      I begin my crossing of the wide muddy river on my horse. Behind me
   are the empty spaces where the tipis of my tribe used to stand. Only the
   sacred grounds of our dead remain. No warriors guard the forests. Where
   there should be the loud voices of children at play is only the sigh of
   the wind. All is emptiness now. My heart feels this the more so since my
   lover is dead.

      That bitter truth burdens my spirit while my flesh suffers from having
   lost its better half. "Oh Big Horn! Why did you go?!" I cry out. My
   breaths are labored from my deep heart-pain. I gaze upwards to look for
   his spirit in the Above; it's only blue sky. I'm left on our Mother with
   an empty hand that he can no longer grasp. My fingers close into a tight
   fist. Anger rises within me because of my loss and the woe my life has
   become. The dark power of anger helps me to keep my weaker emotions in
   check.

      A loud sob escapes me though. Tears threaten to fall. I shouldn't be
   allowing myself to surrender to weak emotions! I'm no longer a boy though
   I'm not yet a brave until my initiation into manhood. Big Horn was going
   to stand at my side in two moons to give me a brave's name but he is gone.
   My tribe is also gone. I'm left to wander in search of them.

      My horse snorts with concern. He's reminding me that there is danger
   here. The recent storms have swollen the river's flow so I must keep my
   eyes out for floating debris that could strike against Pai-alucia's legs.
   He is a good horse. My only living link to Big Horn who had shared in our
   male love. Another sob erupts from me. I feel my body shaking with pain
   that has come from my broken heart. `Oh Big Horn.'

      My plea for help is a vain one. He has gone. I force my eyes open to
   stare into the churning muddy waters. The biting cold of the river runs
   against my legs, turning them numb. My days of fasting to find my animal
   helper has left my muscles exhausted, my body aching and weak. I welcome
   the physical pain so that my broken heart may be silenced.

      Pai-alucia pauses his swim to rest over a sandbar. A bright flash of
   memory fills my head for this is where Song Bird and I had first naked
   embraced. His smaller body had felt nice next to mine; at eleven years of
   age his groin had been smooth and only a small pole had pushed out to
   press against my bigger erection. It was our last summer of innocence as
   boys. We didn't understand the hard swelling of our male bodies causes
   from our close hug and it had ended too quickly to explore what could have
   been. Two girls had laughed at us from the bank. It had shamed my young
   friend badly. We didn't attempt another embrace until this summer. In this
   same river. I found a silver ring at its bottom and had given it to Song
   Bird as my pledge of love unto him.

      "Oh, you are gone from me too!" My head bows in a sad remembrance. The
   boy of my heart still lives but I've had to give him up when taking a man
   for my lover. I've also had to accept the responsibilities that come from
   joining the Mahyee-na. Our society doesn't allow the sexual initiation of
   young boys; only newly named men. In my last free days as a boy, I had
   bound myself to Song Bird in a love that went beyond the joining of our
   flesh. He understood what we were doing with our bodies and accepted it
   since we had been long-time friends. I'm nearly a man now. Song Bird has
   taken to another boy; his father's newly adopted white son of sun hair and
   sky blue eyes. I wonder where they are now?

      I must find them along with my tribe!  My legs tighten around
   Pai-alucia's sides to coax him back into the river's strong flow. The
   biting cold returns to my legs. A good pain. It helps to drown out the
   pain of my heart.

      When we reach the other side, I turn Pai-alucia towards the river. I
   take a moment to look back at where my tribe had settled for more than the
   fifteen years of my life. Only empty ground remains. The body of my
   warrior lover rests on a wooden platform set apart from the other dead.
   Why is that?

      There is also another mystery. I found the charred remains to Big
   Horn's tipi in camp. Why had it been burned down and by whom? When I had
   left my lover in the care of our shaman four days ago, he was being
   possessed by an evil spirit; the Trickster whose man-shape he had killed
   in my defense. Has the Trickster avenged himself or did Big Horn die by
   his own hand?! This last thought makes me shudder in fear. If he did, I
   must be fulfilling my vow to join him with the damned in the underworld!

      No. Big Horn had promised me that he would not kill himself. Though
   blinded in sight and falling further under the Trickster's evil spell, he
   had heard my rash vow to join him in death if he were to carry out his
   planned suicide. So how did my lover die? Was it a bad ending for him?

      My vision begins to swim. I wasn't there to hold him when he left the
   earth. Tears flow down my cheeks and drop to my chest like sad rain drops.
   I keep my moans in my throat. He is gone! My People have flown their
   encampment but to where? There are no answers here so I must go in pursuit
   of them.

      My eyes look to the ground. I easily find the deep lines from travois
   that have come out from the river. They are trampled over by horse tracks
   and from the numerous steps of my People. A path is given me to follow. I
   kick my horse to a trot in the right-handed direction from where Father
   Sun rises in His sky.

      The land before me is rolling with low hills. There are a few stands of
   trees and my heart squeezes with fear when remembering the Trickster's
   haunt in one of them. The passage of my People winds between the small
   forests. On foot, they cannot be too far away! Yet I keep myself from
   forcing a gallop upon my horse since his strength must be saved for the
   journey ahead. A long one?

      As I follow the wounded ground, a thought strikes me. Why has no effort
   been made to cover the tracks of my People's passage? And why do they
   travel in this direction? The vast forests behind me over the river would
   be safer and are empty of enemy tribes. Our men prefer the hunting of deer
   in the woods than in open plains stalking. It doesn't make any sense. The
   rolling hills before me lead to the camps of our enemies: the Spear-bearing
   Tribe and a splintered People from our own tribe who would not welcome us.
   Perhaps it is because elk and the buffalo can be found out here. Do our
   warriors plan to hunt before leading our People to a new camp?

      I don't understand what has happened or what has driven my tribe from
   their long encampment by the river. Pai-alucia trots behind the echoes of
   their feet. The sharp pain of my heart has settled down to a dull aching
   while fear has crept into my chest. These are dangerous lands to be
   traveling through alone.

      I cast my eyes out for danger. Only the low bushes and an occasional
   tree can be found. The land is still. No animals are sighted. Is it
   possible that the passage of my People was a recent one?

      My dusty ride continues throughout the afternoon.

      When Father Sun is close to setting down His golden head to sleep, I
   look about for a safe night camp. I avoid the woods. They have brought me
   and Big Horn ill luck on our last outing. No. I'd rather risk sleeping out
   in the open than to disturb one of the Trickster's haunts!

      I get down from Pai-alucia and lead him away from the path of my
   People. It's not safe to camp there. As their passage has drawn my
   journeying, too it could be attracting enemy warriors. Big Horn's training
   is ever in my mind.

      Darkness falls. It soothes the dark mood of my heart and I welcome the
   cooling air over my sweating body. I've forgotten how hot the plains can
   be. My last travel through these parts was with Big Horn on foot. He had
   accompanied me to my rabbit snares. A smile crosses my lips in sweet
   remembrance for that was when the man had given me a first initiation into
   the Mahyee-na. He offered me his butt and I touched my butt to his in an
   acceptance of male love. As my monedo, Big Horn had been teaching me the
   ways of becoming a man but on that day he embraced me in sexual training.
   A lusty belly rub had followed that spent our love's seed to one another.
   My first mating!

      The smile fades from my lips. I angrily tug on Pai-alucia's reins to
   get us further off the path in search of a night camp. My arms suddenly
   become heavy. I'm feeling very tired and a loud ringing fills my ears. When
   my legs weaken below me, I find myself falling to the ground with one of my
   arms reaching out to break my fall. A consuming darkness fills my eyes...

      Pain! Fists strike at me from a warrior without a face. His harsh
   strength tries stealing my life while his hatred eats at my spirit. I
   cannot allow it! With dry eyes, I face my enemy with my anger. Great anger
   like a storm! My clenched fingers form rock-hard fists to match his hand
   strikes. It makes me very powerful.

      A naked boy comes to stand before me with obvious male excitement. He
   gives me a weak grin that I laugh at in mocking contempt. I'm a proud
   warrior with many coups and proven feats of my strength and cunning. How
   can he think to share in my greatness? What can he offer for me to accept
   his puny love?

      Something cold brushes against my butt. It's followed by a soft
   nickering of concern. Ah. Pai-alucia is hungry. I slowly rise from the
   dirt in the early morning light and remember. The night has passed! I
   quickly glance about for danger. None. My limbs still feel weak and my
   mouth is greatly thirsted. I'm a long time getting to my feet. Water is
   taken from a bulging skin tied over the horse's back. Within a small pouch
   is found a few strips of jerky that I greedily chew down. My recent
   fasting rite has drained my strength and it has left me ill prepared for
   this journey.

      Pai-alucia nickers again. He nibbles at the remaining leaves of a bush
   for his breakfast. I give him a fond hug of gratitude for having guarded
   over me during the night. It was fortunate that nothing bad happened
   during my weakness. I scold myself for such carelessness! An experienced
   brave would have given himself a proper rest before attempting a journey
   after a fasting. What would Big Horn have thought of my foolishness?

      I bow my head in shame. He may no longer be alive but I can still hear
   his words of advice speaking to me inside my head: `Rest. Take stock of
   what food and water you have and secure more for the journey ahead. Be ever
   vigilant!'

      I keep a hold of Pai-alucia's shaggy body and share warmth with him.
   The mornings are cool on the plains though by the afternoon, the touch of
   Father Sun's fiery hand will cause me to sweat. Water is very important.
   It's fortunate that Tree Snake had filled both water skins. There's not
   much food though. Only a few fingers of smoked venison remains. A thought
   strikes me. I know where I can find some rabbits!

      I keep my actions slow to prevent my weakened body from failing me as
   before. I carefully mount up on Pai-alucia. After a long study of the
   surrounding hills, I get my bearings and head to the small gully where
   I've set up my traps and snares. It's not far. How long has it been since
   I've gone there to fetch rabbits? My head bows in sadness. Not since Big
   Horn had accompanied me on that morning of my initiation into the
   Mahyee-na.

      I violently shake my head to cast my sadness away. It won't serve me
   now. I must leave behind the path of my People until I've rested and have
   better prepared myself for the journey ahead.

      Pai-alucia trots between the low hills. I cling to his back while
   trying to conserve my strength. It's a bumpy ride. Over my butt, I feel
   the coolness of the morning air. A smile crosses my lips. I've kept that
   part of my body uncovered to announce to any needing man my Mahyee-na
   desire to get it fucked. How many times has it been seeded? My first lover
   was Song Bird who did me only after I raped his little butt. Big Horn
   fucked me in his tipi and I also spermed his ass to complete my passage
   into the Mahyee-na.

      On our visit with the Moss-bowl Tribe, I offered myself to several men
   but they wouldn't allow me to fuck them in return. A young man named
   Sings-to-the-birds was initiated by Big Horn into our society. We had both
   enjoyed stabbing through that brave's tight ass and he fulfilled his male
   need in our butts. There was also a sweet boy who had performed his first
   manly act in me.

      A twinge of guilt squeezes my heart. I had allowed Night's Star to
   stick into my butthole; two times of sperming me and it was kept secret
   even from my Big Horn. That boy was similar to Song Bird with whom I could
   have come to love but I gave him to Sings-to-the-birds. That initiated
   brave now leads his new boy friend down the path of the Mahyee-na. I hope
   that their love has blossomed.

