The Drygand gifts the Lodestone to the fledgling Kynecht who has shown his readiness, sets it in his brain, and so it becomes the head of the Shell-horned Snake, and the whip-marrow in the backbone becomes the long body of the Snake, and so the fledgling becomes DrygandAlf, a true Halleth of the Edhli, a free Thane of the Drygand, and a newolden Child of the Wolken. He grows within an aukinn glassy flesh which runs with the Samen-flowod. And from his skin grows the Drygand-hame, a many-hued shifting Shadge of fur and feather and scale and bark and leaf and root-hair. And he is truly kynechted, bears the Wealds of the Drygand, can go freely into the Twyrymet whenever he wills, and is guided by the Lodestone toward the Menning to come.
