5. Wainamoinen falls into the sea, and a storm drives him far from shore.
6. Youkahainen boasts that he kills his rival, while his mother mourns the loss of wisdom and music.

In questo rune

Cosa notare

Youkahainen makes his rivalry more important than his mother’s warning. His decision turns preparation into an attack.
