Reversal

But never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that he would be facing children, causing him not to hold back the slightest bit in killing his opponents.

"What a mess" Scratching her hair wearily, Wrath turned to Christian and commented "We'll change your room, this one will have to be cleaned."

"Whatever" Closing his eyes, Christian inhales deeply and sighs, then picks up his bags and walks towards the exit "Let me know any news, I'll be in the room on the other side."

"Okay."

Walking to the other room, Christian walks through the door and sets his bags aside, then looks at the blood stains on his suit and bites his lips.

Shaking his head, Christian walks to the bathroom and takes a quick shower, then lies down on the bed and lights another cigarette.

"What a shitty night" Turning his gaze to the window, Christian took a deep puff and muttered.

***

"Are you sure you're okay?" looking at Christian with concern, Emily asked.

"Yeah, easy" Smiling slightly, Christian turned his gaze back to the car window.

After a restless night in which Christian couldn't sleep a wink, the day came to shoot the series.

The trip to the filming set is not as long as Christian expected, having to travel about 20 minutes and no more.

But the one who seems to be having the hardest time right now is Emily, who hasn't stopped blaming herself for not being there last night when the worst happened, all thanks to her drunkenness that left her in an unperturbed state.

Turning his gaze to Natasha, Christian watched her for a few seconds and commented "It's a relief to see you today, I thought you wouldn't get out of bed today either".

Blushing with embarrassment as she drove, Natasha coughed to lighten the mood and replied "My body was so sore, I think I caught a cold."

"Yes?" smiling slightly, Christian asked.

"Yes."

Since Christian had sex with Natasha, she didn't show any signs of life the next day, causing Christian to have to check on her more than once and even bring her food.

The albino's problem was simple, she couldn't feel her legs due to the intense pleasure that practically fucked her brain, causing her to have the obligation to stay wandering all day long.

Needless to say, after that night where Natasha had dozens of climaxes in just a few minutes, every look she gives Christian has a little hidden lust in her eyes, something that would surely amuse him if it wasn't for his lousy mood.

"We've arrived."

After a few more minutes of driving, Christian finally arrived at an area gated off by two security guards, who automatically gave him passage to enter the set.

Driving down the dirt roads, Natasha finally arrived at the filming location and turned off the vehicle.

"Get my stuff and see if you can make me a coffee. Emily, you're coming with me."

"Mn."

Getting out of the vehicle, Christian stretched his tense muscles and looked around.

The area where the series is filmed is quite nice. Nature everywhere with large forests surrounding everything, while in the central part and what caught Christian's eye the most, is a large estuary that connects to the sea hundreds of meters away, the typical place where the Viking ships traveled in the series.

Giant cliffs bordered everything, fog covered every peak, while on the film set several obviously improvised wooden houses were surrounded by people and big cameras.

"You arrived!" With a broad smile on her face, a woman of about 59 years old hurried towards Christian.

Fran Moiselle, director in charge of Vikings production.

The woman has plenty of experience, whether in movies or series, no one can deny her professionalism.

But what currently pleased Christian the most, is that the old woman didn't give him a dirty look and didn't get lost in his face, something uncommon among all the people who see him for the first time.

"Good morning Fran" Smiling amiably, Christian stretches out his hand and steals Fran's, then turns his gaze sideways and comments "It's a nice place."

"I'm glad you like it, it'll make everything easier" Turning her gaze to Emily, Fran asked "Is that her?"

"Emily, my friend"

"Oh, she's the one you told me about" Nodding with understanding, Fran turns to Natasha and observes her attire for a few seconds, then asks "Your manager?"

"My secretary."

"Oh..." Nodding, Fran turns back to Christian and smiles politely "Do you mind if I take you to meet the cast?"

"With pleasure"

"Then let's go, let's not keep them waiting!" Leading the way full of energy, Fran looks at Christian for a few seconds and nods with satisfaction as she comments "You're certainly perfect for the role"

"I hope so" Laughing, Christian followed Fran and observed every detail of the place.

Honestly, the set design is perfect.

Christian met several extra actors along the way and their outfits are just great, while every structure made for the filming is perfectly detailed to give the best possible ambiance of the Viking era.

Needless to say, Christian is already anxious to see what he will look like in his Viking clothes and tattoos, something that may not seem like much to many, but he is looking forward to having seen a series similar to this one in his old world.

"Come join me" Walking over to a large dark tent, Fran entered first and stood in front of a long table full of people.

"People, the latest member of the team has arrived, Christian Grey!" Stretching out her hands towards Christian, Fran introduced with exaggeration, as all eyes instantly locked on Christian.

"Hi" Smiling amicably, Christian waved his hand in greeting, only to be met with the typical, many gaping mouths and stunned eyes.

'*Sigh* Being so handsome is so boring' Sighing inside his mind, Christian waited patiently.

*Pa*

"Wake up!" With a loud clap, Fran exclaimed.

Instantly, all the actors smiled sheepishly as they nodded towards Christian.

The truth is that Christian knows almost no one here, even though they are all very well known actors and most likely to star in this story.

Men and women dressed in the typical Viking clothing of the series, wearing exotic hairstyles and makeup that makes them look great, Christian expected this and that's just what he got.

"Let me introduce you to them one by one" Standing in front of a man smiling at Christian, Fran continued "This is Alan".

Standing behind the man on the other side, Fran continued "Sam".

And just as he started, Fran introduced one by one on the set, while the whole atmosphere seemed incredibly awkward.

