Teya’ka was a messenger between man and the ancestors.
It was not born from an egg, but from a bolt of spirit lightning.
Its wings were aflame, its eyes were unquenchable embers.
Teya’ka was a messenger between man and the ancestors.
It flew through the sky like a living flame in space.
It did not sing, but the wind through its wings sounded like a sacred drum.
The natives believed that whoever dreamed of it would bring light to the tribe.
Every winter, the campfire lit up with its story.
It left no trace, only courage in the heart.
And when the sky was red, people whispered: “Teya’ka flew here.”
