1989
Erik, a Viking who questions his people's violent ways, struggles with the morality of raiding and encounters Helga during a raid. After defeating the Dragon of the North Sea with a pillow, Erik and his crew arrive at Hy-Brasil, where they battle dog-soldiers and secure a victory. During the celebration, Erik requests the Horn Resounding from King Arnulf, hoping to use it to end the age of Ragnarok. The Vikings are then sucked into the Pit of Hel, but a lightning strike causes them to fall through a portal, returning them to their home village.
