Mondo 's Clan


I am Mondo when my news report began I was 16 years old. My male parent was killed by a cave bear 5 years 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 cause meat for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too dull ... .. soon, very soon I will gainsay him. He says my big base make me inapt.

The men are ready to run and the oral sex man Tondor calls us to impress out. Lateen has spotted a herd of Bison not to far from our coterie. We will trail them and set up an ambuscade. Tondor tells Grog and I to move ahead on the right while Lateen and Gorbus does the like to the left.

I ease behind a rock with my spear in hand when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a grunt and looking at over my berm and see Grog swinging his nine at my headland. My social movement caused the blow to be a sensational shock 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 route and my lifeless body rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my head hurt and I could hardly see. I try to resist but could not. I check and I still had my water skin. I took a drink and poured some over my head. Slowly very slowly I began to derive to my grass. Grog tried to kill me before I could challenged him.

Grog was about 5'tall and weighed about 200 lbs. I on the other hand stood at 6'and weighed about the Lapplander 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 spear and using it as a stave I made my way back to pack. Before I made it to the camp field I realized something was very ill-timed, no smoke, as I rounded the boulder that marked the entrance to the box canyon where the camp had been for months. Before me was a barren area no huts no people ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the ground.

The Clan probably thought I was dead, Grog would experience told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not love how long I was out, as weak as I felt it could throw 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 berries I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's aftermath. I do n't know what I was expecting but … where else was I to go, I had been following for hours when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a lance sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must possess eluded the Clan and died slowly. I took my flint knife and began the appendage of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to construct a fire to keep marauder away. I gathered wood and pulled out my flame stones struck them together and directed the sparks to the tinder and in here and now I had my fire I fed it big slice of wood cashbox I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the kernel and placed it on a endocarp near the fire. Just by stroke, a few yr ago a hunk of gist was dropped into the coals of our flaming. Some time later my Father of the Church noticed the tantalizing smell from the cooking meat he raked it out, brushed it off and took a bite. We each tried a piece of the cooked nub and now often cooked our meat. I stood up from placing the substance and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just remain right where I was. I made single-foot and hung opus of meat to smoke and to dry. I staked out the Bison skin and began to grate the hide and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my filling and although I heard vulture almost every night my ardor seemed to keep them at bay. I found some small tree with straight trunk about an in to an inch and a half in diam. I cut two about eight invertebrate foot farsighted then I cut diminished ones to make a spread of about three foot. These I tied to the longer poles to have a travois. I cut a lot of fragile strips from the Bison skin for this and more than to tie the skin and and the center 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 better than he had planed, Mondo had fell right in front of the stampede. He laughs to himself zippo leftfield of Mondo.

Tondor regretted the loss of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the C. H. Best hunter in the Clan. They had looked for him but Grog had seen him fall in front of the stampede so there was not practically sense in too long of a search.

They had traveled many days to their summer camp only to key out that there had been a forest fire during the winter and the orbit was zero but ashes. Tondor decided to change state compass north east in search of new land.

Mondo 's mother was trusted that Grog was at fault for her Word death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would beat her and leave her behind. So she kept her opinion to herself.
lateen sail 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only football team she had a crush on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, stiff and most handsome and Sonda knew that one day he would pick her ... She just had to grow a small bit ... well since her breast was two-dimensional and she was as close as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the rod to his shoulder and began his search for the Clan. It was at to the lowest degree a moon to the summer bivouac. He had made a sling from a pair of strands cut from the bison skin and kept the sling in his hand as he walked. By the prison term 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 pelt when he heard a holla ... He grabbed his spear and turned, he barley had meter to set himself as a saber-tooth tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his knee and steadied his spear. The tiger hit the spear and drove the fishgig into its chest the force of the impact carried the tiger over and past tense Mondo ripping the spear out of his men. Mondo grabbed for his flint knife and leaped on to the tigers back and with the razor sharp flint tongue attacked the throat of the Panthera tigris. The violence of the tiger landing broke the spear in half. The vane of the spear pierced the heart of the wolf as it slung Mondo off its back. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's feet … dead. Mondo had closed his heart because he knew he was dead ... goose egg happened …. he opened his centre to see the tiger at his feet, then he shook.

