Mondo 's Clan


I am Mondo when my tale began I was 16 geezerhood old. My Father was killed by a cave bear 5 year earlier and my female parent was claimed by Grog .... Grog hates me.

The men are gathering for a hunt, we are traveling to a summer camp and demand to have essence for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too slacken ... .. soon, very soon I will dispute him. He says my big feet make me clumsy.

The men are quick to hunt and the point man Tondor calls us to locomote out. Lateen has spotted a herd of Bison not to far from our pack. We will hang back them and set up an ambush. Tondor tells Grog and I to make a motion ahead on the right while lateen and Gorbus does the same to the left.

I ease behind a stone with my shaft in hand when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a oink and look over my berm and see Grog swinging his club at my pass. My movement caused the blow to be a stupefy black eye instead of killing me it knocked me unconscious and I fell in to the stampede. Luckily there was a dead tree that had fallen and lay in their track and my lifeless trunk rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my head hurt and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my water supply pelt. I took a deglutition and poured some over my question. Slowly very slowly I began to come to my senses. Grog tried to kill me before I could challenged him.

Grog was about 5'tall and weighed about 200 lbs. I on the former hand stood at 6'and weighed about the Lapp but where Grog was fat mine was muscle. One day I will take him down, maybe today when I get back to camp.

I found my spear and using it as a faculty I made my way back to camp. Before I made it to the camp surface area I realized something was very wrong, no smoke, as I rounded the boulder that marked the ingress to the box canyon where the clique had been for calendar month. Before me was a bare orbit no huts no people ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the ground.

The Clan probably thought I was stagnant, Grog would have told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not know how recollective I was out, as feeble as I felt it could stimulate been Day. I knew where there were some berry vines near by and I went to them that at least gave me a bit of nourishment.

After I had eaten my fill of the berry I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's wake. I do n't screw what I was expecting but … where else was I to go, I had been following for 60 minutes when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a spear sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must have eluded the Clan and died slowly. I took my flint tongue and began the operation of skinning it. Before I was one-half done I decided to build a fervency to maintain predatory animal away. I gathered wood and pulled out my fire gem struck them together and directed the sparks to the tinder and in moments I had my fire I fed it larger pieces of wood till I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the marrow and placed it on a stone near the attack. Just by accident, a few years ago a hunk of meat was dropped into the coal of our fire. Some time later my Father noticed the tantalizing smell from the cooking meat he raked it out, brushed it off and took a morsel. We each tried a piece of the falsify meat and now often cooked our marrow. I stood up from placing the kernel and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just stay right where I was. I made wrack and hung pieces of inwardness to smoke and to dry. I staked out the Bison peel and began to come up the pelt and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my fill and although I heard piranha almost every night my attack seemed to keep them at bay. I found some small Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree with straight torso about an inch to an inch and a half in diameter. I cut two about eight pes long then I cut smaller unity to make a bedspread of about three foot. These I tied to the longer poles to make a travois. I cut a lot of thin strips from the Bison skin for this and more to tie the skin and and the meat to the travois.

Grog set looking into the campfire thinking about how his plan to get rid of Mondo had worked so well, he laughed to himself. It was even in force than he had planed, Mondo had fell right in front of the stampede. He laughs to himself nothing left of Mondo.

Tondor regretted the red of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the substantially Hunter in the Clan. They had looked for him but Grog had seen him come down in front of the stampede so there was not much mother wit in too long of a search.

They had traveled many Clarence Shepard Day Jr. to their summer pack only to describe that there had been a forest fire during the wintertime and the expanse was nil but ashes. Tondor decided to turn compass north east in hunting of new land.

Mondo 's mother was sure that Grog was at shift for her sons death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would beat her and pass on her rump. So she kept her thoughts to herself.
lateen sail 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only XI she had a crush on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, unassailable and most handsome and Sonda knew that one day he would break up her ... She just had to grow a picayune bit ... well since her chest was plane and she was as tightfitting as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the poles to his shoulder and began his search for the Clan. It was at least a moonlight to the summer clique. He had made a sling from a couple of strands cut from the bison skin and kept the sling in his hand as he walked. By the clock time he stopped for the day he had three Rabbits and a Badger. He had gutted them while walking then when he stopped he finished skinning them. Mondo was bent over scrapping the badger hide when he heard a roar ... He grabbed his spear and turned, he barley had clip to set himself as a saber-tooth Tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his knees and steadied his fishgig. The Panthera tigris hit the fizgig and labour the lance into its thorax the force of the impact carried the tiger over and yesteryear Mondo ripping the spear out of his hands. Mondo grabbed for his Flint River knife and leaped on to the Tigers back and with the razor sharp flint knife attacked the throat of the tiger. The force of the Tiger landing place broke the gig in half. The blade of the fizgig pierced the heart of the beast as it slung Mondo off its rachis. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's feet … dead. Mondo had closed his middle because he knew he was deadened ... nothing happened …. he opened his eyes to see the tiger at his feet, then he shook.

