Umbhobho ngamunye ukhuphuka ngokulangazela ukhuphuke esigxotsheni sawo esiwusekelayo, ufinyelela emazulwini njengokungathi udonswa amandla athile angabonakali, ama-cone ahlangene aqinile alenga ezimpondweni ezinesigqi. Ukukhanya kwelanga kungena emafwini, kuthambile kodwa kuzinzile, kudonsela indawo ngokufudumala okusagolide okuthuthukisa imibala eluhlaza yezitshalo. Emaphethelweni ensimu, inhlabathi imnyama futhi ivundile, iphethe izimpawu zokutshalwa ngokucophelela, kuyilapho izindlela zihamba phakathi kwemigqa, zigqokwa izinyathelo ezingenakubalwa zabalimi abaye bahamba lapha isizukulwane ngesizukulwane.

Kwesokunxele, kuneshede eliqinile lezinkuni elifulelwe ngotshani, eliphansi kodwa elihlala njalo. Izingodo ezimahhadla, eziqoshwe ngesandla futhi ezigugiswe izinkathi zonyaka ezingenakubalwa, zibonakala zinenkumbulo yamakhulu eminyaka, ukuhleba ngezivuno ezizikhoselile namathuluzi eliwagcinile. Ukuba khona kwayo kuyisisekelo sesigameko, isikhumbuzo sokuthi nakuba insimu iphila ngokukhula namandla, isigqi sokulima sincike esikweni eliqinile nasesandleni esinesineke somlimi. Ishede alisona nje isakhiwo esivamile—liyihange lokuqhubeka, liwubufakazi buthule emijikelezweni yokutshala, yokunakekela, nokuvuna esekela umphakathi nomsebenzi wawo wokukhiqiza utshwala.

Phakathi nendawo, abalimi beViking bahamba phakathi kwamabhina aphakeme ngokunemba okwenziwe. Bembethe izingubo zoboya, izingubo zabo zihlangana ngaphandle komthungo namathoni asemhlabeni wendawo ebazungezile, njengokungathi bayingxenye yezwe njengezitshalo ngokwazo. Umuntu ugoba phansi, ehlola izigaxa ezingeni lamehlo, ehlola ubukhulu bawo, umbala, nephunga elimnandi elikhipha inhlaka. Enye ifinyelela phezulu, iqondise imivini, iqinisekise ukuthi ihlala inamathele ngokuvikelekile ezisekelweni zayo zokukhuphuka. Ingane, mhlawumbe efundelwa lo msebenzi wezandla, uhlala eduze, ilingisa ukuthinta kwabadala bayo, izandla zayo ezincane zixubha amakhoni ngelukuluku lokufuna ukwazi kokubili ukudlala nomsebenzi. Ukunyakaza kwabo kwenziwa ngamabomu, kuhamba kancane, kugcwele umuzwa wenhlonipho; abagcini nje ngokunakekela izitshalo, kodwa baphatha insiza ewumgogodla wempilo, umgubho, nokuphila.

Ingemuva livuleka libe i-panorama yamagquma namahlathi akude, okuluhlaza kwawo okuthulisiwe nokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kuthambe ngenxa yobumnyama bebanga.
