Synopsis

Arak recalls an adventure when he was still a Viking raider. He wanted to marry Amber, but a rival also wanted her, so Ottar declared that he would give Amber to whomever brings him a chunk of real amber as big as her head. Arak ends up finding a huge mound of amber with a woman being sacrificed on it by barbarians. He rescues her, but the pile of amber becomes a dragon, and Arak needs the help of the woman, Dziewona, to defeat it. She rewards Arak with the amber he needs, but Arak is horrified when he returns home. Ottar had died, and Amber has been slain to accompany him to the underworld.
