Mondo 's Clan


I am Mondo when my story began I was 16 twelvemonth old. My Father was killed by a cave bear 5 eld earlier and my Mother was claimed by Grog .... Grog hates me.

The men are gathering for a hunt, we are traveling to a summer camp and need to have meat for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too wearisome ... .. soon, very soon I will challenge him. He says my big feet make me incompetent.

The men are ready to hunt down and the drumhead man Tondor calls us to move out. Lateen has spotted a herd of Bison not to far from our camp. We will tag them and set up an ambush. Tondor tells Grog and I to travel ahead on the right wing while lateen sail and Gorbus does the Saami to the left.

I ease behind a rock with my gig in deal when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a grunt and look over my articulatio humeri and see Grog swinging his clubhouse at my psyche. My trend caused the bump to be a stunning blow 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 path and my lifeless body rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my caput harm and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my water tegument. I took a drinking and poured some over my heading. Slowly very slowly I began to come to my sentience. Grog tried to bolt down 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 same but where Grog was fat mine was muscular tissue. One day I will take him down, maybe today when I get back to camp.

I found my fizgig and using it as a staff I made my way back to bivouac. Before I made it to the camp expanse I realized something was very incorrectly, no smoke, as I rounded the boulder that marked the ingress to the box canyon where the ingroup had been for months. Before me was a bare area no huts no people ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the ground.

The kin group probably thought I was dead, Grog would hold 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 weak as I felt it could give been days. 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 Charles Edward Berry I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's wake. I do n't have it away what I was expecting but … where else was I to go, I had been following for time of day when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a spear sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must receive eluded the Clan and died slowly. I took my flint knife and began the cognitive process of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to build up a fervency to maintain piranha away. I gathered forest and pulled out my fire rock struck them together and directed the sparks to the punk and in mo I had my fire I fed it larger art object of Natalie Wood till I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the substance and placed it on a Harlan Stone near the fire. Just by chance event, a few age ago a hunk of meat was dropped into the coal of our fervour. Some time later my Father noticed the tantalizing smell from the cooking inwardness he raked it out, brushed it off and took a bite. We each tried a opus of the manipulate meat and now often cooked our centre. I stood up from placing the meat and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a watercourse near by so I decided to just stay right where I was. I made Racks and hung pieces of meat to smoke and to dry. I staked out the Bison pelt and began to scratch the skin and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my filling and although I heard predators almost every night my ardor seemed to keep them at bay. I found some lowly trees with straight trunks about an inch to an in and a one-half in diameter. I cut two about eight feet long then I cut smaller ones to make a bed covering of about three invertebrate foot. These I tied to the longer Pole to lay down a travois. I cut a lot of thin funnies from the Bison cutis for this and more to tie the peel and and the meat to the travois.

Grog set looking into the campfire thinking about how his architectural plan to get rid of Mondo had worked so well, he laughed to himself. It was even meliorate than he had planed, Mondo had fell right in front of the stampede. He laughs to himself zilch left hand of Mondo.

Tondor regretted the loss of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the considerably Orion in the kin group. They had looked for him but Grog had seen him fall in front of the stampede so there was not much sensation in too long of a search.

They had traveled many solar day to their summertime Camp only to strike that there had been a forest fire during the winter and the area was nothing but ashes. Tondor decided to turn North east in search of new land.

Mondo 's mother was sure enough that Grog was at geological fault for her Son demise but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would beat her and leave her stern. So she kept her thinking to herself.
Lateen 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only xi she had a crush on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, strongest and most better-looking and Sonda knew that one day he would pick her ... She just had to grow a lilliputian bit ... well since her chest was flat and she was as close as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the Pole to his articulatio humeri and began his search for the kin group. It was at least a moonlight to the summertime clique. He had made a sling from a twain of strands cut from the bison skin and kept the triangular bandage in his hand as he walked. By the prison term he stopped for the day he had three cony and a badger. He had gutted them while walking then when he stopped he finished skinning them. Mondo was bent over scrapping the badger pelt when he heard a holler ... 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 genu and steadied his fizgig. The Panthera tigris hit the spear and drive the spear into its breast the force out of the wallop carried the tiger over and past Mondo ripping the spear out of his handwriting. Mondo grabbed for his flint knife and leaped on to the tigers back and with the razor needlelike Flint River knife attacked the throat of the tiger. The effect of the Panthera tigris landing broke the fizgig in half. The sword of the spear pierced the pith of the wolf as it slung Mondo off its backrest. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's infantry … idle. Mondo had closed his eyes because he knew he was bushed ... cipher happened …. he opened his eyes to see the tiger at his feet, then he shook.

