As yet he had found no indication that anything above the intelligence level of the split horns was native to this world. But he was gnawed by the certainty that there was something here, waiting.... And the desire to learn what it was became an ever-burning ache. Perhaps he was what Deklay had accused him of being, one who had come to follow the road of the Pinda-lick-o-yi too closely.
We have no quarrel with one another, and perhaps our two peoples shall become one; after all, we do not differ too greatly...." He smiled and gestured to the fire and the dancers. Among the Mongols another man had gone into action, his head thrown back as he leaped and twirled, voicing a deep war cry. Travis recognized Deklay.
Sentries on lookout reported by mirror flash that Tsoay, Deklay, Lupe, and Nolan were now on the move to join the other three Apaches. If and when Manulito's trap closed its jaws on the Reds at the western ship, the news would pass and the Apaches would move out to storm the enemy fort on the prairie.
While Deklay had reverted to an ancestor who had ridden with Victorio or Magnus Colorado! Travis had a flash of premonition, a chill which made him half foresee a time when the past and the present might well split them apart fatally. "Devil or ga-n." A man with a quiet face, rather deeply sunken eyes, spoke for the first time.
"Always these machines.... Is that all you can talk about? It would seem that you are bewitched by these machines, which we have not seen none of us!" "It was a machine which brought you here," Buck observed. "Go you back and look upon the spaceship and remember, Deklay.
A figure broke from the grass, flapped his arms at one of the mounts, grabbed at flying mane, and pulled himself up on the bare back. Only a master horseman would have done that, but the whooping rider now drove the herd on, assisted by the snapping and snarling coyotes. "Deklay " Jil-Lee identified the reckless rider, "that was one of his rodeo tricks."
It is not proper for a man to eat from the pot, ride in the wind, sleep easy under the same sky with him who has slain his brother." "They have then killed among your people?" "They have killed," Menlik returned briefly. Kaydessa stirred and muttered a word or two to her brother. Hulagur's head came up, and he exploded into violent speech. "What does he say?" Deklay demanded.
Whether Deklay was skillful with his knife was another question, one which Travis would soon be able to answer. They circled, eyes intent upon each move, striving to weigh and measure each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Hear me, People: This Deklay he would walk among you as 'izesnantan, a great chief but he does not have the go'ndi, the holy power of a chief. For this Deklay is a fool, with a head filled by nothing but his own wishes, not caring for his clan brothers. He says he leads you into safety; I say he leads you into the worst danger any living man can imagine even in peyote dreams!
From the beginning he had had little hope of swaying Deklay; he could only trust that the verdict of the majority would be the accepted one. It went back to the old, old Apache institution of prestige. A nantan-chief had the go'ndi, the high power, as a gift from birth.
