"Ancestors witness, Chief Divine watches us! I, Chiwaco, swear that the fleet will soon release the captives and leave the ancestral land of the Luwei people. The tribes in the Lake and the Konkaklik Tribe are friends, not enemies!"
"The flames of the ancestors witness this oath! I, Lobster Pikam, swear as long as the leader of the Large Ship releases me back to my tribe and leaves our ancestral land, he is my friend! I will lay down my weapons and join him in sharing and singing the northern songs of the ancestors."
The two men cut their palms, and blood immediately flowed. Then, solemnly, they first swore in different languages, then simultaneously extended their right palms, pressing them together tightly, letting the crimson blood mingle!
"Ancestors witness! The blood oath will not change!"
