And if the Shiuana were to hear an irrelevant or unpleasant utterance on the part of their children, things might go wrong. There is, beside, the barrier between clan and clan, the mistrust which one connection feels always more or less strongly toward the others.
Make wise the heart, cunning the ear, bright the eyes, and strong the arm. Give us wisdom and goodness, that our hearts may listen ere we say 'yes, 'no, or 'perhaps. Assist your children, help the Zaashtesh, that they may remain united among themselves, wise, far-seeing, and strong. We call upon you, the Shiuana, the kopishtai; whisper to us good thoughts and guide us to the right. Raua, raua!
The Shiuana, he had been taught, dwelt in the clouds, and they were good; why, then, was it that from one and the same cloud the beneficial rain descended, which caused the food of mankind to grow, and also the destructive hail and the deadly thunderbolt? A faint, muttering sound, deep and prolonged, struck his ear. He started, for it was distant thunder.
A terrible pang flashed through Tyope's heart, for he had experienced how little the Shiuana liked him. Kauaitshe continued in a low voice, artless, but the more impressive for its natural sadness, "While you went to strike the Tehuas with our men, the Moshome Dinne came upon us." A shriek of dismay, of terror, issued from every one present, Tyope excepted.
The spirits the Shiuana he thought, were kindly disposed toward his people; and this caused him to wonder what the Shiuana might really be, and why they acted so and so, and not otherwise.
In a general sense, they might be called the "spirits of the Fetiches." As everything strange, unusual, or inexplicable is attributed to spiritual origin, the numbers of the Shiuana are very great. Shotaye had taken no part in the great dance, and no one had missed her. It was known that whenever the Koshare appeared in public she was certain to stay at home.
But it was not the influence of Shotaye alone that produced such a great change in the mind of Say Koitza. It was the fact that at the same time, and through the unwelcome interruption by Shyuote, the Shiuana so she believed had sent her a message confirmatory of the woman's admonition. Say did not, she could not, reason as we should under similar circumstances.
Where the ends of the luminous arch appear to rest, a message from heaven is said to be deposited. No more favourable token could have greeted him, for although the message was not for him, since the brilliant bow seemed to stand far off from the Rito, still the Shiuana, the spirits, graced the sky with their presence.
We cannot listen to anything that calls forth two kinds of words, and that may bring strife," he emphasized strongly the latter word; "we cannot therefore remain. May the Shiuana enlighten your hearts. We shall pray that they will counsel you to do good only." The old Hotshanyi rose and went toward the doorway. His form was bent, his step faltering. His two associates followed.
His silence determined the people of the Rito, for they took it for granted that the higher powers approved of Hayoue's resolution to leave. It may seem strange that the Chayan did not insist upon consulting the Shiuana first, for Hayoue would have been compelled to abide by their final decision.
