Moreover  they  were  talking  abou  the  Sign  as  the  Arabs,  what  Sign?  Years  after  the
               kidnnaping, I still looking me at the mirror searching for the holy Sign that had taken those
               unfortunate to the death; and I never found anything abnormall. Neither suspected that Dad
               believed in existence of such signal –Or stigma? –.


                      A torment of ideas were spinning disordered, while I was seen absently Rudolph Hess
               examinating the silver serpent.

                      Suddenly,  introducing  the  hand  through  the  neckline  of  the  windbreaker  jacket,  he
               extracted a cord that surrounded his neck. There was a silver serpent hanging on it, exactly
               equal to mine!

                      Rudolph Hess had joined them in his hand for the contemplation of my Dad and, after
               some  minutes,  he  put  his  own  and  saved  the  other  in  the  pocket.  Instants  later  both  were
               entering  to  the  warm  livingroom  without  mentioning  the  theme  of  their  precedent
               conversation.

                      This reserved attitude convinced me about the inconvenience to talk in some manner of
               the matter, because I’d reveal the censurable committed espionage.  I didn’t think it a lot: I’d
               quiet  until they talk me about it directly,  but I promised to  myself to  do the impossible to
               obtain information concerning to the mysterious Sign.

                      Were the two o’clock in the morning and Uncle Kurt stood up with the intention to leave
               to his room. I didn’t reproach this attitude due to he had been talking many hours, but the
               narration  awakened  inquietudes  and  questions  in  my  Spirit,  turning  me  impatient  and
               thoughtless.


                      –Uncle  Kurt  –I  said  –  It’s  late,  I  know  and  I  also  know  that  tomorrow  we’ll  have  to
               continue the conversation, but I really need you to answer two questions before you leave.

                      –Hahahaha –He laughed with his terrible horselaugh –You’re just like Me at your age:

                      you need to obtain answers to live. It’s like a thrist. I comprehend you neffe, what do
               you want to know?

                      –Just two things –I said–. First: Is there any chance that such Sign that the Arabs saw on
               you, be the same that Belicena Villca saw on me?

                      –Undoubtedly  neffe  –He  replied–.  The  sign  means  a  lot  of  things,  but  it  is  also  a

               Sanguine Signum and both of us have the same blood. The blood is not a determinant factor
               for the apparition of the Sign but it is a «condition of quality»; if a sign appears in members of
               our family is the same sign.
