Chapter 64: The Mouth of the River
It was the captain in the blue sea coat, the one who had bought Lotte's ice in June.
He was sunburned darker than before, and he hadn't stopped at the alehouse first.
"My lord," he said at the gate. "You'll remember the fisherman's girl. The one who stays under."
"I remember."
"She's not the only one anymore."
I took him up to the lodge, and the cook put barley soup in front of him, and he talked between spoonfuls.
"Your river comes out at Kronhal and runs into the sea," he said. "Then the tide takes it along the coast."
"There are port towns all down that coast for three hundred miles. No lord of Aldmark has ever ruled them."
"Since the spring there are girls in every one of them."
"A baby in the salt port who calls the fish into the harbor when she cries."
"Twin girls in the next town who can make the wind turn. The fishermen pay their mother to take them out in the boats."
"In the town past that, the priests have started saying things about it."
He put his spoon down.
"Nobody down there has ever seen a witch, my lord. There's no law there for them, good or bad."
"The harbor masters heard you'd written one. They asked me to find the man who wrote it."
