On one faithful day, the father returned with a fat pig. Everybody was happy one this day, it was the 12th birthday of Skarde and they hadn't so much to eat for moons. On the next day some men came and burned the house down, beheading the father while they screamed thieve. The mother were burned alive and Skarde ran into the forrest, only with his knife with him. They strange men didn't followed him, asuming that he wont surive the cold night. Skarde was crying next to his campfire, but the cry slowly became into a quiet giggle which became louder and louder. Not knowing what else to do, he just talked to himself, and dreamt about a better life and the things that he could have build. Skarde also asked the Gods why they didn't helped him, his father or his poor mother, not knowing what the Gods have planed with him. Even in the coldest night, did he refuse to die and went on, hunting, fishing and colecting food.......giggleing.