He had no prison term to shine apart. He gathered woodwind instrument and ramp up a large fire. He began skinning the Tiger noting the fact that it was a female person and looked like it may bear been nursing. Mondo staked out the tiger skin out to make scraping easier. Then he drug the carcass away from bivouac. Returning to the camp he found three kitten eating his cony 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 coney and wedge them on pin over the flack. He cut the Wisconsinite into small patch and fed it to the outfit. They ate their fill then curled up next to Mondo and went to sleep.

The following morning time Mondo went back to the Tamil Tigers carcass ... it was almost clean nothing but bones left. He looked around and found the head and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six in long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to encamp the kits were playing and nipping at the Wisconsinite os. He staked out the tiger skin and went to bring on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the poles and started off it had been three days preparing the tiger hide, the kits played around his feet. They would take a few steps and look back and mew. Then run to catch up then repetition, 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 promiscuous meal. Why ? Mondo does not know but he dropped the poles grabbed the half gig and attacked the coyote. Being a coward the Canis latrans ran away … well just out of reach ... Mondo scratched his headway wondering why he did some of the matter he did. He walked back to the tired and scared kits and picked up one turned it over … it was a male he said"You are Bruno ”. The future had tabby band and was female for some cause it reminded him of Lateen 's daughter,"You are Sondi."The go one was diminished but male Mondo laughed at the struggle and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the postman and placed them on the skins. They settled down to sleep.

As the days passed the kits would get down from the mailman run and drama trough they tired then they would wax back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to notice a flimsy chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a late snow tempest coming. He started searching for a place to hold up up and await it out. With the aid of his catapult he had spate of inwardness to last so that was no worry but he did need to find a consecutive terminal to make into a shaft. Another hour of walking and he noticed a stand of trees that had a few saplings the arrant length for his spear ... if he could find the right stone maybe he could chip out three or four spear straits. He began to look for serious flints and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the fizgig heads he heard a scream, He took his half fizgig and moved off in the direction of the scream. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would piece up rocks to use with his sling if needed. He could tell 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 organic structure were twisted as was their faces they were feeder of men. The lomen were broad in the body and strong and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg ivory of a man they had ripped apart. The other two were trying to overstretch something from under the bramble bushes next to the stone. From the shrieking I could tell it was a female person and that the thorns was all that was between her and these devil. I loaded my scarf bandage and let fly hitting the feeder in the temple ... he dropped the leg and fell forward. I reloaded just as one of the other turned toward me I let fly the rock catching him in the stem straits. Before I could reload the live on 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 private parting causing him to raise his head which gave Leo IX the chance he needed and latched on to his throat. As the monster went down I planted my half gig in to his chest and pressed it into his heart. I called the kit off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk teeth had been replaced by the origin of their ivory, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprised when those clamped on his private parts.

I looked around and saw peewee on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another scream and I said do n't hurt my kitty he just wants to playact and you are prophylactic 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 tongue and cleared an chess opening through the brambles. I was surprised to find there was a cave behind the brambles. The opening was about four animal foot across and tall but once in side the cave it was at least eight foot tall. As I entered the initiatory matter I saw was an eight year old playing with half-pint beside her was her female parent and three former cleaning woman and two boys about ten. The man who had been ripped apart was the but adult male person with them. They were looking at me with fear, I glanced to either English and realized that Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the bodies and get my gear mechanism and then I will return. I drug the consistence a good ways away so vulture would not come close to the cave. I checked them for artillery but all they had was nightspot, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made numerous stumble back outside to get in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to extend the entrance.
Then I looked at the people still standing in the same place that I had left them.."Please at least sit down, I am not here to bruise you if you wish to exit I will not arrest you. Do what you wish."

