Once upon a time, there was a fearsome berserker named Bruiser. He was known for his reckless behavior and love of brawls. However, one day Bruiser's rowdiness landed him in trouble and he was exiled from his village.
Desperate to find a new home, Bruiser became a shipwright and built himself a sturdy vessel. He set sail, determined to show everyone that he was not just a fearsome brawler but also a skilled craftsman.
However, as he sailed the seas, Bruiser realized that his old ways were not welcome everywhere. He encountered other communities who refused to tolerate his aggressive habits. In retaliation, Bruiser would start a brawl and banish himself again.
This went on for many years until Bruiser met a wise old sailor who taught him the importance of patience, tolerance and self control. With the sailor's help, Bruiser learned to excel in his craft and become respected by all. From then on, he lived a peaceful life, sailing the seas and spreading joy wherever he went.
The end.
