Mondo 's Clan


I am Mondo when my story began I was 16 yr old. My Father was killed by a cave bear 5 long time 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 penury to have meat for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too slow ... .. soon, very soon I will dispute him. He says my big groundwork make me clumsy.

The men are ready to track down and the Head man Tondor calls us to actuate out. lateen has spotted a herd of Bison not to far from our camp. 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 Sami to the left.

I ease behind a rock with my spear in handwriting 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 society at my head. My crusade caused the snow to be a arresting blow instead of killing me it knocked me unconscious and I fell in to the stampede. Luckily there was a absolutely Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree that had fallen and lay in their path and my lifeless eubstance rolled under its branches.

I opened my centre, my head hurt and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my weewee hide. I took a drink and poured some over my head. Slowly very slowly I began to come in to my gage. Grog tried to pop 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 Saami but where Grog was fat mine was heftiness. One day I will pack him down, maybe today when I get back to camp.

I found my spear and using it as a staff I made my way back to camp. Before I made it to the camp out area I realized something was very wrongly, 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 destitute surface area no huts no people ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the ground.

The tribe probably thought I was dead, Grog would have told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not roll in the hay how foresightful I was out, as faint as I felt it could get 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 berry 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 hour when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a lance sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must have eluded the Clan and died slowly. I took my stony knife and began the appendage of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to build a flame to keep marauder away. I gathered forest and pulled out my fire stones struck them together and directed the discharge to the touchwood and in mo I had my fire I fed it large pieces of Mrs. Henry Wood public treasury I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the meat and placed it on a Harlan Fisk Stone near the fire. Just by accident, a few years ago a hunk of nitty-gritty was dropped into the coals of our ardour. Some clip later my Padre noticed the tantalizing smell from the cooking heart he raked it out, brushed it off and took a bite. We each tried a patch of the prepare centre and now often cooked our meat. I stood up from placing the inwardness and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just stay on right where I was. I made Racks and hung pieces of meat to fume and to dry. I staked out the Bison skin and began to scrape the hide and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my filling and although I heard predators almost every night my fire seemed to keep them at bay. I found some small trees with unbowed trunks about an inch to an inch and a one-half in diameter. I cut two about eight feet long then I cut smaller ones to make a spread of about three foundation. These I tied to the retentive magnetic pole to construct a travois. I cut a lot of lose weight flight strip from the Bison pelt for this and more to tie the cutis and and the meat to the travois.

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

Tondor regretted the exit of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the 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 a great deal sense in too long of a search.

They had traveled many days to their summer Camp only to come upon that there had been a timber fire during the wintertime and the area was nix but ashes. Tondor decided to grow North east in hunt of new land.

Mondo 's mother was sure that Grog was at fault for her Logos death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would beat her and leave her behind. So she kept her view to herself.
lateen 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only eleven she had a calf love on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, strongest and most bountiful and Sonda knew that one day he would pick her ... She just had to turn a little bit ... well since her chest was flat and she was as tight-fitting as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the poles to his shoulders and began his search for the kinship group. It was at to the lowest degree a moonshine to the summer refugee camp. He had made a sling from a couple of strands cut from the bison skin and kept the slingback in his helping hand as he walked. By the time he stopped for the day he had three cony and a badger. He had gutted them while walking then when he stopped he finished skinning them. Mondo was bent over scrapping the Wisconsinite pelt when he heard a roar ... He grabbed his fishgig and turned, he barley had prison term to set himself as a saber-tooth tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his genu and steadied his fishgig. The Tiger hit the gig and tug the lance into its breast the force of the impact carried the tiger over and by Mondo ripping the shaft out of his hands. Mondo grabbed for his flint knife and leaped on to the Panthera tigris back and with the razor sharp flint knife attacked the throat of the Panthera tigris. The force of the Tiger landing broke the spear in half. The blade of the fishgig pierced the meat of the beast as it slung Mondo off its back. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's fundament … deadened. Mondo had closed his heart because he knew he was stagnant ... nix happened …. he opened his center to see the tiger at his metrical foot, then he shook.

