Amund's feet sank deep into the ground as he moved slowly through the mud, and with each step the muck threatened to pull his boots off with a deep slurping sound. He was making his way to the next log to dig it free so the boy Palry and his mule could tow it clear of the mudslide. The logs were strewn across the hillside, lying half-buried wherever the slide had tossed them. Some were a hundred yards or more further down the slope. This was going to be a long day.
The logs had been part of the wooden palisade that surrounded the town of Barrindal. The slide had taken down a long section of the wall, snapping the tall sharpened pine logs and dragging them toward the river. It also destroyed a small shack just outside the town's perimeter. Yesterday Amund had helped dig out the corpse of Sinsen, a misfit old man who had never been quite at home inside the fence, surrounded by other people. He then gave the man a proper burial under the pines just outside town. Drowned in mud was an ignominious end even for a semi-hermit.
As the mule towed another log out of the muck, he looked away to the north. The land sloped downward in that direction for several miles, through low, forested hills and then out to open plains where the farmers lived and worked. There had been a thick column of smoke in that direction this morning. He thought it must have come from one of the farms that bordered the forest, but he did not know if it indicated ill. Sometimes the farmers would clear some of the forested land, use the trunks for lumber, and burn the rest.
