The Golden Feather
The giant black bird soared gracefully high above towering snowcapped mountains. An Eagle almost as large as large flew effortlessly below. Taelo did not know the mountains. He knew he was in a new place, but it also felt ancient. A cool morning breeze lifted the hide covering the entrance to his hutch. Perhaps he would understand the dream.
Golden Hawk had a similar dream. He saw a strange village built into the mountain.
Taelo brought up the fact that he and Golden Hawk were planning on a trek he asked the team if they were interested in such a venture.
Every one of the team wanted to come. Little Otter voiced the one possible barrier the team might face. Would the Elk Clan leaders allow them to leave at such a time?
They cleared the hurtle with the leadership.
Their journey to the far southern mountains led to the discovery of an advanced population, the Condor Clan.
All seems well until their new friend, Bold Walker, son of the Condor Clan leader, shares the fact that his sister, Feather-in-the-Wind, has been selected to be sacrificed to the Condor. This event happened every ten seasonal cycles. The selection of the young woman to be sacrificed to be the mate of the Condor was made based on the beauty and the pureness of the one that was chosen.
Feather-in-the-Wind is celebrated by the entire Condor Clan and led up the mountain to the cave of the Condor.
There she is placed next to more than one hundred frozen beautiful former sacrifices.
She is saved by Quiet Rabbit and Busy Bee. Taelo and the team take her with them and return to the Elk Clan.
They meet an enemy Warrior Clan on their return journey. This obstacle is overcome.
This adventure earns Taelo the distinction of becoming a member of all the Clans and he is awarded the Golden Feather.