I decided to forget them alone and light a fire. I unloaded the travois and spread the the furs the kittens crawled right on the fur and Lil the eight class old who had been playing with Runt followed him onto the fur. One by one they began to sit on the furs and the boys asked if it was alright to pet the kittens. Sondi answered by rubbing on their pegleg, 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 narrative. I noticed that some of the skunk drifted down the roof line of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of woodwind instrument and and used it as a torch. I walked farther in to the cave the two boys and Sondi and Bruno followed. About fifty feet inward we found a current that ran along the rightfield wall. The cats smelled the water supply and took a drink. I dipped my hand in, the piss was frigid and seraphic. We walked on for about a hundred feet the cave made a turn to the left and opened up to a vast elbow room with a pool almost twenty dollar bill to thirty feet across. There was some form of Moss on the cave walls that gave off light. I no longer need the torch so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the elbow room and could see an scuttle ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful vale. A river flowed from out of the ground at the base of the mountain. Wild game was abundant, berries were evident as well as herbs and spiciness all were in survey. Mondo turned to the boys,"Bring me the blowtorch and I will relight it then I want you to go bring every one here."I continued to stare at the valley trying to pass judgment its size the expert guess was it was at least 10 miles long and 5 wide but would know just when I had a chance to explore.

While the boy were gone I walked out into the valley and looked around. I felt like I was home, the cave had shelter and fresh water and the vale had all the food we could eat. I was standing in strawman of the cave with my arms 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 lovesome. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the adult female, Pori, made the gossip we could live here and no one would know.."Moli and Star the former two women spoke together"we need to go get our things."I knew then I had been accepted for, our things they refer too was the item I had unloaded from my travois. But they were right we needed the things moved to this end .We all went back together.

The first dark we slept on the furs it was snug sleeping, in the middle of the night I awoke with an arm draped across my body stroking my chest and stomach.. I started to call on over when a voice said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the feeling and not knowing who was doing the rubbing. That night I had pleasant dreams. And when I awoke the next morning the noblewoman were out gathering herb Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a music char apprentice, And Lil 's mother.
The early dame, Pori 17, Moli nineteen and Star twenty five were not related to the male child, Drago and Malo were counterpart but not selfsame, .they did not eff what had happened to their parents.

The solid group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hour when the leader of the lomen called a stoppage. He pointed to three of his group and public speaking in a words they did not understand. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to look out them. Their guards pushed them down near a heavy downed Tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a trap under the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree which led to the dry stream bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the muddle. She told her female parent and Ludi whispered to the others. Then they waited. Later into the night the lomen began to drowse when she felt it good she lowered Lil into the muddle and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the last and he slipped and fell making enough racket to awaken the lomen. They ran as fast as they could then Ludi saw the brambles and every one tried to slip under them when the lomen grabbed the man and literally ripped him apart. One of the early lomen was reaching under the brambles and had grabbed on to lead .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took thrill and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to make 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 barque from the saplings. And stood the haft near the flak to begin the drying out and hardening of the rotating shaft. He took the stones and began working on the blades for the spearhead. Drago and Malo sat finish watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kitty following the adult female and playing. The adult female seemed to take the presence of the Saber-tooth cats as natural. After making four gig blades and rotating the ray Mondo decided it was time to look over the Valley. He gather a few rocks and his sling and motioned to the boy, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a pocket-sized ruck of bison, many rabbits, a variety of razzing and caprine animal and sheep and many other animals. They all seemed to be food animals other than pocket-size carnivores there did not seem to be any vauntingly piranha. There was no grounds of Tigers, bears or wolves. The most unsafe creature he saw was bovine. One breed had motor horn about six feet in length. The deer population was abundant and they counted the points on a enceinte hart as three mitt plus two fingers. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceful valley I had introduced three top of the line piranha. They may be Thomas Young now but … one day. I guess I would have to train them. And let them hound in the forest from the bramble bush entrance. I decided my appraisal of the size of the valley was finish very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the aloofness Mondo could see a dark country which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another way out. One day he vowed to take the air all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the son returned the camp seemed to be evacuate ... Mondo was worried, with spear at the ready he entered refugee camp. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the boy entered the cave and was met with the sight of whiz completely nude and the others all waist deep in the pool ... also nude. They saw him and the son and waved to them, make out in come in there is a hot saltation in the kitty. Mondo looked around at the boys but was too deep they had already dropped their dress and were running for the water. Mondo shed his own skins to the oohs and aahs of the adult charwoman. Mondo did n't have to do anything just walk into the pocket billiards. The char met him and began to wash out him even Lil tried to facilitate but the char said no.

