"The One Who Carries Voices"
Long ago, when people still spoke to the wind and the mountains, the eagle was not a hunter — it was a messenger.
Tlákwas, the eagle with eyes like sunlight and wings like shadow, never screamed like the others. Instead, when it flew across the skies, it carried important words from one village to another — words that should never be forgotten: gratitude, apology, and promise.
The people did not write. They did not carve. They believed memory lived in feathers. And each time a feather fell, it meant a story was ready to be told.
One day, a war threatened to rise between two tribes. The children were hidden in the forests, and the elders prayed in silence. But Tlákwas did not cry — it flew.
It soared so high that words were no longer sound, but light. And when it returned, the winds shifted. The warriors lowered their weapons. No one knew what Tlákwas had whispered to the sky, but from that day on, the two tribes lived by the same river — like brothers.
And ever since, when you see an eagle perched in stillness on a cliff, do not disturb it.
For it may be listening — carrying your unspoken hopes to the place where they belong.
