![]() Umbo travels with his friend Rigg as he had nowhere to go. As Umbo's father was ashamed of him for perceiving it wrongly, he kicked Umbo out of their house. The innkeeper, Nox, hides Rigg, and gives him money, an address, and nineteen jewels inherited from his father. ![]() Shocked at this discovery, Rigg returns to his town only to find a mob ready to kill him for what they perceived as the murder of Kyokay. ![]() His brother Umbo sees this, starts throwing stones at him, thinking he could make him fall, and tells the villagers that Rigg murdered his brother. Someone else's path overlaps with Kyokay and because of that he is unable to save the boy. During this rescue attempt, the paths around him solidify and people begin to appear in these paths. After his father dies, Rigg tries to save a boy named Kyokay on the Stashi Falls (the waterfalls close to Rigg's home). His father dies impaled by a tree, and the man's parting words were to find not Rigg's mother, but his sister, a person of whom Rigg had had no knowledge. His father is his mentor, and so he has taught Rigg everything he knows. ![]() He spends his time hunting with his father in the mountains, trapping for valuable pelts. The book begins with Rigg, a boy that has the strange ability to see the path of any living being, no matter how long ago it existed. ![]()
