Therefore we take ahtzeta, for as long as the spirit is not at Shipapu it follows him who has taken the scalp, and serves and helps him. And the strength, wisdom, and knowledge of him whose scalp has been taken, hereafter belong to the man who took it; they increase his power and make the tribe more powerful." The appearance of the Rito from above presented at first sight nothing startling.
All this happened so quickly, brother, that I was not half way down when it was over, and a few of the Dinne rushed up to kill me. They were going to the caves to slaughter the people. I ran back and hid myself, and as they came up I shot at one of them so that he died. The Cuirana Naua killed another; the others ran away. We took their ahtzeta and kept guard over the caves, but for what?
"Behold, satyumishe, we have searched everywhere we could, have followed every trail we could follow. Nearly all the tracks were those of our people, of that I am sure, and how far have we not gone after them? Ten days at least we were in the mountains on the tracks of the Moshome Dinne. We fought them and took ahtzeta.
Toward morning she felt tired, and the scalp spoke, 'Lie down to rest, it is far yet to your people. She slept, but soon woke again feeling fresh and bright. Then the ahtzeta said to her, 'Let us go now, for soon the Dinne will be where you took me and where I became yours. On she ran, eating piñons as she went.
At noon the scalp was heard to say, 'My men have found the place, and are searching for your tracks. You must go faster. When the sun set the ahtzeta spoke again, 'Run, sister, they have found the trail and follow it on horseback. Thus she went all night long, and the nearer she came to Cochiti the more the scalp urged her to quicken her speed, for the Navajos were coming nearer and nearer.
For the third time the same voice said, 'Do not fear, sister; it is I, the ahtzeta, which speaks to thee.
And when the others saw it they ran out of the big house; but Hayoue and the men followed and killed nine ere they could hide on the Kauash." "So you have taken many ahtzeta?" one of the bystanders asked. Kauaitshe began to count, "Eleven two twelve nine; thirty-four," he concluded, adding, "without those that Okoya may have if he be alive."
