He is Sparrow Hawk, son of Proud Hawk, son of the great Chieftan Screaming Eagle. It was he who climbed to the eagle's nest with only ten summers and stole her feather and looked upon her chicks in the nest and returned to tell the tale. It is he who slew a horse warrior of the Mad Bear clan with his knife before his 12th summer. It is Sparrow Hawk who took three wives before his 18th summer. He has slain stag and bear and orc and the grass-eating men of the western lands. Sparrow Hawk does not eat grass. Sparrow Hawk eats meat. Sparrow Hawk does not drink beer like grass-eaters. He does not drink water like cattle. Sparrow Hawk does not drink milk like a child! Sparrow Hawk, son of Proud Hawk drinks blood! Like a man! Sparrow Hawk has no use for the shiny metal discs that the grass-eaters worship and which makes them insane. Sparrow Hawk wants meat and blood and steal and hides! These are the spoils of real men.
It is the fault of the tall pale ones, with their ears like knives and cowardly metal coats that shine in the sun. It is they who used foul witchcraft to lay him low. It is they who were jealous of his right to plunder. It is they who stole his horse. Sparrow Hawk wants his horse. The one they call War-Den said if the team wins the horse will be returned. So Sparrow Hawk will win this foolish statue for War-Den and reclaim what is his.
