Legacyversery Interlude

Every Native American tribe has their own Creation story that they tell their descendants onhow the world was made. The Lenmanans arent much different. I looked up some Native

American creation stories and used them as a base while putting in my own twists and turns. Theidea of this for a Legacyversery chapter came to me from fellow simmers. Thank you everyone!


2/82

Aiyana had called forth her family members to a park near their houses that were being redone.The park had everything they needed: a forest, a wide open space, a pond and there was a grillaround there too of course with outhouses nearby. It was summer in between school years and

she wanted to have this before Jacy and Adoette headed off to school. The older children werecalled home from university just to be here.


3/82

Aiyana looked proudly at what she had succeeded since she first was given her mission. Awonderful and maybe a bit odd husband, two wonderful children and nine grandchildren and shecould still see in each one of their faces that they would carry on the native traditions they have

grown up in. The Azure clan and the Hunicke clan of the Lenmana natives.


4/82

Grandma? Adoette asked Aiyana.

What is it Adoette?

I know we are all much older right now I mean Jacy and I are heading off to college. Koko andSika are Juniors, Rozie , Sinopa, and Crow are going to be sophomores. But can you tell us moreLenmana legends? Like how we started and how certain powers are given to certain Natives?

Adoette asked curiously always wanting to learn more about her culture.

Well lets see what everyone else thinks?

Who wants to hear some more Lenmana Legends?


5/82

The others agreed as they sat around Aiyana. Aiyana pulled out a lounge chair and set it up soher Elder body wouldnt have to sit on the ground. Its not that Aiyana DIDNT want to because

she would have loved anything to be one with nature but her aging body figured it would bebetter to sit.


6/82

Lenmana Island has been around for as long as the world has been turning but how was it startedyou wonder? Listen closely and you will find out the Legend of the Island. Aiyana started herstory.

The air around Aiyana seemed to swirl as colors mixed together as if pieces in a puzzle strewnabout before the puzzle was to be started.


7/82

It didnt take long for the pieces to put themselves back together as the story started with ayoung Lenmanian woman lying in the middle of a barren land. She was wearing white.

The Island started when mother nature also known as Makawee decided to bring life to thebarren land before her, she set down her firstborn daughter Onatah and gave her a form known

as sim. Onatah was already fully grown in an adult form. Mother nature woke her up from herdeep slumber .

My daughter, I brought you to this Island because I need help with creating life on this barren

cratered land. I cannot do this all alone.


8/82

Of course mother, I was hoping you would ask for I have many ideas of what we can do. Onatahreplied in agreement.

So Onatah helped mother nature add some life to her barren land. She created plants and animalsthe plants of which would bear fruit so Onatah can live on this land. Onatah spent time plantingand keeping everything well but she needed something more although mother nature helped with

the plants she had no one to share it with.

Mother, Im feeling lonely I have no one to share the fruit of the land or help me with othertasks. I believe this land needs more like me. Can you create another for me that I can share my

life with.


9/82

That was when mother nature decided that a female couldnt create more on her own. So shewent on to create a male for Onatah called Kitchi.

Kitchi, you are another creation of mine. Mother Nature told the male . You and my daughterOnatah will be companions and help create more like yourself to fill my land with even more life.

You are a protector, you will help Onatah as well as protect her and her descendants.

I understand mother, she helps create life and I must protect her. Kitchi replied.


10/82

Kitchi went over to his companion and introduced himself.

My name is Kitchi and I have come here to be your companion and protect you and yourdescendants

Onatah accepted Kitchi and not to long later she found herself with child. The first child shebore was a daughter.

Mother you have given me a daughter. I shall call her Tadewi. My child will control the air andthe wind for all to breathe.


11/82

It wasnt long before Onatah and Kitchis first daughter was followed by twin daughters. Ama andAtsila.

I have borne two more daughters with the help of mother nature and Kitchi, Ama will createwater to help my plants grow as well as rain which will help each of the creatures Living on thisland. But she also brings coldness to the land. Her twin sister Atsila will control warmth and fire

to help with her sisters cold and rain.


12/82

Aiyanas story was interrupted by her grandkids all speaking at once.

They are the four elements created on the land arent they grandma; Onatah and mother naturestand for earth, Tadewi is air, Ama is water and Atsila is fire. The four elements that occur

everywhere on the land. Dyami said understanding.

Yeah but dont forget about Metal too there are five elements Rozene said.

Well isnt metal part of earth wouldnt that be Makawee and Onatah? Sinopa replied.

Wait what about Kitchi hes the protector, wouldnt that make him metal? Since metal is used inweapons? Ohanko added.