He had no time to fall apart. He gathered wood and built a declamatory flame. He began skinning the Tiger noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may have been nursing. Mondo staked out the Panthera tigris skin out to prepare scraping soft. Then he drug the carcase away from cantonment. Returning to the coterie he found three kittens eating his rabbits that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the question about if the Tiger had outfit or not.. Mondo picked up the rabbits and stuck them on sticks over the fire. He cut the Badger into small pieces and fed it to the kit. They ate their fill then curled up side by side to Mondo and went to sleep.

The future morn Mondo went back to the Panthera tigris carcass ... it was almost clean zilch but os left. He looked around and found the oral sex and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six inches long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to camp down the kit were playing and nipping at the badger ivory. He staked out the tiger skin and went to work on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the pole and started off it had been three daylight preparing the tiger tegument, the kit played around his feet. They would take a few steps and look back and mew. Then run to view up then repeat, they were not sure what to do for Mondo kept on walking. This went on for over an hour then the kits started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a doleful cry and an answering growl .... a coyote looking for an easy meal. Why ? Mondo does not sleep together but he dropped the magnetic pole grabbed the half fishgig and attacked the brush wolf. Being a coward the coyote ran away … well just out of ambit ... Mondo scratched his nous wondering why he did some of the things he did. He walked back to the tired and pock kit and picked up one turned it over … it was a Male he said"You are Saint Bruno ”. The next had brinded streak and was female for some grounds it reminded him of Lateen 's daughter,"You are Sondi."The last-place one was small but manlike Mondo laughed at the conflict and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the bearer and placed them on the tegument. They settled down to sleep.

As the days passed the kits would get down from the carrier run and play till they tired then they would rise back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to notice a flimsy tingle in the air he began to care that there might be a late C storm coming. He started searching for a place to defend up and waitress it out. With the aid of his sling he had plenty of meat to last so that was no vexation but he did need to see a uncoiled Pole to make into a spear. Another hour of walking and he noticed a rack of trees that had a few saplings the gross distance for his spear ... if he could find the mightily stones maybe he could Saratoga chip out three or four spear principal. He began to count for good flints and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear heads he heard a howler, He took his one-half spear and moved off in the way of the shriek. He was walking in a dry current bed, as he walked he would pluck up rocks to use with his sling if needed. He could recount he was getting close by the grunting just ahead of him. As he rounded a bend he saw something he had only heard about. Before him was what his dad had called lomen their bodies were twisted as was their faces they were feeder of men. The lomen were broad in the physical structure and strong and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg os of a man they had ripped apart. The former two were trying to pull something from under the bramble bushes next to the rocks. From the thigh-slapper I could differentiate it was a female and that the thorns was all that was between her and these freak. I loaded my catapult and let fly hitting the eater in the tabernacle ... he dropped the leg and fell forward. I reloaded just as one of the early turned toward me I let fly the rock'n'roll catching him in the prow head. Before I could reload the final one had turned and charged me.

Before he could reach me three tawny dynamos went streaking past one grabbed an ankle, one grabbed the most secret parts causing him to raise his heading which gave Bruno of Toul the prospect he needed and latched on to his throat. As the monster went down I planted my half lance in to his thorax and pressed it into his heart. I called the Kits off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk teeth had been replaced by the beginning of their ivory, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprised when those clamped on his genitalia.

I looked around and saw Runt on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another thigh-slapper and I said do n't injure my kitten he just wants to play and you are safe now the lomen are dead.
"Who are you ?"
"I am Mondo a lone hunter lost from my Clan."“ I am going to cut the Brambles back"I took my knife and cleared an scuttle through the brambles. I was surprised to chance there was a cave behind the brambles. The opening was about four animal foot across and tall but once in face the cave it was at least eight infantry tall. As I entered the first thing I saw was an eight year old playing with runt beside her was her mother and three other char and two boys about ten. The man who had been ripped apart was the only adult Male with them. They were looking at me with fear, I glanced to either side and realized that Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the bodies and get my cogwheel and then I will regress. I drug the bodies a sound ways away so predators would not get close to the cave. I checked them for arm but all they had was baseball club, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made numerous trips back outside to institute in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to deal the entrance.
Then I looked at the people still standing in the same plaza that I had left them.."Please at least sit down, I am not here to injure you if you wish to leave I will not hold on you. Do what you wish."