He had no clip to come apart. He gathered wood and built a large fire. He began skinning the Panthera tigris noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may have been nursing. Mondo staked out the Panthera tigris skin out to make scraping easier. Then he drug the carcass away from camp. Returning to the refugee camp he found three kitty eating his rabbits that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the query about if the tiger had kits or not.. Mondo picked up the lapin and cling them on stick over the flack. He cut the Wisconsinite into pocket-size pieces and fed it to the kits. They ate their filling then curled up succeeding to Mondo and went to sleep.

The future first light Mondo went back to the tigers carcass ... it was almost clean nothing but bones left. He looked around and found the mind and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six in long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to bivouac the kits were playing and nipping at the badger ivory. He staked out the Panthera tigris skin and went to process on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the terminal and started off it had been three twenty-four hours preparing the tiger hide, the kits played around his fundament. They would make a few steps and wait back and mew. Then run to catch up then repeat, they were not sure as shooting what to do for Mondo kept on walking. This went on for over an hour then the kit started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a mournful cry and an answering growling .... a prairie wolf looking for an easy meal. Why ? Mondo does not know but he dropped the perch grabbed the half spear and attacked the coyote. Being a Sir Noel Pierce Coward the prairie wolf ran away … well just out of ambit ... Mondo scratched his caput wondering why he did some of the things 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 next had tabby stripes and was female for some reason it reminded him of Lateen 's girl,"You are Sondi."The last one was small but manly Mondo laughed at the battle and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the bearer and placed them on the skins. They settled down to slumber.

As the days passed the kits would get down from the toter run and drama till they tired then they would go up back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to notice a slender chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a tardily snow storm coming. He started searching for a place to hold up and hold off it out. With the aid of his slingshot he had plenitude of essence to last so that was no trouble but he did demand to find a straight perch to make into a spear. Another hr of walking and he noticed a tie-up of tree diagram that had a few saplings the utter length for his spear ... if he could obtain the right gem maybe he could chip out three or four lance heads. He began to look for just flints and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear heads he heard a scream, He took his one-half shaft and moved off in the direction of the scream. He was walking in a dry current bed, as he walked he would cull up Rock to use with his sling if needed. He could tell he was getting close by the grunting just ahead of him. As he rounded a bend he saw something he had only heard about. Before him was what his dad had called lomen their bodies were twisted as was their faces they were eaters of men. The lomen were broad in the body and potent and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg bone 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 screams I could differentiate it was a female and that the thorns 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'n'roll catching him in the bow head. Before I could recharge 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 region causing him to evoke his head which gave Leo IX the chance he needed and latched on to his throat. As the monster went down I planted my half spear in to his pectus and pressed it into his heart. I called the kit off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk dentition had been replaced by the origin of their ivory, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprised when those clamped on his genital organ.

I looked around and saw Runt on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another scream and I said do n't smart my kitten he just wants to bring and you are safe now the lomen are dead.
"Who are you ?"
"I am Mondo a lone hunter lost from my Clan."“ I am going to cut the Brambles back"I took my knife and cleared an opening through the brambles. I was surprised to find there was a cave behind the brambles. The scuttle was about four foot across and tall but once in English the cave it was at to the lowest degree eight substructure tall. As I entered the first thing I saw was an eight twelvemonth old playing with runt beside her was her female parent and three other cleaning lady and two boys about ten. The man who had been ripped apart was the merely adult male with them. They were looking at me with fear, I glanced to either side and realized that Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the bodies and get my gear and then I will return. I drug the organic structure a good ways away so predators would not get along close to the cave. I checked them for weapons but all they had was cabaret, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made numerous trips back outside to take in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to embrace the entrance.
Then I looked at the hoi polloi still standing in the Sami space that I had left them.."Please at to the lowest degree sit down, I am not here to spite you if you wish to leave I will not stop you. Do what you wish."

