Werting woke to whispers.

‘Thinks he's more than he is.’

‘We can always cut him down to size.’

‘I’ll cut his fucking throat.’

Embers rippled orange in the fire. The stench of rotten fish rode on a jolting breeze. Werting's clothes hung damp, the cold soaking to his bones.

He tugged a salvaged sailcloth closer around his shoulders and fell back asleep.

Waves thundered so hard that they woke him again. Stars flickered through a gash in the clouds.

‘You can't trust the bastard. He's coming for you.’

‘Out here who will know? The crabs and the gulls?’

Werting woke to a cramp in his foot. Would dawn never come?

A whisper. ‘Men of axes and spears. Knelt at my father's feet.’ It was Oslaf’s voice.

Werting drifted as if the tides carried him away.

The sky had paled but the sea was still black, oddly silent, caught between the pull of the tides. Werting knew it would not last.
