no Eternal Spirits. They are nothing but darkness
that dwells within flesh."
24 Bold Fox demanded an explanation from the agents of The Oneness but
they assured him all was well. Every captive returned to them had been
taken home. Only those that were already dead had they
buried. "What of those that are still among us," argued Bold Fox, "that wish to hear from their kinsmen?"
25 "We have taken home ALL our people," answered the emissary. "There
are no more of our people living in your Land. Those that remain here
are only the dead that you have graciously laid in the ground, and
given honor. Only your people dwell here now. As far as our people are
concerned, their kinsmen are dead and buried."
26 "In other words," snapped Bold Fox, "you do not acknowledge the
existence of your blinded comrades now living with us. As far as you
are concerned, they are dead. Is this what I am to tell them? That to
their people they are already dead and buried, and that they can never
go home?"
27 "You may tell your people," answered the representative, "whatever
you wish. It is not our concern."
28 "Get out!" cried Bold Fox. "Go crawl back under the rock that you
came from beneath!"
29 "There is no need," the man answered, "to insult me. Your opinions
are different from mine. We have different ideas of mercy."
30 "So I have come to understand," agreed Bold Fox "I don’t insult you,
I pity you! There shall be greater evil than yours, but it will be a
long time coming, and will not be of this world. Now as I said before....GO!"
31 Now Bold Fox knew it was useless to argue with these emissaries, so
he wrote a letter directly to the new Priest of Priests.
32 "We know," he wrote, "what you have done to your blinded soldiers
who were supposed to have been taken home.
