Re: Chapter 2.2: To Bear Butte
Thunder Walker's expression hardened somewhat. It was clear that he was not getting through to the foolish man before him, so he imbued his words with dire meaning as he proceeded to issue a final warning. "We have heard the words of your Lord spoken to us before, by the same men that have broken treaty after treaty, that have killed our people, raped our women, slaughtered the buffalo that we may starve to death, and given us in trade gifts filled with disease so that our people would die. These are the acts of the men who have come before you talking of this Lord. And it is only by the power of the spirits and following our ancient traditions that we still live and that we have overcome, despite the acts wrought upon us by the followers of your book."
"Oh, I know there are good men among you, otherwise we would not be having this conversation at all. Yet...here you are again, violating the treaty - knowing that you do so, and intending to bring your blasphemy to the holy sites of our people. Even if you think that foolishly breaking treaties is a good way to begin with our people, think about how it will end. Your presence here may incite war, death and violence for those other than you as the tension between people here has been growing. You court death for yourselves, and for many others. No one here will hear your words, and you will be killed, or perhaps tied to a horse and dragged all the way back to Deadwood. At the end of your journey there, you may or may not be alive but at least there will be those to bury you in your tradition."
He paused, to give his last words dire meaning. "Leave, or this will be the end that all these people with you will face."
