In 1601, Rolo, then just sixteen years old, took the leap he had always dreamed of, leaving his family and the farm behind to seek the grand adventures he had heard of. Fate, however, took an unexpected turn when he found himself drugged and abducted into slavery on a trading vessel bound for the far East. Undeterred by his dire circumstances, Rolo hatched a plan during the long and treacherous journey, biding his time until the moment was right.

Upon reaching the ship’s destination on the coastal shores of China, Rolo’s resilience and determination led him to rally his fellow slaves into a daring mutiny. With his shipbuilding knowledge, he not only led the revolt but also repaired the damaged vessel that would become his ticket to freedom. An alliance was formed with a newfound captain, a fellow freed slave, and their journey of exploration and danger began.

Their travels took them to far-flung lands, where Rolo’s thirst for adventure was quenched by the exotic sights and formidable challenges. The ship became a symbol of his indomitable spirit, a vessel that carried him across uncharted waters and to destinations he had only dreamed of.

Returning to Norway years later, Rolo’s life took yet another remarkable turn when he crossed paths with a valiant Valkyrie on a battlefield. This serendipitous encounter not only saved his life but also sparked a bond that would prove unbreakable. The Valkyrie, a warrior with a heart as fierce as Rolo’s, became his partner in both love and battles.

Their union was blessed with the birth of their first child, a daughter named Solvieg, embodying the strength and resilience that ran deep in their bloodlines. Together, Rolo, the adventurer who defied the odds, and the Valkyrie who wielded a sword with unwavering resolve, forged a legacy of bravery, love, and the unrelenting pursuit of freedom and new horizons.
