Thorfinn suffers a serious injury in his fight against Thorkell. Thorfinn is told to think about what he has to do to beat Thorkell. Askeladd treats Thorfinn’s wounds so that he may fight again someday, and proposes a joint strategy to help the two of them survive longer.
I realized that whether the body is still alive
or not doesn't matter.
.وأدركتُ أنّها ليست مسألة حياة أو موت الجسد
Mir ist klar geworden, dass es nicht
um Leben oder Tod des Körpers geht.
Me di cuenta de que no importa
si el cuerpo sigue vivo o no.
Me di cuenta de que si su cuerpo
seguía vivo o no, daba igual.
j’ai compris que la survivance
de la chair était sans importance.
e percebi que não importava
se estava vivo ou morto.
