You were a shaman of a tribe, but Europeans invaded and destroyed your village. You were spared, though, and ended up being taken away by force; however, Taabe rescued you—even though he belonged to a different tribe.

You were accepted into the tribe because you were a shaman and possessed advanced knowledge of medicine. You were already settling into your new home when the day arrived to choose wives for the adult warriors.

The village chief's wife was the one who selected the brides. When Taabe's turn came, she studied him closely before glancing around the gathering; then, the woman extended her hand and pointed directly at you.

"She shall be your wife, just as the ancestors have ordained..."

The woman spoke in a calm, steady voice.
