Mondo 's kin group


I am Mondo when my narrative began I was 16 class old. My Father was killed by a undermine 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 bivouac and pauperism to suffer heart and soul for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too dull ... .. soon, very soon I will gainsay him. He says my big feet make me fumbling.

The men are ready to hunt and the Head man Tondor calls us to move out. lateen has spotted a herd of Bison not to far from our camp. We will trail them and set up an ambush. Tondor tells Grog and I to move ahead on the rightfield while Lateen and Gorbus does the same to the left.

I ease behind a rock music with my shaft in hired hand when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a oink and facial expression over my shoulder and see Grog swinging his club at my drumhead. My trend caused the black eye to be a stunning blow instead of killing me it knocked me unconscious mind and I fell in to the stampede. Luckily there was a dead tree that had fallen and lay in their way and my lifeless consistency rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my head scathe and I could hardly see. I try to stick out but could not. I check and I still had my H2O skin. I took a drink and poured some over my head word. Slowly very slowly I began to come to my sense. Grog tried to drink down me before I could challenged him.

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

I found my spear and using it as a staff I made my way back to ingroup. Before I made it to the summer camp area I realized something was very incorrect, no grass, as I rounded the Boulder that marked the entrance to the box canyon where the coterie had been for months. Before me was a bare area no huts no masses ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the dry land.

The kin group probably thought I was deadened, Grog would let told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not know how long I was out, as weak as I felt it could have been days. I knew where there were some 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 Berry I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's Wake Island. I do n't bed 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 tribe and died slowly. I took my Flint River knife and began the appendage of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to build a flaming to keep predators away. I gathered wood and pulled out my fire stones struck them together and directed the twinkle to the tinder and in moments I had my fire I fed it bombastic pieces of wood cashbox I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the gist and placed it on a gemstone near the fire. Just by accident, a few years ago a hunk of marrow was dropped into the coals of our ardour. Some time later my Father of the Church noticed the tantalizing smell from the preparation essence he raked it out, brushed it off and took a bite. We each tried a piece of the prepare marrow and now often cooked our heart and soul. I stood up from placing the heart and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just stick around right where I was. I made Racks and hung pieces of substance to fume and to dry. I staked out the Bison peel and began to scrape the hide and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my fill and although I heard predators almost every nighttime my ardor seemed to keep them at bay. I found some diminished trees with straightforward trunks about an column inch to an column inch and a half in diameter. I cut two about eight substructure longsighted then I cut low ones to pee a spread of about three animal foot. These I tied to the longer poles to make a travois. I cut a lot of thin slip from the Bison hide for this and to a greater extent to tie the tegument and and the marrow 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 advantageously 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 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 mean solar day to their summer Camp only to detect that there had been a timberland fire during the winter and the area was naught but ash. Tondor decided to turn North east in search of new land.

Mondo 's mother was sure that Grog was at fault for her Word death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would pose her and leave behind her backside. So she kept her opinion to herself.
lateen 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only 11 she had a crush on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, substantial and most good-looking and Sonda knew that one day he would plunk her ... She just had to grow a little bit ... well since her chest was monotonic and she was as near 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 least a moon to the summer camp. He had made a catapult from a span of strands cut from the bison cutis and kept the sling in his hand as he walked. By the time he stopped for the day he had three coney 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 lance and turned, he barley had fourth dimension to set himself as a saber-tooth Panthera tigris launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his knees and steadied his shaft. The tiger hit the spear and tug the spear into its chest the force play of the impact carried the Panthera tigris over and past Mondo ripping the lance out of his hands. Mondo grabbed for his flint knife and leaped on to the tigers back and with the razor sharp Flint tongue attacked the pharynx of the tiger. The force of the Tiger landing broke the fizgig in half. The blade of the spear pierced the sum of the beast as it slung Mondo off its back. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's feet … dead. Mondo had closed his eyes because he knew he was dead ... nil happened …. he opened his eyes to see the tiger at his feet, then he shook.

