“The Spirit Bison of the Wind Plains”
They say the first Bison was not made of flesh,
but of storm,
earth,
and the breath of the Four Winds.
He walked the plains before grass learned to grow,
before rivers chose their paths,
before humans had names for anything.
His hooves carved valleys.
His breath shaped clouds.
His shadow taught mountains where to stand.
The people call him Wind-Back,
the Spirit Bison who carries the memory of all things
on the ridge of his spine.
The Night of the Vanishing Fires
There is a tale the Elders guard carefully
the night when every fire in the village died at once.
The wind shrieked like a wounded being,
and darkness swallowed the plains so completely
that even the wolves held their voices.
Fear spread like cold water.
But then the ground began to tremble
not with danger,
but with purpose.
A massive silhouette emerged from the storm,
horns glowing faint as dusk,
coat rippling with lightning trapped under fur.
The Spirit Bison had come.
He did not speak.
He simply lowered his head,
and the fire returned
first as an ember,
then a spark,
then a blaze that warmed every trembling soul.
From that night, the people understood:
The Bison does not save.
He restores.
The Lesson of the Plains Guardian
The Elders say the Spirit Bison appears only
when a person’s strength has been drained
by long battles no one else can see.
He does not roar.
He does not demand.
He stands before them
vast, unmoved, unwavering
so they may remember:
“You are allowed to be tired.
But you are not finished.”
And when he turns to walk away,
the wind follows him like a loyal child,
carrying courage back into the hearts of the living.
The Final Teaching
On certain dawns,
when mist lifts slowly from the grass
and the land glows pale gold,
people say you can still see it:
a giant shape moving far on the horizon,
no sound,
no tracks,
only a presence
the Spirit Bison,
Keeper of the Strength That Returns.