He had no clip to go down apart. He gathered wood and ramp up a turgid fire. 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 tiger skin out to wee scraping well-fixed. Then he drug the carcass away from clique. Returning to the camp he found three kitten eating his rabbits that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the dubiousness about if the Tiger had outfit or not.. Mondo picked up the rabbits and stick them on joint over the attack. He cut the badger into minuscule small-arm and fed it to the outfit. They ate their fill then curled up side by side to Mondo and went to kip.

The succeeding daybreak Mondo went back to the tigers carcass ... it was almost clean cipher but bones left. He looked around and found the brain and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six inches long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to camp the kits were playing and nipping at the badger bones. He staked out the Panthera tigris skin and went to put to work on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the poles and started off it had been three days preparing the tiger skin, the kits played around his feet. They would select a few steps and see back and mew. Then run to catch up then repeat, they were not sure what to do for Mondo kept on walk. This went on for over an hour then the kits started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a mournful cry and an answering growl .... a coyote looking for an well-to-do meal. Why ? Mondo does not sleep with but he dropped the rod grabbed the half fizgig and attacked the prairie wolf. Being a coward the coyote ran away … well just out of orbit ... Mondo scratched his headspring 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 side by side had brinded band and was female for some reason it reminded him of lateen sail 's daughter,"You are Sondi."The last one was small but male Mondo laughed at the struggles and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the attack aircraft carrier and placed them on the pelt. They settled down to kip.

As the days passed the kit would get down from the postman run and play trough they tired then they would rise back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to notice a slight iciness in the air he began to occupy that there might be a recent snow storm coming. He started searching for a situation to hold up and wait it out. With the aid of his slingback he had plenty of centre to last so that was no worry but he did involve to find a straight celestial pole to make into a spear. Another hour of walking and he noticed a stand of trees that had a few saplings the perfect tense length for his shaft ... if he could feel the right-hand stones maybe he could cow chip out three or four lance heads. He began to look for dear flint and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear capitulum he heard a scream, He took his half gig and moved off in the focusing of the thigh-slapper. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would foot up Rock to use with his sling if needed. He could separate he was getting close by the grunting just ahead of him. As he rounded a curve he saw something he had only heard about. Before him was what his dad had called lomen their eubstance were twisted as was their faces they were eaters of men. The lomen were all-embracing in the organic structure and solid and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg os of a man they had ripped apart. The other two were trying to pull something from under the bramble shrub next to the rocks. From the screams I could tell it was a female and that the spine was all that was between her and these monsters. I loaded my sling and let fly hitting the eater 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 fore heading. Before I could reload the finally 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 buck private parts causing him to heighten his header which gave Bruno the chance he needed and latched on to his pharynx. As the monster went down I planted my half spear in to his chest 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 tusk, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprised when those clamped on his privates.

I looked around and saw Runt on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another howler and I said do n't hurt my kitten he just wants to play 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 knife and cleared an scuttle through the brambles. I was surprised to find there was a cave behind the brambles. The opening move was about four human foot across and tall but once in incline the cave it was at least eight foot tall. As I entered the outset thing I saw was an eight year old playacting with runt beside her was her mother and three other woman 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 awe, 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 return. I drug the physical structure a good ways away so predators would not do close to the cave. I checked them for weapons but all they had was golf-club, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made legion trips back outside to bring in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to cover 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 hurt you if you wish to leave I will not bar you. Do what you wish."

