For The Native American Contest at #Contest-Cornucopia

Read the link provided in the title to describe the background for the contest. Both hubby and I have Native American blood as part of our heritage and Soaring Eagle is my Animal Guide.

The Story of Soaring Eagle and The Warrior Princess without the Text and the overlay of the Eagle. Also, it is from a differently-saved PSD file, so the two background pics are not identical.

Alternate Version:


The Background Story: Soaring Eagle, a long-time spirit guide, leads The Warrior Princess back to the path of enlightenment. She usually does not see him but she seemingly hears him and when dream-walking she can walk side by side with him in the ethereal world.
Here, she is surrounded by woodland friends and the wise owl as the spirit guide rises to the sky, his job now finished. It has taken her many moons for her to find the way back to her original purpose of this lifetime. She readies herself to shoot an arrow into the sky in reverence to her renewed faith in The One. So Let it be Spoken; So Let it be Written; So Let it be Done.
