Copper Thunderbird Woman soared lazily through the clouds.From the ground she looked like just another shadow drifting in the clouds.She circled lazily above her godchild,keeping an eye out for her till she hitched a ride out of the National Park.
Noisy Deer Woman ( aka Jared) looked like she had stepped out of a book on native american history.She had on a long deerskin robe to better hide her legs,and her two sons were also similarly wrapped to cover their lower extremities.
Native American legends would have described Jared as a nature spirit,a demigod.Though she appeared as a 18 ish indian girl,she had the lower legs and cloven hooves of a doe.
Old legends talked of deer women like her.They were dazzlingly beautiful and would entice away the chiefs son.They would then kick the indian brave to death with their hooves.They were wild spirited and dangerous.
As Copper Thunderbird Bird Woman cirled overhead,she wondered if she should tell her godchild about the old indian legends.Jareds supernatural powers were rapidly awakening.
It hadn't taken Jared long after she had heard of her ancestral origins to ask her godmother to return her and her two sons to human form.Her godmother had taught her how to shift forms,and then watched while Jared filled out into a fine young woman with raven black hair which sparked and crackled.She had hooves,and when she applied the power of transformation to her two sons they two revealed their deer and thunder origins.
Some how that medallion had reawaken dormant thunder magic.Jared had not returned to her past human form,but as a devil in a deerskin dress.And it was only beginning.In terms her godmother could only understand,she was but a newborn infant.
Copper Thunderbird Woman watched while the truck pulled over to the side of the road.Jared first placed the bundle containing the feathered robe,the eagle talon necklace and the medicine bundle in the truck.Then she unstrapped the papoose containing her two sons and placed it inside the truck.She got in.
The truck drove off.A shadow in the clouds followed it.
Jared was reentering the world.
