Question: Summary of Quillite legend in "Eclipse"!?
I have tried over and over to read that legend and it (not only bores me) but also is terrriibly confusing!.

Can anyone help me understand the rest of the book (like how Bella feels like the third wife!?) by giving me a simpler summary of the legend!?

Thanks!! Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm taking this directly from the Twilight Lexicon!.!.!.
It's an excellent summary of the story!.

"Billy tells the story of how the Quileutes came to be werewolves!. They were originally spirit warriors, able to leave their bodies to defend their tribe, but when the last great chief, Taha Aki, merged his spirit with that of a wolf after Utlapa, a traitorous warrior, stole his body, the werewolves were created!. They discovered that as long as a warrior chose to continue changing into his wolf form he would not age!.

As Billy’s tale ends, Old Quil begins the tale of the third wife’s sacrifice!. Taha Aki saw his third wife as his true mate and gave up his wolf form so that he could grow old with her!. After he had grown old, women in the neighboring Makah tribe began to disappear!. The Makahs suspected the Quileutes because of their magic, so Taha Aki charged his eldest wolf-son, Taha Wi, to find the culprit!. Taha Wi took five other wolves with him to search the mountains, but sent half the pack home when the trail they followed led them too far north!. Tahi Wi and his two brothers never returned!. Taha Aki went to the chief of the Makahs in mourning, and enmity between the tribes ceased!. A year later, the disappearances started again!. The wolves agreed to help the Makahs, and this time they found a male cold one feeding from a maiden!. Only one wolf survived the attack, Yaha Uta, the oldest son of Taha Aki’s third wife!. The cold one was hard as stone, fast, and deadly, and Yaha Uta lost his two brothers in the fight!. He brought the Cold One’s corpse back to the village for the elders to see!. The corpse tried to reassemble itself, so they set fire to it and separated the ashes into small bags, one of which Billy still possesses!. The Cold One’s mate came to the village seeking revenge and killed the last wolf protector, Yaha Uta, as well as many of the tribe!. Taha Aki turned into a wolf again in order to fight her, but he was old and she was too strong!. The third wife saw his struggle and stabbed herself in front of the Cold Woman to distract her with her blood!. The third wife died, but thanks to her sacrifice, Taha Aki was able to destroy the female!. Afterwards, Taha Aki stayed with the body of his wife for one day, as a wolf, then and then ran to the forest and never returned!. Over time, the warriors only changed into wolves if Cold Ones came to the area!. As long as there were only one or two, the pack stayed small!. "Www@QuestionHome@Com

ive read that book more than thirty times and still havent read that chapter!. i just always skip over it! LOL!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah that part made me stop reading the book!.!.!.!.couldn't get through it at all!. Eclipse was very slow and poor compared to the first 2!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Bella feels like the third wife becuase she cant do anything becuase shes not a vampire!. And its about how the wolves came to be!. I love Twilight lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

i finally managed to get through it, but i hardly paid attention!. sorry, i cant help u thereWww@QuestionHome@Com

haha i skipped that the first time i read it and then when i reread it the ending made more sense!.!.!.!.
okay well the third wife is basically a woman who died to save her husband!.!.!.!.she would do anything to keep him alive and healthy!.!.!.one day one of the Quillites gets cought by a vampire!.!.!.the wife finds him just in time to distract the vampire from almost killing him[[her blood smelled very good and sweeet]]!.!.!.!.she doesnt know what to do, all she knows is that she needs to keep her husband alive!.!.!.so she grabs the nearest sharp object she can and just jabs it into one of her main arteries, spewing blood everywhere and thus making the vampire unable to concentrate!.!.!.!.the vampire goes after the third wife and the man has just enough time to get out of sight!.!.!.!.!.she was willing to do anything, even die, to save him, as would bella to save edward!.!.!.also, bella only knows how to help by 'throwing away her life' or becoming a vampire and feels like their is nothing else she can do to help or compare to edward!.!.!.!.!.now im pretty sure thats how it goes but it isnt exact!.!.!.!.!.maybe if you see this and then go back and reread the legend [[or just skim it]]] it will make sense!.!.!.!.

EDIT::
in order from fav to least fav
Eclipse- edward and jacob were in it the same amount and it made me almost HAVE to read more
Twilight- it was just ah-mazing
New Moon- i actually dont mind jacob that much!.!.!.hes more realistic
Breaking Dawn- it wasnt as much of a romance as the others and it just wasnt bella and edward-y i guess!.!.!.!.you know like edward was so scared for bella [[which he was more paranoid not really SCARED]] and Bella changed uz of renesmeeWww@QuestionHome@Com
