Riding on horseback

Welcome to Iceland.
The land of ice and fire!

Hurry up! You can hear voices behind you.
They are getting closer.
You are on horseback. By your side are two extra horses. Your horse is getting tired, but you have to make it to the village.
There is no time to change horses now.
You can see the flickering light of the houses by the sea.
If you can just get close enough, the outlaws behind you will give up the chase.
They do not dare to go near the houses.
They know they will be caught.
The outlaws' life in the highlands is a miserable life. They can fish – or steal – to make a living. Right now, they want your horses and the little money you carry.

The snow-capped mountains glitter on the horizon.
The village is getting closer. Soon you will be able to smell the smoke coming from the fireplaces.
The cry of a raven is the only sound you hear. You turn around but see only darkness.

Have they given up the chase?
