 “We have your sign,” said Thorvin. He held out a pendant on a silver

chain. Shef looked at it curiously: a shaft, with five rungs sticking out from
it on alternate sides.
“What is it?"
“It is a kraki,” replied Thorvin. “A pole-ladder. It is the sign of Rig."
“1 have never heard the name of that god. What can you tell me about
him that should make me wear his sign?”
“He is the god of climbers. Of wanderers. He is mighty not through
himself but through his children. He is the father of Thrall, of Carl, of Jarl.
And of others."
“You have to do it one rung at a time,” replied Thorvin.
“Hard to climb, difficult to balance, to reach the top. But at the top there
are two rungs to grasp on to. One opposite the other. It could almost be a
cross.”
Thorvin frowned. “Rig and his sign were known in the ages before there
ever was a cross. It is not a sign of death. No. It is one of reaching higher,
of living better.”
Shef smiled, the first time he had done that for many days. “I like your
sign, Thorvin,” he said. “I will wear it.” He slipped the Wayman’s pendant
round his neck, turned and looked at the misted sea.
Some knot, some pain within him was released, fled.
For the first time in his entire life he felt at peace.
