The first sign of habitation was a fluffy column of black
smoke ascending from the copse of trees. Those who knew where to look, or searched
carefully, could find the twisting path between tightly-packed pines to the
interior. The hut protected by the woody path was large and of sturdy
construction, better than most of the buildings that composed the villages that
dotted the mountainside. Behind the cabin were several rows of wooden frames of
various shapes and sizes. Various bits of biota were stretched out, hung out,
or otherwise suspended to cure in the crisp air and bright sun.