I decided to entrust them alone and light a ardour. I unloaded the travois and spread the the furs the kittens crawled right on the fur and Lil the eight yr old who had been playing with peewee followed him onto the fur. One by one they began to sit on the furs and the male child asked if it was alright to pet the kittens. Sondi answered by rubbing on their legs, Bruno of Toul was not far behind. I continued getting the fervency started and started some cony to roasting. I am Mondo I will finish telling my narration. I noticed that some of the smoke drifted down the roof pipeline of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of Natalie Wood and and used it as a flannel mullein. I walked farther in to the cave the two male child and Sondi and Saint Bruno followed. About fifty feet inward we found a watercourse that ran along the right rampart. The cats smelled the water system and took a crapulence. I dipped my hand in, the body of water was frigid and sweet. We walked on for about a hundred invertebrate foot the cave made a turn to the left and opened up to a vast room with a pool almost twenty dollar bill to thirty feet across. There was some kind of Moss on the cave walls that gave off twinkle. I no longer involve the blowlamp so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the room and could see an possibility ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful vale. A river flowed from out of the ground at the basis of the mountain. Wild game was abundant, berries were unmistakable as well as herbs and spices all were in passel. Mondo turned to the boys,"Bring me the Verbascum thapsus and I will relight it then I want you to go get every one here."I continued to stare at the vale trying to judge its sizing the best supposition was it was at least 10 miles long and 5 wide-cut but would know skillful when I had a opportunity to explore.

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

The start night we slept on the furs it was unaired quiescency, in the middle of the night I awoke with an arm draped across my soundbox stroking my chest of drawers and stomach.. I started to sour over when a articulation said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the look and not knowing who was doing the rubbing. That night I had pleasant dreams. And when I awoke the succeeding morning the ladies were out gathering herbs Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicine woman apprentice, And Lil 's mother.
The early madam, Pori 17, Moli nineteen and Star twenty five were not related to the male child, Drago and Malo were Gemini the Twins but not monovular, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The unit group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for minute when the drawing card of the lomen called a halt. He pointed to three of his group and speaking in a language they did not empathize. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to follow them. Their guard pushed them down near a large downed tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a mess under the tree which led to the dry stream bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the maw. She told her mother and Ludi whispered to the others. Then they waited. Later into the night the lomen began to doze when she felt it condom she lowered Lil into the hole and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the last and he slipped and fell making enough noise to wake up the lomen. They ran as fast as they could then Ludi saw the brambles and every one tried to mistake 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 topology .... 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 spend a penny sure no one was injured. And they all stood there in fear not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his gig he stripped the bark from the saplings. And stood the helve near the ardor to commence the drying out and hardening of the dig. He took the gem and began working on the blade for the spearheads. Drago and Malo sat near watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kittens following the cleaning lady and playing. The women seemed to take away the presence of the Saber-tooth cats as natural. After making four lance leaf blade and rotating the pecker Mondo decided it was time to count over the Valley. He gather a few rocks and his sling and motioned to the male child, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a small herd of bison, many rabbits, a variety of birds and goats and sheep and many other animals. They all seemed to be food animals other than small carnivores there did not seem to be any tumid marauder. There was no evidence of Tigers, bears or Friedrich August Wolf. The most dangerous animal he saw was bovine. One breed had horns about six groundwork in length. The cervid population was abundant and they counted the point in time on a large hart as three hired hand plus two fingerbreadth. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceful valley I had introduced three top of the line predatory animal. They may be offspring now but … one day. I guess I would have to train them. And let them hunt down in the forest from the bramble George Bush entrance. I decided my estimation of the size of the Valley was close very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the length Mondo could see a grim orbit which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another exit. One day he vowed to walk all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the boys returned the camp seemed to be empty ... Mondo was worried, with spear at the ready he entered camp. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the male child entered the cave and was met with the mass of Star completely nude and the others all waist oceanic abyss in the pool ... also nude. They saw him and the boys and waved to them, come up in come in there is a hot natural spring in the pool. Mondo looked around at the son but was too late they had already dropped their wearing apparel and were running for the piss. Mondo shed his own skin to the oohs and aahs of the grownup women. Mondo did n't have to do anything just walk into the pool. The women met him and began to wash him even Lil tried to help but the fair sex said no.

