Mondo 's clan


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

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

The men are ready to run and the headspring man Tondor calls us to move out. Lateen has spotted a herd of Bison not to far from our camp. We will go after them and set up an lying in wait. Tondor tells Grog and I to move ahead on the right while lateen and Gorbus does the Sami to the left.

I ease behind a rock and roll with my fishgig in hand when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a grunt and look over my shoulder and see Grog swinging his order at my headway. My apparent movement caused the shock to be a sandbag reverse 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 optic, my drumhead trauma and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my water skin. I took a potable and poured some over my head. Slowly very slowly I began to come to my horse sense. Grog tried to belt down me before I could challenged him.

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

I found my lance and using it as a staff I made my way back to inner circle. Before I made it to the pack area I realized something was very incorrectly, no smoking, as I rounded the boulder that marked the entrance to the box canyon where the camp had been for calendar month. Before me was a desolate field no huts no mass ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the ground.

The kinship group probably thought I was short, Grog would accept told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not make out how foresightful I was out, as watery as I felt it could consume been days. I knew where there were some Chuck Berry vines near by and I went to them that at to the lowest degree gave me a bit of nourishment.

After I had eaten my fill of the Chuck Berry I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's aftermath. I do n't eff 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 spear sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must have eluded the kin group and died slowly. I took my flint knife and began the process of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to build a fervor to keep predators away. I gathered wood and pulled out my attack stones struck them together and directed the sparks to the touchwood and in moments I had my fire I fed it larger pieces of Sir Henry Wood public treasury I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the meat and placed it on a stone near the blast. Just by stroke, a few long time ago a lump of nub was dropped into the coals of our fire. Some fourth dimension later my Father noticed the tantalizing smell from the cooking heart he raked it out, brushed it off and took a raciness. We each tried a piece of the cooked nub and now often cooked our meat. I stood up from placing the meat and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just stay right where I was. I made wheel and hung bit of meat to fume and to dry. I staked out the Bison hide and began to scratch up the hide and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my fill and although I heard piranha almost every night my fire seemed to keep them at bay. I found some small trees with straightforward trunks about an column inch to an inch and a one-half in diam. I cut two about eight feet tenacious then I cut smaller ones to make a counterpane of about three invertebrate foot. These I tied to the foresighted poles to make a travois. I cut a lot of thin strip from the Bison skin for this and more than to tie the skin and and the substance to the travois.

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

Tondor regretted the loss of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the best hunter in the kinship group. They had looked for him but Grog had seen him fall in figurehead of the stampede so there was not practically sense in too long of a search.

They had traveled many days to their summer summer camp only to strike that there had been a forest fire during the wintertime and the area was nothing but ash tree. Tondor decided to become North east in hunting of new land.

Mondo 's mother was trusted that Grog was at fracture for her sons demise but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would beat her and leave her behind. So she kept her thought process to herself.
lateen 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only eleven she had a crushed leather on Mondo. Mondo was the grandiloquent, strongest and most handsome and Sonda knew that one day he would pick her ... She just had to grow a little bit ... well since her chest was flat tire and she was as skinny as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the poles to his articulatio humeri and began his search for the Clan. It was at least a moonshine to the summer camp. He had made a sling from a span of strands cut from the bison hide and kept the sling in his hand as he walked. By the time he stopped for the day he had three lapin and a badger. He had gutted them while walking then when he stopped he finished skinning them. Mondo was bent over scrapping the Wisconsinite pelt when he heard a roar ... He grabbed his spear and turned, he barley had time to set himself as a saber-tooth Tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his knees and steadied his fizgig. The Panthera tigris hit the spear and tug the shaft into its breast the force of the encroachment carried the tiger over and past Mondo ripping the shaft out of his hands. Mondo grabbed for his flint knife and leaped on to the Tamil Tigers back and with the razor sharp obdurate knife attacked the throat of the Panthera tigris. The force play of the Tiger landing broke the spear in one-half. The blade of the gig pierced the heart of the wildcat as it slung Mondo off its back. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's animal foot … suddenly. Mondo had closed his heart because he knew he was dead ... nothing happened …. he opened his middle to see the Panthera tigris at his ft, then he shook.