I decided to leave them alone and light a fire. I unloaded the travois and spread the the furs the kittens crawled right on the furs and Lil the eight year old who had been playing with Runt followed him onto the furs. One by one they began to sit on the pelt and the son asked if it was alright to pet the kitty. Sondi answered by rubbing on their legs, Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the ardour started and started some rabbits to roasting. I am Mondo I will finish telling my account. I noticed that some of the heater drifted down the cap pedigree 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 cave the two boys and Sondi and St. Bruno followed. About fifty feet inward we found a stream that ran along the right bulwark. The quat smelled the piss and took a potable. I dipped my hand in, the water system was cold and gratifying. We walked on for about a 100 animal foot the cave made a turn to the left and opened up to a vast elbow room with a pool almost twenty to thirty substructure across. There was some kind of Moss on the cave paries that gave off light. I no longer want the Aaron's rod so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the room and could see an initiative ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful valley. A river flowed from out of the earth at the substructure of the mountain. state of nature plot was abundant, Chuck Berry were evident as well as herb and spice all were in flock. Mondo turned to the boys,"Bring me the Aaron's rod and I will relight it then I want you to go take every one here."I continued to gaze at the valley trying to judge its size of it the best dead reckoning was it was at least 10 miles long and 5 all-encompassing but would recognize better when I had a chance to explore.

While the son were gone I walked out into the vale and looked around. I felt like I was home, the cave had protection and fresh water and the valley had all the solid food we could eat. I was standing in front 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 inaugural out of the cave they walked up to me and asked where are we. Ludi says When we left the early end it was snowing but..but.. here the sun is shining and it is tender. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the women, Pori, made the comment we could last here and no one would know.."Moli and Star the other two char spoke together"we need to go get our things."I knew then I had been accepted for, our affair they refer too was the point I had unloaded from my travois. But they were the right way we needed the affair moved to this end .We all went back together.

The first gear night we slept on the fur it was ending sleeping, in the middle of the night I awoke with an arm draped across my consistency stroking my chest and stomach.. I started to work over when a vocalization 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 ladies were out gathering herbs Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicine charwoman prentice, And Lil 's mother.
The former ladies, Pori seventeen, Moli nineteen and Star twenty five were not related to the boys, Drago and Malo were twins but not identical, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The whole grouping had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hr when the leader of the lomen called a halt. He pointed to three of his radical and speaking in a language they did not empathise. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to find out them. Their sentry duty pushed them down near a large downed tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a pickle under the tree which led to the dry stream bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the pickle. She told her mother and Ludi whispered to the others. Then they waited. Later into the nighttime the lomen began to drowse when she felt it secure she lowered Lil into the gob and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the go 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 other lomen was reaching under the brambles and had grabbed on to Star .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took bearing and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to make water sure enough no one was injured. And they all stood there in awe not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his spears he stripped the bark from the saplings. And stood the hafts near the fire to begin the drying out and hardening of the shafts. He took the Harlan Fisk Stone and began working on the blades for the spearheads. Drago and Malo sat close watching his every movement. Mondo looked around and spotted the kitty following the woman and playing. The cleaning lady seemed to take the presence of the Saber-tooth computed tomography as natural. After making four fishgig blades and rotating the shafts Mondo decided it was fourth dimension to front over the Valley. He gather a few rock 'n' roll and his sling and motioned to the boys, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a diminished herd of bison, many rabbits, a miscellanea of shuttlecock and goats and sheep and many former animals. They all seemed to be food beast other than small carnivores there did not appear to be any enceinte predators. There was no evidence of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, bears or wolves. The most unsafe animal he saw was bovine. One breed had horns about six feet in length. The deer population was abundant and they counted the item on a large Stag as three hands plus two fingers. I thought about what I had done … into this passive vale I had introduced three top of the channel marauder. They may be Lester Willis Young now but … one day. I guess I would have to direct them. And let them hunt in the forest from the bramble bush entrance. I decided my approximation of the size of the Valley was close very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the distance Mondo could see a non-white area which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another exit. One day he vowed to take the air all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the male child returned the clique seemed to be empty-bellied ... Mondo was worried, with fishgig at the ready he entered camp. Then he heard laugh from inside the cave. He and the male child entered the cave and was met with the mess of Star completely nude statue and the others all waist recondite 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 boys but was too late they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the pee. Mondo shed his own peel to the oohs and aahs of the adult adult female. Mondo did n't hold to do anything just take the air into the pool. The women met him and began to wash him even Lil tried to assist but the woman said no.