The slings kept us in food and cutis for clothes. There was a plant that had blades that looked like steel, the thorn on the end of the brand could be broken off and a thin thread like piece of music about two invertebrate foot long could be pulled out of the brand, this made for a perfect needle and thread. The irritant would reform after about two weeks so the needle and thread was constantly replaced as long as the steel was not cut. I taught all how to use the slings and they all seemed to be cancel. It was a pleasant life though I wished for more men to go after bigger game and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's female parent, Sharlu, did not know how a good deal more she could deal. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to look for things to get furious about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to brush off it but he to had been casting his eyes at the beauteousness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to arrogate a new wife, but by the jurisprudence of the tribe Grog had acted first and Sharlu was his. If Tondar ever actually saw Grog beating 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 puke Before it was over they had lost six kid, five men including Tobar and eight fair sex. The tribe was really hurting there was only eleven men, five fair sex and ten shaver. Of the ten children only three were over XII and only one was male person. Some of the men were still very weak only three hunters were useable to feast the clan. No Tondar thinks, today is not a good day to challenge. Grog is needed.

Grog was never touched by sickness and he took this as a sign that he was destined to be headspring of the kin group. He would observe Tondar and he would plan.

Today Star asked to go on the hunt club with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three naut mi from the Camp when sensation dropped to her human knee and put her head to the priming and pulled her clothing to the side baring her delicious target. As she wiggled her butt she tells Mondo she wants a infant. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to participate her. After the quartern fille Star reached between her legs, took him in handwriting and guided him into her velvet glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went wild bouncing mavin all over the reason. Then he felt a strange sensation and he grabbed her hip joint and shoved himself all the way into genius, His release was like an explosion and as the touch receded. Mondo collapsed at Stars ft, the quietus of the morning was spent the same way. They finished their Leigh Hunt and Star told him the early women were waiting their good turn. They had decided that their federation of tribes needed more people. Mondo walked around the rest of the day with a big grin on his brass just thinking … he would get to do this to the early women too.

As they arrived back at refugee camp everyone knew that Star had been successful and every time the other woman would take the air past Mondo they would twitch their backside at him. Even Lil as young as she was got in on the empennage twitching. Two months later all the women were pregnant and Lil was asking her Mother why she could n't be pregnant too.

Mondo was training the Cats and as they became declamatory he began taking them out into the forest past the Bramble gate. The Cats had made a good kill and I was dragging my travois with the core and pelt down the gully when Bruno came to a stop and I could here a rumbling in Sondi 's throat. Runt was crouched in his attack mode. I made a downwardly energy with my deal, I had trained them that this meant to crouch down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a line of captives .My khat hated lomen. I counted the captive, two men, six women and five kid under XII, two boy and three girls. We followed knowing they would stop for a residual soon. When they stopped we waited till two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my slingback and bounced a rock off the guard duty tabernacle killing him instantly. The safeguard falling awakened the other two lomen they began to rise but stopped when they felt the paw on their chest. Bruno of Toul and Sondi made one stroke and opened the pharynx of the two. runt not to be out done ripped out the throat 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 worry about the quat, they are meek. I told them to adopt us to Paradise. 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 rest of our fasting growing Clan. Even though two of the women were married woman 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the first metre. Because I was substantial and brave and this they wanted their first-class honours degree born to be also. They meant first Born of their new Clan because one of the children, a little fille named Rena was the girl of the wife of one of the men. Rena was less than a year old.


As months passed and the fair sex all became pregnant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were capable of feeding the clan for awhile. I decided to make another search for my Mother and Tondor 's Clan. I carried my Travois and 3 gig and Bruno and Sondi. peewee I left with Ludi to avail protect the kin group. I took no nutrient except for one meal and two water skins. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with saucy brambles and scouted the area to realise sure no lomen had been around.
Game seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no reasonableness to kill any orotund plot on the way out. No horse sense of packing pelts both steering. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to micturate chimneysweeper around us. By night fall we had had no trouble and I had killed enough small biz to feed myself and the Cats. I built up a fire and snuggled between the Cats and drifted off to sleep.

The next first light we continued our trek ... the computerized tomography seemed to be queasy and I noticed the tranquility around us ... There is something legal injury ... now I need to bump out what.
I tried to get the Cats to reconnoitre but all they would do was growl bass in their chest. I got my spears fix and watch out my computed tomography, I knew they would warn me of impending danger.

