I agree with @oivas, @calluna .. considering that a spaceship is about to land between the two factions, staring open mouth. I think that Cyrus will be quite lenient, I will look for his answer and keep it in mind when awarding.
Adding: about the words limit, I just answered to @anixio about it, the way I see it ;-)

We will see what I end up with ;)

Ok ok, I have something, I am trying really hard to hack the word count down (need more of those battle axes) 566 words + a viking incantation and translation - gunna just get the old blade sharpener, give it about slash, and then just post it. Then if you and @cyemela think it is too many, it is an easy way to disqualify me from the prizes ;)

Slash the adjectives with that sharp blade, Cal! ;-P (but when it's good it's good, no matter the word count)

You say this, but one day you will just get a novel ;)