      My nose fills with a bitter pain when I fight back tears. I no longer
   have Big Horn to embrace my sexual needs. That warrior was much more to me
   than male pleasuring but it's my body that cries out its longing to join
   with another. His face will always appear before any other with whom I may
   make love to so I don't know if I'll ever feel that kind of happiness
   again with any man or even with a boy. My heart can only take so many
   blows. I've lost Song Bird and now, my Big Horn. I won't love any other!

      I pull hard on the horse's reins. Thoughts are forced from my head so
   that I can concentrate on what I'm doing and where I am going Now. I'm so
   tired of suffering from the heaviness in my heart. To allow my woe venting
   could get me killed! My lover is gone. I've been separated from my People
   so I must return to them. My mother also needs to be cared for. I have my
   initiation into manhood to undergo and under the guidance of our shaman, I
   hope to serve our People as he has with our Father's blessings. My life's
   path is set out before me. Walk it, Willow Bird!

      I give Pai-alucia a hard kick to get him back into a trot. We soon
   approach the gully where I've set up my rabbit traps. A small stream runs
   through these low hills which are blanketed with sweet grass. It's a good
   place. Small animals come here to feed. I get down from my horse and lead
   him to where there should be some snared rabbits.

      After a careful search, my hopes are dashed. Someone has smashed my
   stick traps and cut the twine snares. The perpetrator's footsteps have
   been brushed away from the dirt to hide his identity. I tie Pai-alucia to
   a bush so that I can make a careful study of the ground. Something might
   have been left behind to explain what has happened here and who has done
   this bad thing.

      Could it have been Iron Bow?  My thoughts return to the day when that
   warrior had discovered Song Bird and myself naked in a wet embrace hiding
   in the woods. He knew what we had done and claimed that in his youth, a
   boy had loved him too. For that man's silence, I agreed to deliver three
   fat rabbits to his fire spit. A promise that I've not kept. Iron Bow is a
   warrior who's quick to anger. Perhaps he's avenged himself upon me by
   coming here to break my rabbit traps.

      A faint marking catches my eye. I push against the ground-hugging
   branches of a thorn bush and find a moccasin footprint. The tiny hairs
   rise up on the back of my neck. I've seen this shaped print before! After
   my fasting rite, I had gone in search of Tree Snake who was not at the
   place where he was to wait for me. I left the Wanderer's Canyon and found
   his dead body. The warrior had been scalped. Around him were the soft
   moccasin prints of four men and three horses; the pressed ground revealing
   to my eyes that two of them had raped Tree Snake.

      Great anger builds in my chest. They have passed through here -
   destroyed my rabbit snares?! I release my pent-up anger in a low growl. My
   thoughts race. If not those same men, then someone from their tribe who
   wears that style of moccasins. Not the Spear-bearing warriors. Like our
   men, they walk barefooted. I'm facing an enemy tribe of unknown origins.

      I continue my search for more footprints. It would be helpful to learn
   if the perpetrator is one man or many and how long ago they had passed
   through after smashing my traps. These are nagging questions in my mind. I
   hunch low to the ground to find more clues.

      The sound of a bubbling stream comes to my ears. I'm thirsted so I turn
   from the likely path of the perpetrator to get a cool drink of water. As
   I'm about to dip my cupped hand into the clear stream, I spy fresh
   footprints in the mud. A quick glance along the bank reveals a pile of
   clothes. They are a man's discarded breechclout, war shirt and moccasins!

      "Aiiiii!" shouts the war cry of a brave.

      I'm attacked! A hard blow is delivered to my face and I'm pushed down
   to the ground. He struggles above me - tries to grab my Wa-ha (white man's)
   knife tied to my thong belt. I see the great hatred that he has for me in
   his dark eyes. My hand grips his over my knife. He manages to pull it away
   from my thong belt but in a clever ploy, I reverse my arm's strength to
   match his pulling. Our hands fly to his chin and strike against it with a
   loud crack.

      The man drops to the ground, unmoving. I rise to my knees over him
   while laboring for breath. Our battle is so quickly done? I have won it!

      After catching my breath, I stand with my knife at the ready over the
   young brave. He is naked. His hair has been cut short in the style of
   Sings-to-the-birds' People but he is not one of them. This man is a wearer
   of moccasins. The features of his face are also different; ugly. Which
   tribe is he from? I need answers.

      I take a quick look around to ensure that there are no others. What was
   this man doing in my gully? Why was he naked? I look at his pile of
   clothes on the bank and surmise that he was cleaning his body in the
   stream. It's too shallow to swim in.

      The man has a nice small body. Strength shows in his arms and chest yet
   his butt is small and nicely rounded like a boy's. How old is he? There
   are no warrior's feathers in his short hair so I guess him to be only a
   few years older than myself; no more than seventeen.

      The brave will be questioned when he awakens. To prevent him from
   running away, I secure my captive with thong from his breechclout tied
   around his legs. His hands are also bound yet he'll still be able to
   gesture when I'm questioning him. Big Horn's training is ever in my mind.
   I run back to fetch Pai-alucia while keeping my eyes out for enemy
   warriors. He may not be alone.

      When I return to the stream, I tie my horse to a bush. The young brave
   feigns unconsciousness which brings a grim smile to my lips. I've noticed
   his differing position over the dirt. He must have been trying to crawl
   away in my absence. With my foot, I kick the man's butt while a chuckle
   erupts from me. He lifts his head to gaze up at me - a look of trapped
   animalistic hatred on his face.

      "Do you speak my tongue?" I ask. When the young brave gives no reply, I
   move my hands in word gesturing. `Which tribe you from?'

      `Which tribe you from?' the brave gestures back.

      I kick the man's ass hard and gesture, `I ask questions!' Only a smug
   grin is offered me as his reply. I suspect that he knows more about what's
   going on here but as my enemy, he knows that I will probably kill him
   afterwards. That's a sad truth. I cannot leave behind an enemy who could
   tell others about my presence or chase after me with revenge in his heart.
   How to get him to talk when facing that?

      A bold idea comes to me. I gesture to the young brave what I already
   may know about him. `You travel with three others on three horses. Scalp
   taken from feathered warrior after his butt used like seeding a woman.' I
   look for signs of recognition in the man to what I've gestured. Nothing.
   He keeps his face filled with anger that is hard to read through. A brief
   glance is taken of my horse though.

      I gesture in triumph, `That my smart horse; he escaped from you.' The
   young brave only glares back at me in silence. It's causing me to grow
   very angry. I may not be getting answers from the brave, as expected, but
   his defiance and smug attitude is really making me mad. I kick him in the
   face. Blood starts to run from his mouth and my big toe feels pain from
   where I must have struck teeth.

      `I've sworn to avenge the death of that warrior you've slain!' I
   gesture. My hands form ugly contortions to describe how he will die.
   Again, the brave glares back at me with his smug expression. He acts as if
   I'm the one bound hand and foot at his mercy. I will show him! In my great
   anger, I tear my breechclout from my body to display my manhood
   excitement. Having power over another man - an enemy of my People has made
   my loins swell. I kneel to the dirt at the brave's side and start
   caressing the soft cheeks of his butt with obvious lust.

      The man struggles against the thongs tying his hands and legs. I half
   hope that he could escape so that we'd embattle each other again; our
   bared hard flesh tested against one another. I find my knife and sheathe
   it in the dirt near his head. He gets my point. My legs straddle his thighs
   when my hands reach down for his flexing ass. I get to enjoy the naked man
   flesh I'm about to make into a squaw. My mouth drops to his cheeks and
   licks between their sweaty parting for a taste of his opening: a brown
   hairless hole so tight and musky. I suspect that the brave is a virgin!

      Between my legs, my brown dick is oozing from sweet expectation. I lay
   over my captive for a connection between our male bodies. His tied hands
   are pinned under him. Our legs struggle for position over the dirt but the
   young brave is no match for my unbound strength and lust. I hug his slim
   shoulders. My dick slips between the crack of his butt and dives in,
   straight and hard.

      The man howls out when I sheathe into his ass. An alarming thought
   strikes me: what if his companions are close by? They'd find me naked and
   vulnerable to their attack while I'm raping their friend. I take a quick
   look around. Nothing. Pai-alucia nibbles at the leaves of the bush I've
   tied him to. A giggle escapes from my lips. He'll have to guard over me
   while I perform my manly task.

      My dick is squeezed by the man's butthole from pain. He doesn't know
   how to relax his ringed muscles to make it an easy joining for him. Yes.
   He's a virgin. It gives me an added to thrill to know that I'm forcing my
   male need upon a man who's only interest in breeding with the opposite
   sex. I'll show him how it feels to play the degrading role of a squaw.

      My thrusts begin. The young man below me takes in pained breaths while
   I rape his asshole with my hard dick. The thrills are slow to build in my
   loins. A part of me senses the wrongness of what I do; it's an unloving
   act. One that I myself had endured at the hands of an evil Trickster...
   but I'm not evil. This man and his friends had brutalized Tree Snake and
   killed him. I only do what my enemies have done before me.

      It is unusual for me to be on top. I'm usually the bitch in heat lying
   in the dirt with my butt getting taken by the stronger male above me. Now,
   I'm forcing myself onto a man older than myself who should have won that
   battle between us. If he had, I would probably be dead now.

      Would this brave had used my body before cutting my throat? Tree Snake
   was fucked by two men before he was killed; was this brave a part of that
   war party? Anger builds in me in grim remembrance. I strike my enemy with
   my fleshy dagger to avenge my fasting guardian's death!

      My hands tighten around the man's shoulders when my stabs go deep. I
   let him hear the pleasure his butt is giving me through my low moans. It
   must be very shameful for the brave to be used like a squaw by a mere boy.
   Even if he were to live, that shame would forever mar his honor as a man.

      The sexual thrills feel wonderful in my dick. Much pleasure! I'm given
   a twinge of guilt for trying to give my seed to a man other than my Big
   Horn. No. My lover is dead so I'm no longer bound by our pa-he-wat-che to
   keep that part of myself for only him. Besides, it's not love that drives
   the motion of my dick. It's from my great hatred that I have for this
   enemy brave that drives my body in lust; my thrusts are like my Wa-ha
   knife striking his body: stab Stab STAB!

      My butt humps like a wild man when I dive into the man's butt below me.
   He no longer fights me as before. Why not? I've enjoyed our sexual
   struggle. The sense of power I'm given over my enemy is very sweet. It
   makes me a proven man. I realize that he'll be my first kill. His scalp
   will promote my rank from mere boy to that of honored warrior!

      My lips descend to the young brave's ear in a kiss. My breath hisses
   like a snake that has captured him for the kill. I am eating him. When the
   man can no longer contain his pain, he howls out over the dirt like the
   fallen buffalo to my spear. At that moment I feel my greatest thrills! My
   loins erupt and shoot seed through my long dick into his butthole to fill
   him again and again. I cry out in triumphant ecstasy while the beaten man
   groans from defeat.

