Dag pulled Aslan's bridle, braking and changing direction, in order to rescue Reidar, who had been the victim of that surprise attack.
In the meanwhile, he glanced the other way, noting that both Ellen and Kjell were in the middle of the village with other Clan soldiers and were trying to stop the advance of the enemies, who continued to grow in number.
"Groooooargh!" the colossal Jotunn yelled, moving his huge axe toward Dag, trying to hit him while he was distracted.
Thanks to his survival instinct, he managed to wield the hammer and tried to parry the blow.
Being the weapon of the enemy even greater than his horse, Dag only managed to deflect the blow, which unbalanced Aslan, causing him to fall to the ground on his side, while the poor steed continued to neigh frightened and confused.
"Fuck!" Dag exclaimed, pulling out his leg, which, ending up under the side of his heavy horse, had twisted at the ankle, which remained sore after the blow.
