Chapter 11 Summary
When the two reach Maggie’s trailer, Maggie recognizes a face in her window. To her disappointment, it is not Neizghání. She has Kai wait in the car, telling him to come inside if she is not back out in 15 minutes. Maggie does not want to spend too much time with her visitor, Ma’ii, also known as Coyote. Then Maggie leaps into the trailer.
Chapter 12 Summary
Maggie remembers how she first met Coyote—when she was 14, before the Big Water, he came to her in a dream. Wearing an elaborate suit, Coyote told horror stories to young Maggie, whom he calls Magdalena, before announcing that they were friends. Coyote also warned Maggie to prepare for coming monsters. Back in her trailer, Maggie greets her dangerous friend. He asks Maggie about the handsome man in her truck before teasing her about Neizghání, which only angers her. When Maggie demands to know why Coyote is visiting her, he says he wants her help retrieving something. He also gives her a gift of naayéé’ ats’os (directional hoops), saying that Maggie must fetch him the breath of Níłch’i, the wind who gave life to humanity.