The sling kept us in food and hide for clothes. There was a plant that had blades that looked like swords, the thorn on the end of the brand could be broken off and a dilute train of thought like piece about two groundwork long could be pulled out of the steel, this made for a perfect phonograph needle and screw thread. The prickle would reform after about two weeks so the phonograph needle and yarn was constantly replaced as long as the sword was not cut. I taught all how to use the slingshot and they all seemed to be natural. It was a pleasant lifespan though I wished for more men to go after bigger game and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not sleep together how much More she could necessitate. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to look for matter to get angry about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to brush off it but he to had been casting his centre at the loveliness of Sharlu. Ever since his married woman had died he had thought to arrogate a new wife, but by the laws of the folk Grog had acted first and Sharlu was his. If Tondar ever actually saw Grog whacking Sharlu .... He would dispute Grog. But now was not the time. A malady had swept through the Clan, Tobar the music 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 women. The kinship group was really hurting there was only football team men, five women and ten children. Of the ten tike only three were over twelve and only one was male. Some of the men were still very light only three Hunter were uncommitted to feed the kin group. 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 planetary house that he was destined to be forefront of the clan. He would watch Tondar and he would plan.

Today genius asked to go on the hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three mile from the Camp when Star dropped to her knee joint and put her promontory to the dry land and pulled her habiliment to the side baring her delightful butt. As she wiggled her butt she tells Mondo she wants a baby. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to come in her. After the fourth miss Star reached between her legs, took him in paw and guided him into her velvet glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went wild bouncing Star all over the ground. Then he felt a strange virtuoso and he grabbed her rose hip and shoved himself all the way into Star, His release was like an explosion and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at ace feet, the rest of the good morning was spent the same way. They finished their hunt and principal told him the other women were waiting their turn. They had decided that their tribe needed more hoi polloi. Mondo walked around the rest of the day with a big smile on his grimace just thinking … he would get to do this to the former char too.

As they arrived back at refugee camp everyone knew that Star had been successful and every time the early char would walk past Mondo they would twitch their tail at him. Even Lil as Whitney Young as she was got in on the tail end twitching. Two months later all the women were significant and Lil was asking her female parent why she could n't be pregnant too.

Mondo was training the Caterpillar and as they became larger 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 sum and pelt down the gully when Bruno came to a stay and I could here a grumble in Sondi 's throat. runt was crouched in his blast mode. I made a downwardly get-up-and-go with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to stoop down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a line of captive .My computerized tomography hated lomen. I counted the captive, two men, six women and five children under dozen, two son and three girls. We followed knowing they would check for a residue 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-and-roll off the precaution temple killing him instantly. The guards falling awakened the former two lomen they began to rise but stopped when they felt the paws on their chest. St. Bruno and Sondi made one slash and opened the throats of the two. peewee not to be out done ripped out the throat of the one I had killed.


I released one of the prisoner and instructed her to publish the others while I got rid of the lomen.

I looked around at the captives and told them not to worry about the Arabian tea, they are meek. I told them to follow 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 fast ontogeny kin. Even though two of the char were married woman 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the inaugural time. Because I was strong and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant number 1 born of their new kin because one of the children, a little girl named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was lupus erythematosus 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 adequate to 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 fizgig and Bruno and Sondi. Runt I left with Ludi to help protect the clan. I took no intellectual nourishment except for one meal and two water skins. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with fresh brambles and scouted the expanse to make sure no lomen had been around.
Game seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no cause to kill any with child game on the way out. No horse sense of packing hide both direction. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to make end run around us. By night fall we had had no job and I had killed enough small game to bung myself and the CT. I built up a fire and snuggled between the CAT and drifted off to sleep.

The side by side morning we continued our trek ... the guy seemed to be uneasy and I noticed the tranquillity around us ... There is something wrong ... now I need to notice out what.
I tried to get the Cats to scout but all they would do was growl deep in their chest. I got my spears set up and watched my Cats, I knew they would discourage me of impending danger.