      It is done. My sweet male relief quickly gives way to a bitter sadness.
   The man below me must die at my hand... and I hardly even know him. He is
   my enemy and one of the four men that I must avenge for Tree Snake's
   death. Even knowing that doesn't make the task easier for me.

      I delay it by clutching the brave while I rest. His body has become
   heated and slippery against mine. In his asshole is my seed; my life in
   him. What I've done seems wrong... and what I have to be doing even more
   so.

      I lift my head from the man's and push on his back to separate our male
   connection. My dick is stained from taking his butt. Bile rises in my
   throat which I painful force back down to my stomach. I become angry with
   myself for my weak feelings coming from remorse and in regret to what I
   must now do. The sun glints meanly from the metal of my Wa-ha knife
   sticking in the dirt. I reach down for it.

      I'm taken off guard. In a clever maneuver, the young man turns himself
   over the ground to face me. Utter hatred blares out from his wild eyes. He
   shrieks at me in a loud war cry! His bound legs rise up in their attempt
   to strike my chest. They're easily knocked away by my hand strike. In a
   flash, I've noticed his hard manhood display.

      Sounds come out of the brave in a harsh uttering. Strange words that
   hold no meaning for me. I'm feeling some pity for the man's plight as if I
   was the one who was raped and waiting for death's strike. I try summoning
   up the horrible images of Tree Snake's murder to lend me strength but all
   I can see is the fear in the man's face below me. My hand slowly withdraws
   from the grounded blade.

      An unbearable silence comes between us. He turns from the knife to
   stare into my face for an explanation. My eyes are locked to his.
   Something passes between us that goes beyond the inadequate shaping of
   words; it touches my spirit with an understanding. Tears fill my eyes. I
   lower them in shame because of the weakness that I'm revealing before my
   enemy. He knows what I must do. I'm sure that he would perform the
   expected thing if he were in my place.

      "I am Willow Bird," my mouth utters of its own accord. "How can I do
   what is expected of me if I don't want to do it?"

      `What say?' the brave gestures clumsily with his bound hands. He slowly
   rises to a sitting position over the ground.

      I force my mouth closed. My hands lower to the man's legs to hold them
   as if fearing him attempting another escape. My head turns numb. I'm
   locked into having to do a terrible thing that I don't want to do. How
   would my monedo advise me?

      I'm distracted from my dark thoughts by the young brave's manhood
   display. His cock is standing hard against his belly with its tip oozing
   down the brown shaft to his reddish balls. I reach between his legs for
   it. The man shudders at my touch as if I'm attacking him. My fingers
   tighten and moves over the man's thick skin; an up and down motion to
   masturbate him. A grim smile crosses my lips. `This is what I like to do
   as Willow Bird!'

      I wonder if this man has ever felt the sexual touch of another man? In
   boyhood, it's common for friends to do each other out of curiosity and
   from shared boyish thrills. This brave's body has reacted strongly to what
   I've done to him... Is he Mahyee-na? My hand becomes slick over his dick.
   It's a nice size. My butthole gets an overwhelming itch for it.

      Quick are my next actions. I leap into the man's lap with my head and
   arms pushing between the space of his bound hands until they drop around
   me behind my back. Our chests meet. With my left hand, I point his cock
   between the cheeks of my butt to find its entrance. My weight presses down
   on him. I groan out when his oozing knob fits into me and slides in deep.

      The brave's body struggles with mine in a raw naked embrace. I fight to
   keep our reversed male connection. My folded legs press against the sides
   of his butt. I wrap my arms around his shoulders in a tight hug. Our faces
   nearly touch. His dark eyes are filled with disbelief while mine twinkle
   in mischief. I savagely bounce my butt over his hairy groin. His cock in
   me feels like the sharp blade I was preparing to strike against him in an
   act of death instead of making life as we now do.

      I'm sure that my hole is squeezing his dick from pain. I didn't plan
   for our male connection so my butt protests from getting pierced and
   deeply filled from a man. Some adjustments are made to fit our bodies. I
   push on the brave's chest with my chest to force him to lean back. That
   gets my butt to sit fully over his hairy groin with a deeper penetration
   from his long dick inside me. All my weight is on him. That forces my
   captive to perform as a man.

      With my knees, I begin a slow rocking motion. That drives his swollen
   manhood through my hole with the proper in and out rhythm. I'm showing
   this brave how to mate with my willing body. I'm raping him again though
   we're in a reversed position. Will he enjoy it?

      The brave struggles in my arms. I'm trying hard to give him pleasure
   but all he can think of is escape. Perhaps he's not Mahyee-na... His long
   dick may not like the feel of a tight male butthole versus a woman's loose
   opening. I'm not giving him a choice though.

      I continue to force the man's rape of me. My asshole becomes used to
   his size and he slips more easily in me from his lubricating precum. From
   my visit with the Moss-bowl warriors, I've become very experienced with
   male pleasuring. This I'm proving to the enemy brave. Even if he only
   lusts for women, my efforts should stil be able to get him to cum.

      My butthole squeezes his hard dick when it pulls from me. His forward
   stabs make me moan. My butt can perform like a squaw's front opening in
   sex. With enough rubbing, I'll be able to fulfill the man's need which in
   turn will satisfy my own. Between our bellies, I feel my dick hardening.
   That's my body's reaction to our shared male excitement.

      I think that the brave's body is feeling pleasure. He has ended his
   struggling though he remains tense. I dare to look into his dark eyes;
   what I see there makes me grin: no more anger and his hatred has flown.
   What he shows instead is wonder in his eyes. I lift myself by my knees
   before dropping down again over his lap. A deep stab! Some pleasure shines
   out from his eyes at that moment.

      Our bodies pound together like stick and drum; his hard cock striking
   my butt. When I notice the action of his own butt over the ground, I time
   my downward flexing to his upward thrusts. Our mating forms a lusty
   rhythm. I also tighten the ringed muscles of my hole to squeeze his cock
   when it withdraws. The brave's eyes close to mere slits and his mouth
   opens with his breaths racing through his lungs. It pleases me to be
   trading pleasures with this young man.

      `He is still your enemy!' shouts a voice inside my head. A dire
   warning. I keep my hands tight around the brave's body; he can't move much
   with his bound hands around my back. Our bodies are evenly matched in size
   though he appears to be a few years older than me. I see strength bulging
   in his arms. Only a short while ago it was tested against my own in a
   fight to the death yet we both still live.

      I study the face of my captive. His is an ugly face with its sharp
   features and pointed nose; I don't recognize the People that he's come
   from. Short hair like a boy's - perhaps that's why I've offered him the
   use of my body. He has a slim youthful body; a nice small ass. The front
   of him is manly with its thick cock. I wonder if he has ever mated before
   let alone with another male?

      The brave's eyes open. He glares at me with lustful hatred as my butt
   gets savagely stabbed by the only weapon he's able to wield against me. I
   give the man a nice smile. He is My captive and I'm enjoying his rape very
   much.

      Our heated bodies continue with their struggle over the dirt. My full
   weight is kept over his lap so he can't escape. A dark power fills the
   brave's eyes. His breaths hold. I realize that he's close to fulfilling
   himself as a man in my ass, and when he moans out, it makes me smile. I
   felt his gush of sperm deep in my butt with a wry sense of pride. His butt
   is also filled with seed though he probably feels only shame for it.
   Breaths race through his nose. The brief pleasure he's shown on his face
   turns back into anger.

      We rest together for only a moment before he struggles with me against
   his bonds. When his cock slips from my hole, it slaps against my hard
   dick. I mash them together between our bellies with a forward grinding
   motion. My thrills build. When the man looks down at our dick rubbing, a
   giggle escapes from my lips. This startles the brave who ends his violent
   thrashing to stare at me in renewed disbelief.

      Strange words are spoken again. When I shrug my shoulders, the man
   gestures for the use of his hands. I allow him to raise his bound hands
   from behind my back and over my head. My hands go to his to secure them
   and never loosen while he tries to communicate to me.

      `Why did this thing?' the brave gestures.

      I'm unable to reply since my hands are needed to restrain his. And
   besides... I don't have an answer for him. Out of the corner of my eye I
   see my glinting blade. I feel the warmth of the man's life under me and
   in me. At that moment, I decide to let him live.

      The young brave gives me a plain face; his anger has flown. It's as if
   he has read my thoughts and knows that I've spared him. A great burden has
   been lifted from my heart. I have remained true to myself as Willow Bird.

      I keep a hold of the bound hands of my enemy. They feel warm in my
   hands. Oh, what am I going to do with him?! Our eyes meet with strange
   emotions flowing between us. He must know of my dilemma. We've turned our
   hatred into love from the joining of our flesh but our spirits are still
   far apart. Big Horn's voice in my head continues to warn me about this
   young enemy brave.

      Pai-alucia snorts with harsh protest. When I turn to see what's the
   matter, a cry of fear comes from the young brave. He struggles violently
   against me. A black bear ambles towards us with a growl. I grab my knife
   and push on the man's body to separate us. My horse pulls out his reins
   from the bush and gallops away.

      I stand for but a moment facing the bear's onrush to defend us before
   realizing that I'm no match for my angry brother. Like my smart horse, I
   turn heel in flight for my life!  A terrible mashing is heard at my back;
   the brave's cries are drowned out by the bear's low growls. The man's
   voice is soon silenced. I keep running from the horror of it all!
   Aeiiiiiii!

      Big Horn has caught us! His savage claws strike at my boy lover with
   an anger unto death for him. His small life is quickly eaten. Oh Song Bird.
   You are gone from me! The black bear has you and I am left all alone.

      I awaken from my nightmare with a start. No. Song Bird lives. I return
   to myself in the darkness surrounding me. My body feels chilled. A quick
   check of myself reveals no injuries but my breechclout is gone. I have
   kept my knife. It's tightly gripped in my right hand and for that I am
   grateful. Where is Pai-alucia?

      The events from the afternoon return to me in a flash of horrible
   realization. I can't remember anything beyond running. With death behind
   me, I must have ran in a blind panic. Pai-alucia escaped but I don't know
   where he has gone or where I've ended up. The night is moonless. I'm all
   alone in the dark.

      A sob escapes me. `Oh that young brave!' I realize with sadness. He has
   met a terrible ending at the hands of Big Horn. I shake my head with
   surprise. No. It was only a black bear... wasn't it? Yet from inner
   sight, I feel my lover's hand in this afternoon's events. Was it from
   anger or to do that which I could not that had Big Horn assuming the shape
   of my animal helper to slay that enemy brave?

      I raise my arms upward to the sky and beseech unto Him, our Great
   Father to put an end to the powerful forces sweeping my life! I feel like
   a small leaf caught up in a storm with no control over where I will
   eventually come to rest. "I wish for a simple life!" I shout to night's
   sky. `No more whispering spirits in my head and mystifying visions to
   confound me,' I beg in silent prayer. I'm not worthy to walk in the
   footsteps of our shaman.

      For a long time I keep my arms raised. I sought an answer from Him.
   None came. In my anger, I shout out curses to our Father and to all the
   spirits. I dare Them to strike me dead with a mighty thunderbolt for my
   boldness! "I wish to be dead! Do you not hear me?!"

