Red Prophet: The Tales Of Alvin Maker, Volume II - Plot & Excerpts
Ta-Kumsaw stood atop a dune, the White boy Alvin beside him. And in front of him, Tenskwa-Tawa. Lolla-Wossiky. His brother, the boy who once cried for the death of bees. A prophet, supposedly. Speaking the will of the land, supposedly. Speaking words of cowardice, surrender, defeat, destruction. “This is the oath of the land at peace,” said the Prophet. “To take none of the White man’s weapons, none of the White man’s tools, none of the White man’s clothing, none of the White man’s food, none of the White man’s drink, and none of the White man’s promises. Above all, never to take a life that doesn’t offer itself to die.” The Reds who heard him had heard it all before, as had Ta-Kumsaw. Most of those who had come to Mizogan with them had already refused the Prophet’s covenant of weakness. They took a different oath, the oath of the land’s anger, the oath that Ta-Kumsaw offered them. Every White must live under Red man’s law, or leave the land, or die. A White man’s weapons can be used, but only to defend Reds against murder and theft.