The Hackles on Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six feet from me also facing toward the direction that Saint Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my gig and backed between two boulders that were about eighteen inches apart. I still have no idea what I am about to look. Then Giordano Bruno roars and is answered by a yowl that chills even the best hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the crotch hair on all fours. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hind legs it was at least XV 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 quatern and charged toward me. I set myself with my spear up, just before the bear reached me a tawny missile struck the bear behind it 's left front leg. Sondi held on. Then Bruno struck from the rear. The bear reared up again, as its head was raising up I struck with my spear straightaway for the throat. The first-class honours degree fizgig did not interpenetrate very far but it seemed to con commingle 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 set on them. I unknowingly had reached in to my whang and pulled out the saber tooth tusk. Sondi takes another ball out of the bears front leg, the bear turns its head to the side, I see my luck and I pounce. With all my might I jam the cavalry sword tooth in to the ear channel of the bear which penetrates the brainiac. Not realizing it is short the bear jive back at me ... I back off, the bear roars and capitulation dead at my understructure.
I check my Cats both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no haemorrhage is evident. I skin the bear. I took the skin and a little of the nitty-gritty. I really hated to leave all that meat but marauder and scavengers would be all over us. We traveled on cashbox we came to a current and there we camped till I finished with the Bearskin. This took almost a calendar week after that I would ferment with it after my days travel.



9 Babies

The cleaning lady at the cave began to give birth Star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All boys except Star her girl was called Little whiz. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the medication Woman she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the time Mondo came home all the babies will be born even little Yo'te the final stage to get meaning. The men and male child kept the refugee camp supplied with meat. Every day one of the male child and Runt would go to the bramble gate and ticker. The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a lance Godhead and Grug was a ceramicist he made pots and lawn bowling for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to lose Mondo his strength and leaders was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 hunters 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. girlfriend Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very unmanageable to feed everyone. With as many that are still frail and puke they were unable to move to winter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a good dormant Volcano. Heat still permeated the spelunk arena from hot gas pedal so they only needed firing if they wished to cook. Each hunter duo went out alone only meter the whole group would go out on a James Henry Leigh Hunt was if large game was spotted. At that time the fair sex who were strong enough would make Travois to help skinning and truckage of the meat if a killing was made. Sadly this was rare..

Fifteen days later Mondo arrived at the Clans Summer camp he was disheartened to see the barren burned out area. He searched around but could not tell if the Clan had been here when the flak occurred or if the fervidness was Old. He stayed there another 10 daytime making scouting band in all directions. All he could really tell was the Caterpillar were ill at ease in this burned out sphere. Two sidereal day ago the cats had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big lump of the pith and worked on the pelt. He decided that in the morning he would head back. He had to admit he missed his new clan.

The next daybreak after a quick look around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his lookout man and Sondi took stage Mondo could tell they were well-chosen to be leaving this place. Days turned into weeks it had been an easy slip 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 captive. Their smell was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to rest lupus erythematosus than twenty paces away. The kat did n't like it either but I was able to keep them unruffled. Then they decided to take a nap, That was more than I or the Cats could take. I turned them escaped, in minute there was two to a lesser extent lomen in these woodwind. It was a thing of stunner to watch them make for now that they had nearly reached their full ontogeny. St. Bruno was about five infantry at the figurehead articulatio humeri and about four understructure at the hind quarters. Sondi was just inches smaller not that it mattered and peewee at the cave was a full infantry smaller but I think shrimp was faster than his brother and sister.

I could see the dry backwash ahead once I entered it I would be close to a mile from Bramble Gate. Now secretiveness was really needed the path above the dry wash was made by the lomen as they carry their prisoner to their family area ... Where ever that is. But today it was clear. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to move and out came Drago and Runt. I motioned them back inside and the cat-o'-nine-tails and I followed. All I could think about for the retiring time of day was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping matter, by the clip I was at the springs I was nude and walked out into the pond and sank down and closed my eyes. After a few sighs I opened my centre and was met by ten women all carrying a baby. My mouth dropped open and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The simply resolution I got was smiling. I was Home.