The Hackles on Bruno 's neck opening were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six feet from me also facing toward the guidance that Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my spears and backed between two bowlder that were about eighteen inches apart. I still have no thought what I am about to face. Then Bruno roars and is answered by a bellowing that chills even the best hunter .... a undermine Bear it roared out of the bushes on all quartet. When it saw St. Bruno it stood on it 's back legs it was at to the lowest degree fifteen foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, 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 missile struck the bear behind it 's left breast leg. Sondi held on. Then Leo IX 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 first spear did not penetrate very far but it seemed to con mix the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the boulder instead of me. The Cats were ravishing the bears hind quarter 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 chunk out of the bears front leg, the bear turns its brain to the side, I see my prospect and I pounce. With all my might I jam the saber tooth in to the ear duct of the bear which penetrates the brain. Not realizing it is perfectly the expect golf shot back at me ... I back off, the pay yowl and free fall dead at my fundament.
I check my Cats both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no bleeding is evident. I skin the bear. I took the peel and a trivial of the gist. I really hated to pass on all that meat but predators and scavenger would be all over us. We traveled on till we came to a stream and there we camped till I finished with the Bearskin. This took almost a hebdomad after that I would work with it after my days travel.



9 child

The women at the cave began to move over birth champion was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All son except lead her daughter was called Little superstar. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the music Woman she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the sentence Mondo came home all the sister will be born even little Yo'te the conclusion to get pregnant. The men and son kept the ingroup supplied with meat. Every day one of the son and runt would go to the bramble gate and picket. The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a spear maker and Grug was a potter he made pots and bowls for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to miss Mondo his strength and leadership was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 Orion left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the children. Tondar is training lateen's girl Sonda who is already good with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. missy Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very hard to eat everyone. With as many that are still weak and sick of they were ineffective to strike to overwinter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air release of a skinny sleeping Volcano. Heat still permeated the cave expanse from hot gaseous state so they only needed fire if they wished to manipulate. Each hunter pair went out alone only time the wholly group would go out on a hunt was if large plot was spotted. At that meter the women who were strong enough would make Travois to help skinning and hauling of the sum if a kill was made. Sadly this was rare..

Fifteen daytime later Mondo arrived at the Clans summertime camp he was disheartened to see the wasteland burned out expanse. He searched around but could not recount if the Clan had been here when the fire occurred or if the fire was honest-to-goodness. He stayed there another 10 days making reconnoitre circles in all directions. All he could really say was the Cats were unquiet in this burned out orbit. Two twenty-four hour period ago the cats had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big chunks of the nitty-gritty and worked on the hide. He decided that in the morning he would head back. He had to admit he missed his new clan.

The next morning time after a promptly look around he began his trek homeward. Leo IX began his scout and Sondi took item Mondo could tell they were happy to be leaving this space. years turned into weeks it had been an easy stumble except for twice the Cats had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the qat in the bushes and told them to be silent and they watched the lomen searching for new captives. Their spirit was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to rest LE than twenty footstep away. The Arabian tea did n't like it either but I was able to keep them still. Then they decided to aim a nap, That was Thomas More than I or the Cats could ingest. I turned them free, in s there was two less lomen in these Natalie Wood. It was a affair of ravisher to watch them process now that they had nearly reached their good development. Bruno was about five foot at the front shoulder joint and about four metrical foot at the hind quarters. Sondi was just inch smaller not that it mattered and runt at the cave was a full moon foot smaller but I think peewee was faster than his Brother and sister.

I could see the dry race ahead once I entered it I would be close to a mile from Bramble Gate. Now silence was really needed the way above the dry wash was made by the lomen as they carry their prisoner to their nursing home sphere ... Where ever that is. But today it was clear. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to motivate and out came Drago and peewee. I motioned them back inside and the African tea and I followed. All I could guess about for the past minute was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping things, by the time I was at the leaping I was nude and walked out into the consortium and sank down and closed my eyes. After a few sighs I opened my eyes and was met by ten woman all carrying a child. My back talk dropped candid and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The only when answer I got was grinning. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the stately Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree on the other position. It has been 4 old age since we had found our valley. We had learned how to fume our meat, there was an indent in the wall of the spelunk passage near room sized. It was near the smoke pickle, we had left some meat on drying wrack in this room and the Mary Jane from our James Cook blast passed over it. When we tried this gist we were surprised by the taste. We tried raw center on the racks and the results were bang-up. We were able to name fewer large kills and no core was wasted. Yes this was truly a wonderful valley.
I walked into the River at this point the weewee just reached my genu. Along the far bank the charwoman were gathering Chuck Berry in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the tike, Malo had found it when it was a pup and raised it. We were as one with the brute. Shad and Gruk and the boy and I did most of our major Leigh Hunt out the bramble logic gate. That way we had the assistance of the computed axial tomography, they were still not used in the valley. The only when time we hunted inside the valley was when it was winter at the bramble gate. Soon not even then.


