This vision was the most vivid that she has ever had since her birth, and the only vision where a spirit has spoken to her directly. Most of her visions tuned into only two of her senses of sight and sound, this one was tuned to four; sight, sound, touch, and smell. The landscape that formed before her was stunning and she took her time processing it all.

She was standing at the top of a cliff staring into a valley, and as she looked over the valley she felt the slightest of breeze. The breeze brought the faint Aroma of wet grass and clean air which you can only get after a heavy rainstorm. She took in a deep breath and smiled. That she was breathing in the fresh air she heard of Russell of branches behind her and she snapped her head over her shoulder. As she turned and try to locate the source she noticed that there was only a single tree about twenty feet ahead of her. And the top the lowest branch sat an owl.

The owl was a light brown with gray feathers here and there, giving it a peppery look. As she watched the owl it took flight and started to Glow a bright white. It was startling and mesmerizing, and she watched entranced as the owl before her shifted into a man. She knew who this man represented thanks for the form from which he started, the owl. He was the spirit of wisdom.

" listen to me child, for what I convey to you must not be taken lightly nor forgotten." The spirit said as he stared into her eyes as if searching her. Seeming satisfied with what he saw he continued. " 3 days from now a white man will be captured on sacred ground and brought forth for judgment. He must not die!"

The girl seemed taken aback. "I-I-I... I don't understand" the girl stammered. " the white men have killed and raped men in My Tribes' people already!" She said, tension in her voice. " you come to me in my visions and tell me that one will not desecrate sacred grounds and we are to withhold judgement." She was at the verge of yelling at the spirits with frustration. " you are the spirit of wisdom, how could this be wise?" She asked in disbelief.

With a look of complete calm, the spirit spoke " calm yourself daughter and I shall explain what I am allowed to." With physical effort she took a deep breath and calm down some. " this white man is nothing like those you have met before, because he is not from this time. He lives a little over four hundred years in the future." This stunned her.

" if he lives four hundred years from now how will it come to pass that he was up here and now?" She could not fathom the idea that such a thing was possible.

" I cannot tell you the details of how he got here other than the fact that it was the spirits and myself who brought him here." He looked at the girl with curious eyes wondering what she would make of this. " the white men who have attacked your people have done much more and driven your people from their homes in timeline of the one we are sending you. They will do the same again in your timeline if something isn't changed." He watched her and waited for a response.

" are you saying he is to be our savior? That he would betray his own kind for us?" She was having a hard time processing all of this. Why would a white man even want from the future betray his own?

The spirit smiled at her " yes. It is since he is your savior, however before he can be your savior you must be his." He watched her for time as she trying to process all this before he spoke again. " do you understand? Will you be his savior?"

She looked at the Spirit of wisdom solemnly and replied, " if it is the will of the spirits than I accept the test laid out before me."

The spirit looked back so lonely and gave that one final warning. " the path is a difficult one but persevere and your people will be saved. One final thing, you must not speak of this Vision to anybody until the white man has arrived in the village." She nodded as a spare transform back into the owl and flew away. As she watched him go the vision started to fade before her, and she watched as The beautiful landscape slowly Fade to nothing.

" it seems like that one took more out of you than usual." The old man in front of the girl said. " go, rest, we can talk about it later"

" yes Grandpa"
