Part 1 - A Common Knife
Chapter 1
Summary
Brothers Geirmund and Hámund tracked a deer to the outskirts of the village of Olund, near the frontier with Hordaland. It began as a simple hunt for small animals near Avaldsnes but then changed into a three day expedition for bigger prey.
Hámund shot the deer, but the arrow didn't manage to kill it instantly, allowing it to scream and leave a trail of blood before it died, catching the attention of a wolf pack. Hámund proposed leaving the deer to the wolves, but Geirmund considered the prizes: meat, pelt and antlers. The wolves surrounded the brothers and they readied for the attack: Hámund with his bow and Geirmund with a sword and an axe.
In the fight that followed, they managed to kill six of the wolves before the pack retreated, though not without injury. A wolf bit Geirmund's arm and broke a tooth in the process. The brothers decided to make camp as the night fell.
Hámund has difficulties lighting the campfire, though he managed to get the fire going. He stumbled as he stood up and fell on the ground. Geirmund ran to his brother, finding a bloody injury Hámund had concealed from him. Geirmund then proceeded to use his axe to cauterize Hámund's injury, heating it on the fire and then pressing it on him to close the wound. Geirmund bandaged Hámund and set to work making a sleigh to take him back to Avaldsnes for a healer so grave was his state. He used pelts from the wolves they killed and used his axe to chop down a couple of trees for it. He tied Hámund and their weapons to the sleigh, leaving behind the rest they'd brought and some of the deer meat as well, then set off for Avaldsnes during the night.
