A New Outlook and The Trip to Return Home…

Miseli woke up to hearing birds chirping as she stretched as Way woke Miseli you are awake… my head feels like a sledgehammer hit it… you came back that’s all it matters to me my love…thank you for bringing me back to the world of the living…you did that all on your own Miseli…

When she kissed Way on his lips and felt his athletic form while her hand caresses his manhood…MMMM Waya you are so huge while pinning him underneath of her… when Miya came in good morning…. OOOOOHHH SHIT…. Embarrassed Miseli back under the fur covers… don’t be bashful dear I have seen you naked remember…. Oh, my head is so foggy and….

Just relax dear it is part of the spirit walk… so it was real…yes it was dear… what would have happened if I died there… then, my dear child, you would die here for your spirit can’t live without the other but I am glad to see you return safe and sound…. So, my spirit animal… is… is… A cougar dear strong independent agile and quick and leader of the hunt…

It fought with me nearly drowned me there if it was not for you and the tribe and Geya when Way and Miya spoke Geya… I would have been a goner… there was no Geya here love… I know what I have seen and heard love she led me the way…Hun, I am not saying you are crazy but Geya is not real…Yes, she is love she…she…when Miya spoke do you know who she really is my dear … no, I don’t please it don’t make any sense Miseli spoke…

Geya is actually the spirit of Mother earth herself… when Miseli spoke you mean…Way said dear you met the mother of all life itself Gaia… you mean… yes, we Cherokee believe that Gaia only visits those who she deems worthy and you should be proud of this journey….

I am Miseli spoke back with a smile and I am proud to call myself a member of your tribe Waya I want to thank you so much for opening the veil of my sheltered life… as you know dear you must finish your promise though Miseli Li daughter of the cougar…

I know but I want to do that back home with our new family is that alright… but of course dear come stand up while feeling the silky material still wet with her fluids stifling a moan of excitement when Miya spoke here try this on as Michelle stood up now naked in front of them both and placing on a new animal hide dress as it hugged her curves in all the right places when Miya spoke now kneel dear as she pulled out a pelt attached to a cougar head and placed it on her head… can't let you be addressed to the tribe without the proper headgear my dear child…

Thank you, Mrs. Light feather, I will make you proud…you don’t need to make me proud dear live life to the fullest…Way may I ask you something… Of course, love what is troubling you… nothing that is troubling but the old me never thought I would be asking this… but in my research, I have seen most of your… now ours dear… I meant ours did markings of their experiences and I want to continue the tradition… you mean you want a tribal tattoo…

Yes, Yes I want to document my change from the woman I once was to what I am now I know the old Michelle part of me never wanted things like that… but… being reborn to the person you are now I think it is a good idea dear but that decision is totally up to you for it is your body… no, my love, my body, and soul belongs to you… if you want to do so then, by all means, go for it…

Miya is there…of course dear but what kind of tattoo would you be willing to get when Miseli lowered her dress left shoulder sleeve and closed her eyes and said a tribal circle of life with a cougar paw connecting to the branches… we can do that my dear but know we don’t do them with tattoo guns we do them the old-fashioned way and can be quite painful when Miseli spoke I lived through the poison so it can not be that bad… then come and follow me as Way said I will see you soon my love and kissed her lips when Miya said follow me…

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Uintah Ouray tribe please welcome home Miseli~Amanida~Li Daughter of The Cougar and member of the Chickasaw Tribe while all the camp bowed at her feet….

While walking to the elders hut another older man sat there smoking a peace pipe and passed it to Miseli she looked at the elder and bowed while bringing the pipe to her lips while he lit the tobacco while she inhales filling her lungs with rich smoke making her feel at peace as she exhales the smoke tasting the sweetness of the smoke tickle her taste buds and heard him spoke you want to mark of your rebirth while Miya spoke in her native tongue branches of life connecting a cougar paw…I can do that dear we can start if you like when Miya removed the headdress as Miseli removed her left shoulder and said I trust in your skillful hand Elder…

Please call me Gabe while smoking his pipe once again and spoke this is numbing agent dear will make your shoulder numb and I hope you are not squeamish about blood… are you kidding I was a doctor so blood doesn’t bother me…

Gabe started to inject the numbing fluid while she asked how long have you been here, when Gabe spoke I was born in 1926 and lived here all this time dear while slapping the numb area can you feel that… no, Gabe… Good, what colors do you wish to have… I know I want wait why don’t you surprise me you are the expert here… First tattoo… yes, how can you tell… a woman like yourself wanting to get a tattoo is like a blank canvas screaming for it to be painted on…

While he dipped the large needle into the inkwell and said you may feel a slight pinch while working on the outline of her tattoo design upon her left shoulder…

Waya came to the tribal lounge and said Miya thank you both for your generosity and hospitality… the pleasure is all mine dear son of the Chickasaw Tribe when we heard your tribe was nearly wiped out we feared we lost you too…

The beast that did this still lives but I found out she was not able to control herself as she was a victim too…how does it make you feel son… conflicted I mean she wiped out my family and my love… but you found another in Miseli dear… I know but I miss my true love, Dona, too… she would not want you to live in sadness dear she would want you to move on and you have… Miseli loves you and to take the spirit walk like she did shows you that… but what do I do about the enemy who now is closer than a friend…do you trust her…

She has regained some of my trust Miya but I just got a nagging feeling… I feel your pain son of the Chickasaw and do what is right in your heart and soul to make things right who knows the enemy of my enemy is my friend always remember that and you have a home here for the both of you… thank you again Miya…

Back at Gabe’s hut Miseli spoke so how does it look just adding the finishing touches and we are done… when Gabe produced a hand mirror and said what do you think when she saw the branches of life entwining and circling her cougar paw and saw the two feathers holding a ribbon at the bottom written in Cherokee…

Oh, my this is more than I imagined looking back at the black tat with mixtures of blues, reds, and smoky grey, what does the inscription say… he spoke back Daughter of the Cougar while spreading ointment on the freshly made tattoo and wrapping it up and said every other hour spread this ointment to prevent scarring my dear and thank you for allowing me to perform this service making Michelle smile with pride… I will always cherish this, my friend, as she hugged the elder and left his Hutt…

Waya said Miseli are you ready…I am my love but we must come back to visit soon when Miya said our doors are always open to you my dear daughter of the tribe of Chickasaw while pecking her forehead and said when you get home open this as it was a part of your spiritual journey as another elder gave them both a hand carved peace pipe and tobacco and helped them into wagon… while all the tribe members all watched as Waya and his new found mate disappeared towards town in the dead of night heading towards the bus depot…
