I mind that I set it back; and that is all until I woke here to see, as I thought, Thor with his hammer and Freyr beside him, and so--" That was all; and it was enough.

Only Dalfin had one question to ask.
"I wonder this evil Arnkel parted with the treasure so lightly." "My folk would not have let him lay hands on it in any case," she answered plainly.

"And they would keep it from Heidrek." "That is how the men of Heidrek fell on us," I said.

"He must have landed his men beyond your sight, but not far off." "There were two ships seen passing north in the storm," she said.
"They will have been his, and he must have berthed them in some near fjord.

There he would hear of this that was to be, and of the treasure which the old king took with him to his grave." Then Bertric said thoughtfully enough: "It may well be that the fight has gone hardly for Heidrek, else I think that he would have put off to follow the ship before this.
After all, it may be that we can sail back to your fjord and tell this tale to your folk, and so make an end of Arnkel and his misdeeds.