13/82

Well spirit is also an element to I think thats more of Mother Nature/Makawee. I think Onatahmight just be earth. Siksika replied.

Well I can control fire just like Atsila. So what does that make me? Jacy asked curiously, she hadbeen pretty quiet listening to the legend her grandmother was telling them since she had always

loved the stories, they all have.

I think youre just special Jay Crowfoot joked lightly tapping his younger sister.


14/82

I apologize for the interruptions of my kin grandmother.Would you please continue? Koko said half

annoyed, half amused by her family members discussion.

Aiyana actually didnt mind her grandchildren attempting to understand the legend. It made her feelwonderful that she has such strong Lenmana blood showing up in her descendants. She took a deep

breathe as the breeze passed through the park. She was proud of herself for having such amazing kids asdescendants. She loved How they acted as if they were children listening to the stories Aiyana had always

told but the difference this time was they were growing up and were now teenagers and young adults.

Aiyana continued.


15/82

After three daughters they were soon followed by three sons: Cheveyo was the first son and wastold that he would be a warrior alongside his father, their second son was Nayavu who had a verycreative personality and he soon decided to build a shelter for his family to protect them betterfrom the weather that resulted from his elder sisters control of the elements. The youngest one

was called Takoda who spent most of his time helping anyone who needed it.


16/82

As the children grew mother nature helped create spouses for each of them. When they hit theadult stage of their lives they chose to continue Makawees line. Each child had a spouse and

started to bear their own children. The first two children were born to Ama and Atsila.

Ama bore a daughter whos birth was followed by the sky turning from grey to dark and a palewhite circle appeared in the sky. Mimiteh the child was named and she was a happy child who

stayed wide awake up until it was Atsilas time to bear a child.


17/82

Atsila gave birth to a son whom was named Paitalyi. Following his birth the sky brightened from

the darkness of his cousins birth as a brighter circle appeared in the sky. Paitalyi had stayedawake for a while until his cousin started to wake up. The transition of the two cousins resulted

in the sky changing colors of bright and pastel pinks, oranges and purples that painted the sky.When Paitalyi finally fell asleep, Mimiteh had awoken and her pale circle returned to the nowdarkened sky. As time went on the cousins continues to wake up and sleep at their designated

times only seeing each other in the transition phase where the bright and pastel colors appeared inthe sky.


18/82

Once they got older Mimiteh and Paitalyi decided to name their awake times and the transitions.

Mimiteh called her time night and her circle moon. She was the daughter of water and themoon would control how her mothers water creations acted. Paitalyi called his time day and his

circle sun. He was the son of fire of which had a part in the appearance of the sun. The sunwould control the heat of the land.

The transition phases were also named both had two names depending on what they felt likecalling it at its occurence: Moonset / Sunrise and Sunset / Moonrise


19/82

Days and nights passed as more children made themselves known with in the land, even theanimals started to reproduce as quickly. Certain animals were given the choice by Mimiteh and

Paitalyi to be more active at night or during the day and both cousins gave the animals gifts havingto do with the times.


20/82

Meanwhile the wives of Onatahs three sons had an idea. They could create their own clan, theybelieved that there had to be something they could do. They were of different blood than that ofOnatah and Makawee. A talk with the two and then it was decided that it would be best to starta new clan with the wives. The wives were of new blood different from that of which had passedthrough Onatah. They brought their husbands and children then created a new clan but they still

have their ties to the main line of Mother Nature.


21/82

The idea was accepted so there would be no intermarrying within the clan. If it ever came to be.So the wives gathered their husbands and children to create a new clan.


22/82


23/82

That was when Onatahs twin brother Otaktay made himself known as he made his way to where

his mother sat and observed her creations thrive. Otaktay had been impressed with what hismother and sister were doing with the once barren land that was now full of life. He started to

notice the flaws in the plans.

Mother I appreciate what you and my sister have done with this land. But what about overpopulation? If this rate continues the land will be overfull. Shouldnt we do something about this?

Otaktay asked.

Makawee looked at her son and told him that there was nothing to worry about.


24/82

Otaktay decided to confront his sister about the land. The male voiced his concerns to her.

My dear brother Onatah sighed as she looked at him. I agree that there should be some way tocontrol life like that. Even if it means losing myself on this land I know I will return to the earth

from whence I came.


25/82

With that in mind Otaktay went on with his project to create a world of which spirits will choseto settle for a while or start a new story or experience in another life. Of course not all spiritswould stay very few usually would if his plan was going to work. The souls would be reused to

make it easier on his mother although she could still create more if she chose to.

