A-ya is a Cherokee legend assoicated with Kalona. The Cherokee believe that thousands of years ago, Kalona was believed to be a Fallen Angel. For many years Kalona made peace with the Cherokee. But soon he started raping the women of the tribe. The " witches" of the tribe grew tired of the raping. They devised a plan to demolish Kalona. They created A-Ya, or translated, "me". They named her this because they created her from their images. A-Ya was made from clay. A-ya was sitting on the edge of a river combing her long, beautiful hair when Kalona found her. She saw him and ran. Kalona followed her into a cave where he caught her. Has soon as he touched her, the cave was sealed, trapping him in forever. A-Ya immedently returned to clay. It is said that when "the earth bleeds" that Kalona will return and reek havoc on the world. The women he raped bore children known as Raven Mockers. The are half man, half raven. These Raven Mockers are a gentle reminder of the great legend of A-Ya and Kalona.
