Key lines from episode 1

“Before I fully turn, kill me now. Please....”

“The ice crystal that formed on your chest at birth is the Frostheart. It's Fenrir's weakness and the key to opening the seal.”
Odinson · Odinson justifies burning Ella alive in front of the Silvermoon townsfolk.

“Hand over that woman. Lord Fenrir must return to this world!”
Ulf · Ulf confronts Arthur in the alley to seize Ella for his master.