I decided to result them alone and light a flack. I unloaded the travois and spread the the pelt the kitty crawled right on the fur and Lil the eight yr old who had been playing with Runt followed him onto the pelt. One by one they began to sit on the fur and the boys asked if it was alright to pet the kittens. Sondi answered by rubbing on their ramification, Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the fervor started and started some lapin to roasting. I am Mondo I will finish telling my narration. I noticed that some of the smoke drifted down the roof line of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of Sir Henry Wood and and used it as a torch. I walked farther in to the undermine the two boy and Sondi and Bruno followed. About fifty metrical unit inward we found a flow that ran along the right field wall. The guy smelled the piddle and took a drink. I dipped my helping hand in, the water was coldness and sweet. We walked on for about a one hundred human foot the cave made a bend to the left field and opened up to a Brobdingnagian room with a pool almost twenty to thirty foot across. There was some sort of Moss on the cave paries that gave off light. I no longer involve the blowlamp so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the room and could see an possibility ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful valley. A river flowed from out of the ground at the root word of the deal. Wild game was abundant, Charles Edward Berry were discernible as well as herbaceous plant and spices all were in flock. Mondo turned to the boys,"Bring me the torch and I will relight it then I want you to go bring every one here."I continued to gaze at the valley trying to judge its size the best supposition was it was at least 10 miles long and 5 all-encompassing but would know better when I had a probability to explore.

While the son were gone I walked out into the Valley and looked around. I felt like I was habitation, the cave had shelter and fresh H2O and the vale had all the food we could eat. I was standing in front of the cave with my subdivision lifted up towards the sky as the others stepped out of the cave. Lil and her female parent Ludi were first out of the cave they walked up to me and asked where are we. Ludi says When we left the other end it was snowing but..but.. here the sun is shining and it is warm. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the women, Pori, made the input we could last here and no one would know.."Moli and Star the other two charwoman spoke together"we need to go get our things."I knew then I had been accepted for, our things they refer too was the items I had unloaded from my travois. But they were right we needed the affair moved to this end .We all went back together.

The first night we slept on the furs it was closing curtain quiescency, in the middle of the dark I awoke with an arm draped across my body stroking my chest and stomach.. I started to turn over when a articulation said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the notion and not knowing who was doing the friction. That night I had pleasant dreams. And when I awoke the next morn the noblewoman were out gathering herbs Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medical specialty adult female apprentice, And Lil 's mother.
The other lady, Pori seventeen, Moli 19 and wizard twenty five were not related to the boys, Drago and Malo were Gemini but not identical, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The whole group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hours when the leader of the lomen called a check. He pointed to three of his group and public speaking in a language they did not understand. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to catch them. Their guards pushed them down near a large downed Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a pickle under the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree which led to the dry current bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the hole. She told her mother and Ludi whispered to the others. Then they waited. Later into the night the lomen began to drowse when she felt it safe she lowered Lil into the hole and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the lastly and he slipped and fell making enough noise to awaken the lomen. They ran as fast as they could then Ludi saw the brambles and every one tried to slide under them when the lomen grabbed the man and literally ripped him apart. One of the other lomen was reaching under the brambles and had grabbed on to ace .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took charge and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to realize sure no one was injured. And they all stood there in fear not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his spears he stripped the bark from the saplings. And stood the helve near the fervency to start out the drying out and hardening of the shafts. He took the Harlan Stone and began working on the blades for the spear-point. Drago and Malo sat close watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kittens following the cleaning lady and playing. The woman seemed to drive the front of the Saber-tooth cats as rude. After making four fishgig leaf blade and rotating the shaft Mondo decided it was time to look over the Valley. He gather a few rocks and his slingshot and motioned to the boys, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a humble herd of bison, many rabbits, a multifariousness of snort and goats and sheep and many other animals. They all seemed to be food animals other than small carnivores there did not look to be any large vulture. There was no evidence of Tigers, bears or wolves. The most dangerous beast he saw was bovine. One stock had horns about six feet in length. The deer universe was abundant and they counted the dot on a large Stag as three hands plus two digit. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceful vale I had introduced three top of the strain predatory animal. They may be young now but … one day. I guess I would bear to train them. And let them run in the forest from the bramble bush entrance. I decided my estimate of the size of the Valley was close very close but probably the vale was a bit larger. In the distance Mondo could see a dismal country which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another exit. One day he vowed to walk all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the boy returned the camp seemed to be hollow ... Mondo was worried, with spear at the ready he entered coterie. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the boys entered the cave and was met with the sight of Star completely nude and the others all waist cryptical in the pool ... also nude. They saw him and the boys and waved to them, come in come in there is a hot springs in the pool. Mondo looked around at the boy but was too late they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the piss. Mondo shed his own hide to the oohs and aahs of the adult cleaning woman. Mondo did n't birth to do anything just walk into the syndicate. The women met him and began to wash him even Lil tried to help but the char said no.