      I lower my aching limbs in defeat while the great woe in my heart pours
   out of me as tears. I've returned to being a boy again: weak, and
   unguided. Something twists inside my head; a kind of strange pain that
   makes all my other pains go away.

      I wipe away my tears and sleep over our Mother without a care in the
   world.


      Morning comes. My belly rumbles with hunger so I rise up from the
   ground in search of food. That's when I notice the silvery blade in my
   right hand. Ah, that's my friend's knife. I stare down at my hand in
   disbelief for not being able to utter his name. A man. I can almost see
   his face but his name escapes me. A greater concern fills me. What is my
   name?!

      The blade falls to the ground with a thud. I look down at my nakedness
   with growing concern. I don't know who I am or where I am and why I'm not
   wearing a breechclout? There's a feeling in me that I'm traveling with
   someone; a missing companion. Is he the owner of the knife lying at my
   feet?

      When I go to pick it up, an aching comes from my butt. Not the need to
   empty my bowels but a hurt. My fingers carefully explore between my
   cheeks. I find dried blood and my eyes widen with surprise. A flash of
   memory strikes my head like a lightning bolt. I'm bouncing over a man's
   lap. We're both naked! That startling image vanishes and all I'm left with
   is a feeling of fullness deep in my hole.

      I stare at the knife's long wooden handle in my hand noticing that my
   dick has stiffened. I'm amazed by its size. There's much hair on my groin
   which is a sign of maturity that I didn't expect. I remember only being
   ten years old.

      My hand drops to my dick for a feel. It's big! I pull back my foreskin
   to free its knob; there's an oozing coming from it. Not watery like piss
   but a stickiness like that of running tree sap. A sharp thrill goes
   through it at my touch. I take a quick look around to be sure that I'm
   alone. My pulls begin over my erection as I stand in a body that's not
   mine. The thrills build up. My fingers occasionally tickle over my large
   balls while my thumb presses into my groin hair. To enhance my pleasure, I
   imagine something:

      I'm sitting naked over that man's lap, bouncing over it. His hand is
   wrapped tightly around mine to guide my pulling over my hard pole. He
   smiles at my lusty efforts. I want to show him something at the end. He
   expects it.

      My eyes are tightly shut when the pleasure in my dick becomes intense.
   My hand reaches back to feel over my butt humping in and out while in the
   front of me, my stabs go through my tight fingers. The man reveals the
   same pleasure on his dark face that I'm feeling. He stabs his dick through
   my butt. I cry out when something squirts out of me. My eyes open to see
   white pissings coming from my surging pole. They fall at my feet. My
   butthole is pained. I gasp in surprise when thinking that that man had
   stuck his dick into my bottom!

      I breathe strongly through my mouth. A fear grips me for a moment that
   I've hurt myself. No. There's no pain. My eyes widen with the realization
   that my body has grown like a man's; I'm able to squirt out seed! It fills
   me with pride. I dance over the ground from the wonder of it all. My foot
   strikes at the handle of the blade stuck in the dirt behind me so I pick
   it up and continue my game.

      When I'm done playing, I remember my hunger. My body feels weary from
   having pissed out that white stuff but I feel a sense of relief from it. I
   release a weary sigh and go off in search of that which I do not know.

      My walk becomes a long one. Father Sun has risen to the top of His sky
   while the rolling plains around me never seem to end! My mouth becomes
   thirsted. I am lost without knowing which way I should travel. Where is my
   father? Why have I been taken from camp to be left out here all alone?

      In the distance, I spy horsemen. I shout out to them while raising my
   hands for attention. They ride towards me. In the pit of my stomach, I
   sense the wrongness of my actions yet in my hand is the wondrous silvery
   blade. It will protect me.

      Three men on horses come to face me. Two of them are warriors with the
   feathers of the eagle in their short hair. They are not of my People. The
   third rider is a young brave with long hair. I gasp when recognizing his
   face yet I cannot speak his name or to think of anything more about him.
   Who is he?

      Strange words are spoken to me. The three-feathered warrior reverts to
   hand gesturing which I can understand. He asks me who I am and what I'm
   doing here.

      `I am lost,' is my gestured reply. The single feathered warrior laughs.
   He whispers something to his older companion and points at my knife hand.
   The young brave stares at me in wonder.

      The older warrior addresses the brave with many words spoken between
   them. Then they move their horses to surround me. I raise my blade hand in
   preparation of their attack. When I'm about to try running past their
   encirclement, a soft voice calls out to me with words I can understand.

      "Don't run," warns the young brave. "If you try, these warriors will
   kill you."

      I gulp nervously in my throat. His words sound true. I am no match for
   three riders on horseback. I turn to face the brave and ask, "Who are you?"

      "They call me `Ghan-an-tonka' which means `Buffalo Ear' in their tongue
   but the name given me by my father is Second Bird."

      "You weren't born of their tribe?" I ask while gesturing to the two
   warriors.

      "No. I was of the Split Muddy River Tribe before they captured me a few
   summers ago. Now I'm a newly named brave of their People."

      I get chills down my spine from the familiarity I feel for this brave.
   It comes from his soft voice, the features of his face and his kind manner
   towards me. From the other two men I sense danger. I step closer to Second
   Bird.

      Our eyes meet. The brave tries to keep his face plain of emotion but I
   can sense his recognition for me in them. He slowly drops down from his
   horse to greet me.  We stand at about the same height and have the same
   length of hair and share facial features. He must be of my People!

      "You haven't given me your name or which tribe you're from," the brave
   asks.

      I lower my head in fear and shame. "You must believe me when I tell you
   that I cannot remember. I don't know my name or where I've come from."
   Tears sting my eyes and they fall to my cheeks in a boy's display of
   weakness.

      Second Bird frowns. He speaks with the older warrior in their language,
   likely telling him what I've said. They'll probably kill me for not
   telling them what they want to know. I'm not trying to protect the
   location of my People or myself! I just don't know.

      Father Sun beats down on my back. Sweat drips down my body and makes
   tickles over my butt. When I scratch them away, the single feathered
   warrior smiles at me. He has an interest in my body that excites me in a
   strange way. Hasn't he seen a naked boy before?

      After a lengthy discussion, the young brave addresses me again.

      "The two warriors say that you are strange. It has put them off from
   killing you so my advice is to remain calm like a stone spirit. I've made
   up a name for you and have given it to them. Guard against what you may
   reveal through hand gesturing. Only talk with me if you want to live!"

      Hope rises in my heart. "You're trying to help me?"

      Second Bird nods. "They're interested in your Wa-ha blade. It's of no
   use to you while you're facing the three of us so why not make a gift of
   it to our leader?"

      I look down at my shiny knife and decide upon it. The brave's words are
   true but I'd be losing the only thing that I have left. I'm alone and
   naked without hope unless I listen to Second Bird. He gives me a direction
   to walk in.

      I approach the three-feathered warrior on his horse. His hair has been
   cut back to the length of a boy's but his weathered face reveals his true
   age. In a show of strength, I raise my knife to the sky as if stabbing
   Father Sun. This alarms the two warriors. With deliberate effort, I lower
   my hand in an arc to present the warrior with my nameless friend's knife.
   His outstretching hand takes the gift from me.

      `That blade is death,' I gesture to the warrior when he examines his
   new prize. I don't know what had come into me to say such a thing; a boy's
   lie or from some inner sight that I didn't know I possessed.

      `Your death, likely.' the warrior gestures in reply while he laughs.
   He proudly displays his Wa-ha knife to the envy of the other warrior
   before slipping it within his thong belt.

      "That was wise of you," whispers Second Bird as he mounts his horse.
   "Keeping that warrior happy will make you live longer. I don't know if
   you've really lost your memory but continue to act like a cute young boy."

      Second Bird thinks I'm cute? It's an unusual thing to say but I take
   his words to heart. I find the brave a handsome man but you won't hear me
   telling him that! He offers me his hand and I'm lifted up to ride behind
   him. We ride bareback without even having a blanket between our sweaty
   bodies and the horse. I notice that the brave lacks a rear flap. I'm not
   even wearing a breechclout so his butt presses onto my hairy groin when he
   kicks his horse into a gallop.

      We ride through the low hills to some unknown destination in the
   left-handed direction of Father Sun's falling face. I enjoy holding onto
   Second Bird and get an erection from our touching bodies. He must surely
   feel my body's excitement. Some food is passed back to me when the two
   warriors aren't looking. When I try to question the brave, he shoos me to
   keep quiet. Everything that's happened to me is a mystery. I think that
   I'm a prisoner yet my hands aren't tied. If I wanted to escape, I wouldn't
   get very far before being chased down. No. There is much danger here for
   me. Second Bird is trying to protect me from these two warriors.

      Our horses are eventually slowed to a walk to rest them. The brave
   reaches back to my long dick and slips it into his bottom. I embrace him
   more closely so that the two warriors won't notice. I'm not sure what he
   intends but the rubbing of our nakedness is very thrilling for me. I sneak
   my hand under his front flap and discover that he's also excited in a
   man's way.

      Second Bird squirms against my thighs. It gets my hard dick to find
   entry into his butt and stick all the way inside! My eyes widen. The
   rolling motion of our horse forces my stabs. I'm surprised that the young
   brave doesn't try to push me away.

      He wants me to be in him? I press my face into the brave's sweaty back
   to hide myself. He's making me perform something in his butt that's
   strange but it feels wonderful to my dick. I'm reminded of my daydream
   where I'm sitting in a man's lap with his dick in my bottom. With this
   young brave, the positions are reversed. I cling to his body and make many
   pleasurable thrusts between his sweaty cheeks. It's like my body is
   familiar with the act though my head cannot remember it.

      I become embarrassed. Though the thrills are building in my loins, my
   head denies the reality of my act with this man. I try hiding myself from
   what we do. A song comes to me which I try singing. The brave nudges me
   to keep quiet so I try holding my breaths. That only deepens the thrills
   in my erection. I'm really stuck inside his butt?

      My butt slips over the sweaty back of our horse. It's a very sensual
   feeling of warm naked bodies. My groin hair brushes against the brave's
   soft cheeks while my dick keeps sticking through his tight hole. It
   reminds me of how a girl at the river had put my long dick into her front
   opening in a kind of game. She had laid on top of me and did all the work.
   My erection was forced through her cunt which must have caused some pain
   because of her many outcries. When I cried out, she had gotten off me to
   look at my dick. Her fingers had rubbed over my dry pole with much relief.

      Now a man forces me to play this same game again. I get a thrill from
   it when my dick slides in and out. His butthole feels tighter than the
   girl's opening. I look down at the action of his butt pressing against my
   hairy groin. My erection is deep inside it. Moving... moving with each
   stride of our horse. I grip the brave's hips so that I can move faster.
   That gets my dick to surge with pleasure!

      I feel a warning tingle in my balls and my dick explodes deep in his
   butt! My sight fades as several powerful squirts come out. Much pleasure
   for me. I don't know if I've cried out.

      The single-feathered warrior slows his horse to ride up beside us. He
   looks at me but I avoid his seeking eyes. Some words are spoken between
   him and the brave. The warrior then reaches his hand between my belly and
   the brave's back to try separating us. His eyes fall lower. A chuckle
   erupts from him when he sees Second Bird's butt pressed onto my hairy
   groin. Does he realize what we've done?