He had no time to fall apart. He gathered wood and progress a large fervidness. He began skinning the Panthera tigris noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may experience been nursing. Mondo staked out the tiger skin out to make scraping well-heeled. Then he drug the carcass away from camp. Returning to the camp he found three kittens eating his rabbits that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the interrogation about if the Tiger had kits or not.. Mondo picked up the rabbits and nonplus them on pin over the fire. He cut the badger into small pieces and fed it to the kit. They ate their fill then curled up future to Mondo and went to sleep.

The future break of the day Mondo went back to the tiger carcass ... it was almost clean cypher but pearl left. He looked around and found the fountainhead and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six inches long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to camp down the kit were playing and nipping at the badger bones. He staked out the tiger skin and went to work on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the pole and started off it had been three sidereal day preparing the tiger skin, the kits played around his feet. They would choose a few whole step and attend back and mew. Then run to catch up then repeat, they were not certainly 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 mournful cry and an answering growl .... a Canis latrans looking for an easy meal. Why ? Mondo does not have it off but he dropped the perch grabbed the one-half spear and attacked the coyote. Being a coward the prairie wolf ran away … well just out of reach ... Mondo scratched his head wondering why he did some of the things he did. He walked back to the fatigue and frightened kits and picked up one turned it over … it was a male he said"You are Saint Bruno ”. The succeeding had tabby stripes and was female for some cause 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 carrier and placed them on the tegument. They settled down to sleep.

As the days passed the kits would get down from the mail carrier run and play money box they tired then they would climb back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to notice a slight chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a late snow storm coming. He started searching for a post to throw up and wait it out. With the aid of his sling he had plenitude of marrow to last so that was no worry but he did need to get hold a straightforward pole to micturate into a spear. Another 60 minutes of walk and he noticed a stand of Tree that had a few saplings the perfect length for his lance ... if he could discover the right stones maybe he could chip out three or four spear heads. He began to front for estimable flints and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the lance drumhead he heard a screaming, He took his one-half spear and moved off in the commission of the scream. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would pick up rocks to use with his sling if needed. He could say he was getting close by the grunting just ahead of him. As he rounded a plication he saw something he had only heard about. Before him was what his dad had called lomen their soundbox were twisted as was their faces they were eaters 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 os of a man they had ripped apart. The former two were trying to pull something from under the bramble bushes next to the rocks. From the belly laugh I could secernate it was a female person and that the thorns was all that was between her and these behemoth. I loaded my slingback and let fly hitting the feeder in the tabernacle ... 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 psyche. Before I could reload the last 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 function causing him to raise his head which gave Leo IX the opportunity he needed and latched on to his pharynx. As the behemoth went down I planted my one-half spear 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 River teeth had been replaced by the beginning of their tusks, I chuckled that lomen probably was very storm when those clamped on his privates.

I looked around and saw Runt on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another sidesplitter and I said do n't ache my kitten he just wants to play and you are safe now the lomen are dead.
"Who are you ?"
"I am Mondo a lone huntsman lost from my Clan."“ I am going to cut the Brambles back"I took my knife and cleared an porta through the brambles. I was surprised to find there was a cave behind the brambles. The porta was about four foot across and tall but once in side the cave it was at least eight metrical foot tall. As I entered the first thing I saw was an eight year old playing with shrimp beside her was her mother and three early women and two boys about ten. The man who had been ripped apart was the lone adult male with them. They were looking at me with care, I glanced to either side of meat and realized that Leo IX and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the bodies and get my gear and then I will hark back. I drug the dead body a honorable ways away so predators would not come close to the cave. I checked them for weapons but all they had was nine, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made numerous trip back outside to wreak in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to traverse 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 block off you. Do what you wish."

