Born to a tribe that throws you out... that's how it feels to a young boy. Cast to the mountains he spent his life learning how to protect the tribe that threw him out. His mentor an old and wise man, full of lessons and very little conversation. He wasn't friendly but he was far less dangerous than his other teacher, 'Big Bear'. The Wind, water, rocks and fire of the land remained his worthy teachers, but will he ever really learn of his true purpose? Was it really to be ignored for years at a time, just to be ignored further when he fulfilled his duty of warning about imminent weather and likely attacks from 'Big Bear'?
Like rocks and water his story spans many lives, but he wants you to follow. Watch him learn that he is not a Shaman, not a Hunter, not a Father, not quite a story teller, not a powerful advisor, he is a man.
Whether it's because he's been forgotten or entrusted, it doesn't really matter... he will live in accordance with his heart because it is the nature of the land.
'Big Bear' lives in accordance with the land... and what must be done, will be done.

In a world that screams, I stand in despair,
My voice drowned out, lost in the air.
Chains of tradition tighten each day,
I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay.
Each breath I take feels heavy and torn,
Every mistake a scar I've worn.
I crave a sky where I can be free,
Away from the walls that imprison me.
For now, I sit with my heart in pain,
Silent, yet screaming, again and again.
Though shattered, a spark in me still survives,
Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
