And we knew we were looking at last upon the Scarlet Priest. Yes, this was Amochol, the Red Sachem, the vile, blaspheming, murderous, and degraded chief who had made of a pure religion a horror, and of a whole people a nation of unspeakable assassins.
"Shall I lie?" she asked in even tones. And, quivering with impotent rage and superstition, the Red Priest found no word to answer. "O Amochol," she said, "let the armoured executioner loose his shaft. It is poisoned. Never since the Cat-People were overthrown has a poisoned arrow been used within the Long House.
"I have looked. And I see only the eternal wampum lying at my feet lacking a single belt." With a furious gesture the Red Priest turned and stared at the dancing girls who raised their bare arms, crying: "We have dreamed, O Amochol! Let your Sorceress explain our dreams to us!" And one after another, as their turns came, they leaped up from the ground and sprang forward.
So we ate our corn and dried meat, and drank at the pretty rill, and cleansed us of mud and blood, each after his own fashion discussing the scalping of the Eries the while, the righteous death of the Black-Snake, the rout of Butler's army, and how its unexpected arrival had saved Amochol.
Only to glimpse his scarlet rags fairly along my rifle sight!" "No bullets touch him." "That is nonsense, Mayaro " "No, Loskiel." "I tell you he is human! There are no sorcerers on earth. There never were except the Witch of Endor " "I never heard of her. But the Witch of Catharines-town is living. And her warlock offspring, Amochol!" He squared his broad shoulders, shaking them.
It was the Dream Feast, Lois, but Amochol has made of it an orgy unspeakable, where human sacrifices are offered to the Moon Witch, Atensi, and to Leshi and the Stone-Throwers, and the Little People many of which were not goblins and ghouls until Amochol so decreed them." "When is this feast to be held in Catharines-town?" "On the last day of this month.
As I travelled that trail through the strange, eternal twilight of the great trees, I vowed to myself that Amochol should die; that the Sagamore and I would guide a thousand rifles to his pagan altar and lay this foul priesthood prone upon it as the last sacrifice.
For they are sorcerers, and if one of them did not steal after the messenger when he left Yndaia with the poor mother's yearly gift of moccasins, then it was discovered by witchcraft." "For Amochol never forgets.
I whispered to the Sagamore. "Where is Boyd?" The executioner had risen, and was bending his bow; the Sorceress turned deathly pale but her blue eyes flashed, never swerving from the cruel stare of Amochol. "Where is Boyd?" I whispered helplessly. "They mean to murder her!" "Kill that executioner!" panted Lois, struggling in my arms. "In God's name, slay him where he stands!"
But this is only between the degraded and perverted priesthood of the Senecas and our Oneidas and Mohicans, whose Sachems and Sagamores have been outraged and affronted by the blasphemous mockeries of Amochol." "I have heard something of this." "No doubt, sir. And it is true. The Senecas are different. They belong not in the Long House.