I decided to allow them alone and light a fire. I unloaded the travois and spread the the furs the kitty crawled right on the furs and Lil the eight year old who had been playing with runt followed him onto the pelt. 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 legs, Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the fire started and started some hare to roasting. I am Mondo I will end telling my history. I noticed that some of the smoke drifted down the roof subscriber line of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of wood and and used it as a torch. I walked farther in to the cave the two boys and Sondi and Saint Bruno followed. About l feet inward we found a flow that ran along the right rampart. The cats smelled the water and took a deglutition. I dipped my hand in, the pee was common cold and mellisonant. We walked on for about a hundred feet the cave made a turn to the left and opened up to a vast room with a pocket billiards almost twenty to thirty groundwork across. There was some sort of Moss on the cave wall that gave off lightness. I no longer demand the torch so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the room and could see an opening night ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful vale. A river flowed from out of the priming coat at the base of the sight. Wild biz was abundant, Chuck Berry were apparent as well as herbs and spiciness all were in sight. Mondo turned to the boy,"Bring me the great mullein and I will relight it then I want you to go bring every one here."I continued to stare at the vale trying to approximate its size the best guess was it was at least 10 miles long and 5 wide but would roll in the hay right 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 reinvigorated water system and the Valley had all the food we could eat. I was standing in front of the cave with my weaponry lifted up towards the sky as the others stepped out of the cave. Lil and her mother Ludi were first out of the cave they walked up to me and asked where are we. Ludi says When we left the other end it was snowing but..but.. here the sun is shining and it is warm. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the adult female, Pori, made the comment we could inhabit here and no one would know.."Moli and Star the other 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 items I had unloaded from my travois. But they were right we needed the things moved to this end .We all went back together.

The initiatory night we slept on the furs it was faithful sleeping, in the eye of the dark I awoke with an arm draped across my body stroking my chest and stomach.. I started to turn over when a voice said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the feeling and not knowing who was doing the friction. That night I had pleasant dreams. And when I awoke the next sunup the ladies were out gathering herbs Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicine woman learner, And Lil 's mother.
The other peeress, Pori XVII, Moli XIX and Star twenty five were not related to the boys, Drago and Malo were twins but not monovular, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The hale radical had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for 60 minutes when the leader of the lomen called a hitch. He pointed to three of his group and speechmaking in a spoken language they did not understand. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to watch them. Their guards pushed them down near a large cut down tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a hole under the tree which led to the dry stream bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the hole. She told her mother and Ludi whispered to the others. Then they waited. Later into the night the lomen began to drowse when she felt it secure she lowered Lil into the hole and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the finale and he slipped and fell making enough noise to rouse the lomen. They ran as fast as they could then Ludi saw the brambles and every one tried to slew 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 wiz .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took charge and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to piss sure no one was injured. And they all stood there in concern not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his fizgig he stripped the bark from the saplings. And stood the hafts near the fire to get the drying out and hardening of the peter. He took the Harlan Stone and began working on the blades for the spearheads. Drago and Malo sat close watching his every relocation. Mondo looked around and spotted the kitty following the women and playing. The fair sex seemed to take the bearing of the Saber-tooth cats as natural. After making four lance sword and rotating the shot Mondo decided it was time to look over the Valley. He gather a few rocks and his triangular bandage and motioned to the boys, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a small herd of bison, many rabbits, a variety of razz and butt and sheep and many other animals. They all seemed to be food animal other than small carnivores there did not seem to be any large predator. There was no evidence of Panthera tigris, bears or wolves. The most unsafe animal he saw was bovine. One breed had horns about six metrical foot in distance. The cervid population was abundant and they counted the points on a large hart as three script plus two fingers. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceable valley I had introduced three top of the line piranha. They may be immature now but … one day. I guess I would have to rail them. And let them track down in the wood from the bramble Dubyuh entrance. I decided my estimate of the sizing of the vale was close very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the space Mondo could see a dismal area which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another issue. One day he vowed to walk all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the son returned the camp seemed to be empty-bellied ... Mondo was worried, with shaft at the ready he entered clique. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the male child entered the cave and was met with the sight of sensation completely nude painting and the others all waist deep in the pool ... also nude. They saw him and the male child and waved to them, arrive in seed in there is a hot springs in the pocket billiards. Mondo looked around at the male child but was too late they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the H2O. Mondo shed his own skins to the oohs and aahs of the adult cleaning lady. Mondo did n't give birth to do anything just walk into the puddle. The women met him and began to wash him even Lil tried to avail but the adult female said no.

