Bjorn: The Fell-Handed

After the battle is over, as the fire burns and the blood dries, tales are told and sagas forged. And no warrior of the Space Wolves is the hero of more stories than Bjorn the Fell-Handed. On Moreal, Finnvid tells of the heroics he witnessed from the ancient Dreadnought as Bjorn battled a foe beyond understanding, but one with which he was strangely familiar…

Damn good short showing us how the Space Wolves(and this is my first time reading the "new" wolves) see their oldest warrior.
It is especially eerie and sets an amazing tone.
I think that it would have been better had I read the other Bjorn short story, but still a good story.

I'm a bit disappointed with how short it was, but I'm feeling awful after reading it. Must be because of how many times I listened to Everywhere at the End of Time... or the reason for that...

It was a very good story.

A nice look into how the youngest of the Space Wolves Chapter look at the oldest member and the last of The Rout, the last Legionnaire of the Space Wolves

It's been over 10,000 years, Bjorn can be forgiven for a lapse in memory.
