Flaring crimson under her brown skin, Randalin's Viking blood leaped to answer the call. For Rothgar's shout she gave another, and laughed out of sheer delight when he tossed her upon the back of a pawing horse. Away with woman's fears! The world was a grand brave place, and men a race of heroes.
Like the bellow of an angry bull, Rothgar's voice broke through his. "Land! Quickly will I proclaim my opinion of any man who sets his heart on that! He who forgets glory in his eagerness for property, deserves the curse of Thor!" "Prepare yourself, then, for a thunderbolt, Rothgar Lodbroksson," a clear voice spoke up suddenly.
Here and there and to and fro, Rothgar's great charger followed the King; and here and there and to and fro, on her foam-flecked horse, Randalin followed the son of Lodbrok, staring, dazed, stunned. Her wits were like a flock of birds loosed from the cage of her will, alighting here, upstarting there, without let or hindrance.
The Tall One's brows relaxed ever so little from their snarl of worry. "The boy has experienced good training, for all that he has at present the appearance of a great fool. If Rothgar's warrior skill is in his arm, yet my caution should be in his head." Certainly there was no Berserk madness about the young Danishman; there was hardly even seriousness.
"Accept the challenge," he answered absently. Then the utter horror in both faces brought him momentarily back. "You need not look like that. I would not do it if I did not see a good chance to win. There are other weapons than those which dwell in sheaths." "But if you lose?" Rothgar's harsh voice was discordant with emotion. "If you lose?" The King silenced him impatiently.
The wager shall be as you have made it; and may I lack strength if I do not deal with him " He paused, blinking like a startled owl, as his royal foster-brother leaped to his feet and fronted him with shouts of laughter. "You dolt, you!" Canute cried. "Do you not see it yet? Frode's child is a woman!" Rothgar's jaw dropped and his bulging eyes seemed in danger of following.
