The Go-la

The Go-la (The Winter): The Winter is a tall, faceless, pale white man. He is usually seen wearing a pitch black business suit with a black tie, sometimes with a scarf. In the early 1800's, he was discovered by the Cherokee and Seminole Native Americans, and was seen as an omnipotent being;  a god. The natives offered their dead tribe members to the Winter so that he would continue to protect the people. If the tribe didn't have any dead to offer him, he would kill one of the alive tribe members. He would first select a native, usually one that was cowering or afraid when he was present. He would then release four black tentacles that he had hidden away in his back, and grab the native with two of them. Once he had the native in his grasp, he would lift them up in front of the other natives and use his other two tentacles to disembowl them, holding their entrails with the tentacles as they disolve into the thick blackness of the apendages (this thought to have given the Winter energy). When he was finished, he would drop the body on the ground and then vanish into the trees, soon to return for another harvest. His victims range from the elderly, to the warriors, and even to the children.



The Winter got his name because of his nature, and the presence felt by the people around him when he is present. Those who have been around the Winter immediately felt a change in the weather around them; a sudden extreme chill.  Those who have felt the Winter's tentacles have verbally exclaimed about how extremely cold his tentacles felt on their skin.



The natives had built a shrine for the Winter in the early 1800's named Ugedaliyv Uyohusv, or the Valley of the Dead in English. The shrine consisted of many thin trees; this is where the dead were tied to in order for the Winter to take them. During the Second Seminole War, the Valley of the Dead was destroyed, and the Dunlawton Sugar Mill was constructed over it. This angered the Winter. From that point on, the Winter stalked and killed members of the Morris and Tulner families, because they were the leaders of the militias that destroyed the shrine, killed the natives, and built the sugar mill. He would take one child from every generation to take under his wing and torment the rest of their family.



It has been prophecised that there would be one son from the Morris family and one son from the Tulner family that would be impervious to the Winter's powers, but only if they are together. Seperated, they are vulnerable.



The Winter represents the values of sacrifice, fear, and death.

The Gi-la-go-ge

The Gi-la-go-ge (The Spring) – The Spring is usually seen as a young girl. She possesses no single form, meaning that her facial features, voice, proportions, and behavior change. In the early 1800’s, she was discovered by the Native Americans that inhabited the modern-day Dunlawton area in a heavily wooded area. She was holding a dead butterfly in her hand when a group of Seminole hunters found her while hunting for deer. She wore a brown cowhide torso that covered her body down to below her knees, and she had dark brown hair. She also had what looked like to be flowers printed onto her hands with the stems going up her arms from her wrists. When one of the hunters asked her what she was doing, she simply replied “Giving him a second chance”. At that moment, she blew air (which sparkled and was light-cyan-colored) from her mouth onto the dead butterfly. Within seconds, the butterfly got back on its feet and flew away. The hunters were awestruck.

           

           The Spring is known to possess the power of revival, reanimation, instant healing, the ability to choose who sees her, and an extreme sense of empathy, being able to sense the physical, mental, and emotional pain of others around her. Although she can reanimate and revive many insects, animals, and plants, she cannot revive human beings. She can only heal wounds of human beings.

            

            She got her name because all of her attributes symbolized the season of spring: her youth, her ability to rejuvenate the living things around her and make them fresh and like-new, and her general friendliness. Around her, the Natives felt happy and refreshed, like they did when the spring came and everything in nature was revived and fresh.            

           The reasons why she sometimes chooses who sees her are unknown, but it is suspected that she only uses that ability when she needs to lead someone or something to a place or to something they are looking for/need to see. When she uses that ability, the people who can see her usually hear her echoing voice, which is usually her laughter. The people she chooses to see her are also the only ones that can hear her. She also represents the values of charity, youth, kindness, and innocence.

A Simple Start

Hello everyone, my name is Pyrce Reinbold. I'm a Central-Floridian historian, only I'm not like the other historians.

I'm an Unteller, one who tells the untold stories of history. Some of you might have heard of a different kind of Unteller, but I am something completely different. There are so many events, people, places, and even entities that the world hardly knew, and have sadly forgotten. Some of which were never even discovered. In my years of being a historian, I have devoted a large amount of time in uncovering a Native American mystery: the Four Entities of Natural Life.

The Four Entities of Natural Life consist of the four seasons: summer, autumn, winter, and spring. They represent each season's memorable values and inevitable misfortunes in ways both visible and invisible, where all but the summer are physical entities. These entities were discovered by both the Cherokee and Seminole Native American tribes in the early 1800's and are thought to still roam the earth.

I'm using this blog as an archive for my research, where I will post summaries and synopses of my work.

One thing to keep in mind here: These are not myths.
