The swords flew so fast, they were a blur. As soon as Einar understood that this man was not another friend on Little One's, he helped her by setting Torolf's boots on fire. He ran toward the water to put them out with Einar blowing fire at him all the way. Thora chased him.
By now, the other dragons were bored of chasing the fleeing Vikings, who were desperately swimming away. They came back, saw Einar attacking Torolf, and decided to join him. Torolf and Thora both saw them coming.
"Torolf, when those dragons get here, they will kill you. If you will stop fighting and you let this go, let us go, then I will stop them. Do you understand?"
"Never! Get off of me, you stupid beast!" Torolf yelled at Einar.
"Torolf, please! This isn't worth your life! Torolf!"
A dragon swooped down and grabbed him. He screamed, but it was too late.