The triangular bandage kept us in solid food and skins for dress. There was a works that had blades that looked like sword, the thorn on the end of the sword could be broken off and a thinly thread like spell about two feet long could be pulled out of the sword, this made for a everlasting needle and thread. The thorn would reform after about two week so the needle and ribbon was constantly replaced as long as the sword was not cut. I taught all how to use the slings and they all seemed to be naturals. It was a pleasant aliveness though I wished for more men to go after bragging secret plan and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not know how lots to a greater extent she could take. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to expect for things to get angry about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to discount it but he to had been casting his center at the comeliness of Sharlu. Ever since his married woman had died he had thought to exact a new wife, but by the laws of the tribe Grog had acted first and Sharlu was his. If Tondar ever actually saw Grog drubbing Sharlu .... He would Challenge Grog. But now was not the time. A sickness had swept through the Clan, Tobar the medicine Man worked with them all until he too became sick Before it was over they had lost six children, five men including Tobar and eight fair sex. The tribe was really hurting there was only football team men, five cleaning woman and ten children. Of the ten nestling only three were over twelve and only one was male. Some of the men were still very weak only three hunters were available to tip the Clan. No Tondar thinks, today is not a good day to gainsay. Grog is needed.

Grog was never touched by sickness and he took this as a sign that he was destined to be head teacher of the clan. He would watch Tondar and he would plan.

Today whiz asked to go on the hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three geographical mile from the camp when Star dropped to her genu and put her mind to the ground and pulled her wear to the position baring her delightful butt. As she wiggled her laughingstock she tells Mondo she wants a infant. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to put down her. After the fourth young woman wiz reached between her legs, took him in bridge player and guided him into her velvet mitt. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went uncivilized bouncing maven all over the ground. Then he felt a strange sensation and he grabbed her hip and shoved himself all the way into maven, His release was like an plosion and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at principal animal foot, the remainder of the morning was spent the Saame way. They finished their William Holman Hunt and Star told him the other women were waiting their play. They had decided that their kin group needed more people. Mondo walked around the rest period of the day with a big smile on his side just thinking … he would get to do this to the early womanhood too.

As they arrived back at camp everyone knew that Star had been successful and every time the other char would walk past Mondo they would jerk their fag end at him. Even Lil as young as she was got in on the posterior twitching. Two month later all the women were pregnant and Lil was asking her mother why she could n't be fraught too.

Mondo was training the Cats and as they became orotund he began taking them out into the forest past the Bramble gate. The Cats had made a good killing and I was dragging my travois with the meat and pelt down the gully when St. Bruno came to a stop and I could here a grumbling in Sondi 's throat. half-pint was crouched in his tone-beginning mode. I made a downward thrust with my workforce, I had trained them that this meant to crouch down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a line of reasoning of captives .My Cats hated lomen. I counted the prisoners, two men, six womanhood and five tike under twelve, two boy and three girl. We followed knowing they would stop for a rest soon. When they stopped we waited boulder clay two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my sling and bounced a tilt off the safety device temple killing him instantly. The safety device falling awakened the other two lomen they began to lift but stopped when they felt the paw on their chest. Bruno and Sondi made one slice and opened the throat of the two. shrimp not to be out done ripped out the pharynx of the one I had killed.


I released one of the captive and instructed her to release the others while I got rid of the lomen.

I looked around at the captives and told them not to care about the computerized tomography, they are tame. I told them to take after us to heaven. I picked up my Travois and led them to the bramble gate. When we stepped out at the other end they were speechless. They blended in with the repose of our fast growing kinship group. Even though two of the adult female were wife 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the first time. Because I was potent and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant world-class born of their new Clan because one of the small fry, a lilliputian girl named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was less than a year old.


As month passed and the women all became pregnant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were up to of feeding the clan for awhile. I decided to make another lookup for my female parent and Tondor 's clan. I carried my Travois and 3 shaft and Bruno and Sondi. Runt I left with Ludi to aid protect the tribe. I took no food for thought except for one meal and two water hide. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with fresh brambles and scouted the field to shit sure no lomen had been around.
Game seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no grounds to kill any large game on the way out. No gumption of packing pelts both instruction. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Saint Bruno to make sweeps around us. By night fall we had had no problems and I had killed enough small game to feed myself and the kat. I built up a fervor and snuggled between the cat and drifted off to sleep.

The next good morning we continued our trek ... the computed axial tomography seemed to be uneasy and I noticed the tranquillity around us ... There is something ill-timed ... now I need to get out what.
I tried to get the Cats to scout but all they would do was rumble deep in their chest. I got my spear ready and take in my computed axial tomography, I knew they would warn me of impending danger.

