"Early enough yet, satyumishe," replied the old man quietly, and Tyame remarked, "Shyuamo dwells nearer to the uuityam than we. The Turquoise men have everything close at hand, the tapop, the place, everything, and everybody. All we have is the maseua," he added laughing, "and he is very old." The laughter became general, and Tyope said in a tone of flattery,
"Last night the uuityam was together, and to-day the yaya and the nashtio are fasting." Okoya innocently asked, "Why do they fast?" "That is just what I want to know," Hayoue impatiently exclaimed, "but surely it bodes nothing good." "Why should the wise men want something that is evil?" said the other, in surprise.
"What may this all be about?" wondered the younger brother. The elder brother shrugged his shoulders, sighed, and rubbed his eyes; and all four kept silent. "Is it perhaps from the uuityam?" asked Hayoue; and his mother exclaimed, "Surely it is." "Then something must have occurred," continued Hayoue; and with a side-glance at his brother, "I wonder if Tyope is fasting also?"
They hugged the rocks so closely that most of the time their figures disappeared in the inky shadows of projecting or beetling cliffs and pillars. One of these men asked in a low tone, "Are you going to the uuityam?" "I am," replied the other.
It was clear to him that the hour of that council must become an evil hour in the annals of his people. The four days at the expiration of which the council was to take place were drawing to a close, for it was the night of the fourth, that on which the uuityam was to meet.
"The Yaya Chayan and the uishtyaka perhaps alone know that. As soon as the Hishtanyi has done his work he will call the uuityam, and then those shall go that must. Perhaps I may go, perhaps not. It may be that both of us will be sent along. But we will go soon," he fiercely muttered, "soon, to take from the Tehuas what is precious to the heart of our father, who now goes toward Shipapu."
Every one cannot think, 'I am strong and wise, and I will follow the enemy. If the Shiuana do not help him, the strongest is weak, and the wisest is a child before the foe. See, satyumishe, I am as good a uakanyi as any one, but I do not know whether, when the Hishtanyi Chayan says in the uuityam which men shall go and take from the Tehuas what is proper, I may go with them.
For this reason did I speak to our father the tapop that he should call in the uuityam, in order that all might hear and that nobody could say afterward, 'Shyuamo hanutsh has taken from Tzitz hanutsh what belonged to the Water people, and behold we knew nothing about it! Shyuamo hanutsh" he raised his voice and glanced around with flashing eyes "has many people; Shyuamo is strong!
"I hear that sa nashtio maseua is going to the uuityam to-night; in that case Tyope will be there also." More she did not say, but Okoya treasured the hint, and made no remark about it, but at once thought that the time had come to pay a visit to the maiden.
She had evidently not noticed his presence and had gone back to her den in the cliffs in complete security. There, on this very evening, he would seize her, drag her before the uuityam, disclose her shameless and dangerous plots, and doom her to the horrible death she deserved to suffer. Whither was her accomplice, the Tehua, going meanwhile?