He called these places Wanagi Taraku and Wanagi Yata


26/82

First the soul would pass through the Wanagi Taraku, or the spirit path. This path would dependon the one who uses it. It would change for everyone. The path would show the spirit their lives,starting from birth, to death and everything in-between. The path is used to reflect on the life

that they lead every single decision every move they made, everything would be recorded for themto relive their former life one last time.


27/82


28/82

Otaktays creations of these places also had another result it brought old age, death, disease, pain

and much more to the land. He eventually created a room of which held hourglasses of everysingle living thing on the land. Some didnt have a lot of sand some had a lot each souls time was

determined randomly by Otaktay himself. The room was only his and only he could enter it, ifanother entered chaos would ensue and Otaktays balance of life and death would be tipped forthe worse. Once another other than Otaktay himself made their way they would have full control

of life and death. He did everything to make sure that this wouldnt happen.


29/82

As time went on the people of the land started to die. Otaktay brought many ways for one life toend to the land some died of old age some died of disease, some died in protecting another. But

most died of old age. All passing through the Wanagi Taraku and Wanagi Yata.


30/82

Although some deaths were much different than others:

When Onatahs time came she passed through the earth and returned to the place whereMakawee and Otaktay had begun.


31/82

Onatahs three daughters also had different deaths:

Tadewi turned into dust and became the spirit of the wind that surrounded the land as well asthe rest of the world.

Ama fell carefully in the water as her body dissolved and became the spirit of the water, thateveryone would need since all water was connected.

Atsila turned to Ash that her sisters wind spirit picked up and scattered across the lands soanyone who needed fire would call on her spirit of the fire.


32/82

And then there was time for Mimiteh and Paitalyi to pass on.

Mimiteh died before her cousin during the sunrise transition phase as the land brightened withPaitalyi awakening to control the day as he was saddened to know his cousin was gone. But

Paitalyis time was coming as he died during the moonrise transition phase where his last glimpsewas of Mimiteh as she appeared to him in the moon, she had became the moons spirit. Paitalyi

smiled one last time before he passed on.

When sunrise came again as the moon set Mimiteh welcomed her cousin before she settled forhim to bring on the day. Paitalyi became the suns spirit.


33/82

Aiyana ended the creation story of the Lenmanans as she looked at her almost fully growngrandchildren who had been listening intently. Although they had heard this story before it justseemed to catch their attention even more now then when they were much younger. The kidswere embracing their culture even more now that they were older. As children they were just

bedtime stories.


34/82

Grandma Ohanko started breaking the silence.

Ohanko? Aiyana questioned her grandson.

If females are the ones to give life and males the ones to take it away why did I end up withregeneration powers? Shouldnt I have like degeneration powers or something instead? The teen

questioned in his own cocky way.

Actually Im also wondering why we all ended up with special abilities when we did. I mean yesthey did help in defeating Suni but why us? Why not Mom or uncle Powhatan? Siksika added to

her cousins question.


35/82

Ohanko, special abilities arent connected to gender of an individual they are only connected tothe soul itself. There are many male and female individuals who have possessed powers like your

own. A long time ago they were known as Shamans, medicine men and medicine women, you couldhave very well been one of them, or something like them in a past life. Aiyana smiled and

explained to him.

Thats pretty cool! Ohanko replied.


36/82

Siksika, do you remember all the stories of the twins: Niehisa and Ketchakaila? How they always

went on little adventures to discover our world? Aiyana then turned to her granddaughter.

Yeah there are a lot of short stories about them: Magic Waters, Mountain of Dreams, TheTerror Toad; all of them always had a lesson or some moral to teach us. Sika replied.

Like that story about the turtle coming out of his shell, you told me when I was nervous aboutgoing to that school dance. Adoette added.


37/82


38/82

Aiyana sat back remembering the story. The stories she learned before her mother saved her, andthe wolves had told her stories as well about Lenmana and its people. Aiyana was told that shealways asked the wolves to tell her the stories of the twins. There were a lot of legends about

them more so than any other hero in any of Lenmanan legends. These had always been herfavorite ones that she usually was happy to tell to her children and grandchildren.

*Niehisa (nye-ee-hai-sah)

*Ketchakaila (ketch-uh-kye-ee-lah)


39/82

Two young Lenmanan girls wondered from their village into a nearby field to play with some oftheir friends. The girls were twin sisters both with hair the color of bark and eyes the color of the

sky. The children ran free in their deerskin clothing played a childhood game that includedrunning and hiding. The field was wide and gave them a lot more room than the village did to play

their favorite game. The parents watched the children as they played.


40/82

Ketchakaila One of the little girls piped up.What is it Niehisa? Her twin sister replied.