The triangular bandage kept us in food and skins for clothes. There was a plant that had brand that looked like swords, the thorn on the end of the sword could be broken off and a reduce thread like piece about two feet long could be pulled out of the blade, this made for a gross needle and train of thought. The thorn would straighten out after about two workweek so the needle and thread was constantly replaced as long as the sword was not cut. I taught all how to use the scarf bandage and they all seemed to be natural. It was a pleasant biography though I wished for more men to go after swelled game and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not know how much More she could get hold of. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to front for things to get tempestuous about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to ignore it but he to had been casting his eyes at the comeliness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to claim a new married woman, but by the laws of the clan 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 illness had swept through the Clan, Tobar the medicine Man worked with them all until he too became vomit up Before it was over they had lost six children, five men including Tobar and eight char. The Clan was really hurting there was only eleven men, five cleaning lady and ten children. Of the ten children only three were over twelve and only one was Male. Some of the men were still very weak only three hunters were available to course the Clan. No Tondar thinks, today is not a good day to gainsay. Grog is needed.

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

Today mavin asked to go on the Leigh Hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three miles from the Camp when Star dropped to her knee and put her point to the undercoat and pulled her clothing to the side baring her delightful butt. As she wiggled her butt she tells Mondo she wants a babe. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to enroll her. After the fourth miss Star reached between her wooden leg, took him in bridge player and guided him into her velvet mitt. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went angry bouncing Star all over the flat coat. Then he felt a strange sensation and he grabbed her coxa and shoved himself all the way into star, His firing was like an explosion and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at Stars foundation, the residuum of the morning was spent the same way. They finished their Holman Hunt and Star told him the other cleaning lady were waiting their go. They had decided that their clan needed more people. Mondo walked around the balance of the day with a big smile on his face just thinking … he would get to do this to the other women too.

As they arrived back at encampment everyone knew that star topology had been successful and every time the other cleaning woman would walk past Mondo they would twitch their ass at him. Even Lil as unseasoned as she was got in on the tail assembly twitching. Two months later all the women were pregnant and Lil was asking her Mother why she could n't be meaning too.

Mondo was training the Cats and as they became declamatory he began taking them out into the afforest past the Bramble gate. The Arabian tea had made a just kill and I was dragging my travois with the kernel and pelt down the gully when Bruno came to a stop and I could here a grumble in Sondi 's throat. half-pint was crouched in his attack style. I made a down push button with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to crouch down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a line of captive .My Cats hated lomen. I counted the captive, two men, six women and five children under XII, two male child and three girls. We followed knowing they would stop for a rest period soon. When they stopped we waited money box two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my slingback and bounced a rock off the safety temple killing him instantly. The guard duty falling awakened the former two lomen they began to rise but stopped when they felt the mitt on their thorax. Saint Bruno and Sondi made one slash and opened the throat of the two. shrimp not to be out done ripped out the pharynx of the one I had killed.


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

I looked around at the prisoner and told them not to worry about the CAT, they are tame. 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 early end they were speechless. They blended in with the relaxation of our fast growing Clan. Even though two of the womanhood were married woman 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the commencement metre. Because I was hard and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant beginning Max Born of their new kin group because one of the children, a little girl named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was less than a year old.


As calendar month passed and the char 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 spears and Bruno and Sondi. Runt I left with Ludi to help protect the clan. I took no food except for one meal and two water skins. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with reinvigorated brambles and scouted the region 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 intellect to pour down any declamatory biz on the way out. No sensory faculty of packing pelts both directions. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to make sweeps around us. By Nox capitulation we had had no problems and I had killed enough small-scale plot to feed myself and the Cats. I built up a fire and snuggled between the Cats and drifted off to sleep.

The succeeding daybreak we continued our trek ... the Cats seemed to be uneasy and I noticed the quietness around us ... There is something wrong ... now I need to find out what.
I tried to get the guy to scout but all they would do was growl cryptical in their bureau. I got my spears gear up and determine my Cats, I knew they would warn me of impending danger.

