Jade Hawk a Cherokee Indain Maiden, knew the legend of
So-qui-li (spirit horse). As Jade Hawk gazed out across
the open meadow. She saw him, the Black Stallion (So-
qui-li). Jade Hawk could tell that his heart and soul
were adawelagisgv (ablaze). For his heart and soul was
just as Jade Hawk's heart and soul were. The Black he
is so beautiful, that it takes Jade Hawk's breath away.
A proud majestic stanch he has. He has the control. Jade
Hawk dreams often of the Black Stallion. Always entering
her dreams the same way as the night before. It is as if
he is calling her name. The legend boast of the Black
Stallion as being untouchable. Jade Hawk knew different
her heart knew it was not so. She would have patiences
and wait. He will come to her, they were connected. Jade
Hawk knew one day soon she would be upon his back, with
the wind to their backs, and with the fury they both had,
they would fly across the meadow, free to be themselves.
Jade Hawk went to the meadow everyday. The Black Stallion
would come closer every time, making Jade Hawk's heart
beat faster and harder than she ever felt before. It was
so loud that to her it sounded like drums, beating in a
far away place, that Jade Hawk didn't know. Then one day
it was very sunny and warm. Jade Hawk fell a sleep, in
her mind she was in a dream. But when she woke it was
not a dream, the Black Stallion was standing over her,
as if to protect her. Slowly Jade Hawk stood up and began
stroking the Black Stallion's neck, then all a long his
body until she reach all the way around him. The bond
between the two of them had been made. Their hearts and
souls were now one. Jade Hawk pulled herself up on the
Black Stallion's back. They rode like the wind, the Black
Stallion's mane flying like a row of feathers. Jade hawk
let her hair down and it flows just as his mane does.
The picture they make is that of beauty and grace. You
can not tell where the Black Stallion starts and Jade Hawk
ends. She is proud sitting a top his back, he is proud
having Jade Hawk sitting there. Nothing can make them part.
The two of them are untamed. No ropes to bind them, no
ropes to hold them, they are free. Jade Hawk knows only
a pure heart can tame her, for that heart will love Jade
Hawk's heart above all else. She knows that when her
heart is tamed, so will the Black Stallion's heart be
tamed. Until then they ride fast in to the wind heart's
ablazed waiting for the day they will become complete,
when they will be whole. Their hearts and souls will
ablaze no more, they will hurt no more. Jade Hawk and the
Black Stallion wait with open arms, looking upward for
a sign from the spirits that hold all the answers to their
dreams. To the spirits that guide them, that protect them,
from all the black hearts and dead souls of the world.
Dohiyi (I wish you peace) they say. Do hi tsu (How are
you?) Jade Hawk answers Do hi quu (I am well) wa do
(thank you.) the spirits then answer Jade Hawk, Gvlieliaga
( you're welcome) and Jade Hawk takes off again on the
back of the Black Stallion. The spirits know that soon
a true heart, a pure heart will find Jade Hawk. He will
be thlah yah gwanh-tah (a person of soul, truth and feel-
ing to match Jade Hawk ( a person of passion), who will
akayotodi (absorb) the ehisdv (ache) of her heart and she
then can ease the pain of the Black Stallion's heart
for ever. They then will be whole, they will be complete.
