"He was there, in a hut somewhere on the hills, he’d become a cunning man, or what was passing for a cunning man in these parts, these days. This was said by just about everyone, they pointed a finger in the direction of the hills and said He appeared over here, the other day, or, in different variations, We saw him wandering the hill at night, we could hear his cans, whatever he was dragging, he was dragging something. He came from somewhere far away, From the stars or somewhere, possibly another country, since here the stars might be another country, there was always a way to get to the stars, those days, even without the help of cunning men. But they come from a long tradition, one that’s dying out, it was said, their books have fallen out of use and are rotting away and we found one after the spring flood, the waters receded and there in the surf was a book, we turned its pages, it was green with seaweed and stained by salt, it exhaled a salt smell no matter how long we kept it, it was taken to the magistrate first and then to the hamlet’s historian who thought better of writing a letter to anyone in the City so far away, there would eventually be people journeying to the City, but not now, now after the spring flood that brings continual disaster, a long line of disaster to the area, beasts and fish and living mud, yes, living mud, like the days the words were spoken by the real cunning men at the shore of the sea, at the basin of the river, in the stones of the creeks, the older cunning men, from the vanished tradition, knew how to call things one by one. But this knowledge was lost, the subtle way with language, with the spells of the ancient books, which we’ve heard about, but have never seen they said, until the book washed up, until they found it buried half in the surf."This is part of the Aquitaine series, a group of texts that grows a world by increments. From Paul Parteau, author of The Grotto, The Brumal Station, and The Year of Approaching Storms.