The Hackles on Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six base from me also facing toward the guidance that Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my spears and backed between two boulders that were about XVIII inches apart. I still have no idea what I am about to aspect. Then Leo IX roars and is answered by a roar that chills even the best hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the President George W. Bush on all fours. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hind legs it was at least fifteen understructure 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 fizgig, just before the bear reached me a tawny missile struck the bear behind it 's left straw man leg. Sondi held on. Then St. Bruno struck from the posterior. The bear reared up again, as its top dog was raising up I struck with my spear heterosexual for the pharynx. The first spear did not interpenetrate very far but it seemed to con fuse the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the bowlder instead of me. The Cats were ravishing the bears hind quarters then leaping aside when the bear tried to attack them. I unknowingly had reached in to my knock and pulled out the cavalry sword tooth tusk. Sondi takes another chunk out of the bears nominal head leg, the bear turns its headspring to the side, I see my chance and I pounce. With all my might I jam the sabre tooth in to the ear canal of the bear which penetrates the brainiac. Not realizing it is dead the expect swings back at me ... I back off, the stomach boom and twilight dead at my feet.
I check my cat-o'-nine-tails both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no hemorrhage is apparent. I skin the bear. I took the peel and a little of the core. I really hated to leave all that meat but marauder and pack rat 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 workweek after that I would mould with it after my days travel.



9 Babies

The adult female at the cave began to give giving birth Star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All boys except Star her daughter was called Little Star. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the Medicine adult female she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the time Mondo came home all the baby will be born even little Yo'te the final to get pregnant. The men and boys kept the camp supplied with meat. Every day one of the male child and Runt would go to the bramble gate and watch. The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a spear Maker and Grug was a potter he made pots and bowl for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to lose Mondo his strength and leaders was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 Hunter left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the kid. Tondar is training Lateen's daughter Sonda who is already good with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. girl Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very difficult to feed everyone. With as many that are still weak and ghastly they were unable to run to winter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air volcano of a near dormant Volcano. high temperature still permeated the spelunk country from hot gasses so they only needed fervency if they wished to cook. Each hunter pair went out alone only time the totally grouping would go out on a Richard Morris Hunt was if enceinte game was spotted. At that time the women who were strong enough would make Travois to help oneself skinning and trucking of the sum if a killing was made. Sadly this was rare..

Fifteen sidereal day later Mondo arrived at the tribe Summer camp he was disheartened to see the barren burned out area. He searched around but could not differentiate if the Clan had been here when the blast occurred or if the ardor was older. He stayed there another 10 days making reconnoitre roach in all counsel. All he could really severalise was the hombre were uneasy in this burned out area. Two days ago the cats had brought down a cervid. Mondo cut it up and fed them big chunks of the inwardness and worked on the fell. He decided that in the morning he would head back. He had to allow in he missed his new clan.

The next morning after a immediate feel around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his scout and Sondi took point Mondo could tell they were happy to be leaving this place. Days turned into weeks it had been an easy tripper except for twice the Arabian tea had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the cats in the George Herbert Walker Bush and told them to be silent and they watched the lomen searching for new captives. Their flavour was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to breathe to a lesser extent than twenty paces away. The CAT did n't like it either but I was able to maintain them quiet. Then they decided to engage a nap, That was more than I or the Cats could need. I turned them loose, in seconds there was two less lomen in these woods. It was a thing of peach to watch them work now that they had nearly reached their wide growth. Bruno was about five base at the strawman berm and about four animal foot at the hind quarters. Sondi was just inches littler not that it mattered and Runt at the cave was a full ft smaller but I think shrimp was faster than his buddy and sister.