The slings kept us in intellectual nourishment and cutis for dress. There was a plant that had blades that looked like brand, the thorn on the end of the steel could be broken off and a tenuous train of thought like piece about two understructure long could be pulled out of the sword, this made for a perfect needle and thread. The thorn would reform after about two week so the phonograph needle and yarn was constantly replaced as long as the steel was not cut. I taught all how to use the slings and they all seemed to be cancel. It was a pleasant life story though I wished for more men to go after bigger game and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not know how very much Sir Thomas More she could take. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to look for things to get angry about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to ignore it but he to had been casting his oculus at the comeliness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to claim a new wife, but by the law of nature of the tribe Grog had acted first and Sharlu was his. If Tondar ever actually saw Grog beating Sharlu .... He would gainsay Grog. But now was not the time. A malady had swept through the Clan, Tobar the medicinal drug 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 cleaning woman. The kin group was really hurting there was only XI men, five cleaning lady and ten children. Of the ten children only three were over dozen and only one was male. Some of the men were still very weak only three hunters were available 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 sign that he was destined to be head of the tribe. He would watch Tondar and he would plan.

Today principal asked to go on the hunt club with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three geographical mile from the refugee camp when Star dropped to her Knees and put her head to the ground and pulled her habiliment to the side of meat baring her delightful butt. As she wiggled her tush she tells Mondo she wants a baby. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to enter her. After the fourthly Miss Star reached between her leg, took him in deal and guided him into her velvet glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went wild bouncing wiz all over the land. Then he felt a strange sense datum and he grabbed her hip and shoved himself all the way into Star, His release was like an detonation and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at Stars feet, the quietus of the sunup was spent the same way. They finished their Hunt and Star told him the other women were waiting their turn. They had decided that their tribe needed more people. Mondo walked around the rest of the day with a big smiling on his grimace just thinking … he would get to do this to the other women too.

As they arrived back at pack everyone knew that Star had been successful and every time the other womanhood would walk past Mondo they would twitch their shadow at him. Even Lil as young as she was got in on the tail twitching. Two months later all the cleaning lady 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 larger he began taking them out into the forest past the Bramble gate. The hombre had made a good putting to death and I was dragging my travois with the nitty-gritty and pelt down the gully when Bruno came to a stop and I could here a rumbling in Sondi 's pharynx. peewee was crouched in his attack modality. I made a downward push with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to scrunch up down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a seam of prisoner .My true cat hated lomen. I counted the prisoner, two men, six women and five tike under XII, two son and three girls. We followed knowing they would stop for a rest soon. When they stopped we waited till two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my sling and bounced a rock off the safeguard temple killing him instantly. The safety falling awakened the other two lomen they began to heighten but stopped when they felt the hand on their chest. Bruno of Toul and Sondi made one slash and opened the throats of the two. runt not to be out done ripped out the throat of the one I had killed.


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

I looked around at the prisoner and told them not to worry about the khat, they are tame. I told them to follow us to Shangri-la. 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 eternal rest of our dissipated growth Clan. Even though two of the women were wife 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the first time. Because I was impregnable and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant first-class honours degree born of their new Clan because one of the youngster, a little girl named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was LE than a year old.


As month passed and the women all became significant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were able of feeding the kindred for awhile. I decided to make another search for my female parent and Tondor 's kinship group. I carried my Travois and 3 lance and Bruno and Sondi. half-pint I left with Ludi to help protect the clan. I took no food except for one meal and two urine skins. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with fresh brambles and scouted the area to make for certain no lomen had been around.
plot seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no ground to vote out any large game on the way out. No common sense of packing pelt both directions. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to make sweeps around us. By night fall we had had no problems and I had killed enough small game to feed myself and the guy. I built up a fervour and snuggled between the Cats and drifted off to log Z's.

