»Mein Vater sagte, daß Ihr schon immer Atvias Feind gewesen wärt und bekämpft werden müßtet.« Kummer trat in die braunen Augen, und sein Mund zuckte leicht, aber er verbarg es fast augenblicklich.
Eric claimed that Asmund should hold the sword Whitefire that was at stake, but Ospakar gainsaid him, saying that if he gave Whitefire into Asmund's keeping, Eric must also give his eye--and about this they debated hotly.
