Everyone present listens intently as he begins to speak about three Tuchuk women who, together, met an early fate while hundreds of their wagon crossed the river Cartius during the tribes migration south after a long winter. According to the Year Keeper, after their death they are met by the Spirit Guardian of the sky who says to them, "We only have one rule here in the spirit world...and that is - don't step on the vulos." So they enter the spirit world, and sure enough, there are vulos all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a vulo, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first Tuchuk woman accidentally steps on one. Along comes the Spirit Guardian with the ugliest man she ever saw. He chains them together and says "Your punishment for stepping on a vulo is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!" The next day, the second Tuchuk woman steps accidentally on a vulo, and along comes the Spirit Guardian, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman. The third Tuchuk woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any vulos, but one day the Spirit Guardian comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. Very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, thin, and to her surprize even in a collar. The Spirit Guardian chains them together without saying a word. The woman remarks to the handsome slave, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?" The slave looks up and says, "Well, I don't know about you Mistress, but I stepped on a vulo!" |