The hackles on Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six infantry from me also facing toward the direction that Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my gig and backed between two boulders that were about XVIII inches apart. I still have no theme what I am about to face. Then Bruno boom and is answered by a roar that chills even the advantageously Hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the bushes on all four-spot. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's back legs it was at least xv human foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, Saint Bruno attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all fours and charged toward me. I set myself with my spear, just before the bear reached me a tawny projectile struck the bear behind it 's left front leg. Sondi held on. Then St. Bruno struck from the rear. The bear reared up again, as its head was raising up I struck with my spear straight for the throat. The outset lance did not perforate very far but it seemed to con fuse the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the boulder instead of me. The Cats were ravishing the bears hind tail then leaping aside when the bear tried to attack them. I unknowingly had reached in to my belt and pulled out the sabre tooth tusk. Sondi takes another clump out of the bears front leg, the bear turns its head to the side, I see my probability and I pounce. With all my might I jam the Sabre tooth in to the ear canal of the bear which penetrates the brain. Not realizing it is perfectly the contain swings back at me ... I back off, the tolerate roars and falls dead at my invertebrate foot.
I check my kat both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no bleeding is evident. I skin the bear. I took the cutis and a little of the meat. I really hated to leave all that meat but predators and scavengers would be all over us. We traveled on money box we came to a stream and there we camped till I finished with the bearskin. This took almost a week after that I would crop with it after my days travel.



9 Babies

The women at the cave began to give birth lead was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All male child except wiz her daughter was called Little wiz. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the Medicine adult female she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the clock time Mondo came home all the sister will be born even little Yo'te the last to get meaning. The men and boys kept the camp supplied with meat. Every day one of the boy and runt would go to the bramble gate and ticker. The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a spear maker and Grug was a potter he made lot and sports stadium for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to overleap Mondo his strength and leadership was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 hunting watch left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the children. Tondar is training Lateen's Daughter Sonda who is already good with a catapult. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. girl Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very difficult to run everyone. With as many that are still debile and sick they were ineffectual to impress to winter soil. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a go up abeyant Volcano. warmth still permeated the cave expanse from hot gasses so they only needed fire if they wished to cook. Each Orion pair went out alone only clock time the whole group would go out on a hunt was if great game was spotted. At that time the charwoman who were potent enough would ready Travois to help skinning and hauling of the meat if a putting to death was made. Sadly this was rare..

fifteen days later Mondo arrived at the kindred summer bivouac he was disheartened to see the barren burned out area. He searched around but could not evidence if the kinship group had been here when the fire occurred or if the fire was older. He stayed there another 10 days making scouting roundabout in all focussing. All he could really tell was the African tea were uneasy in this burned out area. Two 24-hour interval ago the computed axial tomography had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big chunks of the meat and worked on the fell. He decided that in the break of day he would head back. He had to admit he missed his new clan.

The following dayspring after a quick flavour around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his scout and Sondi took tip Mondo could evidence they were happy to be leaving this place. Days turned into hebdomad it had been an well-off stumble except for twice the Cats had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the cats in the scrub and told them to be silent and they watched the lomen searching for new prisoner. Their look was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to lie less than twenty dollar bill gait away. The computed axial tomography did n't like it either but I was able to continue them quiet. Then they decided to take a nap, That was more than I or the Cats could take. I turned them loose, in seconds there was two LE lomen in these woods. It was a affair of beauty to watch them work now that they had nearly reached their wax development. Bruno was about five metrical foot at the front shoulder and about four invertebrate foot at the hind after part. Sondi was just inches small not that it mattered and peewee at the cave was a full foot minor but I think half-pint was faster than his brother and sister.

I could see the dry wash ahead once I entered it I would be close to a mile from Bramble logic gate. Now silence was really needed the course above the dry race was made by the lomen as they carry their captive to their habitation country ... Where ever that is. But today it was clear. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to incite and out came Drago and Runt. I motioned them back inside and the Cats and I followed. All I could think about for the past times hour was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping things, by the time I was at the springs I was nude and walked out into the pool and sank down and closed my oculus. After a few sighs I opened my center and was met by ten women all carrying a baby. My back talk dropped open and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The only answer I got was smiles. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the stately trees on the other side. It has been 4 years since we had found our valley. We had learned how to smoke our meat, there was an indention in the wall of the cave musical passage near way sized. It was near the smoke hole, we had left some center on drying single-foot in this room and the smoke from our cook fire passed over it. When we tried this meat we were surprised by the gustatory perception. We tried raw centre on the stand and the results were great. We were able to make fewer large putting to death and no meat was wasted. Yes this was truly a wonderful valley.
I walked into the River at this decimal point the water system just reached my knees. Along the far bank the women were gathering Chuck Berry in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the children, Malo had found it when it was a pup and raised it. We were as one with the animals. Shad and Gruk and the boys and I did almost of our major Leigh Hunt out the bramble logic gate. That way we had the helper of the Cats, they were still not used in the valley. The solitary prison term we hunted inside the vale was when it was winter at the bramble logic gate. Soon not even then.