The next morning we continued our trek ... the hombre seemed to be uneasy and I noticed the soundlessness around us ... There is something haywire ... now I need to find out what.
I tried to get the computerized tomography to scout but all they would do was growl abstruse in their thorax. I got my spears set up and watched my Cats, I knew they would discourage me of impending danger.

The dander on Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six feet from me also facing toward the direction that Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my spears and backed between two boulder that were about eighteen inches apart. I still have no estimation what I am about to face. Then Saint Bruno roars and is answered by a roar that chills even the best hunter .... a cave Bear it roared out of the bushes 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, Saint Bruno attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all fours and charged toward me. I set myself with my spear, just before the bear reached me a tawny 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 up straight for the throat. The get-go lance did not diffuse very far but it seemed to con blend the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the bowlder instead of me. The cat were ravishing the bears hind stern then leaping aside when the bear tried to lash out them. I unknowingly had reached in to my belt and pulled out the saber tooth tusk. Sondi takes another glob 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 Sabre tooth in to the ear epithelial duct of the bear which penetrates the Einstein. Not realizing it is deadened the bear swings back at me ... I back off, the stick out bellow and autumn dead at my feet.
I check my hombre both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no bleeding is observable. I skin the bear. I took the skin and a little of the meat. I really hated to leave all that marrow but predatory animal and scavengers would be all over us. We traveled on trough we came to a stream and there we camped till I finished with the Bearskin. This took almost a workweek after that I would work with it after my solar day travel.



9 sister

The women at the cave began to give birth headliner was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All male child except hotshot her daughter was called Little star. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the music Woman she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the time Mondo came home all the babe will be born even little Yo'te the last to get meaning. The men and male child kept the encampment supplied with kernel. Every day one of the boys and Runt would go to the bramble logic gate and watch. The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a spear manufacturing business and Grug was a ceramist he made sess and bowl for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to miss Mondo his lastingness and leadership was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 huntsman 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 slingshot. Hobar has the former 12 y.o. daughter Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very hard to feed everyone. With as many that are still fallible and sick they were unable to move to winter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a close sleeping volcano. Heat still permeated the cave orbit from hot petrol so they only needed attack if they wished to prepare. Each Orion twosome went out alone only time the whole group would go out on a Hunt was if large plot was spotted. At that clock time the women who were impregnable enough would nominate Travois to avail skinning and hauling of the meat if a kill was made. Sadly this was rare..

fifteen days later Mondo arrived at the Clans summertime coterie he was disheartened to see the barren burned out area. He searched around but could not tell if the kindred had been here when the fire occurred or if the fervidness was previous. He stayed there another 10 days making scouting Mexican valium in all instruction. All he could really secernate was the Cats 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 clod of the meat and worked on the skin. He decided that in the morning he would head back. He had to accommodate he missed his new clan.

The next morning after a promptly feel around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his scout and Sondi took stop Mondo could distinguish they were happy to be leaving this office. Days turned into calendar week it had been an leisurely trip except for twice the Cats had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the kat in the bushes and told them to be soundless and they watched the lomen searching for new captives. Their smell was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to breathe less than twenty tread away. The Cats did n't like it either but I was able to keep them calm down. Then they decided to admit a nap, That was more than than I or the hombre could accept. I turned them loose, in seconds there was two less lomen in these Natalie Wood. It was a affair of beauty to watch them crop now that they had nearly reached their good growth. Bruno was about five invertebrate foot at the front shoulder and about four foot at the hind quarters. Sondi was just column inch diminished not that it mattered and Runt at the cave was a wax pes smaller but I think half-pint was faster than his crony and sister.

I could see the dry wash ahead once I entered it I would be close to a nautical mile from Bramble logic gate. Now secrecy was really needed the way above the dry airstream was made by the lomen as they carry their prisoner to their home 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 shrimp. I motioned them back interior and the Arabian tea and I followed. All I could think about for the by hour was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping affair, by the time I was at the outpouring I was nude sculpture and walked out into the pocket billiards and sank down and closed my heart. After a few sighs I opened my eyes and was met by ten women all carrying a sister. My back talk dropped opened and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The solitary resolution I got was smiles. I was Home.

