Part 3/23:

***Stratford Planet is destroyed! My dad took me in his arms and held me firmly, we entered in our smallish ship, and father flew as far as he could away from Connecticut...
He told me***:" We have to go, because ~my son~ we have nothing to do here anymore. We literally struggle to survive here, with no friends, no family, only what remains is survival "

Unfortunately, after a short time, when we pulled back into a lull of Sirius, my father was dying. When he saw my sad eyes and how afraid I was, he stroked me on the head and said "My son, do not worry, go as far away from here find your way. Listen to me, we are driven out of Connecticut, all our members are killed or mia,you'll find the rest of our brothers traveling, and they will ask you... need you, you need them!

One night when you'll be asleep, you'll hear a voice in a dream. It will whisper you what he have to say, you've got to interpret his words, when you did it, you'll be unique as your other brothers children of the great spirit."

Those were his last words!
That's what I remember, left me deeply etched in memory...
All I have at that moment was words of my father, which I'll never forget.

After a while, I traveled. I flew in search of my brothers, I got tired, I stopped...
In my cold ship, I settled to rest my eyes a bit... and then, I heard voice in my head *ghost voice*"Now I have to say something. Listen to me carefully my boy.

Coyote was sorrowful because people died and gone to the land of spirits.
He died and his sister and several of his friends.
Eagles friend died and he was sued for it.
Coyote and Eagle went together to the Land of the Dead.
They reached the high water.
Waiting for dark, coyote starts singing and in the short time of occurrence of the four human spirit and carry them to the Land of the Dead.
... entered the camp, composed of thin aura where the spirits of the dead, great dressed and painted colors, danced and sang with drums beating.
Moon that hung above them, meet the camp light.
Close to the moon stood a frog, the mistress of the camp.
Early in the morning departed spirits of the camp to work on the day sleeping.

Then the Coyote scalp her skin the frog and a goat.
On the evening, ghosts come back and begin the second night of singing and dancing.
Coyote, with the frog skin, stood near the moon.
When the song and dance were at their peak, Coyote swallowed the moon.
In the darkness, the eagle catches the spirits of people and put them in a basket, Coyote lid tightly closed. Then the two men walked into the living Earth.
Coyote was carrying the basket, and the Eagle flew in front of him.
On the road they heard the voice in the basket.
Ghosts have complained and some of them shouted in unison" :"Open the lid and let us get out" !...Coyote was tired, because the basket was more and more difficult to carry..." Let them come out," said Coyote." No, no "- Eagle said.
After a while Coyote came down the basket, basket was too heavy." Let them come out", repeat the Coyote." We're already so far from Earth, the spirits not to return." And he opened the basket.
People received a form of spirit, moving like the wind, came to the land of the dead.
At first the Eagle reproached Coyote, but then remarked:" It is already autumn. Leaves fall, as people die. Let's wait until spring.
When the buds open and flowers bloom, you will return and try again" ... No" said Coyote" I'm tired. Let the dead stay dead on the island forever"
So the Coyote has introduced a bill that is dead after the death of not coming back to life.
He oppened the basket and let the ghosts that came out, dead to be returned each spring to life, as to renewed grasses, flowers and trees."

I woke up with fear, I did`t know what to do...what this meant, I was thinking...AND THAN...out of nowhere the children of the grear spirit arrived, my brothers. They told me: "You shoukd go with us, you are one us. You have no longer need to worry, we have everything you'll ever need and we know your grand grandfather, he was the Great Chief once. Whose name doesn't should
be mentioned" Great Spirit is all around us, the only real children of the great one can interpret its words. Maybe this is what he said, but no one knows and doesn't need to know.
I went with my brothers and I realized that I'm not lost and alone in the Sirius, i`m reborn!!!
