“Tahnee has been reading your journals. I don’t see hope for me. Slaton was not blessed at birth as George was. He could die, and the demon has promised me he will do just that.”
“I’ve learned a lot since I left your world. There was much no one knew, not even the elders. The man you call Creeper is Jolon Kaliska as you might have seen in my journals. He came to visit family, but I have discovered that he pretended they were family. He had everyone fooled. For many generations he had been looking for the one that holds the mark. We are known as The Holders. Through us our people are given powers to fight enemies that arise. My time was during tribal conflict and assault by those that could not understand us. Prejudice was running high and many of us were beaten, raped, and killed. Those not of our race can be deadly when they become afraid of us. Through me, my husband was able to step up as chief and protect the tribe from those that meant to harm us.”
