Outlander Page #2

Some place far from here.

For certain.

Far off and sad that's

not tasted Herot mead.

Boromir likes his drink.

You know, Outlander...

we trade in every direction

for a thousand miles.

South, east and west, not north.

There's nothing there.

Maybe you haven't

looked far enough.

Perhaps.

But what's a man who lives so far

north doing in these seas?

We have an outpost near here.

And that's where this Moorwen

got on board your ship?

Yes.

And what it did to your village

it did to mine.

We were taking the bodies

back for a burial.

That's when it must

have gotten onboard.

Hold up!

Bear came this way.

There's been a lot of

animals through here since.

We should split up

try to find the main trail.

That's a bad idea.

We should stay together.

We'll pair up.

Wulfric, you take the Outlander.

A bear wouldn't do this.

It's here.

Wulfric! Wait!

Now that's a bear.

Outlander!

Take this sword.

And your life, too.

It's yours again.

Wulfric! Wulfric!

Kainan!

Kainan! Kainan!

Sit here!

Be my guest tonight.

Daughter! Kainan needs some drink.

See, now you look like a Viking.

Doesn't he, Freya?

Perhaps.

Nobody cooks this better

than my kitchen.

Eat!

There I was, running into

the cave ahead of everyone...

when suddenly, out of nowhere

came the biggest...

most vicious bear I've ever seen.

He tore up two grown men...

and was about to eat

the king himself...

when the Outlander stuck

his sword in it.

You see, the bear was there.

No! There!

And Rothgar was... Rothgar was here.

What's this?

Creeping into Shield Hall uninvited.

Off you go!

Wait!

What's your name?

Answer him, lad.

Here. Are you hungry?

He wants to see the sword

that killed the bear.

No.

I'll trade you for your name.

Eric.

Eric.

A sword for a name.

Just bring it back in one piece.

His parents were killed

by raiders a year ago.

The boy'll be fine.

We take care of our own.

Shields!

Shields!

Shields! it is.

Shield! Shield! Shield!

You!

Kainan!

You.

Kainan! Kainan! Kainan!

Up!

Kainan! Kainan!

What now?

Follow me.

The Outlander's good.

Care to wager some gold on him?

No one beats Wulfric at shields.

Kainan!

Now you try this.

Oh hell.

Are you ready for this, Boromir?

I am now.

Okay.

Not bad.

Sorry.

Outlander, I wanted...

Kainan.

My name is Kainan.

Kainan,

I wanted to thank you for

bringing my father back to me.

For saving his life.

It happened so fast

I did it without thinking.

Like when you hit me?

Hit you?

Yes, sorry about that.

We're even now.

All the women are talking about you.

They say you're from a place

far beyond the ice.

I heard one say from

the home of the gods.
