Osseo's son

Role: son of Osseo and Oweenee · First appears: Osseo; or, the Son of the Evening Star · Part 2

On the very first day, while the family was at the Evening Star, Osseo’s son shot a bird that proved to be his younger aunt, the younger aunt (Osseo legend). Her blood dissolved the charm. Osseo and Oweenee’s son sank through the clouds and landed on an island in a large lake, where Osseo, Oweenee, and the rest of the family descended; they resumed their natural shapes, diminished to the size of fairies.