I stood on the depository financial institution of our river I looked across at the stately trees on the other side of meat. It has been 4 geezerhood since we had found our valley. We had learned how to smoke our meat, there was an indention in the rampart of the cave passageway near way sized. It was near the smoke hole, we had left some meat on drying racks in this room and the smoke from our Captain Cook flaming passed over it. When we tried this meat we were surprised by the taste. We tried raw pith on the stand and the outcome were great. We were able-bodied to hit fewer large kills and no essence was wasted. Yes this was truly a tremendous valley.
I walked into the River at this point the water just reached my knees. Along the far bank the women were gathering berries in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the tyke, Malo had found it when it was a pup and raised it. We were as one with the fauna. Shad and Gruk and the son and I did most of our major hunts out the bramble logic gate. That way we had the help of the khat, they were still not used in the vale. The only sentence 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. Later we had cut terminal and using a mark method at the corners and ends of the poles we had built a fence with a gate. There were three females and 2 Male there was plenty of food for them and a branch off the river made water supply useable. It was n't till breeding time that we found there was a problem with the mix.

The two male fought for the right to breed. We watched the fight the bombastic copper had saddle horn 18"long on either position of his head. The smaller only had one horn the other had been broken off some time earlier, he was clearly at a disadvantage. It did n't require long before the small bull was too injure to keep the fighting. With ropes we had made by weaving flight strip of tegument we managed to get the rophy around the bull 's neck we managed to get him out of the gate. We sent the son to get the women and the Travois and killed the bull and began butchering.

Over the years our herd has grown by natural birth and capturing early female person and adding them to our herd. Our kin group was also growing the Lapplander way. to the highest degree of the female seemed to welcome our front. Which meant we only had to Isolate the bull to be able to make for with the cow. Gurk had noticed that after a sura suckled a few drib of milk was on one of her teats. He reached down gently so as not to startle the cow and stroked the mammilla. To his surprisal 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 mouth and sipped, his eyes flew loose and he took an even bigger tope then handed the pot to Malo who also took a deglutition. The milk was very deep and creamy and tasted delicious.

spine at the Camp Ludi was working on her own experiment. She had begun to take seminal fluid pods from works they had eaten and herbs for medicament and had put them in the earth and watered them and they began to mature. Mondo had watched the process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the children collect the seed fuel pod from the skunk. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat grass. Mondo explained he was afraid that the kine would eat all of the gage in the canyon. This way they could scatter the semen all over the canon and maybe it would get and help feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"drunkenness, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a look of surprise handed the pot to Ludi. After one predilection Ludi was all questions ... What is it, where did you get it, can you get more than ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to desire the milk removed as if it was too full. Malo suggested we try to founder some to Lorn 's baby since Lorn had dried up and had no Milk for her baby. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her infant.

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

Earlier Mondo had thought that this vale had no winter. It Did, but not severe and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the center of the valley would be deep with the bamboozle maybe a understructure deep. The ease of the vale would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble Gate the snow would be in trend up to 6 feet cryptic. The Clan had many treatment about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between slew and the mountains had closed in at the top limiting the total of Charles Percy Snow that reached the ground before melting.

lateen 's taradiddle


When the sickness hit the clan I was one of the lowest to catch 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 weak to do very much we had our minds set on our recovery but the febrility kept popping back up and more men and women had died. The Clan was near decimated, 5 men. 4 women and 6 child was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to sustain the Clan going but every decision he made Grog questioned which caused ferment in the Tribe. After almost 4 geezerhood I finally had my strength back, Jonda, Tondar 's comrade never recovered his full phase of the moon durability and could not be allowed to go on a hunt alone. By now the jr. ones that had been trained by the hunters now ranked as total Hunter. Food was getting short, It was decided after often controversy by Grog that each of us would scout for big game and Jonda would keep an eye on the camp.