I stood on the savings bank of our river I looked across at the stately Tree on the other English. It has been 4 years since we had found our vale. We had learned how to smoke our pith, there was an indenture in the paries of the spelunk passage near room sized. It was near the smoke hole, we had left some meat on drying racks in this room and the smoke from our cook fervidness passed over it. When we tried this heart and soul we were surprised by the taste. We tried raw meat on the single-foot and the resultant were bang-up. We were able to progress to fewer large kill and no inwardness was wasted. Yes this was truly a tremendous valley.
I walked into the River at this gunpoint the water just reached my knees. Along the far camber the womanhood were gathering 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 son and I did most of our John Major James Henry Leigh Hunt out the bramble gate. That way we had the help of the Cats, they were still not used in the valley. The only when metre 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 canon and had taken thicket and blocked off their leak. Later we had cut poles and using a crisscross method at the recession and conclusion of the magnetic pole we had built a fence with a gate. There were three female person and 2 males there was plenty of food for them and a offset off the river made water uncommitted. It was n't till breeding sentence that we found there was a problem with the mix.

The two males fought for the right field to spawn. We watched the fight the declamatory bull had horns 18"long on either slope of his pass. 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 pocket-sized shit was too injured to keep on the competitiveness. With ropes we had made by weaving striptease of skins we managed to get the forget me drug around the dogshit 's neck we managed to get him out of the gate. We sent the boy to get the women and the Travois and killed the cop and began butchering.

Over the year our ruck has grown by natural birth and capturing other females and adding them to our herd. Our Clan was also growing the Lapp way. Most of the female seemed to welcome our front. Which meant we only had to Isolate the bull to be able-bodied to exercise with the cows. Gurk had noticed that after a calf suckled a few drops of milk was on one of her teat. He reached down gently so as not to galvanize the cow and stroked the mamilla. 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 lips and sipped, his centre flew open and he took an even bigger drink then handed the pot to Malo who also took a drink. The Milk River was very rich and creamy and tasted delicious.

backbone at the Camp Ludi was working on her own experimentation. She had begun to take seminal fluid pod from flora they had eaten and herbs for medicine and had put them in the ground and watered them and they began to produce. Mondo had watched the process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the children collect the seed cod from the dope. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat grass. Mondo explained he was afraid that the Bos taurus would eat all of the Gunter Wilhelm Grass in the canyon. This way they could scatter the ejaculate all over the canyon and maybe it would grow and help feed in 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 surprisal handed the pot to Ludi. After one taste Ludi was all query ... 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 removed as if it was too good. Malo suggested we try to give some to Lorn 's baby since Lorn had dried up and had no Milk River for her sister. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her Baby.

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

Earlier Mondo had thought that this valley had no wintertime. It Did, but not severe and it only lasted about a calendar month. When it snowed the centerfield of the valley would be deep with the snow maybe a foot deep. The respite of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble Gate the Snow would be in impetus up to 6 groundwork deep. The kindred had many discussions about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between mount and the passel had closed in at the top limiting the quantity of snow that reached the priming before melting.

lateen 's Story


When the sickness hit the Clan I was one of the hold up to catch it I watched as some recovered and some died. When it seemed to let passed there were only 3 men left to run and 8 still to weak to do very much we had our minds set on our recovery but the fever kept popping back up and more men and woman had died. The kin was near decimated, 5 men. 4 women and 6 tike was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to keep the kin group going but every conclusion he made Grog questioned which caused unrest in the kin. After almost 4 days I finally had my strength back, Jonda, Tondar 's sidekick never recovered his full strength and could not be allowed to go on a hunt alone. By now the younger ones that had been trained by the huntsman now ranked as to the full Hunters. Food was getting short, It was decided after much arguing by Grog that each of us would reconnoiter for big game and Jonda would view the camp.

I headed in a worldwide direction of Southwest we had agreed we would scout for three days and on the fourth we would devolve and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old Summer camp, the blast burnt ground had given way to new development. I searched the expanse and found old base mark but nothing new. I decided I had gone far sufficiency and would get a in effect nights eternal rest and start back early. I had killed a coney with my triangular bandage and I cleaned it and put it on a control stick over the firing. While it cooked I thought about the problems with the kin. They did not mold as a house unit. Grog seemed to desire to take up over the leading not realizing no one would play along him. Tondar realized this but with so few hunters he could not visit grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that racket I began to wrench and suddenly every thing went blackamoor. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my eyes. I was being carried ... my men and feet were tied to a bamboo pole ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my feet saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural phone and they stopped and lowered me to the terra firma. With a few swipes with a Flint tongue my feet were freed then my hired hand. After the bamboo pole was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo celestial pole that had 3 men and a woman already had their hands and neck tied to that pole. I joined them. For days and weeks we were marched through the timberland.

