The Go-gi

The Go-gi (The Summer): The Summer is known to have no physical embodiment, but is known to live as an essence in the trees of the forests in a location of Florida that is now a community park. We will call him a "he" due to reasons I'll later explain.



The Summer was discovered by a Seminole tribesman who was in his teenage years. He had been searching for a tree that grew a leaf called U-ga-lo-gv A-hu-lu, or Sleeping Leaf, because he had been having trouble sleeping. During his search, he had come across a small collection of trees, one of which had Sleeping Leaves growing from them. He began to scale the tree, and when he got to the top, he picked one of the Sleeping Leaves from the tree, but as he started down the tree, he saw that a pack of wild wolves had formed around the tree, growling and barking. The boy was scared for his life as he was trapped, hugging the tree. He then heard a voice calling to him in his mind, telling him that he should not fear the wolves, but to face them and defeat them. The voice was a deep, echoing, yet calming male voice that seemed to emanate from nowhere, but that is when the boy realized that the voice had come from the trees, the symbol of life. Soon after, the boy jumped from the tree and began to fight the wolves with his bare hands, killing each one and escaping back to the village with the Leaf, telling his fellow tribespeople of his adventure.



To this day, it is unclear how the Summer got his name.



The Summer's known abilities are a very little amount. He is known to speak to human beings through telepathy, both individually and to multiple humans at once. When he does this, it is usually to tell the human something that will give them courage, whether it be in face of danger or in a situation where they need to be lightened of burdens. There has never been a time where the Summer's words have not saved the ones they are spoken to.


The Summer represents the values of courage and morale.

The U-la-go-hv-s-di

The U-la-go-hv-s-di (The Autumn): The Autumn is a moderately tall, man-like figure that is usually scene wearing a brown cloak over his body and head, brown leather gloves, and boots. He is known to have two faces, one on the front of his head and one on the back. They are known to spin around his head according to his feelings. He is known to only show two emotions with his faces; happiness and anger.



       The Autumn was discovered in the early 1800's by the Seminole Native American tribe in central Florida. At that time, the Seminole tribe had been recovering from a violent storm that had happened just days before. Many of the forest's trees had fallen and destroyed a number of their homes, and also blocked the flow of the river nearby. The trees had been too heavy for the tribe members to move, and they would be running too low on water by the time they would be finished. They had begun searching for neighboring tribes to help them when they met the Autumn on a dirt path not too far away from the rest of the Seminole tribe. The tribesmen asked the Autumn of where other tribesmen may be and told him their situation. Instead of telling them where they were, the Autumn offered to help them single-handedly. As they heard his offer, they laughed, but agreed. When they arrived back to the camp, the tribesmen directed the Autumn to the place where the trees fell. The Autumn reached out his hand in the direction of the trees, and the trees vanished, vanished into thin air. The tribespeople found it as a miracle.



       The Autumn got his name because of his ability to change things around him. Some say that he can alter reality itself by taking things out and putting things in. Since Autumn is the season of change, the name was most appropriate. The things that he takes out of reality are rumored to simply become non-existent instead of being transported somewhere. This also includes people and animals. He can also will them back into existence in the same way that he took them out.

     

       The Seminoles called upon the Autumn whenever they were in need of assistance with getting rid of things, just like the fallen trees. They also called upon him during a battle with a rival tribe, where he fought the rivals with his reality-altering abilities. The Autumn represents the values of change and thanksgiving of life.
