But my mother said that I was surely right. There was no fear of battle here, and indeed with Gunnar and Sigurd to guard the land we had had peace for many a long year on our own coasts, if other lands had had to fear them.
But after they had considered it for long Högni the Wise said: "There is a way to win Brynhild, and that is for Sigurd to change shapes, by the magic of his helmet, with Gunnar. Then Sigurd could ride Grani through the wall of flame and come to Brynhild in Gunnar's shape."
A fierce battle raged with great loss on both sides, until nearly all the Nibelungs were slain, and Gunnar and Hogni, forced to yield to the power of numbers, were captured and bound. Gunnar was now asked if he would purchase his life with the treasure, and he replied eventually that he would do so if he were given Hognis heart.
The Quarrel about Gunnar at the Feast Gunnar was outlawed because of the slaying of Thridrandi, Geitir's son, as is told in the Niard-wickers' Saga. He went about much "with a hidden head," for that many great men had their eyes upon him.
"It feeds upon electricity and it can discharge a lightning bolt. Don't you see? There are few weapons that can resist it. But that is not all. In your own brain, Gunnar, there is a charge of electricity. It may be the only real life that you have within you. This can take it all away. That was why I asked for a live thing to demonstrate "
A second thrust with the bill stretched Skamkell on the ground, and after him Otkell and three others. They slew eight men in all, Kolskegg aiding. After that they rode home, and as they went Gunnar said: 'I wonder if I am less base than others because I kill men less willingly than they.
You used the science that your people stole from us to cheat me of my bride and my slave." Gunnar had heard enough. The huge sword flashed in a circle as he swung it above his head with both hands. A Bron stepped forward and Gunnar slashed him from shoulder to stomach-pit. Odin thrust Maya to the couch as he came forward to help. But Grim Hagen had merely stepped back.
Hogni slew him, and as they rode to Atlis dwelling the Hunnish king and his sons armed themselves for battle and demanded Sigurds treasure, which they declared belonged by right to Gudrun. Gunnar refused to part with it, and a great combat began. Gudrun armed herself and fought on the side of her brothers.
"I have not to answer for that," said Atli, "nor are you the representative of Thorbjorn." Gunnar said it would have to be so nevertheless. "And now," he cried, "let us go for them and profit by Grettir being away." There were eight of them, and they set upon Atli's six. Atli led on his men and drew the sword Jokulsnaut which Grettir had given him.
Eastward lies the Atlantic with routes to Europe; westwards run innumerable railway lines, five of which stretch right through to the Pacific coast." "Tell me something about the railways," exclaims Gunnar, who wants to go out west at the first favourable opportunity. "Yes, I can give you information about them, for I have been working on several lines.