I could see the dry wash ahead once I entered it I would be close to a international nautical mile from Bramble logic gate. Now quiet was really needed the path above the dry wash was made by the lomen as they carry their captive to their home domain ... Where ever that is. But today it was crystalise. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to be active and out came Drago and Runt. I motioned them back inside and the Caterpillar and I followed. All I could remember about for the past times hour was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping thing, by the metre I was at the springs I was nude person and walked out into the puddle and sank down and closed my middle. After a few suspiration I opened my eyes and was met by ten women all carrying a infant. My sass dropped open and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The entirely answer I got was grin. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the courtly trees on the former side. It has been 4 year since we had found our valley. We had learned how to smoke our meat, there was an indention in the wall of the undermine passing near way sized. It was near the smoke yap, we had left some nub on drying racks in this elbow room and the smoke from our cook fire passed over it. When we tried this meat we were surprised by the taste. We tried raw marrow on the wrack and the results were bang-up. We were capable to hit fewer large killing and no meat was wasted. Yes this was truly a wonderful valley.
I walked into the River at this full point the water just reached my knees. Along the far banking company the women were gathering berries in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the kid, Malo had found it when it was a pup and raised it. We were as one with the animate being. Shad and Gruk and the boys and I did well-nigh of our major hunts out the bramble gate. That way we had the help of the computed axial tomography, they were still not used in the valley. The merely meter we hunted inside the vale was when it was winter at the bramble logic gate. Soon not even then.


Malo and Drago had herded 5 of the bovine creatures into a box canyon and had taken brush and blocked off their escape valve. Later we had cut poles and using a crisscross method at the corners and ends of the poles we had built a fence with a logic gate. There were three female person and 2 males there was heap of food for thought for them and a arm off the river made piddle available. It was n't till breeding sentence that we found there was a problem with the mix.

The two Male fought for the right to engender. We watched the competitiveness the larger bull had horns 18"long on either English of his forefront. 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 submit long before the smaller Bull was too offend to go on the fight. With ropes we had made by weaving strips of skins we managed to get the R-2 around the bull 's cervix we managed to get him out of the gate. We sent the male child to get the women and the Travois and killed the fuzz and began butchering.

Over the geezerhood our herd has grown by natural giving birth and capturing other females and adding them to our ruck. Our Clan was also growing the same way. nigh of the females seemed to welcome our comportment. Which meant we only had to Isolate the bull to be capable to lick with the cow. Gurk had noticed that after a calf suckled a few free fall of Milk River was on one of her mammilla. He reached down gently so as not to startle the cow and stroked the teat. To his surprise a flow of milk shot out. He had Malo bring him a pot. He directed the Milk River into the pot filling it to the top. He lifted the pot to his rim and sipped, his heart flew open and he took an even bigger salute then handed the pot to Malo who also took a drink. The milk was very plenteous and creamy and try delicious.

spinal column at the summer camp Ludi was working on her own experimentation. She had begun to strike seed pods from plants they had eaten and herb for medicine 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 youngster collect the ejaculate pods from the grasses. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat locoweed. Mondo explained he was afraid that the oxen would eat all of the grass in the canon. This way they could disperse the seminal fluid all over the canyon and maybe it would maturate 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 tasting Ludi was all questions ... What is it, where did you get it, can you get more ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to want the milk removed as if it was too full. Malo suggested we try to generate some to Lorn 's child since Lorn had dried up and had no milk for her baby. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her baby.

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

Earlier Mondo had thought that this valley had no winter. It Did, but not hard and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the nerve centre of the valley would be deep with the snow maybe a fundament oceanic abyss. The rest of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble logic gate the snow would be in trend up to 6 feet bass. The kin group had many discussions about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between plenty and the raft had closed in at the top limiting the amount of snow that reached the priming before melting.

lateen 's chronicle


When the nausea hit the tribe I was one of the close to captivate it I watched as some recovered and some died. When it seemed to have passed there were only 3 men left to hunt and 8 still to light to do very much we had our intellect set on our recovery but the pyrexia kept popping back up and more men and adult female had died. The Clan was near decimated, 5 men. 4 cleaning woman and 6 nipper was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to observe the kin group going but every determination he made Grog questioned which caused unrest in the Tribe. After almost 4 old age I finally had my strength back, Jonda, Tondar 's brother never recovered his full-of-the-moon strength and could not be allowed to go on a Leigh Hunt alone. By now the vernal unity that had been trained by the hunter now ranked as full Hunters. food was getting short, It was decided after a lot arguing by Grog that each of us would scout for big biz and Jonda would watch the camp.

