VIII. The Gods Speak To Me Long afterwards, Rig grew old and tired, always in desperation to seek out a solution to quiet the voices. Consulting his volva and his monks did not seem to help. In his throne room he told his thegns, his trusted drengir, and those close to him, "I am to die soon but not at the hand of my foes. Nor will I die in a barrel of ale. I will follow the gods to their holiest temples and drink from the grail that makes us immortal." He desired a final pilgrimage to see Miklagard, the house of the gods he called it. The voice that speak to him grew louder and angrier in the weeks following his announcement, warning him of a treacherous day. "You are the son that left Goldness and traveled east." "The old gods torment me, but my newfound God loves me," he told Brissy. "My new God will grant me truth and eternal life." He took a flotilla of men to Miklagard, to seek penitence and solace as a complete convert but also as an angel to God. For him, this pilgrimage would seal his destiny and allow him full communion with this voice that pestered his mind.