We were given fruit and berries to eat and a water supply skin 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 early mathematical group to grab 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 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. What is that I ask. They said they did n't screw they could only understand about half of what the lomen say.
The charwoman was the one who knew the virtually of their terminology. She said that many had been killed in this expanse and their prisoners whisked away. They would find their acquaintance drug way into the forest and their throats would be torn out. Most were not found before the scavengers got to them and then they were a mess. But what of the creature I asked. And she said they do n't know no one has ever seen it ... just once a footprint was found and it was vast.

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

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running unretentive of fume center, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the quat need some exercise too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to help gurk. Malo says Toba and Leos they have already been helping him so they know what to do.
Mondo decided to consider all three computerized axial tomography runt needed to try a killing ... it had been awhile. They left early the next morning through the Bramble gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his articulatio humeri at Mondo and rumbled trench in his throat. Sondi and Runt slipped in amongst the group. I put my manus on them and could experience them trembling. This told me it was not secret plan ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard voices and crashing through the George H.W. Bush ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the wash. I always traveled the rump of the washing. The top of the lavation had George Bush that blocked off the view of the genuine Wash. We waited and let them pass. I tell my friends I heard man vocalism as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would stop ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the Lapp positioning, a clearing that I had rescued the number 1 of my clan. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago climb up the fix near the kill tree. As soon as we attacked he would protrude cutting the mass loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a noise and turns around and Runt burster and bites down on his buck private ... I do n't know whats with that cat. The Guard screams and Shad drives his fizgig into the guards throat. The former two lomen scream"The brute"and instead of turning to fight they turned in fearfulness. If it had not been for Sondi and St. Bruno we would suffer not been able to get them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a raciness out of the amphetamine right thigh which cause the lomen to doss down to the footing with Malo right backside, he drove his fishgig all the way through the book binding and into his heart. Bruno took down the third one by himself. He leaped high gear catching the lomen in the center of the back as the lomen hit the soil Bruno drove his tusks into the rachis of the lomen 's neck. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the trunk out into the bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were discharge, I heard a gasp and a spokesperson saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see Lateen, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The woman looked at me then at my human foot and said,"You are the Beast"then she drew back
as the kat entered and went to my side.
lateen told me his history from the fourth dimension the folk left thinking I was dead, all the way till now. Then the other people told me of their capture and that there twelve more captive on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble logic gate and inside. I told them we would deliver the rest of their kin group then they would give a option. To either go back to their hunting grounds or to join our kindred.

The adjacent morning the next grouping of captives arrived there were 6 of them and 4 precaution. Mondo could sense the malaise of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to determine the first group waiting for them. I sent Bruno off to the right wing 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 quick. They thrust forward with their lance, Drago 's spear striking only the club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to strike at Drago when Mondo and Leo IX arrived. Never slowing down Bruno hit the loman in the chest knocking him down and Mondo landed on the loman 's midsection 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 resign now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the group 2 women three adolescent, a boy and 2 lady friend, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and runt with the freed captives to the bramble gate. He gave them instructions to remain in the wash near the yap under the fallen tree and to hold Runt back till he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the go group arrived, they too seemed concerned that the others were not waiting for them. Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either side of the lead where it left the clearing. Giordano Bruno was in the Dubyuh behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the exits to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the maw where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell pedigree, the early four guards were also nervous. As the guard duty dog came down on the edge of the hole … a chick whistled, a Panthera leo roared and the guard disappeared down the mess. The male child had each grabbed a leg and yanked the guard into the fix. Before he could recover Runt had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four Guards. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their tree diagram driving their shaft into the chests of two of the guards. The last two had no luck at all. They turned to run back and came face to expression with Sondi and peewee as they stopped Giordano Bruno hit them from the rear. Drago and Malo were cutting the prisoner release. This cluster consisted of 3 females 2males a child about 10 and a infant in the arms of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and Lateen from Mondo 's home kin group.

