Thorfinn continues to be haunted by his usual nightmares. Thorfinn, who had thought only of revenge as he lived on the battlefield, lost his reason to live when Askeladd died. Einar and Sverkel tell the troubled Thorfinn that "people can change."
"Life's all about carrying axes into battle, 
plundering the spoils, and drinking beer!"
ما الحياة إلاّ تلويح بالفؤوس في ساحات"
"!المعارك ونهب الغنائم وشرب الجعّة
„Axten, Kämpfen, Plündern und Saufen –
das ist alles, was zählt!“
"La vida es combatir con el hacha,
saquear riquezas y beber cerveza.
"La vida es combatir con el hacha,
saquear riquezas y beber cerveza.
« Y a rien de mieux que
les haches, la guerre, le pillage,
ज़िन्दगी का मतलब है कुल्हाड़ी
लेकर लड़ाई के मैदान में जाना
Uno di quegli uomini che vanno in guerra
con la loro scure, che saccheggiano
"A vida é carregar machados
até a batalha, pilhar e beber!"
Топор есть! Пойду на войну!
Награблю много! И буду пить!