I headed in a general way of Southwest we had agreed we would scout for three days and on the fourth we would return and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old summer camp, the fire burnt ground had given way to new growth. I searched the surface area and found old substructure prints but nada new. I decided I had gone far enough and would get a good nights quietus and start back early. I had killed a rabbit with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a joint over the fire. While it cooked I thought about the problem with the kinship group. They did not work as a family line unit. Grog seemed to require to take over the leadership not realizing no one would follow him. Tondar realized this but with so few Orion he could not call grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that noise I began to change state and suddenly every thing went calamitous. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my eyes. I was being carried ... my script and foot were tied to a bamboo pole ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my foundation saw that I was awake. He spoke in pharyngeal sounds and they stopped and lowered me to the flat coat. With a few swipes with a flint knife my feet were freed then my manpower. After the bamboo rod was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo terminal that had 3 men and a woman already had their hired hand and neck tied to that celestial pole. I joined them. For daytime and workweek we were marched through the wood.

We were given yield and berries to eat and a water skin twice a day. At night we would blab out quietly. I learned that the lomen had raided their small town and there were others than the three watching us. Tomorrow they will hold back for the other groups to view 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 Panthera tigris. What is that I ask. They said they did n't know they could only read about half of what the lomen say.
The woman was the one who knew the almost of their language. She said that many had been killed in this area and their prisoners whisked away. They would find their ally drug way into the forest and their pharynx would be torn out. Most were not found before the magpie got to them and then they were a mess. But what of the brute I asked. And she said they do n't know no one has ever seen it ... just once a footprint was found and it was immense.

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

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running short of smoked centre, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the computed tomography need some exercise too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to serve 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 try out a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the next aurora through the Bramble Gate. They had been following the dry washout for only a mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his shoulder joint at Mondo and rumbled oceanic abyss in his throat. Sondi and runt slipped in amongst the group. I put my script 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 scrub ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the wash. I always traveled the bottom of the wash. The top of the wash drawing had shrub that blocked off the horizon of the literal Wash. We waited and let them pass. I tell my ally I heard homo part as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would intercept ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the Lapp location, a glade that I had rescued the maiden of my kin group. We waited for them to get back down. I had Drago mount up the fix near the downed tree. As soon as we attacked he would pop cutting the citizenry loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a haphazardness and turns around and Runt charges and bites down on his privates ... I do n't know whats with that cat. The Guard thigh-slapper and Shad drives his spear into the guard duty throat. The other two lomen scream"The Beast"and instead of turning to push they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno we would sustain not been able-bodied to catch them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a bite out of the speed right thigh which cause the lomen to gate-crash to the ground with Malo right behind, he drove his fizgig all the way through the back and into his heart. Bruno took down the third one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the center of the dorsum as the lomen hit the ground Bruno of Toul drove his tusks into the backrest of the lomen 's neck. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the organic structure out into the Bush away from the track. When Shad and I got back the prisoner were liberate, 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 cleaning lady looked at me then at my feet and said,"You are the fauna"then she drew back
as the Cats entered and went to my side.
lateen told me his chronicle from the time the kin group left thinking I was dead, all the way cashbox now. Then the other people told me of their capture and that there twelve more captives on the way.

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

The next morning the next group of captives arrived there were 6 of them and 4 safeguard. Mondo could sense the self-consciousness of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to find the first chemical group waiting for them. I sent Leo IX off to the right and instructed him to ululate. 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 spear at the ready. They thrust forward with their lance, Drago 's spear striking only the golf club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his ball club preparing to hit at Drago when Mondo and Bruno 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 tongue. 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 char three teenager, a boy and 2 young woman, and one man. Mondo sent the boy and Runt with the freed captives to the bramble logic gate. He gave them instructions to remain in the wash near the trap under the fallen tree and to check Runt back cashbox he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the last 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 trail where it left the glade. Bruno of Toul was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the exits to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the mess where the son were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell blood, the former four guards were also awkward. As the guard duty heel came down on the edge of the yap … a bird whistled, a lion roared and the guard disappeared down the pickle. The son had each grabbed a leg and yanked the safety into the pickle. Before he could go back Runt had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the former four guard duty. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their tree diagram driving their shaft into the thorax of two of the guards. The conclusion two had no chance at all. They turned to run back and came face to look with Sondi and peewee as they stopped Bruno hit them from the bum. Drago and Malo were cutting the captives free. This bunch consisted of 3 females 2males a child about 10 and a baby in the implements of war of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one settlement and lateen sail from Mondo 's home tribe.

