When they went back to the wigwam the Invisible Ones sister took off the strange cloth off of

Oochigeaskw and washed her with water from a special jar. Under her gentle hand the young

women's scars disappeared, leaving her skin smooth and shining. She also combed

Oochigeaskw hair, and as she did, it grew to her waist. Oochigeaskw has not been treated

with such kindness since her mother passed on. And the joy on her face transformed it into

the most surpassing beauty. Then the sister took out of a chest a beautiful wedding outfit, and

asked Oochigeaskw to put it on. She had just put it on when a deep voice said, "Greetings, my sister"!

Oochigeaskw turned around and stared at the young hunter. She saw surprise light his face

when their eyes meet.

"Greetings, my brother" the sister replied. You are discovered at last.

The Invisible One walked over to Oochigeaskw and took her hands in his. "For years I have

waited for a young women with a pure heart and a brave spirit, only such one could see me",

he said. "And now that I have seen you, you shall be my bride". He said again.

They got married. And then on Oochigeaskw had a new name: the Lovely One. They lived happily ever after. AMEN