      I endure the warrior's wicked-looking eyes and the obscene gesturing of
   his hands. He slaps over my butt and claims that he's often giving Second
   Bird much seed. The brave doesn't seem to be embarrassed. He continues to
   press his butt into my groin so that my swollen dick will remain in him.

      The warrior rides forward to talk with the older man. They aren't
   looking back at us so I'm hoping that nothing has been said. Second Bird
   grasps my hand and leads it into the front of his breechclout. I touch his
   hard dick; he wants me to pull over its foreskin? The brave slowly humps
   over my groin while closing my fingers around his hard moist shaft. He
   shows me how to masturbate him in time to my forced stabs through his
   butthole. I can't believe the boldness of this young brave! Our naked act
   has already been discovered by the younger warrior. Does he want the
   three-feathered warrior to catch me pulling over his hard dick as well?

      I can't bring myself to asking Second Bird why we're doing these things
   with each other. They're pleasurable acts but not to be done out in the
   open while traveling on horseback! The brave keeps his hand around mine
   while I handle his hard dick. I feel mine getting harder inside him when
   his humping over my groin brings me thrills again. My legs move forward
   over the horse to meet the brave's backward flexing of his butt onto me.
   It's an easy rhythm to keep with our joined bodies. A familiar motion.

      I'm given a flash of memory: There's a young boy in my arms while we're
   riding our horse through the woods. Fog is all around us. Cold. Yet we've
   removed our breechclouts so that we can share naked warmth with each
   other. My heart is filled with love for my dear friend of my similar name.

      I grit my teeth in frustration when the boy's name escapes me. It was
   something-BIRD. The young brave in my arms is called Second Bird which
   sounds similar to the young boy's name and my own. Willow Bird! I can
   remember my name! When I try to remember more things, my head feels like
   it's struggling through dark fog. Yet I'm given a sense of my true age and
   there are adult things that I am remembering which can help me to survive
   this dangerous situation.

      Second Bird pinches my fingers because I've stopped pulling over his
   dick. A smile comes to my face when realizing from my adult sense what
   we're doing with each other. I resume to masturbate my needing companion.
   My dick in his butt makes deeper stabs so that he can enjoy them and come
   out from his loins. He must be Mahyee-na like myself. My eyes widen. I
   roll the strange-sounding word over my tongue but it brings no meaning to
   me. What is being Mahyee-na?

      The young brave is really straining his body over my thighs. I grip his
   hip with my right hand and slam my hairy groin against the soft cheeks of
   his ass. My long dick makes a deep journey through his tight hole and
   back. He moans out. His hands ask for a quicker handling over his slippery
   foreskin. I know that he's soon to explode... me too!

      I look around Second Bird to see what the two warriors are doing. They
   have stopped their horses to look back on our frantic mating. We slowly
   ride between the two men and pass them by. The brave is concentrated on
   achieving our violent male release so he has no care about being watched
   or in directing his horse. I ignore the men's shining eyes and fuck the
   brave's ass for a second time. My lips go down to his sweaty neck for a
   love bite. When he grunts out in pain, I feel his squirts to my fingers.
   Ah, his butthole squeezes my dick! I cum in him.

      We both cry out from achieving male pleasure and victory. The thrills
   are brief but wonderful to experience together. We've satisfied our lusty
   bodies as lovers do. Now, we hold onto each other and try to catch our
   breath. I lift my face from the brave's neck to whisper my name in his ear.
   "I am called Willow Bird."

      Second Bird jerks his head around to face me with wide eyes. He's about
   to ask me something when I feel myself being pulled down from our horse. I
   land on the ground with a thud. The single feathered warrior jumps up on
   the horse to where I was sitting behind the brave and he pushes on the
   man's back to get his butt to open for a joining of their male bodies. At
   my feet is the warrior's discarded breechclout. I think about grabbing it
   and taking off with his horse.

      The three-feathered warrior rides up behind me. In his hands are the
   reins to the younger warrior's horse. My plan of escape is blocked. I
   slowly stand up to watch what unfolds with Second Bird and his needing
   companion. They fuck over the horse's back like it's for the last time.
   The warrior does it brutally - his hands push on the brave's back which
   forces his body to bend forward over his horse. That opens the man's ass
   to get it savagely fucked. I see no love in it.

      My eyes are drawn to the warrior's flexing ass beneath his rear flap. I
   enjoy watching the man's sexual motion there. My butt feels an itch for
   getting it filled with this man's cock. Have I allowed myself to get
   raped before?

      Second Bird surrenders utterly to the warrior's urgent need. His hands
   encircle the horse's neck while his legs are spread over the long back.
   The warrior plunges into his ass like a mad man. His cock makes a sucking
   sound that brings a smile to my lips. My cum is already inside that
   wanting ass and it's aiding the warrior's lusty thrusts through it. His
   seed will soon mingle with mine. The thought of it pleases me.

      Their mating ends when the single feathered warrior grunts out. When
   he's done shooting, he rests only a moment before pushing on the brave's
   body and dropping to the ground before me.

      `You try to hide your bold joining,' the warrior gestures. `My eyes
   keen like the eagle and my loins much lust-filled!'

      I force a smile onto my lips. He points at the brave's butt stain over
   my dick and I see that same brown warpaint over his cock. In a playful
   gesture, the man steps close to me with our dicks touching. His knob still
   oozes cum. My butt is pinched by him. This makes the three-feathered
   warrior laugh.

      Second Bird glances at me with something burning in his dark eyes. I
   look into the warrior's eyes and see that same burning. They are like me.
   I shudder from my half-remembered notions of man sex. Who was it that had
   taught me how to use my body in this way?

      When the young warrior is satisfied with our touching cock ritual, he
   reaches down for his breechclout and dons it. I feel a stickiness in my
   left hand. My opening fingers are wet with Second Bird's male release from
   masturbating him. I wipe it over my rear end with pride. At least my
   joining to his body was loving and had resulted in a sweet release from
   his loins for his own pleasure.

      The warrior gets onto his horse. Second Bird reaches his hand down
   with eyes that won't look at me. Is he embarrassed? I grip his hand with
   my sticky one and am brought up behind him. The two warriors kick their
   horses to a quick trot as we follow. My dick presses against his slimy ass
   when I reach my arms around his body to hold on.

      Father Sun nears the time when He's to lay down His weary head to sleep
   when the three-feathered warrior chooses a small stand of trees to camp in
   for the night. Second Bird hasn't spoken a word to me. I drop down from
   his horse and find a place to relieve myself. The single feathered warrior
   comes to stand behind me with a gleam in his eyes. He lusts for my butt.
   It makes me very nervous. My adult sense is warning me of danger from this
   one since he is used to taking what he wants as I've seen when he had his
   way with Second Bird.

      I return to the brave's horse to fetch a waterskin to drink from. My
   every movement is watched by the older warrior. He is dangerous too. I
   wonder what he is to that single feathered warrior. Are they brothers,
   lovers or simply warpath companions? It's clear that I'm their prisoner
   and they're deciding just what to do with me. My brother was also captured
   by them and allowed to live so that they can make use of his willing body
   for their male needs.

      My brother? A chill goes down my spine from knowing that Second Bird
   could be my brother. I can't explain how I feel this except to say that it
   comes from a kind of inner sight. My memory hasn't returned. Yet I can still
   feel things and discover the truth. It's all I have to carry me through the
   dire situation that I'm in since I'm left weaponless and naked.

      The three men set up their ground mats around an old fire pit ringed
   with stones. Second Bird goes to look for wood while I'm left alone with
   the two warriors. It's a nervous moment. The men look over my body often
   and low words are spoken between them. I feel much ill will from them.
   What are they planning to do with me?

      Second Bird returns with his arms loaded. He drops the large sticks
   that he's found next to the fire pit and begins to make a fire. I kneel at
   his side to watch. When the two warriors aren't looking, he whispers some
   words of advice to me.

      "These men will take your body for their pleasure," the brave warns.
   "If you resist them, you'll feel their blade against your neck. Do as I
   have. Give into their needs and when the time is right, we'll try to
   escape!"

      I signal to the brave with my eyes that I've understood. The less
   that's spoken between us, the better. In his eyes I see a measure of
   shame. It makes my heart ache for him. Has it been a difficult two years
   for him being in the company of two lusty warriors?

      When the woods catches on, Second Bird goes to tend the horses. I reach
   out to the fire's growing warmth. My body feels the chill from the coming
   of night. Its darkness could bring me the opportunity for escape. I must
   remain patient though and wait for Second Bird to judge the right moment
   for us to try.

      The three-feathered warrior comes to stand at my side. In his hand is a
   coil of twine which brings me ill boding. He gestures to me that my hands
   and legs are to hobbled like a horse to prevent my `wandering' away. I
   turn to the man and allow him to do it. My limbs are tied with expert care
   so that I can still walk but only very slowly. When I gesture to the
   warrior for something to cover my nakedness, he only replies with a
   chuckle. A chill runs down my spine.

      I'm given no ground mat to sleep over so I drop down into a sitting
   position before the fire pit. I don't think that sleep will easily come to
   me this night. When Second Bird returns from his task with the horses, he
   notices my tied hands and feet. Nothing is spoken between us. He goes to
   his sleeping mat and lies down with his face towards me. The single
   feathered warrior seems restless. He walks the perimeter of our camp as if
   looking for something. What worries me more is the older warrior. His dark
   eyes are watching me with the fire shining in them like a coyote. In a
   flash of memory, I see similar eyes of evil that approach me in the dark
   with intent to harm me. It's the Trickster who comes for me!

      I manage to keep my cry of fright in my throat. The three-feathered
   warrior is flesh and blood and he can be overcome with careful planning
   and luck. It seems that I've encountered the Trickster somewhere in my
   past and since I still live, he must have been vanquished. If only I could
   remember!

      Patience is needed, I assure myself since if I'm given enough time, my
   memories will return to me. With them, I'll be better prepared against
   mine enemies and I'll know who Second Bird is to me. Is he my brother? If
   he knows, why does he not tell me?  My head becomes filled with
   mismatching pieces of what could be and what I wish were. I try to calm
   myself. What would my monedo be telling me to do?

      Ah, another strange-sounding word: monedo. It doesn't sound like
   someone's name yet it does seem to refer to someone. A man who advises me.
   Where is he now? I could use a warrior's experience to aid me while in the
   camp of my enemies tied hand and foot! I go through all my memories that
   have returned.

      What is the name of that young boy? Something-BIRD. Is he my little
   brother? My flash of memory had shown me that I was in love with him
   beyond that of a sibling. We were naked together on a horse. I wonder
   where he is now? Does Second Bird know his name and what that boy is to
   me? Ah! If only I could have some time to talk privately with that young
   brave. I feel that he holds the key to who I am and to all my agonizing
   questions!