Malo and Drago had herded 5 of the bovine creatures into a box canon and had taken light touch and blocked off their escape. Later we had cut magnetic pole and using a crisscross method at the niche and remainder of the Pole we had built a fence with a logic gate. There were three female person and 2 males there was pile of food for them and a branch off the river made urine useable. It was n't till breeding time that we found there was a job with the mix.

The two males fought for the rightfield to breed. We watched the engagement the large bull had horns 18"long on either incline of his head. The smaller only had one horn the other had been broken off some time earlier, he was clearly at a disadvantage. It did n't take long before the smaller bull was too injured to retain the fight. With forget me drug we had made by weaving strips of skins we managed to get the roofy around the strapper 's neck opening we managed to get him out of the logic gate. We sent the boys to get the women and the Travois and killed the bull and began butchering.

Over the years our ruck has grown by natural birth and capturing early female person and adding them to our herd. Our kin was also growing the Sami way. to the highest degree of the female person seemed to welcome our comportment. Which meant we only had to Isolate the fuzz to be able to do work with the cows. Gurk had noticed that after a calf suckled a few driblet of milk was on one of her teats. He reached down gently so as not to startle the cow and stroked the teat. To his surprise a stream of milk shot out. He had Malo bring him a pot. He directed the milk into the pot filling it to the top. He lifted the pot to his brim and sipped, his eyes flew candid and he took an even vainglorious salute then handed the pot to Malo who also took a drink. The milk was very rich and creamy and try delicious.

Back at the clique Ludi was working on her own experimentation. She had begun to take come fuel pod from works they had eaten and herb for medicine and had put them in the ground and watered them and they began to acquire. Mondo had watched the physical process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the children collect the seeded player cod from the grasses. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat forage. Mondo explained he was afraid that the cows would eat all of the grass in the canyon. This way they could scatter the semen all over the canyon and maybe it would farm and help feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"deglutition, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a look of surprisal handed the pot to Ludi. After one taste Ludi was all head ... What is it, where did you get it, can you get Sir Thomas More ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to want the milk removed as if it was too good. Malo suggested we try to give some to Lorn 's sister since Lorn had dried up and had no milk for her baby. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her babe.

When Lorn arrived with her baby, Ludi stuck her finger's breadth in the milk and dribbled some over the baby 's mouth. The baby began reaching and its mouth began suckling movement. Lorn immediately stuck her fingerbreadth and copied Ludi 's movement.

Earlier Mondo had thought that this valley had no winter. It Did, but not severe and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the midpoint of the valley would be late with the bamboozle maybe a human foot deep. The rest period of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble Gate the snow would be in heading up to 6 feet mystifying. The Clan had many discussions about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between Mountains and the mountains had closed in at the top limiting the total of C. P. Snow that reached the ground before melting.

lateen 's level


When the sickness hit the kinship group I was one of the last to captivate it I watched as some recovered and some died. When it seemed to throw passed there were only 3 men left to hunt and 8 still to weak to do very much we had our minds set on our recuperation but the fever kept popping back up and more men and woman had died. The Clan was near decimated, 5 men. 4 women and 6 nipper was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to hold the kin group going but every decision he made Grog questioned which caused fermentation in the kin. After almost 4 years I finally had my persuasiveness back, Jonda, Tondar 's sidekick never recovered his good military strength and could not be allowed to go on a hunt alone. By now the unseasoned ones that had been trained by the hunters now ranked as full phase of the moon Hunters. solid food was getting short, It was decided after a great deal contestation by Grog that each of us would reconnoitre for big biz and Jonda would catch the camp.

I headed in a full general steering of Southwest we had agreed we would scout for three mean solar day and on the fourth we would return and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old Summer summer camp, the flame burnt terra firma had given way to new growth. I searched the region and found old foot mark but aught new. I decided I had gone far adequate and would get a dependable nights quietus and start back early. I had killed a cony with my catapult and I cleaned it and put it on a marijuana cigarette over the fire. While it cooked I thought about the problems with the tribe. They did not work as a family unit. Grog seemed to want to drive over the leadership not realizing no one would come him. Tondar realized this but with so few hunters he could not phone grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that stochasticity I began to turn and suddenly every thing went black. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my eyes. I was being carried ... my handwriting and feet were tied to a bamboo perch ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my feet saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural sound and they stopped and lowered me to the primer. With a few swipes with a flint tongue my feet were freed then my paw. After the bamboo pole was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo rod that had 3 men and a char already had their hands and neck opening tied to that pole. I joined them. For days and weeks we were marched through the forest.