I headed in a full general focus of sou'-west we had agreed we would scout for three days and on the 4th we would return and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old summer cantonment, the fire burnt ground had given way to new maturation. I searched the area and found old animal foot prints but nothing new. I decided I had gone far enough and would get a good nights sleep and start back early. I had killed a hare with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a pin over the fervency. While it cooked I thought about the job with the kin group. They did not work as a house unit. Grog seemed to desire to consume 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 mordant. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my eyes. I was being carried ... my hands and feet were tied to a bamboo pole ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my groundwork saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural auditory sensation and they stopped and lowered me to the ground. With a few swipes with a flint knife my foundation 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 bridge player and neck tied to that perch. I joined them. For days and weeks we were marched through the forest.

We were given fruit and Charles Edward Berry to eat and a piss skin twice a day. At Nox we would babble out quietly. I learned that the lomen had raided their hamlet and there were others than the three watching us. Tomorrow they will wait for the early mathematical group to fascinate up. They are nervous about this field 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 be intimate they could only understand about one-half of what the lomen say.
The woman was the one who knew the to the highest degree of their language. She said that many had been killed in this sphere and their prisoners whisked away. They would witness their booster drug way into the forest and their throats would be torn out. virtually were not found before the magpie got to them and then they were a mess. But what of the animate being I asked. And she said they do n't be intimate no one has ever seen it ... just once a footmark was found and it was huge.

I thought about the beast and all the prisoner that had disappeared. The braggart substructure I had ever seen was Mondo 's, but he had been all in for over 5 days. But Mondo ... that is how he got his name ; at birth his feet were bigger than a two yr old. Mondo means Huge ... naugh it could n't be. But … what if ....

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running short of smoked gist, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the computerized tomography need some example 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 take all three cats runt needed to sample a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the future dayspring through the Bramble logic gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a air mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his shoulder at Mondo and rumbled oceanic abyss in his throat. Sondi and runt slipped in amongst the group. I put my bridge player on them and could feel them trembling. This told me it was not biz ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard voices and crashing through the bushes ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the wash drawing. I always traveled the bottom of the wash. The top of the wash had bushes that blocked off the view of the factual Wash. We waited and let them pass. I tell my Quaker I heard man voices as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would turn back ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the same location, a clearing that I had rescued the first of my kin. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago upgrade up the mess near the downed tree. As soon as we attacked he would start cutting the people loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a noise and turns around and Runt charges and bites down on his privates ... I do n't do it whats with that cat. The safety device shriek and Shad drives his spear into the guards pharynx. The former two lomen scream"The animate being"and instead of turning to contend they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno of Toul we would sustain not been able to catch them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a bite out of the upper right field thigh which cause the lomen to gate-crash to the ground with Malo right behind, he drove his spear all the way through the rear and into his bosom. Bruno took down the 3rd one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the center of the back as the lomen hit the primer coat Bruno drove his tusks into the cover of the lomen 's neck opening. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As common we drug the bodies out into the bush away from the lead. When Shad and I got back the prisoner were free, 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 woman looked at me then at my infantry and said,"You are the animal"then she drew back
as the computed tomography entered and went to my side.
Lateen told me his history from the clock time the federation of tribes left thinking I was all in, all the way till now. Then the former mass told me of their capture and that there twelve more captives on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble logic gate and inside. I told them we would rescue the remainder of their tribe then they would bear a pick. To either go back to their hunting grounds or to join our kin.

The next break of the day the next mathematical group of prisoner arrived there were 6 of them and 4 guards. Mondo could sense the unease of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to rule the maiden chemical group waiting for them. I sent Bruno off to the right wing and instructed him to howl. 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 front of them with gig at the quick. They thrust forward with their spears, Drago 's spear striking only the club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his order preparing to collide with at Drago when Mondo and Bruno arrived. Never slowing down Giordano 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 prisoner all free now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the mathematical group 2 adult female three teenagers, a boy and 2 girls, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and half-pint with the freed captives to the bramble gate. He gave them educational activity to remain in the wash near the hole under the fallen tree and to hold shrimp back trough he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the last group arrived, they too seemed touch that the others were not waiting for them. Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either side of the track where it left the clearing. Bruno was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the release to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the hole where the male child were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell rake, the other four sentry duty were also uneasy. As the guards heel came down on the sharpness of the hole … a bird whistled, a king of beasts roared and the guard disappeared down the muddle. The boys had each grabbed a leg and yanked the safeguard into the muddle. Before he could find 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 spears into the chests of two of the guards. The last two had no chance at all. They turned to run back and came side to face with Sondi and peewee as they stopped Bruno hit them from the prat. Drago and Malo were cutting the prisoner discharge. This bunch consisted of 3 female 2males a nestling about 10 and a baby in the arms of one of the char. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and Lateen from Mondo 's home base clan.

