Eye of the Raven
“They paddled relentlessly now through the shallow waters, past the river's hundreds of tiny wooded islands, their canoes aimed like arrows at the heart of the Iroquois nation.
In his infrequent rests from the paddle Duncan found himself gazing at the silent, determined men in breechcloths who accompanied them. When the others had met Duncan at the boundary tree above the waterfall, where he studied its freshly cut symbols, Van Grut had explained that Conawago had adamantly refused Brindle's... offer of Pennsylvania militia as an escort. The old Iroquois chiefs had a suggestion more to Conawago's liking. Johantty and the young Onondagas who had assaulted Duncan, only to later be transfixed by his piping, had intercepted them an hour later, leading them back onto the Forbes Road ahead of the convoy, where Felton waited with fresh horses. The bucks seemed to have aged somehow, grown more solemn, the rough ways displayed earlier replaced by a wary determination. Their elders had spoken with them, and now they were on a path of war against an unseen enemy.MoreLess