Did you ever wonder what it would be like if we had magic powers and could go on adventureslike all those heroes in the stories the elders tell us? the first girl asked.

Yes, I guess The second one thought it over. But we are just children, what adventures couldwe go on?


41/82

Niehisa thought it over what adventures could they go on? They could go anywhere andeverywhere as long as they were back before suppertime. There was the field the forests the

creek the dirt road that passed by the village. And there was also the village of course. Niehisafelt a thought go on in her head. She grabbed her twin sister and ran back to the village.

What are we doing? Ketchakaila questioned.

Stopping at grandmothers hut. her sister answered.


42/82

Ketchakaila released herself from her energetic sisters grip as she ran alongside her. They wentacross the field and back to the village only as fast as any other energetic children. It wasnt long

before they hit their grandmothers hut where she was sitting by the fire.

What brings you here little ones She asked her granddaughters.


43/82

We want to go on an adventure like the heroes in your stories grandmother Ketchakaila said asNiehisa crossed her arms and nodded.

Well if you two are going on an adventure you will need some supplies Grandmother nodded atthe little girls as their blue eyes looked at her with excitement.

Grandmother was familiar with young childrens sense of adventure as a child once beforegrandmother would go out with her older brothers and explore around the village.


44/82

Well first things first you will need some supplies Grandmother told her young granddaughters.

Grandmother helped Niehisa and Ketchakaila pack some supplies in small knapsacks. Some deerjerky for a snack, and a few other minor things. It wouldn't be too long of an adventure,

grandmother liked to think. How far could two little girls go?

Wouldnt you like to know grandmother.


45/82

The girls went on foot past their small Lenmanan Village and followed the river that wasnorthwest of the village. If anything they could always follow it back and get home before supper.

They watched as the trees passed them by.


46/82


47/82

Ketchakaila stood on the spot thinking it over while Niehisa was itching to explore the threecircle. Ketchakaila looked over at her sister then jogged toward the tree circle. Niehisa laughed

as she followed her sister.


48/82


49/82

There was grass but the rocks seemed to have been made out of Crystal. The odd looking sky wasdark against the field was hard to make out exactly where they were, they had gone through

something but what was it and how would they get back?


50/82

Where are we sister? Ketchakaila askedI dont know sister its not the village or the river Niehisa replied.

I have never seen this place before The girls said in unison as they gazed out at the crystals .

They werent sure how they had stumbled upon the strange place .


51/82

The twins explored the area a bit longer, it was definitely a field. At least the grass looked like itbut where were the flowers? And the trees and the bushes. These strange crystal rocks they hadnever really seen before. Grandmother mentioned crystals but also that she had never seen one

before. But here they were surrounded by crystals. Niehisa and Ketchakaila could feel a strangesensation within their small bodies. It was quite mythical place.


52/82


53/82


54/82


55/82

Ketchakaila look someone is frozen. Maybe we can help her! Niehisa called out as she noticedthe frozen female figure within the room beyond the next gate.

The girls ran toward the figure and examined her. The girls felt that they knew her but fromwhere who was she and how were they going to help her?


56/82


57/82

Well then we just have to touch the low ones. Maybe we can try to touch them all at once.Do you think that will work? Niehisa questioned.

We never know until we try Ketchakaila smiled.

The girls figured out what they were going to do. To touch them all at once Niehisa would needtwo at the same time and Ketchakaila would also need two. They decided on the ones nearest towhere they were standing at the time. The twin girls each lied down on the ground between two

of the sculptures and touched one with their moccasins and the other with their hands.


58/82

As the girls touched the sculptures, the room started to shake. The scared girls sat up andwatched with awe as a spectrum of colors started to swirl and dance around the woman.

They sat with transfixed eyes on the cascade of colors before them, as the colors danced andswirled.


59/82

The walls fell away from the female figure as her movement returned to her. She examined herhands and the rest of her body. She was bathed in many different colors as the girls sitting belowcould feel a strong power coming from her. The female fixed her clothing. She was quiet as if she

didnt notice anything other than the fact that she had been freed. But by whom?


60/82

While the older female had examined her newly freed body Niehisa and Ketchakaila finally gainedself movement in their own body. They didnt know what they just did. Did they save her or

werent they supposed to.

Excuse me The girls said together as they looked up at the female.


61/82


62/82

We arent sure one second we were exploring the river and the next we found ourselves fall

through something in the forest. Niehisa replied energetically.

We were wondering if you could tell us where we are Ketchakaila added.

Well this is called the Field of Crystals, It is rare for any warrior to have found it.

