I
struck out at my enemy.
Downward-looking Sun, you saw me
as I myself struck him.
In the future
when I meet my enemy again
I will overcome him.
-Crow warrior's oath
Some
things can never be forgiven.
I
tried to follow their trail.
The darkness was pulling at me...
I was there Joshua
Somehow my footsteps guided me to a burial place...
I saw that it was Crow, my own nation.
I lay down, and the darkness closed around me.
I
died I know I died. Then you called--
I
have given you this medicine.
That plume is the body of your horse, it cannot be shot.
When a person is shot, he is considered a man.
I have placed you amoung the Crow.
Henceforth you shall not be driven back by the enemy.
I have given you everything that makes a man.
-Speech of the Spirit Messenger in Humped Wolf's vision
Spawn
of Satan! I thank God for giving me a second chance!
Girl:
I ... I don't understand.
Joshua: Nor do I.
I know that I died...
in another time...
There was a terrible war --
white man fought white man, north against south...
Girl: The civil war? That's over a hundred years ago!
Joshua: and yet they are here.
How can it be?
Were their souls unable to rest-
cursed by their own wickedness?
What
a priceless gift you have made me, Crow!
In
the dead time I was only a scream.
Did you hear me, renegade?
or were your ears always deaf to the cries of those you hurt?
and
there is more to come!
but
fate moves in cicles evil one.
Now
your face is painted black.
the color of revenge.
