Description He is a simple native boy who has a fascination for owls, the avian hunters of the night.
But these creatures would only come out at night, he tried disguising himself as one of them but still to no avail, they would only fly about and scurry on their way.

One day he heard a story from the village elder that there was once a tree that is said to have been blessed with magic, for this tree has survived forest fires, drought and storms unscathed and has the power to make you a God, so they say. And so the boy went to find this tree, he scoured the forest high and low looking for it.

8 years passed, the boy grew into a fine young man with his fascination for the nightly birds of prey still burning in his heart, and his quest for the sacred tree seems unfulfilled, until one afternoon upon which he saw a simple tree which stood on a clearing, it was not very tall, it wasn't big, but provided enough shade for the man to rest.

Tired and hungry, he thought to rest under the cooling breeze of the tree, and without knowing, fell asleep.
As he sleeps, he dreams of the owls, but they are all focuses on him, their wide gaze looking on him, nodding their heads as if bowing. Then he notices he is holding  a talisman mad of wood, with a unique face carved in it. He has no idea what it is, but suddenly the talisman begins to glow, it's hollow eyes filled with green light and gave a bright flash.

The man awakens from the dream, sweat covered his body under the light of the moon as he ponders on the dream. As silence fills the night, he hears a crack from behind. His eyes widened as a piece tree's sturdy bark cracks and falls infront of him. And it was here that he came to the meaning of his dream, his quest was over.

He fashioned the bark to the face he saw in the dream, and at night went to the forest wearing his disguise, and the dream he had under that tree, came to fruition. The elder's story was true, that the tree had the power to make you a God, to the owl's the boy who grew as a man, now became a God to them. Kuwago the Great Horned One.