But we arent warriors we are just children. Ketchakaila replied, Niehisa nodded in agreement.


63/82


64/82


65/82

We cant be magic or else we would have noticed by now. Niehisa blurted out.

You must have some form of magic or else you wouldnt have found yourselves here and freedme. the female replied with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Well our tribe is said to have some form of magic. But not everyone in the tribe has magic.Ketchakaila mentioned.


66/82

What tribe are you from child? The female turned to Ketchakaila.The Lenmana or Lenmanans Ketchakaila replied.

I thank you young Lenmanans from freeing me from my prison.

You are welcome! The girls replied.


67/82

The female gazed across the crystal field feeling the children behind her, she touched one of the

crystals with her hand before speaking again.

These crystals that reside in my field hold the magic of every single age that has come to pass.Many warriors and heroes have tried to find it but end up failing thats why there arent any

stories of those who have made it. The portal to the Field of Crystals is what decides if a personor creatures magic energy is at the right level and they are pure the portal would open for them.

If they dont have both of those traits they will not find it.


68/82


69/82

My name is Selene, I am an elemental. the female finally introduced herself. My skin representswater, my clothing represents the earth, my hair represents fire, my eyes represent spirit Selene

explained but before she could say the next thing wings sprouted from the elementals backrevealing to be white . These wings as well as the white markings on my body represent air. She

finished up before leading the girls back inside where she had been imprisoned.


70/82

As they reached the brightened room Selene spoke once again.You two were the first to free me from my prison. I have had only one other visitor hundreds of

years ago and he couldnt figure out the magic of the sculptures like you had. And for that I havea gift for you daughters of Lenmana.

Selene pointed them to where she had been found. The girls followed the elementals instructionsand soon found themselves facing each other.


71/82

The swirls of colors started up again as they surrounded the two girls. Niehisa and Ketchakailacould feel some power fill their tiny bodies. The power was strong the girls fought it. It didnt

hurt but it felt like more was occurring than they could handle.


72/82

The twins remembered the colors surrounding them as they felt themselves be lifted andempowered with the gift they were given to free the elemental. That was all the two of them

remembered. The next thing they knew they were waking up in their own little beds. Inside thehut in which they had lived.

What had happened they wondered? Was the whole adventure really a dream? Or did it happen forreal? If it did happen for real how did they get back home. The girls didnt feel any different, they

looked the same as they always had.


73/82


74/82

Sunset fell as the park became dark the Azures decided to start up the bonfire that they hadbeen so excited about. Jacy-Nova took the honors. A few sparks later and the Family was ready

to enjoy the rest of the summer before they had to head back to school.


75/82

Its been two years since The Last Native was first published onto Boolprop. That was the startof Forever Flowing the Azure Legacy. I was looking back at some of my first chapters before Istarted putting in plot and am amazed at how far I have come with this Legacy. My storytelling

and characterization has changed for the better these two years and I see more room forimprovement in the future. I cant wait to get started on generation four because I do have many

plans for the future of this legacy.


76/82

Each of the names mentioned in the stories Aiyana had told each have a meaning to differentNative American tribes.

Makawee Sioux = mothering, earth maiden

Onatah Iroquois = daughter of the earth / corn spirit

Otaktay Sioux = he kills many

Kitchi Algonquin = brave


77/82

Tadewi Omaha = wind woman

Ama Cherokee = water

Atsila Cherokee = fire

Cheveyo Hopi = spirit warrior

Nayavu Hopi = clay

Takoda Sioux = friend to many


78/82


79/82

First of all

Now my sister and I used to be apart of a group called Camp Fire Girls which had some NativeAmerican influences. We would learn and do a lot of different things and receive badges and

beads for our accomplishments: Sports and games, outdoors and environment, creativity,business and home, citizenship as well as many others for different projects we would work onand do. Not every girl had the same exact beads and badges we got to pick and chose what we

wanted to do.


80/82

At 13 years of age we would make our own Native American gowns and receive our names withour age groups. The names came from a book my mom had many years ago, all the girls in my group

had names. The next time we went to the camp we would go to the group would perform abonfire/welcome dance and sing songs around the bonfire. We actually wore the gowns andperformed a Native American Ceremony. The dance was honestly a bit of a challenge to get

down, we had practiced the dance and the ceremony for weeks before the Trip in Septemberwelcoming the new year.


81/82


82/82

There are a lot of people I can thank for helping me out. I have made lots of friends creating

sims stories and I hope every reader who takes their time to read my legacy and comment enjoyseverything I have put into it.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Happy 2nd Legacyversery to my Azures (and Hunickes), and I see many Legacyverseries in the

Documents
