It
was
a
long
winter
,
and
they
were
hungry
,
but
they
were
cheered
by
the
thought
that
,
when
spring
came
,
they
would
send
the
boat
back
to
the
northlands
,
and
it
would
bring
settlers
,
and
bring
women
.
As
the
weather
became
colder
,
and
the
days
became
shorter
,
some
of
the
men
took
to
searching
for
the
scraeling
village
,
hoping
to
find
food
,
and
women
.
They
found
nothing
,
save
for
the
places
where
fires
had
been
,
where
small
encampments
had
been
abandoned
.
One
midwinter
’
s
day
,
when
the
sun
was
as
distant
and
cold
as
a
dull
silver
coin
,
they
saw
that
the
remains
of
the
scraeling
’
s
body
had
been
removed
from
the
ash
tree
.
That
afternoon
it
began
to
snow
,
in
huge
,
slow
flakes
.
The
men
from
the
northlands
closed
the
gates
of
their
encampment
,
retreated
behind
their
wooden
wall
The
scraeling
war
party
fell
upon
them
that
night
:
five
hundred
men
to
thirty
.
They
climbed
the
wall
,
and
over
the
following
seven
days
,
they
killed
each
of
the
thirty
men
,
in
thirty
different
ways
.
And
the
sailors
were
forgotten
,
by
history
and
their
people
.
The
wall
they
tore
down
,
the
war
party
,
and
the
village
they
burned
.
The
longboat
,
upside
down
and
pulled
high
on
the
shingle
,
they
also
burned
,
hoping
that
the
pale
strangers
had
but
one
boat
,
and
that
by
burning
it
they
were
ensuring
that
no
other
Northmen
would
come
to
their
shores
.
It
was
more
than
a
hundred
years
before
Leif
the
Fortunate
,
son
of
Erik
the
Red
,
rediscovered
that
land
,
which
he
would
call
Vineland
.
His
gods
were
already
waiting
for
him
when
he
arrived
:
Tyr
,
one
-
handed
,
and
gray
Odin
gallows
-
god
,
and
Thor
of
the
thunders
.
They
were
there
.
They
were
waiting
.
Let
the
Midnight
Special
Shine
its
light
on
me
