Tuscarora II: At the fires at the sixth longhouse

By Éeny Marsh and Peter Marsh

After a dull thunder of cannons rolls over the treetops in northern Carolina, directing people's eyes towards the Pungo River, where clouds of smoke rise over a village of the Mattamuskeet, it is no longer possible to prevent what has long since begun to become apparent and makes the North Carolina Algonquin on the side of the Tuscarora beat back with all its might. Tragically, even the van der Valks with their General Store are caught between the fronts.
Derk, who is now known almost exclusively as White Falcon, is now irrevocably at the side of his new friends, such as Blue Jays and Cedarists, but also at that of Still Water and Misty Moon, after the dramatic stroke of fate against his new family, for which the Tuscarora are not responsible.
The surveyor John Lawson, not only the founding father of Bath, who is not the first time to invade the land of the Tuscarora without permission, embarks on an expedition through their territories with the Swiss Christoph von Graffenried, which is not allowed by the Red Peoples. Their goal is to find a direct trade route, a passage to Virginia, through the land of the Tuscarora. In the process, they fall into the hands of the hostile warriors and are taken to Catechna to Chief Hancock.
At the same time, the clan mothers of the Tuscarora, as well as those of the four villages located in Chackauene Bay, gather in Catechna to decide on the future of their peoples. There, Cutting Reed recognizes John Lawson, her supposed, former and last living kidnapper.
Since the Red Peoples still want to avoid a conflict, they give the settlers a last ultimatum, which passes unused and thus leads to the final outbreak of the Tuscarora War. Shortly afterwards, many thousands of warriors are ready for a large-scale attack on Bath, the settlements and plantations on the Trent and Neuse, on the Roanoke and Alligator Rivers.
The war cry of Chief "Blooming Moss", which encircled Bath with many hundreds of warriors in the night of 21 to 22 September 1711, caused the storm to begin at dawn and a time of terror to break over the settlers.