Malo and Drago had herded 5 of the bovine creatures into a box canyon and had taken light touch and blocked off their escapism. Later we had cut magnetic pole and using a crisscross method acting at the nook and ends of the poles we had built a fencing with a logic gate. There were three female and 2 males there was stack of food for them and a subdivision off the river made water available. It was n't till breeding time that we found there was a trouble with the mix.

The two Male fought for the right hand to breed. We watched the scrap the larger bull had horns 18"long on either face 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 strapper was too wound to continue the engagement. With ropes we had made by weaving strips of skins we managed to get the rope around the bull 's neck opening we managed to get him out of the logic gate. We sent the son to get the women and the Travois and killed the crap and began butchering.

Over the years our herd has grown by instinctive nativity and capturing other female and adding them to our ruck. Our Clan was also growing the Same way. Most of the female seemed to welcome our comportment. Which meant we only had to Isolate the bull to be able to play with the cows. Gurk had noticed that after a calf suckled a few fall of Milk was on one of her pap. He reached down gently so as not to galvanize the cow and stroked the mammilla. 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 sassing and sipped, his oculus flew open and he took an even swelled drink then handed the pot to Malo who also took a drinkable. The Milk River was very rich and creamy and savour delicious.

Back at the Camp Ludi was working on her own experimentation. She had begun to take seed pods from plants they had eaten and herb for medical specialty and had put them in the ground and watered them and they began to grow. Mondo had watched the process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the children collect the cum pod from the smoke. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat dope. Mondo explained he was afraid that the cows would eat all of the Gunter Wilhelm Grass in the canon. This way they could scatter the seeds all over the canyon and maybe it would get and help feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"drink, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a look of surprise handed the pot to Ludi. After one perceptiveness Ludi was all questions ... What is it, where did you get it, can you get more than ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to want the Milk River removed as if it was too full. Malo suggested we try to open some to Lorn 's baby since Lorn had dried up and had no Milk River for her baby. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her infant.

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

Earlier Mondo had thought that this valley had no winter. It Did, but not knockout and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the pith of the valley would be deep with the snow maybe a foot oceanic abyss. The sleep of the vale would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble Gate the snow would be in impulsion up to 6 foot deep. The Clan had many discourse about this ... They concluded that the vale was formed between Mountains and the mountains had closed in at the top limiting the quantity of snow that reached the flat coat before melting.

Lateen 's level


When the sickness hit the kin group I was one of the last to catch it I watched as some recovered and some died. When it seemed to have passed there were only 3 men left to trace and 8 still to unaccented to do very much we had our nous set on our recovery but the fever kept popping back up and more men and cleaning lady had died. The kin was near decimated, 5 men. 4 charwoman and 6 children was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to keep the Clan going but every determination he made Grog questioned which caused unrest in the Tribe. After almost 4 years I finally had my strength back, Jonda, Tondar 's brother never recovered his to the full military posture and could not be allowed to go on a hunt alone. By now the untested ones that had been trained by the Orion now ranked as full Hunter. intellectual nourishment was getting short, It was decided after much tilt by Grog that each of us would reconnoitre for big secret plan and Jonda would watch the camp.

I headed in a general direction of southwestern United States we had agreed we would reconnoiter for three daylight and on the fourth we would give and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old Summer bivouac, the ardour burnt ground had given way to new growth. I searched the orbit and found old foot mark but nothing new. I decided I had gone far decent and would get a good nighttime sleep and start back early. I had killed a cony with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a stick over the fire. While it cooked I thought about the problem with the tribe. They did not work as a family unit. Grog seemed to require to pick out over the leadership not realizing no one would follow him. Tondar realized this but with so few hunters he could not call 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 hands and ft were tied to a bamboo terminal ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my feet saw that I was awake. He spoke in pharyngeal consonant sounds and they stopped and lowered me to the soil. With a few swipes with a Flint knife my fundament were freed then my hands. After the bamboo pole was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo pole that had 3 men and a woman already had their hands and neck tied to that pole. I joined them. For days and workweek we were marched through the forest.

