West King Wind, North War Wind, all good, new. Kargzant-sun, Arandalya-horse biggest spirit, new little spirits good. We strong tribe. But until Sheng return, moon-demons stronger. Moon-demons say, child born with red hair, give to them for eat when ten-and-three.
“I has red hair. I not want be eat, my sister Felesta not want me be eat, rest of tribe say moon-demons too strong. Felesta brave, she clever, Sun Daughter bless her. She find me horse, she find plants make hair not red, she find food, water. She say, I go south. Find place where no moon-demons, find new spirits. So, I go.
“Go south, long way. Lot Prax-bast…” (looks sideways at No-Bison) “…Prax-men. Too many. All oasis, Prax…. men. One time, get water, get caught. They kill horse, give to moon-demons, but moon-demons not know has red hair so not eat. Chain, take south, make dig in mine. Lots peoples make dig in mine.
