### Hero of the Horned Snakes

 In ancient times, there lived a very large snake that glittered nearly as bright as the sun. They had two horns on their heads, and they possessed a magic power of attraction. To see one of these snakes was always a bad omen. Whoever tried to escape from one instead ran directly toward the snake and was devoured.

 Only a highly skilled medicine man or hunter could kill a two horned snake. It required a very special medicine or power. The hunter had to shoot his arrow into the seventh stripe of the snakes skin. One day a Shawnee Indian youth was held captive by the Cherokees. He was promised his freedom if he could find and kill a horned snake. He hunted for many days in caves, over wild mountains, and at last found one in the Tennessee Mountains.

 The Shawnee youth made a large circle of fire by burning pine cones. Then he walked towards the two horned snake. When it saw the hunter, the snake slowly raised its head. The Shawnee youth shouted "Freedom or death!" He then aimed carefully and shot his arrow through the seventh stripe of the horned snake's skin. Turning quickly, he jumped into the center of the ring of fire, where he felt safe from the snake. A stream of poison flowed from the snake, but was stopped by the fire.

 Because of the Shawnee youths bravery. The grateful Cherokees granted him his freedom as they promised.
Four days later some of fhe Cherokees went to the spot where the youth had killed the horned snake. They gathered fragments of the snake bones and skin, tying them into a sacred bundle. These they kept carefully for their children and grandchildren, because they believed the sacred bundle would bring good fortune to their tribe.

 Also on the same spot, a small lake formed containing black water. Into this water the Cherokee women dipped their twigs used in their basket making. This is how they learned to dye their baskets black, along with other colors

# The Uktena Part 1

Long ago the sun got angry at the people on the earth and sent a sickness to destroy them, the Little Men changed a man into a monster snake, which they called Uktena, "The Keen-Eyed" and sent him to kill the sun.

 He failed, and the Rattlesnake was sent instead, which made the Uktena so angry that the people were afraid and had him taken to Galunlati, to stay with the other dangerous things.

He left others behind him, nearly as large and dangerous as himself, and they hide now in deep pools in the river and about lonely passes in the high mountains, the places the Cherokees call "Where the Uktena stays.".

 Of all daring warriors who have started out in search od the Ulun'suti only Aganunitsi ever came back successful. The East Cherokee still keep the one that he brought. It is a large transparent crystal nearly the shale of a cartridge bullet, with a blood-red streak running throughout the center from the top ro bottom.

 The owner keeps it wrapped in a whole deerskin, inside an eathern jar hidden away in a secret cave in the mountains.

Every seven days be feeds it with the blood of small game, rubbing the blood all over the crystal as soon as the animal has been killed. Twice a year it must have the blood of a deer or other large animal. Should he forget to feed it at the proper time it would come out of it's cave in a shape of fire and fly through the air to shake it's thirst with the lifeblood of the conjurer or one of his people.

 He may save himself from the danger by telling it, when he puts it away, that he will not need it again for a long time. It will then go quitely to sleep and feel no hunger until it is again brought forth to be consulted. Then it must be fed again with blood before used.

 My chickens starved?!

I fed them and fed them. But they musta been sick.

No matter how much feed they had, they didn't eat!

I watched them wither away in just a matter of days. I can't believe my eye's. It's the turkeys.

Praise our newfound god! The seed from beyond took root beneath our hallowed hills. Something ate all my fish!

This was ma lucky fishing spot, but it's been dead for a week straight.

 Terrible ringing in my head gets louder by the day, accompanied by freakish nightmares.

Last night I was visited by distorted vicious owls. They warned me of something, and I felt complete dread overwhelm me. I knew it was a dream, but I was so worried. I didn't know what I was worried about, I just felt terror. Maybe something happened in that dream that I can't remember.

 The ringing seems louder near the heart of the heart of the forest.

Like it has a direction now, My dreams haven't stopped either. They just keep getting worse.

I remember less and less of my dreams, but the feeling of complete terror lingers in my skull. Something about a crow, or a vulture and my veins had become vines. I no longer can tell if I'm awake.
 The sound is so loud! I must escape!

 The end has come, all is nigh.

To lose oneself, as I shall is a worse death.

They could not understand my mercy.

When the time shall come for burial, you may retrieve the key from the old graveyard. Someone must have slipped me something the other night.
 Yesterday while surveying I fell into a dream like state. I only have brief impressionistic memories of the trek. And at some point I gathered a bunch of strange indescent seeds.

I've planted a few and will document their growth.

 I feel at fault for what has happened, but how could I have known?

The seeds I brought back with me spread like a fire. It's more animal than plant, and seems drawn to blood.

 I waited until I could no longer resist the hunger.

 As I write, and as I die, I feel distortedl

My veins and spindly organs are twisting and growing beyond me. I rejected the metamorphosis, and now im going to be left behind while my body keeps going.

 Please do not look for me, for I am long gone.

 There’s almost no food left. I feel myself slipping away.

I will not succumb to the call of the wood.

I will resist.
