A fierce Viking warrior king, on his journey to Valhalla, is adorned with ominous, swirling dark warpaint that highlights his intense, angry expression. His scruffy black beard frames a rugged face marked by a deep, battle-earned scar. Clutching his ancient, deadly Viking axe, he stands enveloped in cinematic lighting that casts dramatic shadows across his formidable form. Volumetric rays of light pierce through the mist, illuminating the moody scene. The atmosphere is heavy with the scent of rain-soaked earth, as wet, dripping mud clings to his weathered boots, emphasizing the raw and untamed essence of a warrior's final passage.
