Steel Bird’s Laying

Everything you can imagine is real.
– Pablo Picasso

None of the youth saw it with their own eyes, but old people said that an egg appeared during the Great War when white riders fought in the sky, mounted on their steel birds. The egg was laid by one such bird that flew over the lands where the tribe lived, and interpreters of this event considered it to be a good omen. Huge and heavy, the egg laid half bogged down in the soil, and the elders ordered the tribe to build a canopy over it in order to protect the egg from the threats of changeable weather, whether it was the usual heat or heavy continuous rain when the monsoon season came. Then – the tribal house was built around the egg, like a nest, where the steel chick for the tribe was supposed to hatch. Riding the bird, they could easily terrify all the neighbouring tribes and conquer them one by one.