      I turn my head to glance at Second Bird. I can't tell if his eyes are
   open in the growing dark. The fire has ruined my eyes. An idea comes to
   me. Why not sleep with the brave and share warmth? When the other warriors
   are sleeping, we can talk. When I slowly rise from the ground and try
   balancing myself within the restrictions of my bonds, the three-feathered
   warrior waves his arm at me. He gestures for me to join him over his
   sleeping mat. A pang of disappointment fills me and is replaced with some
   fear. I doubt that this old warrior only wants to share warmth with me as
   I was hoping with Second Bird.

      I slowly hobble to the warrior's sleeping mat. The single feathered
   warrior's mat is empty; he must be out guarding our camp while the others
   sleep. Smart. I reach the old warrior and he helps me to drop down to the
   dirt at his side. I'm not surprised when he lays close behind me, his arm
   reaching around my chest to hold me. There will be no escape for me this
   night.

      The old warrior settles himself over his mat then becomes still. I'm
   surprised that he doesn't try to take my body for his pleasure. Perhaps
   he's not Mahyee-na. There's that word again! I get the sense of its
   meaning: the sexual interest a man has for those of his sex. That would
   mean Second Bird and the single feathered warrior are Mahyee-na since
   they've had sex with each other. I too am Mahyee-na. The idea that I'm
   attracted to other males doesn't seem strange to me. It's as if I've lived
   my whole life with the love of a younger brother or a man for my lover. I
   think about all the exciting possibilities until sleep claims me.

      I awaken in the early morning to the gentle loving my man is bringing
   me. He's holding me from behind in his strong arms while he fucks my butt.
   His cock makes a tight fit in my hole. That gives him a sense of great
   pride for his manliness. I enjoy feeling his curved dick sticking far into
   my ass and pulling back. My ringed muscles tighten to give him a thrilling
   ride. In my heart, I feel at ease with myself for giving my dear lover his
   use of my body. Not rape. This warrior is my lover and I am very much in
   love with him! 'Oh, Big Horn.'

      I cry out in the dark when remembering my loss. My dreaming ends to be
   replaced by cold reality. I'm in the tight arms of a lusty warrior who
   fucks my ass but it's not my warrior lover! I shake my head to force
   myself more awake. In the dim glow of the fire, I see a dark shape sitting
   close and watching us. There's a single feather sprouting from his short
   hair. Behind me, I hear the low moans of the older warrior who's enjoying
   my butt. I endure his fuck. Second Bird's words of advice are in my head
   and they offer me a way to keep myself alive.

      It's quickly done. The three-feathered warrior digs his nails into my
   arm and chest and growls out like a hungry bear when he seeds me. I can
   feel his gush of sperm filling my hole from only lust; no love between us.
   When he's done, the other warrior is given his place behind me so that he
   too can give up his seed. I recall his brutal use of Second Bird's ass
   when he pushed him down over his horse to fuck him. There's much energy in
   this man by the way he takes me. My hole can feel that his cock isn't as
   thick as the older warrior's but his reach into my body is greater. The
   man pounds away in my butt like a mad man. I endure it as I must.

      Against my belly is my hard dick. It has grown long from my sweet
   dreaming of Big Horn making love to me. But alas, he is gone. Now, my
   manly display is a mockery to what I hold dear about myself and of love.
   The lusty warrior in my butt has no love for me but only to prove himself
   a man and for his male relief. I lay as if dead while he fucks me. I'm
   their willing captive but they'll not be given any extra pleasure from me.
   I try to ignore the man by making my thoughts go deep.

      More memories are returning. I see snatches of places that I've been
   and the smiling faces of my friends and lovers. My tribe is settled on a
   wide muddy river and that brings to mind what Second Bird has told me
   about his tribe: the Split Muddy River Tribe. My tribe too? Yet I've not
   been returned any memories about that young brave. He has a familiar face
   but I don't know anything more about him. It's as if we don't share a past
   together. He may not be my brother?

      Song Bird is my real brother! I've remembered that boy's full name and
   what he means to me. My heart pines for him though I sense that he's far,
   far away as if never coming back. He's not dead. Not like my warrior lover,
   Big Horn.

      Tears fill my eyes and I allow them to drop. There's no shame to mourn
   for lost lovers. Sobs erupt from my mouth. The man using my butt cannot
   hurt me and I don't care if he's a witness to my weakness or not. Only my
   flesh may be forced to his will, not my spirit.

      I wince in pain when the warrior bites my shoulder. My blood runs and
   his sperm flows in me when his unloving act comes to a completion. I
   shudder from fright when hearing the man's loud victory cry. He beats on
   my arm with manly pride before separating our bodies and standing up. My
   hole feels very full from the men's lusty use of it. To spite them, I push
   out what they've forced in me to the warrior's sleeping mat.

      Some wood is dropped over the glowing embers in the fire pit. The two
   warriors huddle around it and talk. They're probably comparing accounts of
   how it felt to rape me. I turn my head to look for where Second Bird lies
   over his sleeping mat. His head is raised, proving that he has witnessed
   the goings on. I try to get myself up so that I can join him. I'm startled
   by a slapping sound. It's the two warriors standing near the growing fire.
   They're embraced and slapping each other hard on the back. It's a strange
   naked rite that they perform.

      It's painfully slow going for me to reach Second Bird. The twine is
   biting at my tied hands and legs and my butthole aches me. I manage to
   reach the brave's sleeping mat without falling. He helps me down to it and
   faces me close in a hug to share warmth. The two naked warriors are still
   embraced in a lusty belly rub. I'm surprised that they still feel the need
   to spill their loins to each other.

      "We don't have much time to talk," whispers Second Bird. "I will try to
   keep you alive."

      I turn my ear to his mouth so that our conversation can be at a
   whisper. When giving my reply, he turns his ear towards me. There's so
   much I want to ask him! Which questions are the most important to ask
   first?

      "You must always be passive and not get them angry with you," advises
   the brave. "Keep acting strange with your act of being a boy who is lost.
   If they suspect that you're planning something against them or to escape,
   they will kill you. There will come a time soon when we can get away."

      My most urgent question comes to mind so I ask it. "Are you my brother?"

      Second Bird pauses from answering. A grunting sound has turned his head
   to the two warriors. I turn my head to look as well. The warriors are
   standing close to the fire with hands over each other's butt making a
   stabbing contest with their swollen cocks between their bellies. It's a
   male rite that the brave has seen often before.

      "If you won't answer me," I rasp, "at least tell me if I'm from your
   tribe..."

      "No. I think that you're from the Kalinlepi People who are encamped on
   the Muddy River. My tribe was split off from them in the time of our
   grandfathers."

      "Why do you want to escape now?" I probe. "You've had two years with
   these warriors to make the attempt if you had really wanted to leave them!"

      "I didn't have the chance," explains Second Bird. "There are two of
   them and never was I given a good enough reason to escape... until now.
   They trust me more after my initiation as a brave of their People. With
   you at my side, we can match them on equal terms if it comes to a fight
   though I hope to avoid one. I've secreted a weapon. It's only a piece of
   sharp flint but useful for cutting your bonds when the time comes."

      "Where are these warriors headed to?" I ask.

      "They'll be returning to their tribe once we meet up with brave
   Treskawa who was checking out a lush gully. The three men have been tasked
   to scout out the plains for the movements of buffalo and the elk as well
   as enemies. One warrior was discovered by the Endless Cliffs and killed.
   He had a horse but it escaped."

      "What are the names of the two warriors and who are they to each other?"

      "The older warrior is called Crumobia. His lover, the single feathered
   warrior is Heskiawanno who is quick to anger. What out for him! Brave
   Treskawa is Crumobia's younger brother who had come along on the warpath
   to prove himself. He should have arrived here last night so I suspect that
   we'll be waiting in this place until Crumobia decides when we should go
   search for him. That young brave is a good man. Not like us but he's
   honest and has a good heart."

      Before I can ask my next question, I hear the two men bellow out like
   fighting bulls. It's followed by a brief silence. Then they slap over each
   other's backs in an endurance rite of pain. I feel the rush of Second
   Bird's hands pushing my back to the ground. He lays over me to make a
   lusty belly-rubbing contest of our own. I see what he's doing - a show of
   sex before the warriors to keep them from suspecting that we make plans
   against them. I try to grow my dick long. It's an easy task with the naked
   warmth of the brave coaxing my manly excitement. Already, I feel his
   erection forming above mine.

      The two men come to watch us. We put on a good show with Second Bird
   holding down my bound arms to the ground over my head while he grinds his
   hard body over mine as if forcing sex with me. Crumobia says something. In
   reply, the brave ends our belly rubbing by getting off me. He faces the
   warrior with open arms and a grin on his face. They embrace. I watch their
   fierce belly rubbing while my dick aches for attention. Heskiawanno kneels
   at my groin. He traces his finger down the shaft of my erection in a tease.

      I hump my butt against the ground in response. The young warrior squats
   over my groin and sits down on me with our balls touching and cocks
   rubbing. The brown tip of his oozes to the shaft of my hard dick. I'm
   surprised that he's so lust-filled after his release in my butt and to his
   lover's belly.

      I gasp when the man slaps over my chest with the flat of both his hands.
   He plays my body like a painful drum. His intent wasn't to pleasure my dick
   but to further humiliate me. I feel a warm flow running over my belly. The
   warrior is urinating on me? It has me struggling at my bonds to get away.

      Heskiawanno laughs. His weight pins me to the ground until he's done
   pissing. I suppose that this is his revenge for emptying my bowels to his
   lover's sleeping mat.

      The young warrior turns to watch the two embracing men. In the arms of
   the older warrior, Second Bird almost looks like a boy when comparing
   their height, body development and overall muscle strength. He's a better
   match to my body for love making; our hearts are already closer than with
   any of those two warriors!

      Heskiawanno stands up and comes to embrace Second Bird from behind. I
   think he may try to fuck the brave's ass while the old warrior pleasures
   the front of him but it doesn't come about; only a simple rear embrace. My
   dick throbs when being left out of such a display of male lust venting.

      The two warriors reach around Second Bird with their hands locked
   behind each other's butts. They are squeezing the young brave between
   them. In a kind of contest, Second Bird tries to rub his needing dick
   against the older warrior. He's prevented from any movement. In an attempt
   to escape, the brave reaches his long slim arms up to Crumobia's shoulders
   and grasps them, lifing his weight onto the man. His legs also wrap around
   the man's butt. It's a clever ploy. Not to escape their bear hug but to
   force a belly rubbing between himself and the old warrior. His legs surge
   around the man's ass to mash their cocks together.

      Heskiawanno laughs. His tight hands loosen from around his lover's ass
   in defeat so that Second Bird can fully grip the old warrior's cheeks with
   his legs and surge with love's rhythm. Crumobia also loosens his grip of
   Heskiawanno's butt and holds the brave's. Between their bellies, a fierce
   battle is joined between their angry manhoods.

      I'm in awe of their naked rite. It's not a sex game but a serious test
   and performance of their struggling bodies. It's as if the young brave is
   trying to prove himself. There's much tension showing on Second Bird's
   face. I cannot see Crumobia's expression but the young warrior is smiling.

      Second Bird cries out as I imagine him shooting to Crumobia's belly.
   Nothing from the old man; he was only embracing the young brave's need
   having already satisfied his loins in my butt and in his lover's arms.
   After some back pounding, the brave turns to face Heskiawanno. He makes
   the motions of belly rubbing with the young warrior but I don't see any
   need in him to shoot again. He feigns an outcry that gets both warriors to
   laugh. More back pounding follows. I sense that including Second Bird in
   their belly rubbing rite was significant.

