Long it were to tell of that fierce fight, and of the men that were slain by Kolskegg and Gunnar. At last Thorgeir, Otkell's son, forced his way to the front and swung his sword at Gunnar. The blow would have been deadly had it fallen, but, leaping aside, he thrust his bill through Thorgeir's body, and flung him far into the river. At that the other men turned and fled away.
'I will go no whither, repeated Gunnar, 'and I would that you would stay with me. 'I cannot do this thing, answered Kolskegg; 'but if you go back, tell my mother and my kindred that I bid them farewell for ever, for you will soon be dead, and I shall have naught to bind me to Iceland.
The tidings soon spread far and wide, and reached the ears of Kolskegg, who rode over to Lithend, so that he might speak with Gunnar. 'Know you that it is said by every man that it was Hallgerda who caused the fire at Kirkby, that she might steal the cheese and butter? asked he. 'I have thought before that it must be so, but how can I set it right? answered Gunnar.
When he got up he did not mount at once, but stood and looked round him for a while. Suddenly he turned and said to Kolskegg: 'Never has my home seemed to me so fair as now when the corn is ripe and ready for cutting. Come what may, I will not leave it. 'Do not let your foes triumph over you, answered Kolskegg. 'For if you should break your atonement, any man may deal with you as he will.
He asked Hauskuld what atonement he would make for Glum, but Hauskuld answered that it was neither he nor his daughter who had slain Glum, and that Hrut had avenged himself on Thiostolf. To this Thorarin said nothing, but Hrut offered to give him gifts, and so peace lay between them. Now, Hrut's wife, Unna, was of kin to two brothers, Gunnar and Kolskegg.
But Gunnar answered her nothing and rode quickly away. Rannveig went back to the sitting-room, where many men were talking, and, looking at them, she said: 'Loud is your talk, but the bill sang louder when Gunnar rode away. When Kolskegg heard that, he saddled his horse and hasted after Gunnar.
