tokoyami was the tribe's ruler

he protected the tribe with all his might

wore the furs of the animals he fought that tried to attack the tribe

the tusks of wild bores that threatened to attack newborn children hung next to his feathered black hair

and along those feathers were the paints of his tribe

along the ends of his feathers, around his eyes and face, they connected

beads and jewels hung around his neck to show his importance

the cloths both patterned and not lay upon his body

his mighty spear never used to spill the blood of innocence, but simply a stand for his most sacred and powerful weapon would lie in waiting for the time to act

the tribe showing their gratitude for its leader

the leader did not speak

the leader would be seen staring out in the middle of the night

gathering strength as he went into the night to gather supplies in the moon's light

the leader was wise

the leader was strict

the leader was just

the leader was a tokoyami

these attributes that were carried off in their family's genes

making each tokoyami ancestor as such a leader as the last

and fumikage tokoyami was no different
