'Reinterpretation' - Wild Roses, unknown taennyn January 19 2009, 23:49:57 UTC
The coloured-threads-and-knots record looked simple. Everyone assumed the most obvious interpretation was the correct one--the idea of encoding two--or three--sets of information in the same record was absurd.

Then someone took another look, paused, and started writing down everything they could see in the record.

The first set was a record or cattle trades and breeding, notes as to which animals died in winter or to predators. The second set was a children's story, singing of fire and the sun.

The third said The Bone Witch's name was Carole leRoux.