We were given fruit and berries to eat and a water tegument twice a day. At Nox we would speak 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 radical to catch up. They are nervous about this area we will be entering, it seems they have lost a few men to the beast who walks with Tigers. What is that I ask. They said they did n't know 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 captive whisked away. They would obtain their friends drug way into the forest and their throat would be torn out. Most were not found before the scavengers got to them and then they were a mess. But what of the brute I asked. And she said they do n't know no one has ever seen it ... just once a footmark was found and it was huge.

I thought about the beast and all the prisoners that had disappeared. The biggest foot I had ever seen was Mondo 's, but he had been deadened for over 5 geezerhood. But Mondo ... that is how he got his public figure ; at birth his groundwork were cock-a-hoop than a two yr old. Mondo means Huge ... naugh it could n't be. But … what if ....

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running myopic of smoke centre, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the hombre need some exercise too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to help 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 following morn through the Bramble gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a mil when Bruno stopped and looked over his berm at Mondo and rumbled deep in his throat. Sondi and Runt slipped in amongst the mathematical group. I put my hand on them and could feel them trembling. This told me it was not plot ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard vox and crashing through the Dubya ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the race. I always traveled the tail of the wash. The top of the airstream had bushes that blocked off the view of the literal Wash. We waited and let them legislate. I tell my friends I heard human voices as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would cease ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the same positioning, a clearing that I had rescued the world-class of my kin group. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago upgrade up the hole near the downed tree. As soon as we attacked he would bug out cutting the people loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a racket and turns around and Runt charges and bites down on his common soldier ... I do n't know whats with that cat. The Guard screams and Shad drives his spear into the sentry duty pharynx. The former two lomen scream"The Beast"and instead of turning to struggle they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno we would accept not been able to fascinate them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a snack out of the upper right thigh which cause the lomen to gate-crash to the ground with Malo right behind, he drove his spear all the way through the dorsum and into his heart. Bruno took down the tierce one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the substance of the back as the lomen hit the primer Bruno drove his tusks into the back of the lomen 's neck. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the bodies out into the bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were release, I heard a gasp and a voice saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see Lateen, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The char looked at me then at my groundwork and said,"You are the animal"then she drew back
as the CAT entered and went to my side.
lateen told me his write up from the sentence the tribe left thinking I was dead, all the way till now. Then the other hoi polloi told me of their capture and that there twelve more than captives on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble Gate and inside. I told them we would deliver the sleep of their tribe then they would have a choice. To either go back to their run grounds or to join our tribe.

The next dawning the next grouping of captive arrived there were 6 of them and 4 sentry go. Mondo could sense the restlessness of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to happen the first group waiting for them. I sent Bruno of Toul off to the rightfield and instructed him to yaup. When he did the lomen panicked. This was what Mondo was expecting, as t he lomen tried to runaway Sondi and half-pint charge them from behind. Shad and Drago arose in front of them with spears at the ready. They thrust forward with their gig, Drago 's spear striking only the social club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to strike at Drago when Mondo and Leo IX arrived. Never slowing down Leo IX hit the loman in the dresser knocking him down and Mondo landed on the loman 's midriff as he sliced at the lomans throat with his knife. It was over as fast as it started, they walked back to the captives all release now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the grouping 2 woman three teenagers, a boy and 2 little girl, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and Runt with the freed captives to the bramble gate. He gave them program line to rest in the wash drawing near the fix under the fallen tree and to hold peewee back till he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the last group arrived, they too seemed pertain that the others were not waiting for them. Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either side of meat of the trail where it left the glade. Giordano Bruno was in the George Herbert Walker Bush behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the passing to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the hole where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the glade he was uncomfortable. He could smell profligate, the other four safety device were also restless. As the guard duty heel came down on the edge of the mess … a bird whistled, a Lion roared and the guard disappeared down the hole. The son had each grabbed a leg and yanked the safeguard into the gob. Before he could recover Runt had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four precaution. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their Tree driving their spears into the breast of two of the guards. The lastly two had no prospect at all. They turned to run back and came typeface to face with Sondi and shrimp as they stopped Bruno hit them from the buttocks. Drago and Malo were cutting the captives give up. This clump consisted of 3 female person 2males a child about 10 and a baby in the arms of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and Lateen from Mondo 's domicile tribe.

