And many other words they spake in their wrath. Now Hogni had a son left alive, hight Niblung, and great wrath of heart he bare against King Atli; and he did Gudrun to wit that he would avenge his father. And she took his words well, and they fell to counsel together thereover, and she said it would be great goodhap if it might be brought about.
"Too far on this luckless day, Atli, good at weapon-play, Brisk Illugi were from me; Such-like oft I shall not be As I was, when I must stand With the reins drawn through my hand By the unflinching losel Air. Maids weep when they know I fear." Thereafter Grettir went to the south from the Keel; and rode to Hjalli and found Skapti, and prayed for watch and ward from him.
"The gods indeed have dealt heavily with thee," said Atli, "and it is at their bidding that I called thee here." "Spoke they with King Bue also?" said Estein, with a slight curl of his lip, looking all the time at the fire. "Nay; hear me out, Estein. I knew that King Hakon would send, ere long, an avenging force to Jemtland."
It is Gudruda, who am come to thee." He turned his head and looked upon her strangely. "No, no," he said, "it is not Gudruda the Fair. She will have little to do with outlaws, and this is too rough a place for her to come to. It is dark also and Atli speaks in the darkness. If thou art Gudruda, give me a sign. Why comest thou here and where is Skallagrim? Ah! that was a good fight
In that point of time Thorbiorn swung round before the door, and thrust the spear with both hands amidst of Atli, so that it pierced him through. Then said Atli, when he got the thrust, "<i>Broad spears are about now</i>," says he, and fell forward over the threshold. Then came out women who had been in the chamber, and saw that Atli was dead.
They rode west to Hawkdale Pass, and so on, as the road lay west to Ness: there they bought much stockfish, and loaded seven horses therewith, and turned homeward when they were ready. <i>The Onset on Atli at the Pass and the Slaying of Gunnar and Thorgeir</i>.
I shall be beaten here before thine eyes if thou givest me not some defence or help." Atli altered his mind at this talk of his, and had no heart now to drive him away from him.
Now, too, she set a suit on foot against Eric for the death of Atli at his hand, claiming that sentence of the greater outlawry should be passed against him, and that his lands at Coldback in the Marsh on Ran River should be given, half to her in atonement for the Earl's death, and half to the men of Eric's quarter.
"Great grief for Atli Gatst thou by Erp's murder, And the end of thine Eitil, But worse grief for thyself. Good to use sword For the slaying of others In such wise that its edge Shall not turn on ourselves!" Then well spake Sorli From a heart full of wisdom: "No words will I Make with my mother, Though both ye twain Need words belike What askest thou, Gudrun, To let thee go greeting?
"Let it fare with thee, Atli, E'en after thine oaths sworn To Gunnar fell often; Yea, oaths sworn of old time, By the sun sloping southward, By the high burg of Sigry, By the fair bed of rest, By the red ring of Ull!" Now a host of men Cast the high king alive Into a close Crept o'er within With most foul worms, Fulfilled of all venom, Ready grave to dig In his doughty heart.
