Description

Snake Olmar joins the bodyguards, Fox and Badger, in a late night drinking session, but realizes how inexperienced he is. Fox suggests to Olmar that if kills someone that will increase his confidence and reduce his fears, suggesting one of the expendable farm slaves. The next morning Thorfinn is woken by a terrifying dream which he cannot remember, and at the well, Einar meets the young woman Arnheid who explains she is Ketil's personal attendant. Fox and Badger arrive and take Thorfinn and Einar to the bodyguard's compound where Olmar is invited to kill the unarmed Einar. In desperation and anger, Einar rushes at Olmar and pins him down, telling Thorfinn to run. As they struggle Thorfinn offers himself up as a sacrifice. However, Fox says death has no value without fear and tries to frighten Thorfinn by slashing him repeatedly with his sword, but Thorfinn does not even flinch...
