Now Damons horrible stepdad was actually a status Indian whose native Cree name was Black Thunderbird.
Damon knew enough about indigenous myths to know that
thunderbirs are either viewed as giant multicoloured eagles
or people with flashing grey eyes and sparks flying off their fingers.
So Damon asked Circe to turn him into a thunderbird so
he could go and drop his nasty stepdad into the nearest lake.
Since Circe was a Greek myth rather then a aboriginal myth,she
was a bit befuddled with Damon's request.
Circe pointed out to Damon that his stepdad was really a evil
thunderbird disguising himself as a human so he and the
other evil thunderbirds could have fun tossing lightening bolts
and making thunder with their flapping wings as they destroyed all white men.
Apparently Black Thunderbird really hated all white men.
Turning Damon into another thunderbird might backfire.
Maybe Damon himself would do evil things once transformed
into a thunderbird ?
However Damons mind was set and so Circe waved her wand
sprinkled some dust on Damon and he turned into a thunderbird.
