Kalk said furiously. His voice rose under the high roof of the three-quarters-empty warehouse the town was using to muster its fighters. “They’re pirates,” he half-shouted. “They are pirates, and they did attack, and most of them are dead. The survivors are forty-four first-class fighting-men, and neither you nor I can spare them. Nor are folk who make viking a term of honor in a position to be . . . what was the word they used . . . picky,” Artos said. It was becoming more natural to think of h...imself by that name. Artos is my name, he thought. It always was, in the Craft. Rudi . . . Rudi I can be in private, I suppose. Most of the Kalksthorpe fighters were mustering here, ready to leave at dawn; it was hard cold outside the town wall, and the granular snow was still thick enough for skis. Their families were there to see them off, and a low murmur of voices sounded. Most of the good-byes were quiet and solemn, with fewer embraces or tears than there would have been among Mackenzies, even when a mother tucked the last bundle of fruitcake or rolled socks into a young man’s haversack.