We were given fruit and Charles Edward Berry to eat and a water supply tegument twice a day. At night we would talk quietly. I learned that the lomen had raided their village and there were others than the three watching us. Tomorrow they will wait for the other mathematical group to entrance up. They are nervous about this area we will be entering, it seems they have lost a few men to the creature who walks with Panthera tigris. What is that I ask. They said they did n't bonk they could only understand about half of what the lomen say.
The woman was the one who knew the most of their language. She said that many had been killed in this area and their prisoner whisked away. They would incur their champion drug way into the forest and their pharynx would be torn out. nigh were not found before the scavenger got to them and then they were a lot. But what of the beast I asked. And she said they do n't fuck no one has ever seen it ... just once a footmark was found and it was vast.

I thought about the beast and all the prisoners that had disappeared. The biggest invertebrate foot I had ever seen was Mondo 's, but he had been dead for over 5 class. But Mondo ... that is how he got his name ; at birth his human foot were swelled than a two year old. Mondo means Huge ... naugh it could n't be. But … what if ....

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running short of smoke core, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the Cats need some utilisation too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to avail gurk. Malo says Toba and Lion they have already been helping him so they know what to do.
Mondo decided to take all three cats runt needed to sample a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the next sunrise through the Bramble Gate. They had been following the dry laundry for only a knot when Bruno stopped and looked over his berm at Mondo and rumbled deep in his pharynx. Sondi and runt slipped in amongst the radical. I put my hand on them and could feel them trembling. This told me it was not game ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard interpreter and crashing through the chaparral ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the backwash. I always traveled the bottom of the washables. The top of the slipstream had Bush that blocked off the view of the literal Wash. We waited and let them make pass. I tell my friends I heard human voices as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would hold on ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the same location, a clearing that I had rescued the showtime of my clan. We waited for them to fall down. I had Drago mounting up the hole near the shoot down tree. As soon as we attacked he would embark on cutting the mass loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a noise and turns around and Runt charges and bites down on his privates ... I do n't know whats with that cat. The Guard screech and Shad drives his spear into the guards throat. The former two lomen scream"The Beast"and instead of turning to defend they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Giordano Bruno we would have not been able to catch them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a chomp out of the upper right wing thigh which cause the lomen to crash to the soil with Malo rightfulness nates, he drove his fizgig all the way through the backrest and into his mettle. Saint Bruno took down the tertiary one by himself. He leaped high-pitched catching the lomen in the nerve center of the back as the lomen hit the priming coat Saint Bruno drove his tusks into the book binding of the lomen 's neck. The neck opening snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the bodies out into the George Herbert Walker Bush away from the lead. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were complimentary, I heard a pant and a phonation saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see lateen sail, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The charwoman looked at me then at my foot and said,"You are the wolf"then she drew back
as the Cats entered and went to my side.
Lateen told me his write up from the time the folk left thinking I was short, all the way money box now. Then the other people told me of their seizure and that there twelve More prisoner on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble Gate and inside. I told them we would deliver the rest of their federation of tribes then they would hold a choice. To either go back to their hunting grounds or to join our clan.

The next morning the adjacent group of captive arrived there were 6 of them and 4 safety device. Mondo could smell out the disquiet of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to discover the first group waiting for them. I sent Giordano Bruno off to the right and instructed him to roar. When he did the lomen panicked. This was what Mondo was expecting, as t he lomen tried to runaway Sondi and runt charge them from behind. Shad and Drago arose in presence of them with spears at the ready. They thrust forward with their fishgig, Drago 's spear striking only the ball club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to strike at Drago when Mondo and Bruno arrived. Never slowing down Bruno hit the loman in the pectus knocking him down and Mondo landed on the loman 's midsection as he sliced at the lomans throat with his tongue. It was over as fast as it started, they walked back to the captive all spare now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the grouping 2 women three teenagers, a boy and 2 lady friend, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and peewee with the freed captives to the bramble gate. He gave them pedagogy to remain in the slipstream near the hole under the fallen Tree and to hold Runt back till he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the last grouping arrived, they too seemed come to that the others were not waiting for them. Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either English of the trail where it left the clearing. Bruno was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the release to the clarification were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the hole where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smack bloodline, the other four safety device were also unquiet. As the guards heel came down on the boundary of the yap … a doll whistled, a lion roared and the safety disappeared down the maw. The son had each grabbed a leg and yanked the guard into the fix. Before he could go back half-pint had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four safety device. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their Tree driving their spears into the chests of two of the safeguard. The last two had no luck at all. They turned to run back and came face to boldness with Sondi and peewee as they stopped Leo IX hit them from the rear end. Drago and Malo were cutting the captive free. This caboodle consisted of 3 female person 2males a nipper about 10 and a sister in the arm of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and Lateen from Mondo 's home clan.

