A group from the [[Micmac]] tribe, led by [[Sees Strangers]], travels a long distance to trade with the [[Viking]]s. On the way, they meet the Doctor, who accompanies them as he wishes to bury the ashes of his good friend. | |||
When they reach the Viking camp, [[Freydis (Second Contact)|Freydis]] is hostile to them but [[Thorfinn Karlsefni|Thorfinn]] and his wife [[Gudrid]] cautiously welcome them. One of the Micmac, [[Says Things Twice]], shows an interest in a dish belonging to Freydis. When Freydis accuses Says Things Twice of being a thief, a fight breaks out between the Micmac and the Vikings, during which three Micmac and [[Tyrkir]] of the Vikings are killed. The Doctor comforts Tyrkir as he dies, restoring some measure of happiness to the camp. | |||
The Doctor warns Thorfinn that the main Micmac tribe will find the Vikings at some point in the future, and he encourages them to return to their original home in [[Greenland]]. Most of the Vikings accompany the Doctor, and en route he scatters the ashes of his friend [[William (Gone Fishing)|Isaac]]. | |||
