The Second Circlet: The Old Places - Prologue. The Remaining One
He is weak. Weak from his foundations. Flowers few. Stamens sterile. Fruit gone.
The Water inside him has been tainted.
At last he was dying.
He had been alive since before the coming of Man. He became aware of their many wonders and marveled at them, but for him their whole history seemed but a blink in time.
The Circle of Man, in lush places, had made things from the earth as was their amazing power. He has seen even as far as Egypt when it was still green....and He was old then. He remembered through the Waters what had been. What had been across oceans of Water and time.
White towers of stone rising to touch God. Built to celebrate kings thought as gods...even though they knew nothing of God. Not then. The Dragon had deranged and blinded them with such terrible ease.
The Dragon was even older than Father Brazil Nut Tree.
The Dragon was older than life.
......and It hated all life.
Father Brazil Nut Tree's wood groaned. The Dragon was here and it had come for him: the last of the Old Things in the Old Places. The last of Memory.
