The
men
said
,
"
We
are
far
,
far
from
our
homes
and
our
hearths
,
far
from
the
seas
we
know
and
the
lands
we
love
.
Here
on
the
edge
of
the
world
we
will
be
forgotten
by
our
gods
.
"
Their
leader
clambered
to
the
top
of
a
great
rock
,
and
he
mocked
them
for
their
lack
of
faith
.
"
The
All
-
Father
made
the
world
,
"
he
shouted
.
"
He
built
it
with
his
hands
from
the
shattered
bones
and
the
flesh
of
Ymir
,
his
grandfather
.
He
placed
Ymir
’
s
brains
in
the
sky
as
clouds
,
and
his
salt
blood
became
the
seas
we
crossed
.
If
he
made
the
world
,
do
you
not
realize
that
he
created
this
land
as
well
?
And
if
we
die
here
as
men
,
shall
we
not
be
received
into
his
hall
?
"
And
the
men
cheered
and
laughed
.
They
set
to
,
with
a
will
,
to
build
a
hall
out
of
split
trees
and
mud
,
inside
a
small
stockade
of
sharpened
logs
,
although
as
far
as
they
knew
they
were
the
only
men
in
the
new
land
.
On
the
day
that
the
hall
was
finished
there
was
a
storm
:
the
sky
at
midday
became
as
dark
as
night
,
and
the
sky
was
rent
with
forks
of
white
flame
,
and
the
thunder
-
crashes
were
so
loud
that
the
men
were
almost
deafened
by
them
,
and
the
ship
’
s
cat
they
had
brought
with
them
for
good
fortune
hid
beneath
their
beached
longboat
.
The
storm
was
hard
enough
and
vicious
enough
that
the
men
laughed
and
clapped
each
other
on
the
back
,
and
they
said
,
"
The
thunderer
is
here
with
us
,
in
this
distant
land
,
"
and
they
gave
thanks
,
and
rejoiced
,
and
they
drank
until
they
were
reeling
.
In
the
smoky
darkness
of
their
hall
,
that
night
,
the
bard
sang
them
the
old
songs
.
He
sang
of
Odin
,
the
All
-
Father
,
who
was
sacrificed
to
himself
as
bravely
and
as
nobly
as
others
were
sacrificed
to
him
.
He
sang
of
the
nine
days
that
the
All
-
Father
hung
from
the
world
-
tree
,
his
side
pierced
and
dripping
from
the
spear
-
point
’
s
wound
,
and
he
sang
them
all
the
things
the
All
-
Father
had
learned
in
his
agony
:
nine
names
,
and
nine
runes
,
and
twice
-
nine
charms
.
When
he
told
them
of
the
spear
piercing
Odin
’
s
side
,
the
bard
shrieked
in
pain
as
the
All
-
Father
himself
had
called
out
in
his
agony
,
and
all
the
men
shivered
,
imagining
his
pain
.
They
found
the
scraeling
the
following
day
,
which
was
the
all
-
father
’
s
own
day
.
He
was
a
small
man
,
his
long
hair
black
as
a
crow
’
s
wing
,
his
skin
the
color
of
rich
red
clay
.
He
spoke
in
words
none
of
them
could
understand
,
not
even
their
bard
,
who
had
been
on
a
ship
that
had
sailed
through
the
pillars
of
Hercules
and
who
could
speak
the
trader
’
s
pidgin
men
spoke
all
across
the
Mediterranean
.
The
stranger
was
dressed
in
feathers
and
in
furs
,
and
there
were
small
bones
braided
into
his
long
hair
.
They
led
him
into
their
encampment
,
and
they
gave
him
roasted
meat
to
eat
,
and
strong
drink
to
quench
his
thirst
.
They
laughed
riotously
at
the
man
as
he
stumbled
and
sang
,
at
the
way
his
head
rolled
and
lolled
,
and
this
on
less
than
a
drinking
-
horn
of
mead
.
They
gave
him
more
drink
,
and
soon
enough
he
lay
beneath
the
table
with
his
head
curled
under
his
arm
.
Then
they
picked
him
up
,
a
man
at
each
shoulder
,
a
man
at
each
leg
,
carried
him
at
shoulder
height
,
the
four
men
making
him
an
eight
-
legged
horse
,
and
they
carried
him
at
the
head
of
a
procession
to
an
ash
tree
on
the
hill
overlooking
the
bay
,
where
they
put
a
rope
around
his
neck
and
hung
him
high
in
the
wind
,
their
tribute
to
the
All
-
Father
,
the
gallows
lord
.
The
scraeling
’
s
body
swung
in
the
wind
,
his
face
blackening
,
his
tongue
protruding
,
his
eyes
popping
,
his
penis
hard
enough
to
hang
a
leather
helmet
on
,
while
the
men
cheered
and
shouted
and
laughed
,
proud
to
be
sending
their
sacrifice
to
the
heavens
.
And
,
the
next
day
,
when
two
huge
ravens
landed
upon
the
scraeling
’
s
corpse
,
one
on
each
shoulder
,
and
commenced
to
peck
at
its
cheeks
and
eyes
,
the
men
knew
their
sacrifice
had
been
accepted
.
