The red feathers

A sequence of mythic adventure episodes set in a young, spirit-filled world follows Run-all-day, a swift hunter whose discovery of two red feathers triggers quests, rivalries, and encounters with magicians, giants, and animal-spirits. Interwoven episodic chapters track other figures—Bright Robe, the Little Brown Owl, Jumping Wolf—through trials of theft, ambush, and rescue, including a perilous search for the feathers, the theft and recovery, a magical confrontation with giants and the awakening of magicians, and an invasion that leads to a rescue of Star Flower and a negotiated peace. Themes of courage, cunning, and the interplay of human and supernatural shape the tale.
