A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The mill-keeper's daughter had been walking the salt road for nine days when the cart came up behind her, pulled by a grey ox with one ear missing. The driver was a man called Oswin Teague, who had three things in the back under a sheet of tarred cloth, and who had not yet told anybody what they were for.

He let her ride. She asked about the sheet and he said it held a triangle, a ring and a rod, and that a traveller who owned all three could walk through the wall at Carrow without the gate ever opening. She laughed, because she had grown up on stories where men carried swords, not furniture. Then the ox stopped dead at the edge of the marsh, its ears pinned flat, and two small grey mice sat up in the road ahead of it, round-eared and bright-eyed, and spoke with one voice.

"You have brought the mill's old things back," they said. "Give them to us and we will carry you across."

Oswin looked at the girl. She looked at the mice. Then she lifted the tarred cloth herself and took out the ring, because it was the only thing small enough to close in her fist, and she set it down on the road between them.

The mice bowed. The marsh went quiet. When the cart rolled on, the ox was calm and the sheet was lighter by a whole third, and Oswin never asked the girl what she had left on the wet ground, though he swore for the rest of his life that the stone beneath the ring had been warm.
