Then he went home at evening tide and says that Bredi had ridden
away from him into the wild-wood. "Soon was he out of my sight,"
he says, "and naught more I wot of him."
Skadi misdoubted the tale of Sigi, and deemed that this was a
guile of his, and that he would have slain Bredi. So he sent men
to seek for him, and to such an end came their seeking, that they
found him in a certain snow-drift; then said Skadi, that men
should call that snow-drift Bredi's Drift from henceforth; and
thereafter have folk followed, so that in such wise they call
every drift that is right great.
Thus it is well seen that Sigi has slain the thrall and murdered
him; so he is given forth to be a wolf in holy places, (1) and
may no more abide in the land with his father; therewith Odin
bare him fellowship from the land, so long a way, that right long
it was, and made no stay till he brought him to certain war-
ships. So Sigi falls to lying out a-warring with the strength
that his father gave him or ever they parted; and happy was he in
his warring, and ever prevailed, till he brought it about that he
won by his wars land and lordship at the last; and thereupon he
took to him a noble wife, and became a great and mighty king, and
ruled over the land of the Huns, and was the greatest of
warriors.