      They talk while keeping their wet trio embrace. My nude body shivers in
   the cold of early morning. I try getting up so that I can stand by the
   fire. It takes me a few stumbles but I manage to hobble there. My bound
   hands reach out to the flames. An idea comes into my head to try burning
   the twine off but I'd probably only manage scorching my limbs and now
   isn't the time to try escape.

      The men break up their big hug and fetch their breechclouts from the
   ground. Second Bird playfully slaps over both of the warriors' butts. When
   his body is covered, he comes to the fire to speak with me. His attitude
   is changed; more hostile towards me. Is it an act or has something really
   changed between us?

      "I've been initiated into their society of the Mah-na-yee," boasts
   Second Bird. "It's an honor for me since I'm now considered an equal to
   them sexually. No longer may Heskiawanno rape my butt or demand that I
   suck on his dick to please him. He must ask first to see if I'm willing.
   You have assumed my lowly position of bito-wan-ahee which means boy/sex
   captive. We may force our manly needs upon you whenever we want while
   ignoring your needs."

      I swallow nervously in my throat. Has Second Bird turned against me? I
   glance at the two warriors watching my reaction and realize that it's only
   for show. My head droops in a display of great disappointment and
   hopelessness. The brave turns away from me in a huff to check on the
   horses.

      I kneel before the fire while enduring the warriors' eyes on me. What
   are they thinking? My butt should have satisfied them, so too Second Bird's
   performance of acting hostile towards me. I'm a boy alone amongst lusting
   enemy men who hate me as Willow Bird, a person. Only my bare flesh
   interests them.

      The warriors leave me after a lengthy inspection. I don't think they
   are easily fooled. Second Bird and I must keep up our act to give them
   proof through deeds; not simple words and mock facial expressions of
   loathing for each other. I'm depending on that brave to guard my very
   life! I hope that trust won't be betrayed.

      Second Bird returns with a small pouch of dried meat that is passed
   around. The warriors eat first. After the brave eats, he tosses a morsel
   at my feet for my meager breakfast. I chew down the stick of jerky while
   ignoring the men's grins. Afterwards, chores around camp are performed;
   I'm ignored. Crumobia is always looking out from the trees for something...
   Ah - for someone. He's hoping that his brother Treskawa will soon arrive.

      Father Sun rises in His sky towards noon before the three-feathered
   warrior feels the need to break camp to go look for his brother. The fire
   is extinguished. The old warrior sets up a peculiar arrangement of stones
   over the ground to serve as some kind of message to the brave should he
   arrive here after we've gone. I know that from Big Horn's teachings. More
   of my adult memories are returning to me in snatches from watching the
   men's actions and questioning what they do.

      The old warrior comes at me with the Wa-ha knife drawn. He points it
   at me as if to cut out my heart! I keep my face plain. His dark eyes...
   there's no death in them so I stand like a tree in the storm, unbending.
   The man's bladed hand drops down to my legs to cut their bonds. My hands
   are also released. I allow myself a small sigh of relief. `Men will come
   to test you,' speaks the voice in my head. Yes. Big Horn still serves as
   my monedo.

      The men mount up and Second Bird offers me his hand. When my body
   presses against his over the horse's back, I notice that he's wearing a
   rear thong down the crack of his butt. No longer may my dick get into his
   hole from the motion from riding. Nor may that horny young warrior stick
   in whenever he wants! I reach my arms around my companion's body and lock
   my hands over his warm belly.

      We travel at a fast gallop. It seems that the old warrior is much
   concerned for his little brother. We rush past the low hills with little
   regard for watching out for danger. How can these men ride so boldly
   without a concern for an enemy's ambush? Are these their tribal lands with
   safe travelling and hunting? I am lost here without remembering the events
   that had led up to my broken head thoughts.

      Crumobia leads us into a small green valley. He gets down from his
   horse in his careful search for tracks. We follow behind while remaining
   on horseback and Heskiawanno circles around to keep an eye out for enemies.
   A small stream is crossed. After filling our water skins, the old warrior
   follows its bank with much trepidation. I feel cold chills down my back as
   if expecting something bad. Have I been here before?

      Heskiawanno cries out to us from the other side of the stream. We cross
   over to see what the young warrior has found. Crumobia drops to his knees
   in anguish before a pile of clothes: a deerskin breechclout, war shirt and
   pair of moccasins. The warriors find another breechclout with a small
   deerskin bundle tied to it. What grabs their attention is a blood trail. I
   notice that the sign for `bear' is warned by the old warrior in his silent
   hand gesturing to us all. We walk the ill-portent path of blood as if
   expecting the worst.

      Remains are soon discovered. Flies cover the broken bones and grizzled
   tissue of what was once a man. The old warrior turns away with sadness
   filling his face; we all lower our eyes in shame when hearing him cry out
   in woe. Though he's my enemy, I can feel the man's loss for his younger
   brother. He soon recovers his composure and barks out orders to
   Heskiawanno and Second Bird. My hands are bound again to guard against my
   trying to run away.

      Second Bird and I are tasked to search for wood and anything that will
   burn. Only a few words are exchanged between us. He tells me that
   Treskawa's spirit will be freed through fire. I shudder in disgust. To my
   People, a dead man's body can only release its spirit by the compassionate
   hand of Father Sun. That's why we raise our dead to His sky on wooden
   platforms. Burning bones will only anger Him.

      I shrug my shoulders at their People's strange death rite. Second Bird
   finds some dry sticks and loads them over my arms. When I ask where he
   hides his small flint blade, the brave will only say that it's not yet
   time for that. We return to the two warriors who have prepared the corpse
   for its ritual burning.

      It's a difficult thing for me to watch. Every part of my being cries
   out at the wrongness of what they do! Burning is bad. I didn't know this
   man yet I wouldn't wish it on anyone, friend or foe to have his spirit
   forever wandering the earth under the Angered Face of our Father! It's no
   wonder that our Peoples are at war. They believe in strange ideas and do
   things wrong that go against custom.

      The dead man's breechclout was returned to him. It must have been a
   grizzly task for the warriors to rearrange his bones to their proper
   places; some were missing and many broken with obvious gnaw markings. Oh,
   it must have been a bad death! My heart goes out to Crumobia for having
   found his brother like that.

      I'm forced to stand with the other men when the brave's body is set to
   fire and burned. It's a terrible thing to watch; the smell difficult to
   endure. I'm surprised to see the old warrior crying. He must have truly
   loved Treskawa yet a proven man should keep his moment of weakness from
   all other's eyes.

      I See a man's eyes narrowing from his intense pleasure of sex. Its
   result gushes deep in my butt. His male body has fulfilled my own. When I
   expect to see anger returning to his dark eyes, I see a pleading in them
   instead. `Do not hate my brother so much that you must seek to slay him!'
   speaks a ghostly voice. `Remember how you turned away from what was
   expected of you by changing hatred into love.'

      I nod my head with understanding to what the dancing flames have shown
   me. Their helpful whisperings end. In the next moment, I feel a windless
   breeze pass through me like the cold hand of winter. It makes me tremble.
   I turn away from the grizzly burning to stare into Father Sun's smiling
   face instead. He has already released the fallen brave's spirit unto Him
   so the flesh burning rite serves no useful purpose nor a bad one. I am
   much relieved.

      When the man's remains turn to smoke and embers, Crumobia turns away
   with dried tears over his face. We follow him back in silence to where the
   horses have been tethered. The old warrior fetches something from the
   ground. He turns to me with anger on his face. In his hand is a partial
   breechclout; only a single deerskin flap and thong belt. He closely
   watches my eyes when its small leather bundle is snapped from the belt and
   opened. I'm curious to see what's inside it. Objects drop to our feet. I
   feel that I'm in a deadly contest with matching his stare to my own but I
   drop my eyes to see what has fallen to the ground.

      There are several tied objects and a coil of braided hair. After the
   old warrior has opened the smaller bundles to release their power, he
   stomps them into the dirt. He's often looking into my eyes for a reaction.
   I don't know whose bundle this was or what the bits of teeth, dried
   leaves, black stones and the braided hair fetish had meant to its owner.
   All I know is that they have been ruined. The warrior had expected me to
   react to their desecration?

      The old warrior seems satisfied with something about me. He turns away
   with sadness returning to his aged face. Heskiawanno comforts him with a
   hand over his shoulder. Tears sting his eyes which he tries holding back.
   His proud feathered head bows to the earth. I'm very taken by his display
   of mourning for his slain brother. Second Bird grabs my arm to take me
   away from watching the warrior's grief. He is wise to keep me from drawing
   the wrath of these men.

      The bindings around my hands are untied. At my feet is the ruined sacred
   bundle and the half-breechclout. While avoiding the broken objects, I pick
   up the thong belt and tie it around my waist, dropping the single deerskin
   flap over the front of my body. These lusting men aren't interested in
   that part of me so I'll keep my loins covered with some dignity.

      The warriors make another careful search of the area. Crumobia finds two
   sets of horse tracks; one from his brother's horse and the other from what
   is believed to be from that mystery man. They think he may still be near.
   Where is that man whose breechclout I wear? I see determination on the old
   warrior's face to find him and to get his brother's stolen horse back.

      Heskiawanno glares at me when noticing my single flap. I turn to Second
   Bird to show the warrior that my butt is still uncovered; a strange thrill
   comes to me from the act. Do I want to get myself raped again? The brave
   gives me a small grin. I know that he likes getting his butt stuck into
   although he now has the right to deny the lusting warrior's advances. I've
   not been given that same respect as their boy/sex captive. I suppose that
   I'm lucky to still be alive.

      The rest of our day is spent in search of the mystery man and the two
   horses. To Crumobia disappointment, neither is found. Some old snares and
   stick traps are discovered but they don't impress the warriors as being
   significant. The green valley yields nothing further by the approach of
   evening.

      We mount up. The warriors don't want to camp here because of the bear
   and what had befallen Treskawa. The valley with its ill portent is left
   far behind. I believe that we're heading back to our previous camp in that
   small stand of trees. It's a slow journey in the dark. Grandfather moon is
   sleeping these nights and my thoughts turn to escape. How easy it would be
   for me to fall from Second Bird's horse and run before the warriors
   discover my absence. The only problem is that the blame would fall on the
   brave for allowing it. He also wants to leave these men. I must wait until
   the right moment comes for both of us to escape together.

      During our slow ride, I lay my head against Second Bird's back while
   holding him close as if he were my loving brother. The warriors can't see
   what we do in the dark. My head is so weary. I don't understand where my
   energy has gone! In my head, I keep hearing a faint whispering that
   reminds me of Treskawa. Strange since I've never heard his voice or
   remember having met the man.

      I'm nudged awake by Second Bird who helps me down from his horse.
   Cricket song fills the dark. We must be in the woods since I cannot see
   the stars above. My bladder pains me so I take a piss while reaching my
   hand out to a tree for support. Yawns erupt from me. When I finish, my
   weary body drops down to sleep over the ground.

