you will only strike, again and again, until one of you forfeits." He'd eye the few that stood before him, wondering if they would find his method of fighting silly - though he knew it was anything but. Yet it likely sounded crazed, coming from this one-eyed, tailless brute. But they were Vikings, or were learning to be part of his and Katja's culture, and they would surely appreciate his methods even if they chose not to follow them completely. "I will fight Laufey. Bernadette and Harekr will fight, and Lyndvarr and Katja will fight. Whoever moves quickest will begin." And that was that. He'd step away from the others, offering a fair bit of room for the spars, turning to grin widely at Laufey as he followed. |