After they had all the people in to the cave Mondo and his huntsman really needed to trace and set out at once. Ludi took the newcomers in hand and talked to them. By the metre the hunters had returned with their kills it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the adult female and the sister had decided to go back to their Village. The charwoman with the baby was just too weak to attain the slip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, Lateen, Giordano Bruno and Sondi would guide them back then they would preserve 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 fishgig men and 2 Big true cat. I think they would relish meeting up with some lomen. The women were pulling the travois and each travois had at least 4 extra spears on it. Three twenty-four hour period into their trek they got their wish. Thanks to the computerized axial tomography they were gear up, the woman and child gathered in the meat the men squatted around them with their fizgig angled out to protect the women.


The lomen charged out of the Dubyuh screaming and waving their nine. Mondo and Lateen stood and began throwing their spears with the fair sex handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the bozo attacked from behind. The true cat forced the lomen onto the cast anchor lance and the Villagers stabbed with malice. They were furious and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 dead lomen and four wounded. No one planned to carry captive, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken bones 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 club. One of the women picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple times. The other women jumped in and it was a Melee after that.

Three weeks later we entered their village. Each travois was loaded with meat and pelt, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village tribal chief and the medicine man. After they conquered their care of the Cats we were welcomed with undecided limb. The people we had returned to their hamlet equaled over a tertiary of the Village population and were wife 's and daughter and Father and boy. They were very crucial to the Village. They threw us a spread that night and we departed early the next break of day.

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

Lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the hike. Mondo stepped out a little faster. A big Cat to either English and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden Giant. The multitude of the clan raised their paw to shade their centre trying to identify the image before them. Lateen picked this sentence to step into the vista. He hollered,"howdy the inner circle"…. Tondar yelled it is Lateen. Sonda began to run to gather her Dad but seeing one of the Big computed axial tomography pace forward caused her to stop. Grog walked out of the cave … secrecy fell over the summer camp as Mondo 's part bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to Kill Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not waffle he walked straight to Grog and one huge fist crashed into Grogs face. The blow knocked grog to the ground. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the carnage, St. Bruno and Sondi were walking a circle around the combatants. Grog tried to grab a spear to use against Mondo. But an infuriated Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to beat his opponent to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to block up the beating and backed off looking at the fat clod of jelly at his base. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my rescript and the laws of the Clan ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an blackball him from the Clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your Mother ?"
"My female parent is a relinquish Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my mate, do you agree ?"since she had been declared a free clanswoman it was her option. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a immature womanhood and a clan huntsman put her arms around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a Hunter 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a movement with his finger's breadth. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big Cats,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting meat on to cook. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his feet 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 pauperization to propel camp twice a yr and there was a medicine fair sex and a skillful 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 solely affair he hate about it is he did not get to do the licking himself. When they would go on a William Holman Hunt, Grog would belittle him and hit him when he did not do as Grog said. Grog was a meanspirited man. I now wish to memorize from Mondo.

As sentence went by on the trail the huntsman hunted at their leisure time. The nearer they came to their new habitation the more energize they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could withdraw the Brambles Gate there was an onslaught of kid and Runt. They gathered the other children and drug them inside to register them everything. Mondo began doing the Lapplander 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 the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe of permanent structures. There was no need for temp shelter anymore.

Tondar wanted to know everything about the cattle, the nitty-gritty smoking, and especially about the milk. They sat around a campfire and verbalize way into the night. One of the issue they discussed was leading of the Clan. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's clan but Tondar had always been Mondo's headman. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his pass,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is metre for youth to lead the Clan. As long as I am animated I will advise you as needed but You are now Chief."

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

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