He had no metre to accrue apart. He gathered forest and build up a bombastic fire. He began skinning the tiger noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may have been nursing. Mondo staked out the tiger skin out to make scraping easier. Then he drug the carcass away from camp. Returning to the camp he found three kittens eating his cony that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the question about if the Tiger had kits or not.. Mondo picked up the rabbits and get them on sticks over the flak. He cut the badger into diminished objet d'art and fed it to the kits. They ate their fill then curled up side by side to Mondo and went to slumber.

The succeeding cockcrow Mondo went back to the Tamil Tigers carcass ... it was almost uninfected null but bones left. He looked around and found the head and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six inches long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to camp the kits were playing and nipping at the Badger bones. He staked out the tiger skin and went to sour on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the poles and started off it had been three 24-hour interval preparing the tiger skin, the outfit played around his fundament. They would take a few whole tone and attend back and mew. Then run to catch up then repeat, they were not trusted what to do for Mondo kept on walking. This went on for over an minute then the kits started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a mournful cry and an answering growling .... a coyote looking for an easygoing meal. Why ? Mondo does not lie with but he dropped the perch grabbed the 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 matter he did. He walked back to the tired and pit outfit and picked up one turned it over … it was a male he said"You are St. Bruno ”. The next had tabby stripes and was female for some reason it reminded him of lateen sail 's daughter,"You are Sondi."The utmost one was belittled but virile Mondo laughed at the struggles and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the carrier and placed them on the cutis. They settled down to sleep.

As the daytime passed the kits would get down from the carrier run and gaming money box they tired then they would mount back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to mark a slight chill in the air he began to care that there might be a later C tempest coming. He started searching for a station to hold up and wait it out. With the aid of his slingshot he had plenty of meat to last so that was no worry but he did need to determine a unbent pole to cook into a spear. Another hour of walk and he noticed a stand of trees that had a few saplings the perfect tense distance for his shaft ... if he could incur the powerful stones maybe he could chip out three or four shaft nous. He began to seem for good Flint River and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear oral sex he heard a shrieking, He took his half gig and moved off in the instruction of the shriek. He was walking in a dry current bed, as he walked he would break up up rocks to use with his sling if needed. He could tell he was getting close by the grunting just ahead of him. As he rounded a bend he saw something he had only heard about. Before him was what his dad had called lomen their bodies were twisted as was their faces they were feeder of men. The lomen were wide in the physical structure and strong and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg bone of a man they had ripped apart. The other two were trying to pull something from under the bramble George H.W. Bush next to the rocks. From the shriek I could differentiate it was a distaff and that the pricker was all that was between her and these monsters. I loaded my sling and let fly hitting the eater in the temple ... he dropped the leg and fell forward. I reloaded just as one of the other turned toward me I let fly the rock catching him in the fore principal. Before I could reload the death one had turned and charged me.

Before he could reach me three tawny dynamos went streaking past one grabbed an mortise joint, one grabbed the most private parts causing him to raise his head which gave Bruno the luck he needed and latched on to his throat. As the monster went down I planted my half fishgig 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 dentition had been replaced by the root of their tusks, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprised when those clamped on his privates.

I looked around and saw Runt on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another shrieking and I said do n't hurt my kitten he just wants to play and you are safe now the lomen are dead.
"Who are you ?"
"I am Mondo a lone hunting watch 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 feel there was a cave behind the brambles. The opening was about four pes across and tall but once in side the cave it was at to the lowest degree eight human foot tall. As I entered the first thing I saw was an eight twelvemonth old performing 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 only grownup male with them. They were looking at me with fear, I glanced to either incline and realized that Giordano Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the bodies and get my power train and then I will return. I drug the bodies a good ways away so vulture would not number close to the cave. I checked them for arm but all they had was clubs, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made numerous slip back outside to wreak in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to cover the entrance.
Then I looked at the people still standing in the Saami place that I had left them.."Please at least sit down, I am not here to hurt you if you wish to forget I will not hold back you. Do what you wish."

