"There wait Arnkel and Heidrek." "We think that Arnkel may have made an end of Heidrek's power," I said.
At that she shook her head.
"Arnkel has had old dealings with Heidrek.

He has sailed with him, I know.

It is more likely that after he had done with me, he made some sort of terms with him, finding out who the attackers were.

We did not know at first, but I heard the men name Heidrek as the ship was fired." "Well, then," Bertric said, after a little thought, "we must try to make the Shetlands or the Orkneys.

Malcolm will find us friends there." So, that being quite possible if the wind held, and I being sure of welcome for my father's sake, we set a course for Shetland as nearly as we could judge it.
