QUEST 1: THE VIKING VILLAGE
Synopsis:
A violent storm has been raging off the Northern coast for several days already. Thorgal Aegirsson, on his way home to his island and family, has had to seek refuge in a Viking village. The seas are extremely stormy, so much so that he must wait out the tempest before continuing on his way.
A mysterious old man arrives at the village,
claiming to be a magician and soothsayer with the ability to see the future.
Thorgal, gazing into a mirror, is aghast to see himself killing his son Jolan
with a deadly arrow.
Thorgal believes he knows the significance of this incredible vision: someone
is going to impersonate him and attempt to kill his son. The hero then decides
to brave the dangers of the nearby forest, as he opts for this route, in an
attempt to return home as quickly as possible.

Synopsis:
The hero was saved from drowning by the timely
intervention of the old man with the mirror. Thanks to his magical powers, the
soothsayer transported Thorgal to Between Two Worlds, a place existing outside
of time and space.
The old man tells Thorgal why he saved him: he has a favor to ask of him. He
would like Thorgal to kill him.
The magician tells his story. But Thorgal categorically refuses: he has never
before killed a man who was not a mortal danger to him.
Faced with the hero\'s refusal, the magician disappears, leaving Thorgal alone
in the place known as Between Two Worlds.
While exploring this desolate place, Thorgal meets the Guardian of the Keys,
she who guards the passages between the universes. She warns Thorgal: the old
magician has become dangerous. The hero is not far from thinking that the
immortal will transform himself to look like him and kill his son. He asks the
Guardian to send him back to Mitgard. Saddened, the Guardian tells Thorgal
that she cannot grant his request: he is presently between two worlds, i.e.,
between what exists and what does not. To return to Mitgard, Thorgal must find
his existence, his destiny. He must first find two keys and join them
together. Then, before being able to take the road to Mitgard, he will need to
prove his worthiness.

RUNES GAME PUZZLE (LIMITED TIME)
How it works: the game consists of getting rid of the runes randomly drawn at
the start of the game by rebuilding a precise set of runes; it is possible to
hinder one\'s opponent by replacing the runes in his game. If Thorgal beats
the Angel three times, he obtains the Silver gag. If he is beaten three times,
he becomes a prisoner forever in the land of shadows (Game over). Possibility
of playing without stakes in order to practice. The time limit corresponds to
a limited number of draws.

and a pontoon is Maleb, the fisherman Noral had spoken to him about.
Maleb has, in fact, seen Noral quite recently: he was apparently on his way to
some nearby island…
Alas, Maleb cannot bring Thorgal to the island, his boat having run aground on
the reef a few days before… The fisherman, at the present time, has no vessel.
Thorgal remembers the toy he was given by the small boy from the ship… and the
gift from Alianne. He places the miniature boat on the water\'s surface, and

QUEST 10: THORGAL\'S ISLAND
Synopsis:
Thorgal finally arrives on his island. Time is of
the essence: he knows that the immortal has been there before him. He finds
his son sleeping on the rocks. Awake, the child tells the tale of an old man
who came and spoke to him. The young boy gradually fell asleep as he listened
to his voice… Before drifting off, he had a strange vision, where he saw
himself appear in front of his eyes, holding a knife and murmuring the same
sentence over and over: "She will die if I cannot die."
Thorgal thinks back to the vision of the mirror… Behind his falling son is the
wife he loves. From his son\'s hand falls a knife. Thorgal then realizes that
his wife, and not his son, is the one in danger.
The hero has very little time in which to act. He runs towards his house, bow
in hand. He arrives just in time to see the immortal, bearing the features of
his son, getting ready to kill his unsuspecting wife.
At the last possible moment, Thorgal nocks an arrow and fires. The arrow flies
through the air and cuts the strap of the pendant. The pendant falls to the
ground and breaks. The magician collapses.
The immortal regrets having had to act in this manner, but he had no choice.
Thorgal replies that he sentenced himself by choosing to wear the pendant.
Thanks to the strength of the love of the young woman, intact beyond the
shadows, the unfair punishment inflicted by Odin has finally come to an end.
The old man dies and his body turns to dust.
Thorgal has been successful: he has saved his family and helped the immortal,
while remaining true to his beliefs. All is well
