It is the tale of the land they cherish and the lives they hold sacred, lived until the enemy can no longer be stopped, and the dead have few left to weep for them. Night Bear hobbled to the tree where Hawk was still tied. Hawk was slumped over almost on his knees. His tied hands were the only thing that had held him from falling completely forward onto his face. Hawk's shield lay a few feet from him, partially in the creek. The Blue Thunder Eagle on its face appeared to have a source of light within it, as it caught the reflection of the night's bright full moon. Night Bear picked up the Shield.
