The old men sought help from Wicasa Wakan (wee-cha-sha wah-kahn), Medicine Man.

Wicasa Wakan returned to his lodge and waited for Wakantanka (wah-kahn-tahn-kah), the Great Spirit, to reply.

His dark wings beat the air, and he brought a cloud that rained over the Hollow.

Of all the people in the Hollow, only a raven-haired maiden called Fawn was saved from the rising water.

She fled to the top of the highest hill and sang her grief and remorse to the Great Spirit.
