"Let us now pray to th
e Creator that he blesses our marriage and that he can right this wrong."
Aiden took her hand, as she guided him to the front room. They both got on their knees and began to pray. After a short while they stood up. She smiled at him, "I love you, my husband. To pray with me means so much to me. The Creator has smiled upon us and everything will work out. I know it."
He took her face in his hands and his thumb rubbed her cheek. His eyes devoured her, "I never prayed with anyone else before. I felt the blessing too."
"Aiden, I have seen something."
"What?"
"There will be a great war Aiden, you cannot stop it nor can I. The yellow hair will lead it on the white side, Sitting Bull will lead on the Indian side. It will not go well."
Aiden stared, "You've seen this."
"Yes."
"Colonel Gibbon?" he asked.
"No, he will live. It has to do with Custer, something is very wrong… "
"When?"
"I do not know, but it gathers now."
Aiden nodded. "I've tried to warn Marsh, but he will not listen."
"This great battle that comes will be remembered. It will be a moment of glory for the Indians and a moment of death for the whites. Other leaders will gather for this battle, but it will mark the beginning and the end for the Indians, even though they will be the victors."
"Why, other than revenge will this happen?"
"Because, the white's found gold, and they want the land that they gave to The Great Sioux Reservation back and will eventually take it. They will war with my people and my people will lose. The whites will take the land the miners are infiltrating the Black Hills now. Washington is not stopping this, and for two years this war will be fought, and the whites will win. A group of leaders under Red Cloud have gone to Washington to try to stop this war. It will do no good. The white army cannot stop the settlers and at some point, do not try."
"My God, you saw all of this."
"Yes, your treason will be forgotten as the wars are fought."
"And the white settlers that have no part in all of this, will they be killed?"
"No, death will come to Custer, there is no doubt of it, and his men will suffer from his need of glory, and fame. He will succeed with the fame. His name along with Sitting Bull will go down in history. But it will take time for the truth of these battles to come out."
Aiden shook his head. "Does it trouble you sweetheart to see so much?"
"Yes, but I know I cannot change it. As your bible says, "Be still."
Aiden nodded.
"Let's go home, sweetheart, we have a lot of living to do."
"And we will face everything together."
"Can you see our future?" he asked as he stopped in the doorway.
"We will have a long and good life together my love. And we will enter the gates of heaven together too."
"I love you Lucy…"
"I know, you have proved it many times and many ways. Our love is strong, God blesses us."