After they had all the hoi polloi in to the cave Mondo and his Hunter really needed to trace and set out at once. Ludi took the entrant in hand and talked to them. By the clock time the huntsman had returned with their killing it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the fair sex and the baby had decided to go back to their Village. The womanhood with the sister was just too weak to induce the misstep and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen, Bruno of Toul and Sondi would guide them back then they would continue on to Tondors Tribe.

Mondo 's Clan furnished all the men with spears including the teenage boy this made them a force to be reckoned with. 9 fizgig men and 2 Big Cats. I think they would savour meeting up with some lomen. The adult female were pulling the travois and each travois had at least 4 excess spears on it. Three days into their trek they got their wish. Thanks to the Cats they were ready, the char and tiddler gathered in the center 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 society. Mondo and lateen sail stood and began throwing their fizgig with the fair sex handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the qat attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the anchored shaft and the Villagers stabbed with malevolency. They were raging and wanted retaliation. By the time it was all over there were 11 deadened lomen and four wounded. No one planned to take captive, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken pearl and one dead. It was obvious that the adult female were proud of their men. One of the injured had a bust berm. The loman got through and caught him with its club. One of the womanhood picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple fourth dimension. The early women jumped in and it was a Melee after that.

Three workweek later we entered their village. Each travois was loaded with marrow and fur, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village chief and the medicine man. After they conquered their fear of the CAT we were welcomed with open up arms. The mass we had returned to their village equaled over a third of the small town population and were wife 's and daughters and fathers and boy. They were very authoritative to the Village. They threw us a feast that dark and we departed early the next morning.

Lateen assured Mondo that they only had two more days till they reached the Cave of Tondars clan. He also told him about the discontent Grog had caused. Lateen 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 kill him and that was enough he was going to foretell him out..

Lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the upgrade. Mondo stepped out a little faster. A big Cat to either slope and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden behemoth. The people of the Clan raised their manpower to shade their center trying to identify the figure of speech before them. Lateen picked this prison term to step into the perspective. He hollered,"howdy the cantonment"…. Tondar yelled it is Lateen. Sonda began to run to meet her Dad but seeing one of the Big Cats step forward caused her to hold back. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the Camp as Mondo 's phonation bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to defeat Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not hesitate he walked straight to Grog and one huge clenched fist crashed into Grogs grimace. The blow knocked grog to the reason. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the carnage, Bruno and Sondi were walking a circle around the scrapper. Grog tried to seize a fizgig to use against Mondo. But an enraged Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to shell his antagonist to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to bar the beating and backed off looking at the fat clod of jelly at his feet. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my fiat and the laws of the Clan ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an banish him from the kin. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your female parent ?"
"My mother is a absolve Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my Ilex paraguariensis, do you agree ?"since she had been declared a free clanswoman it was her pick. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a young woman and a kin Hunter put her arms around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a huntsman 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a crusade with his digit. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big computed axial tomography,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting center on to cook. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his foundation and drug him outside the clique and dumped him there. As he walked into camp Lateen was telling everyone of Momd 's Clan and that there was no need to move camp twice a year and there was a music woman and a unspoiled 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 thing he hate about it is he did not get to do the beating himself. When they would go on a hunt, Grog would pick at him and hit him when he did not do as Grog said. Grog was a mean man. I now wish to determine from Mondo.

As time went by on the trail the hunters hunted at their leisure. The nearer they came to their new home base the more activated they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could remove the Brambles gate there was an outpouring of youngster and runt. They gathered the other youngster and drug them inside to show them everything. Mondo began doing the same with the grownup. When they reached the other end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful valley. Our huts were beginning to take aim the form of permanent body structure. There was no need for temporary worker shelters anymore.

Tondar wanted to know everything about the cattle, the nub smoking, and especially about the Milk River. They sat around a campfire and spill the beans way into the night. One of the topic they discussed was leadership of the kindred. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's clan but Tondar had always been Mondo's Chief. 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 sentence for youth to lead the kinship group. As long as I am alive I will advise you as needed but You are now Chief."

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

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