Chapter 11

Lily was eager to help with the wedding preparations. An elderly lady she hadn’t met yet asked for her help and she was so excited that it didn’t occur to her to ask what the help was. She followed her around a corner and saw several chickens pecking the ground beside a log. The woman pointed at the stool and told her to sit. She did as she was told. Then the lady handed her a basket. She wasn’t sure what in the world the woman wanted her to do until the woman handed her something covered in feathers.

“Oh my!” Lily squealed. “It’s a dead chicken!”

And she dropped it on the ground. The old woman huffed at her.

“Pluck” she demanded.

Lily had never plucked a chicken in her entire life but she was sure she wouldn’t enjoy doing it. The woman stood over her, hands on her hips.

“Ok ok, I’ll do it” Lily muttered, regretting her offer to help.

She sat and plucked the chicken and gagged until it was completely bare. She sighed in relief when she was finally done. Then the old woman dropped another in her lap. It appeared that Lily was now on chicken duty. A task she would gladly trade for just about anything else.

After about 9 chickens she was finally released to go find a new job. She found Tiger Claw’s wife in a tent wrapping flowers. She was afraid to interrupt, but didn’t want to miss out on this rare opportunity to interact with her either.

That’s it.” She said to herself. “Now or never.”

She walked straight into the tent.

“Good afternoon, Sage.” Lily started.

The older woman looked up at her, startled, then went back to what she had been doing.

“Can I help you?” Lily asked.

Again, the older woman looked up at her. This time she smiled.

“Yes, of course. Thank you.” She replied.

Lily was surprised by the sadness in her voice. It was obvious that Sage wasn’t looking for a conversation, so Lily sat quietly with her and they worked side by side. After about an hour of wrapping flowers, they were done. There were flowers everywhere. The tent looked like a floral shop back in Boston.

“Where do we need to take these?” Lily asked.

Sage gestured for her to follow. Lily picked up one of the barrels she had been filling and ran to catch up. They placed the barrels out by the fire where there were tables set up and the 6 younger daughter of Tiger Claw all joined them in decorating the entire village. The marriage of the Chief’s daughter was a big deal. Peter had told her that the entire village had been nervous about who Tiger Claw would choose to be their future leader. And no one was disappointed, especially not Azalea. Black Eagle was handsome, strong and brave. Everything she could want in her future husband.

Once the village was properly decorated, Sage quietly urged her daughters to go clean themselves up. They were running low on time before the ceremony. Sage turned to follow them, but Lily stopped her.