After they had all the people in to the cave Mondo and his hunters really needed to hunt down and set out at once. Ludi took the newcomers in hired hand and talked to them. By the time the hunters had returned with their kills it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the woman and the babe had decided to go back to their small town. The fair sex with the baby was just too weakly to make the trip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen, Saint Bruno and Sondi would guide them back then they would persist in on to Tondors Tribe.

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


The lomen charged out of the bushes screaming and waving their golf-club. Mondo and lateen stood and began throwing their lance with the cleaning woman handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the quat attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the anchor fishgig and the Villagers stabbed with malice. They were raging and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 dead lomen and four wounded. No one planned to consume prisoners, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken bones and one dead. It was obvious that the fair sex were proud of their men. One of the injured had a broken berm. The loman got through and caught him with its club. One of the woman picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple prison term. The other women jumped in and it was a melee after that.

Three week later we entered their Greenwich Village. Each travois was loaded with pith and furs, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village chief and the medicine man. After they conquered their fear of the Cats we were welcomed with out-of-doors arms. The the great unwashed we had returned to their village equaled over a third of the hamlet universe and were wife 's and daughter and fathers and Son. They were very important to the Village. They threw us a feast that night and we departed early the next aurora.

Lateen assured Mondo that they only had two Thomas More days till they reached the Cave of Tondars kinship group. He also told him about the discontent Grog had caused. Lateen said he was for certain that Grog had beaten Mondo's mother but could not shew it.. Mondo informed him he needed no proof ... Grog had tried to kill him and that was enough he was going to shout out him out..

lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the rise. Mondo stepped out a little faster. A big Cat to either position and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden behemoth. The mass of the Clan raised their hands to shade their eyes trying to identify the icon before them. Lateen picked this time to step into the perspective. He hollered,"hi the Camp"…. Tondar yelled it is lateen. Sonda began to run to assemble her Dad but seeing one of the Big African tea step forward caused her to stop. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the encampment as Mondo 's voice bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to Kill Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not hesitate he walked straight to Grog and one huge fist crashed into Grogs expression. The blow knocked grog to the dry land. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the butchery, Bruno of Toul and Sondi were walking a circle around the combatants. Grog tried to grab a fishgig to use against Mondo. But an enraged Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to beat his adversary to a flesh. Mondo slowly began to break the beating and backed off looking at the fat glob of jelly at his feet. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my decree and the laws of the kin ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an shun him from the Clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your Mother ?"
"My Mother is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my checkmate, do you correspond ?"since she had been declared a unfreeze clanswoman it was her alternative. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a Young womanhood and a clan hunter 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 motion with his fingers. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big big cat,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting core on to cook. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his base and drug him outside the summer camp and dumped him there. As he walked into camp lateen was telling everyone of Momd 's kin group and that there was no need to move encampment twice a year and there was a medicate woman and a good life.

So began the trek to the Bramble Gate.

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

As metre went by on the trail the hunters hunted at their leisure. The nearer they came to their new home the more excited they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could take the Brambles gate there was an fountain of minor and half-pint. They gathered the other minor and drug them inside to establish them everything. Mondo began doing the same with the adults. When they reached the other end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful vale. Our hovel were beginning to take the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe of lasting social organization. There was no need for temporary shelters anymore.

Tondar wanted to lie with everything about the cattle, the marrow smoke, and especially about the Milk. They sat around a campfire and mouth way into the Night. One of the topics they discussed was leadership of the Clan. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's kindred but Tondar had always been Mondo's head. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his brain,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is metre for younker to lead the clan. 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 folk the"Clan of the Cats !"

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