After they had all the multitude in to the cave Mondo and his hunters really needed to run and set out at once. Ludi took the starter in hand and talked to them. By the prison term the Hunter had returned with their kills it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the woman and the child had decided to go back to their Village. The woman with the infant was just too weak to clear the trip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen, Bruno and Sondi would steer them back then they would continue on to Tondors Tribe.

Mondo 's Clan furnished all the men with fishgig including the teenage boy this made them a force to be reckoned with. 9 Spear men and 2 Big Cats. I think they would savor meeting up with some lomen. The womanhood were pulling the travois and each travois had at least 4 extra spear on it. Three days into their trek they got their wish. Thanks to the Cats they were set up, the women and children gathered in the nerve centre the men squatted around them with their spears angled out to protect the women.


The lomen charged out of the bushes screaming and waving their clubs. Mondo and lateen sail stood and began throwing their spears with the adult female handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the computed axial tomography attacked from behind. The Caterpillar forced the lomen onto the anchored fizgig and the Villagers stabbed with malice. They were angry and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 dead lomen and four wounded. No one planned to acquire prisoner, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken clappers and one dead. It was obvious that the adult female were proud of their men. One of the injured had a fall in shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its clubhouse. One of the women picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple fourth dimension. The early women jumped in and it was a melee after that.

3 weeks later we entered their village. Each travois was loaded with heart and soul and furs, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village chief and the practice of medicine man. After they conquered their care of the Cats we were welcomed with undecided arms. The people we had returned to their village equaled over a third of the Village population and were married woman 's and daughter and fathers and sons. They were very crucial to the Greenwich Village. They threw us a feast that nighttime and we departed early the following break of the day.

lateen assured Mondo that they only had two more days till they reached the Cave of Tondars kin group. He also told him about the discontent Grog had caused. Lateen said he was trusted that Grog had beaten Mondo's mother but could not prove it.. Mondo informed him he needed no proof ... Grog had tried to pop him and that was enough he was going to call him out..

Lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the raise. Mondo stepped out a little faster. A big Cat to either side and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden heavyweight. The mass of the Clan raised their hands to fill in their eyes trying to identify the image before them. Lateen picked this time to ill-treat into the view. He hollered,"Hello the clique"…. Tondar yelled it is Lateen. Sonda began to run to encounter her Dad but seeing one of the Big bozo step forward caused her to stop. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the Camp as Mondo 's voice bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to vote down Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not waffle he walked straight to Grog and one huge fist crashed into Grogs facial expression. The blow knocked grog to the ground. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the carnage, Bruno of Toul and Sondi were walking a circle around the battler. Grog tried to grab a lance to use against Mondo. But an enraged Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to scramble his opposer to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to stop the beating and backed off looking at the fat glob of jelly at his groundwork. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my decree and the laws of the clan ... I claim all Grogs monomania an blackball him from the Clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your Mother ?"
"My mother is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my checkmate, do you concord ?"since she had been declared a dislodge clanswoman it was her choice. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a young woman and a kinship group hunter put her subdivision around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a Hunter 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a apparent motion with his fingerbreadth. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big Cats,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting heart and soul on to cook. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his feet and drug him outside the refugee camp and dumped him there. As he walked into clique Lateen was telling everyone of Momd 's kin and that there was no need to move camp twice a twelvemonth and there was a medicinal drug woman and a soundly life.

So began the trek to the Bramble Gate.

Tondar spoke with Socar who had been Grog 's Orion trainee. He asked him how he felt about the banishment of Grog ... Socar says the only matter he hate about it is he did not get to do the licking himself. When they would go on a William Holman Hunt, Grog would belittle him and hit him when he did not do as Grog said. Grog was a mean man. I now wish to take from Mondo.

As time went by on the trail the hunting watch hunted at their leisure. The nearer they came to their new domicile the more stir they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could murder the Brambles Gate there was an barrage of kid and Runt. They gathered the other children and drug them inside to show them everything. Mondo began doing the Saame with the grownup. When they reached the other end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful valley. Our shack were beginning to conduct the shape of lasting structures. There was no need for temporary protection anymore.

Tondar wanted to know everything about the cattle, the pith smoking, and especially about the Milk. They sat around a campfire and verbalize way into the night. One of the topics they discussed was leadership of the Clan. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's clan but Tondar had always been Mondo's chieftain. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his headland,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is metre for spring chicken to lead the Clan. As long as I am alive I will notify you as needed but You are now Chief."

Today we celebrate the joning of two kin into one kin the"kin of the hombre !"

But what of the lomen and what is at the end of the Valley ?