The truth is that Fran shouldn't do this, in fact it's the first time in her life that she has to introduce herself to the actors, after all it's normal for them to greet each other and initiate chats.

But as she saw that everyone was gawking at Christian, including the men, she saw no other solution than to break the silence.

[A/N: I won't leave out all the names as they are irrelevant, I will introduce the ones that are relatively important later while doing recording scenes]

"Well, with everyone introduced... would you be interested in going to meet the staff?"

"I'd love to."

"Let's go" Walking towards the exit, Fran allowed Christian to pass first and smiled, then turned to the actors and squinted at them as she whispered "Behave properly, you look like teenagers."

Regaining her smile, Fran walked by Christian's side as she explained every detail of the film set, while Emily listened and looked around curiously.

***

[4 days later]

*Pa*

"OF COURSE I LOVED MY MOTHER, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO FORGET WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF HER NEGLECT!!!" Slamming hard on the table, Christian's face distorted with fury.

Splinters of the already broken table jumped everywhere, Christian's eyes quickly reddened, while the veins in his forehead bulged at his screams.

"Cut!" Quickly waving her hand, Fran smiled broadly and laughed openly "Perfect, more than perfect, it's just great!"

Quickly recovering his original face, Christian chuckled and adjusted his clothes.

Filming started three days ago, although most of Christian's scenes have been nothing but talk and talk.

They are supposed to film all the miscellaneous stuff at the beginning and then bring in more extras and prepare for the battles and wars, but it doesn't mean that the miscellaneous stuff is boring either.

Wearing a heavy black coat, Christian adjusted the braid of his hair over his shoulder and smiled showing his teeth "Do we have to repeat the scene?"

"Not at all, it's great" Quickly shaking her head while watching the replay on the screen, Fran nodded again and again and commented "Your eyes, your face, your micro expressions, everything is just perfect, you seem genuinely angry and yet sad".

Although the first few times Christian found it a little difficult to work it all out, after a few mistakes, it all worked wonderfully and almost without the need to repeat his scenes alone.

The truth is that acting is not just about always showing your genuine emotions, but many times you have to exaggerate them as much as possible for the drama to prevail, something Christian hadn't quite experienced, but it certainly helped him train what he once learned with Dimitri.

"So what take is next?"

"Mmmm..." Looking up at the sky, Fran commented "We have more shots to do with the scenarios already created... we have to shoot the scene where you paint your face to acknowledge your Viking side... scenes in the rain and a few in the snow... it will take a while."

"So I have nothing to do for now?"

"Sure you do, soon we will have battle scenes and I need you to learn how to use an axe and a sword, also a bow and fight with your fists" Looking at Christian seriously, Fran continued "You have to be a monster in battles, you need knowledge in all that that's why we brought instructors for the actors, but don't worry, we don't need anything specialized or perfect, just something that disguises well in the cameras and looks great"

"But I already know how to use all that."

"What!?"

"I know how to use sword, bow, axe, spear, shield, double sword, among several weapons... obviously I'm not a professional, I just know how to wield them relatively well, although when using the sword I already have more hours of practice so I can put on a good show."

"C-can you demonstrate?"

"You have a sword and shield?"

Turning quickly to the staff, Fran shouted "Bring what he asks for!"

Laughing as he watches everyone scurrying around like ants, Christian sighed and turned his gaze to Emily, who watches everything sitting from a distance with a big smile on her face.

Holding up his middle finger to her, Christian chuckled and turned to the staff coming towards him, then stretched out his hand to receive the sword and a circular shield.

"They're quite light..." Pursing his lips, Christian waved his sword as if it were paper and sighed, then looked at Fran and asked "What do you want to see?"

"Show me some stance and some attack moves, remember I need them to look good for the camera."

Nodding, Christian thought for a few seconds and smiled, then crouching down slightly, positioning his left leg behind the shield and his right leg a little further back.

Raising the shield to the height of his chin, Christian positioned the sword over the top of the shield and formed a serious face, then pushed the shield forward and waved his sword twice.

Imagining an enemy in front of him, Christian turned around and swung his sword again with the speed force of the swing, then turned around and stabbed towards his back.

The truth is that this series of moves is something Christian saw in the movie '300', inspired by the Spartans.

Generally this type of attack is not very effective when fighting with experienced people or against many enemies, but no one takes away the fact that visually it is a marvel.

Rubbing her chin, Fran nodded and murmured "Not bad... if he really manages everything he says... we could improve his action scenes quite a bit.... he asked not to have stunt doubles and said he wouldn't mind taking hits, so we could do incredibly realistic scenes with that in mind."

"So?" Pausing his movements, Christian asked.

"All good, although I'd like you to train with that in front of the scriptwriter so he'll have more ideas when writing your fights."

"No problem."

"Good, you're free for the day, get some rest."

"Thanks" Smiling, Christian nods to the cameramen and stretches his body, then walks over to Emily and smiles "How do I look?"

"You really do look incredibly gigantic in those kind of clothes."

Chuckling, Christian lowered his gaze and commented "It's because I usually wear tighter clothes, this kind of Viking suit I wear is wider."

[A/N: I'll leave a referential image of the type of Viking clothes Christian is wearing, so you can get a better mental picture]

"What shall we do now?"

"Mmmm... I don't know, do you have any idea?"

"Shall we go? I feel like playing some video game"

"Heh, you want to lose already?" raising his eyebrows, Christian asked.
