Preparations for Thanksgiving Day started in springtime with
planting of the garden and ending in gathering the fruits of the tended gardens
and the forest. Generations had passes since the first settlers arrived at Roanoke.
Thanksgiving Day was always a time filled with friends and family. The feast
was immense.
Some would call it a curse, but to the descendants of the
Pilgrims, it was a blessing. The shaman allowed the colonists the right to live
with the Croatan tribe as long as they did so as females. Male boys were
transformed as they reached puberty into fine young ladies. Lee remembers his boyhood
and the day he was taken to the shaman. He remembers the tingling all over his
body as he turned into a girl.
That was five years ago. Once the transformation was
complete, Lee was asked if he had a name he would like. He said Elizabeth. The
shaman smiled and said he’s be known as Elizabeth from that day forward. Those
were fond memories for Elizabeth. She remembers wanting to be old enough to be a
girl. Now she is excited again as she can’t wait to tell everyone of her
engagement to a brave warrior: Stands Tall. She will spread the good news at
thanksgiving dinner. They make such a cute couple.
