Running Fox

At sixteen winters, Running Fox, the son of the celebrated Delaware war‑chief Black Panther, feels the weight of his lineage and a burning need to earn his own name among the warriors. When his father tells him of Standing Wolf, a feared Mohawk leader shrouded in mystery and seemingly protected by a powerful charm, the young hunter sees his chance to achieve a deed worthy of legend. Determined to uncover the secret that lets Standing Wolf survive countless attacks, Running Fox vows to venture into enemy lands and return with the truth.

In preparation he seeks counsel from Sky Dog, the village’s venerable medicine man, whose quiet fire and sharp tongue test the boy’s resolve. Their terse conversation reveals the peril of the mission: any misstep could mean death, and the Mohawk war‑band is as relentless as the wolves they honor. Armed with counsel and a fierce will, Running Fox steps onto the trail that will shape his destiny and the future of his people.
