A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... sorta but no...

by



In what had been dubbed the dark ages another land on the other side of Gaia had held a great deal of grandure and a world that some have argued been more primitive than Greek and Norse history. This tribe was a long forgotten one called the Shesosa, lost in the ages of time to many of the reasonings that historians have come to gather their own conclusions to.

His tribe had been a very humble people. The women cared for the children and raised them with good strong values. Bringing them up with open minds and open hearts. Welcoming strangers with open arms and embracing friends and family.


He was called Spirit of the Hunting Wolf (Ishnowakee). The medicine man of his peoples. He was very wise for his years and many elders held him in high regard. In his years he had many visions and knew of the day when he was about to pass on to be with his ancestors and learn of their wisdom in the Happy Hunting Grounds.

But on this day he awoke from a fitful sleep and spoke with the elder council of his tribe.

Neeshowakoom (Tall Bears) listened to his words.

" I saw the wolves of the north attack our people but we perservered and sent them back but it was all at a great cost. I saw my life ended that day. But this woman stood before me and her hair was as gold as the grassy fields on a bright autumn day. Her eyes were as blue as the crystal and bright like the waters of the springs we drink from. But she was like no other woman because she had wings greater than the eagles. But her beauty left me breatheless."

Neeshowakoom nodded sagely as he lifted the pipe and watched the fires burn. " This troubles you so and yet I have nothing that can offer you aid or understanding. But if there is more for you to speak then please go on."

Ishnowakee nodded. " I watched her protect me as they were about to do more harm to my spirit. And they tore her wings off and cast her into the great fires of their lands. But they spoke to me and told me that to save her it will be my task to help her find redemption if it should come to that."

Neeshowakoom smiled. " This woman from far away may very well know your plight and may actually be the strength you must draw from for the both of you to finally know what it is that both of you are longing for and looking to understand. Maybe even it is just an imaginative dream you came up with on your own Ishnowakee. You commune with spirits on a daily basis and have often done a great deal many things for our people. Maybe this is just the spirits way of telling you that for your youth and young years your very wisdom may also be blinding you to that which you not know. None of us are to always know all. For when we do..."

" We pass on to the next place."

" Very good Ishnowakee. Now let us smoke and pray for that our understanding now is all we need."
