“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.”
— 1 Corinthians 16:13
A vigil is a night spent awake on purpose.
Before a man was knighted he kept one. Armor laid on the altar, the church dark, and him kneeling in front of it from dusk until the first mass. Nobody watched him do it. No one would know if he slept. That was the test — not whether he could fight, but whether he could stay at his post through the long hours when it would be easy not to.
Most of a man's life is that. Not the battle. The watch. The hours nobody sees, when you hold the line anyway because you said you would.
Plank grain cut down the length of the band, the way a cross was built from timber, not carved from it. A plain cross at either end, so it is at both edges of the opening — there is no way to put it on without one facing you.
Keep the watch.
