Eiríks saga rauða, part 3.

6a

Þorsteinn marries Guðríður and moves in with another Þorsteinn. At first all's well but then people start dropping dead because of a fever, first one to die is a Garður but no one likes that asshole. Remember his name though he might have done something. Guðríður's Þorsteinn and the other Þorsteinn's wife Sigríður are among the ill.

Guðríður and Sigríður go outside of the house.

Sigríður: "Oh." (exact quote from the saga)

Guðríður: "Yeah we should prolly go back inside -"

Sigríður: "Er, bad idea. The doorway's full of dead people and I'm actually there with them... so's your hubbsie by the way."



6b

Sigríður dies. Except then.

Þorsteinn (Eiríksson): "Þorsteiiiinnnn your dead wife's trying to get in bed with me!!!!!"

Þorsteinn: "Right, well, back to coffin dearie, anyway wrong Þorsteinn."

6c

Þorsteinn Eiríksson also dies.

Þorsteinn Eiríksson: "EXCEPT actually I zombied up too cause I want a word with the wifey."

Guðríður: "I assume this'll be important."

Þorsteinn Eiríksson: "Yeah I want to be buried into an actual churchyard and everyone else should be too. Except that Garður, he's an asshole and started this whole fever so he should just be burned."

Þorsteinn Eiríksson: "Also don't marry a Greenlandic man ok?"

Just in case you were wondering, the custom of burying the dead was far more practical than actually taking them to the only church of the whole Greenland. The dead were buried at the farm, a stake stuck through them, and then a priest came over, pulled out the stake and poured holy water in the hole. Done!

Anyway, then Guðríður's dad dies as well.

7a

There's a dude called Þorfinnur karlsefni. Those that read Vinland Saga the manga might be interested in this one. His dad's name's Þórður horsehead.

Not joking.

Anyway this Þorfinnur really wants to go to Greenland.

7b

Eiríkur lets the men stay at his place and all's well, except Eiríkur turns gloomy when Yule nears.

Þorfinnur: "Wassup."

Eiríkur: "We're kinda gonna run out of food..."

Þorfinnur: "Naah we got plenty, just help yourself. Oh btw would I get to marry that Guðríður?"

Eiríkur: "Sure thing!"

Þorfinnur: "Yay!"

Guðríður: "Yay!"