      A great black bear comes to me in the night. I don't fear him but give
   the man an embrace of love. He spreads his fur over the ground to allow me
   to rest upon him in comfort like a ground mat. `Oh, Big Horn. I have missed
   you so much!'

      A naked youth disturbs our sleep. The bear's head turns to glare at the
   cute boy who approaches to win my love. I open my arms to embrace our
   lusty love making; Big Horn is ignored. The man/bear makes low growling
   noises when my kisses fall to the youth's soft body. I find his stiff pole
   with my mouth. His sweet clear seed is sucked out and I grin when hearing
   the boy's high-pitched cry. My own need takes me to the other side of his
   body. I lick between the youth's butt cheeks to make the way slippery for
   our joining. My dick slips in. Big Horn's great shaggy body shakes from
   great anger when I fuck the boy and give him my love's seed.

      There is shouting. I awaken in the early morning to find chaos in our
   camp. Crumobia and his lover are chasing after the spooked horses. Second
   Bird squats near me with fear in his eyes. I ask him what has happened.

     "Didn't you feel the anger of Mother Earth?"

     I shake my head with confusion. "What anger?" I ask. "What has She done?"

      Second Bird points at the ground. "She moved Her body with great anger
   to shake us all up. It has sent the horses in flight!"

      I try rising from the ground but discover that my hands and feet have
   been bound. Second Bird watches the warriors catch a horse and try calming
   it. The others have run off. With that one horse, I realize that they
   should be able to recapture the other two. A plan comes into my head. That
   will leave only one warrior to face the both of us when the other rides
   from camp.

      I manage to get to my knees and with Second Bird's help I stand. He
   leads me to the embers. While the warriors are distracted, he taps one of
   the stones ringing the fire pit with his right foot while gesturing the
   words `hidden flint'. I nod my head in understanding. When the time comes,
   I'll know where to cut my bonds.

      Second Bird throws some wood onto the embers to make a fire before he's
   called away to help with the spooked horse. I reach out to the building
   warmth and stare deep into the flames. They dance like mischievous boy
   nymphs which reminds me of my recent dreaming. That boy I was making love
   to... who is he?

      I remember Big Horn's angry growl and how he tried shaking us off his
   bear's fur back. What does my dream mean? My bound hands reach into the
   fire for an answer. There's no pain. Yet I feel my inner being burning
   with the knowledge from our Father! I am a lover of boys; no shame for
   that. Men will not understand my attraction to youths even if they are of
   the Mahyee-na spirit as I am. My eyes burn with the determination to walk
   my own path in spite of what others think of me. It gives me strength. I
   laugh from the great power that I'm feeling over everything that comes
   from the special connection that I have to our Father. I accept my destiny!

      The yellow flames scatter in a puff of smoke. My feet shake and I find
   myself falling to the ground. No. It's not me who is shaking but the earth!
   My head strikes the dirt with a thud and darkness takes me.

      I'm walking along a wide muddy river in the sunlight. The happy tipis
   of my tribe reach for the blue sky and children are at play. I am at peace
   with myself. Everyone here knows of my Mahyee-na spirit that includes
   loving boys. I have led my People from the wisdom passed onto me from our
   loving Father. I am their shaman, Willow Bird!

      Across the muddy river stands a half-naked boy who is nearly that age
   of being named a brave. He has been separated from his People. Two dear
   lovers have been taken from him and the doubts in his heart plagues his
   future. He is very lost.

      I call out to the boy. When he turns to face me, I fly over the slow
   moving water and drop into his body with my spirit to reclaim myself. I am
   Willow Bird, Warrior!

      I awaken on my belly with a tickly sensation in my butt. Someone's
   strong hands are gripped around my thighs and I hear his lusty gasps for
   breath. The man moves over my back. I feel his big dick penetrating me
   deeply and with the pain comes an inner explosion of remembrance: I can
   remember all that I am!

      These warriors... they are who had murdered and raped my fasting
   guardian, Tree Snake! Second Bird had told me as much. And who is that
   brave to me? We share a similar face as if he were my father's son. He's
   of the Split Muddy River Tribe that had broken away from our People in the
   time before our fathers. That explains why he may be trying to help me. A
   captive like myself unto these lusty men but he has accepted being named a
   brave of their People. Should I continue to trust him?

      Where are my People? I must escape and find my way back to them! I'm in
   great jeopardy while remaining with these enemy warriors. To them, my life
   is but a whim in their hands to keep or to drop like a discarded bone when
   they're done eating me. It makes me hate them!

      I'm returned to the now by the pain in my butthole. The warrior is
   making a brutal use of it with his dick striking inside me like a knife.
   My hands are bound. His weight on top keeps me to the dirt like the fallen
   buffalo from his spear. My legs are also bound. His arms reach around to
   my upper chest while he gives my shoulder kisses and small bites. I'm
   forced to perform as the man's bito-wan-ahee; his boy/sex captive. Our
   mock love-making sickens me!

      The fire warms my hands and calls out to me with a chorus of strange
   whisperings. I avoid the yellow dancing flames - no time for Fire Speaking
   now. A large rock lying in the ring of the fire pit draws my attention.
   There's something under it. The warrior is busy fulfilling himself as a
   man so I take this opportunity to reach for freedom. My bound hands creep
   along the ground. I touch upon the fire-heated rock and dig into the dirt
   at its base. That's where Second Bird had indicated to me where he had
   hidden the sharpened flint.

      Loud grunts come from the man in my butt. I must hurry! When my fingers
   cut upon something sharp, I dig around the long piece of flint until
   freeing it from the ground. It's the broken remains to a knife. I bring it
   between the palms of my tied hands and make a sawing motion with them. My
   chest is gripped more tightly and the warrior gasps at my neck. I know
   that he's close to cumming. To break the building rhythm of his climax, I
   thrash over the ground as if trying to avoid receiving his sperm in me.
   His cock slips from my butt. I hide the flint between my palms when he
   remounts me. His mean bites return to my shoulder and he makes a stronger
   grip of my chest. He intends to finish what he's started. Me too.

      I take the warrior's stabs in my butt while using the flint blade to
   cut my bonds. The fire crackles and hisses in warning. Where is Second
   Bird? I take a quick look around and see that we're alone in camp. Crumobia
   must have taken the brave with to help him recapture their horses.

      My hands finally loosen. Against my neck, I hear the warrior's
   approaching explosion. The flint blade is turned in my right hand and
   gripped in deadly earnest. I intend to kill him. Now!

      My anger is overpowering! Yet I force myself to wait for the best
   moment before striking. Heskiawanno releases a low moan of satisfaction.
   His cock still drives through my butt so I wait... Wait... I feel a gurgle
   in my hole that comes from the release of the man's seed. He growls out
   like a bear. Swift are my next actions. I violently turn onto my left side
   while swinging my right arm back. My bladed hand cracks against the man's
   head. His body falls away from mine.

      I roll over the ground and prepare for battle! None comes. I quickly
   cut the twine binding my legs and come to stand over the fallen warrior.
   There's a bleeding cut on his forehead; my strike has only knocked the man
   out. I feel a tremendous sense of power over him and to have gained my
   freedom. It has made me grow strong in a man's way. I pull away my front
   flap.

      My dick is standing along my belly with an aching. Below me, the
   sleeping warrior has his swollen cock oozing cum to his stomach. My butt
   stain is over it. I fall over the man to satisfy my great lust! Our
   bellies come together and rub. My hands reach out to his and grip them in
   case he awakens. My dick slides over the man's wet cock with its rush to
   also wet. I force our love making.

      No. What we do is not love. I'm not sure why I risk freedom and my very
   life to embrace this enemy warrior for lust's sake. It comes from anger.
   Great anger that centers in my loins and shouts to be released! My hands
   reach up to the man's shoulders so that I can more easily slide over his
   heated body. Our sweat and sexual oozing makes it an easy task. My
   pleasure is building. Our chests rub with my sensitive nipples bumping
   into his. My dick grinds over his cock. I dare to bite the man's chest.
   His blood is tasted in my mouth. Ah, my seed flows! It's a sweet pleasure
   to have won my freedom from this vile man.

      Breaths race through my mouth. Between our bellies, I feel the flow of
   our mingling seed. The tense bow of my body relaxes after releasing its
   arrows. My fingers loosen from around the warrior's neck. I slowly rise to
   a sitting position over the man with his wet cock tickling against my butt.
   It reminds me of his rape of it. I carry his life's essence within me. A
   sickening thought.

      There's a strange, dull gaze coming from the man's half-opened eyes.
   His mouth is open as if to cry out. I frantically look for my flint blade
   and grab it from the dirt but the man hasn't awakened. His facial
   expression is sad.

      I leap to my feet in fright. The warrior is dead - I have strangled
   him?! There are the telling red marks around his neck that have come from
   my fingers. My fear slowly turns to satisfaction. He should be dead. This
   man was my enemy and he had used my body so what I've done to him in
   return is a proper payment.

      Things must be done. Quick, Willow Bird! I grab my deerskin cloth from
   the ground and fold it over my thong belt to hide my dripping loins. A
   search of the warrior's body finds nothing useful for me to take; no
   weapons. The front of his body bears a long white streak of my cum. It
   pools in his dark groin hair. His swollen brown cock reveals its last
   performance in manly function. Let his lover return and see how sex was
   Heskiawanno undoing. It had weakened him enough so so that I could
   overpower him with my boy's need and slay him! It comes as a great
   satisfaction to know that my vow unto Tree Snake is being fulfilled. Only
   one more death to make.

      I wander around camp in a daze while deciding on what to take that I'll
   need for my journey: a filled water skin, rawhide shield, ground mat, a
   coil of twine and a pouch of smoke-dried venison. Everything else is taken
   to the fire and burned. To hide my tracks, a tree's leafy branch is brushed
   over my retreat. The open plains await me. I'm free at last to find my
   People!

      My swift legs carry me as far as they're able to go. A short rest is
   taken while my eyes search for signs of the enemy. None. I drink sparingly
   from my water skin. Without a horse, the vastness of the rolling hills can
   be my undoing. I must find more water and seek shelter during the day to
   keep the sun from burning me. For now, I'm forced to put as much distance
   as I can between Crumobia and myself and I know that he'll be coming after
   me. His lover is lying in the dirt just as they had left Tree Snake. Let
   him come and find me if he can. I would welcome a battle between us so that
   my vow unto my slain guardian can be fulfilled!

      My hands shake from my great anger. I slow my breaths and try relaxing
   my bow-strung body. If I'm to survive, I must be in control of my emotions.
   Rational thought is the proper path of the warrior. I grimace with
   disappointment. My act today has earned me the title of warrior though I've
   not yet been named a brave. I had neglected to scalp my enemy to show as
   proof unto my People of my deed.

      Perhaps I'll be given a chance to take Crumobia's scalp! He is a mighty
   three-feathered warrior that would be hard to take down by my hands alone.
   Would Second Bird aid me? If it came to a fight, on whose side would that
   young brave add his strength to? Mine? Or does he love that old warrior
   more than to win his freedom? I don't know. My thoughts keep going round
   and round in my head so I put a stop to them. Wearily, I rise from the
   ground and run between the hills.