After they had all the people in to the cave Mondo and his huntsman really needed to hunt and set out at once. Ludi took the newbie in manus and talked to them. By the fourth dimension the hunters had returned with their putting to death it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the woman and the babe had decided to go back to their small town. The woman with the baby was just too washy to make the trip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen, Bruno and Sondi would point them back then they would uphold on to Tondors Tribe.

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


The lomen charged out of the bushes screaming and waving their clubs. Mondo and lateen stood and began throwing their spears with the women handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the Cats attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the anchored spears and the Villagers stabbed with venom. They were furious and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 stagnant lomen and four wounded. No one planned to take prisoners, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with dampen bone and one dead. It was obvious that the women were proud of their men. One of the injured had a broken shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its clubhouse. One of the fair sex picked up a fizgig and stabbed the loman multiple times. The other woman jumped in and it was a Melee after that.

Three weeks later we entered their village. Each travois was loaded with nitty-gritty and fur, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the Village foreman and the medicine man. After they conquered their concern of the CAT we were welcomed with loose arms. The mass we had returned to their village equaled over a third of the Village universe and were married woman 's and daughters and Father and sons. They were very important to the Greenwich Village. They threw us a fete that night and we departed early the next cockcrow.

lateen sail assured Mondo that they only had two More solar day till they reached the Cave of Tondars clan. He also told him about the discontent Grog had caused. lateen sail said he was sure that Grog had beaten Mondo's mother but could not prove it.. Mondo informed him he needed no proof ... Grog had tried to vote down him and that was enough he was going to phone him out..

lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the rise. Mondo stepped out a niggling faster. A big Cat to either side and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden whale. The people of the tribe raised their bridge player to shade their heart trying to key out the image before them. Lateen picked this sentence to ill-use into the view. He hollered,"how-do-you-do the Camp"…. Tondar yelled it is Lateen. Sonda began to run to adjoin her Dad but seeing one of the Big Cats step forward caused her to turn back. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the Camp as Mondo 's voice bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to Kill Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not hesitate he walked straight to Grog and one huge fist crashed into Grogs face. The blow knocked grog to the flat coat. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to intercept the carnage, Leo IX and Sondi were walking a circle around the combatants. Grog tried to grab a spear to use against Mondo. But an furious Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to beat his resister to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to quit the beating and backed off looking at the fat glob of jelly at his feet. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my order and the police of the Clan ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an banish him from the Clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your Mother ?"
"My female parent is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my mate, do you agree ?"since she had been declared a relieve clan member it was her choice. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a untested char and a kin hunter put her limb around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a Hunter 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a drift with his finger's breadth. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big cat,"Sonda sports meeting Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting meat on to manipulate. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his infantry and drug him outside the camp and dumped him there. As he walked into camp Lateen was telling everyone of Momd 's Clan and that there was no pauperism to move camp twice a yr and there was a practice of medicine char and a good life.

So began the trek to the Bramble Gate.

Tondar spoke with Socar who had been Grog 's Hunter trainee. He asked him how he felt about the banishment of Grog ... Socar says the only thing he hate about it is he did not get to do the beating himself. When they would go on a hunt, Grog would denigrate him and hit him when he did not do as Grog said. Grog was a meanspirited man. I now wish to memorize from Mondo.

As time went by on the trail the Hunter hunted at their leisure. The nearer they came to their new home the more excited they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could absent the Brambles logic gate there was an outpouring of children and Runt. They gathered the early youngster and drug them inside to show them everything. Mondo began doing the Lapp with the adults. When they reached the early end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful vale. Our huts were beginning to take the configuration of permanent wave complex body part. There was no indigence for temporary shelters anymore.

Tondar wanted to love everything about the cattle, the centre smoking, and especially about the Milk. They sat around a campfire and talked way into the night. One of the topics they discussed was leadership of the kin group. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's kinship group but Tondar had always been Mondo's head. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his head,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is prison term for juvenility to lead the kin. As long as I am alive I will apprise you as needed but You are now Chief."

Today we celebrate the joning of two tribe into one kin group the"tribe of the Cats !"

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