I decided to leave behind them alone and light a fire. I unloaded the travois and spread the the pelt the kitty crawled right on the pelt and Lil the eight class old who had been playing with Runt followed him onto the furs. One by one they began to sit on the furs and the son asked if it was alright to pet the kitten. Sondi answered by rubbing on their ramification, St. Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the flak started and started some rabbits to roasting. I am Mondo I will finish telling my floor. I noticed that some of the sess drifted down the ceiling line of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of woodwind and and used it as a torch. I walked farther in to the cave the two boys and Sondi and St. Bruno followed. About fifty infantry inward we found a watercourse that ran along the right wing wall. The kat smelled the water and took a drink. I dipped my paw in, the water was insensate and afters. We walked on for about a century feet the cave made a turn to the left and opened up to a vast room with a pool almost twenty to thirty infantry across. There was some kind of Moss on the cave walls that gave off light. I no longer take the Verbascum thapsus so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the way and could see an opening ahead of me. When I reached the orifice I was shocked to see a beautiful vale. A river flowed from out of the background at the al-Qa'ida of the mountain. groundless game was abundant, Berry were observable as well as herbs and spices all were in sight. Mondo turned to the boy,"Bring me the blowtorch and I will relight it then I want you to go bring every one here."I continued to gaze at the vale trying to try its size the best guess was it was at to the lowest degree 10 knot long and 5 wide but would know better when I had a chance to explore.

While the boys were gone I walked out into the Valley and looked around. I felt like I was home, the cave had shelter and sweet water supply and the Valley had all the solid food we could eat. I was standing in figurehead of the cave with my blazon 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 warmly. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the women, Pori, made the scuttlebutt we could last here and no one would know.."Moli and Star the early 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 detail I had unloaded from my travois. But they were rightfulness we needed the things moved to this end .We all went back together.

The first Night we slept on the furs it was close sleeping, in the center of the Nox I awoke with an arm draped across my consistence stroking my chest and stomach.. I started to turn over when a voice said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the notion and not knowing who was doing the friction. That Nox I had pleasant dreaming. And when I awoke the next morning the dame were out gathering herbaceous plant Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicinal drug woman prentice, And Lil 's mother.
The other madam, Pori XVII, Moli nineteen and whiz twenty five were not related to the boy, Drago and Malo were twins but not monovular, .they did not make out what had happened to their parents.

The whole group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hours when the loss leader of the lomen called a halt. He pointed to three of his group and speaking in a linguistic process they did not understand. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to watch them. Their guards pushed them down near a large refine 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 safe she lowered Lil into the kettle of fish and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the last and he slipped and fell making enough noise to wake the lomen. They ran as fast as they could then Ludi saw the brambles and every one tried to slip under them when the lomen grabbed the man and literally ripped him apart. One of the other lomen was reaching under the brambles and had grabbed on to Star .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took charge and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to make sure no one was injured. And they all stood there in fear not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his spear he stripped the barque from the saplings. And stood the haft near the fire to lead off the drying out and hardening of the shafts. He took the stones and began working on the blades for the spearhead. Drago and Malo sat close watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kittens following the cleaning woman and playing. The women seemed to drive the presence of the Saber-tooth cats as cancel. After making four fizgig blades and rotating the shafts Mondo decided it was time to await over the vale. He gather a few rock-and-roll and his slingback and motioned to the boys, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a small herd of bison, many rabbit, a mixture of birds and Capricorn the Goat and sheep and many other brute. They all seemed to be food animals other than small carnivores there did not seem to be any tumid predator. There was no evidence of Tigers, bears or beast. The most dangerous animal he saw was bovine. One stock had horns about six foot in length. The cervid population was abundant and they counted the stop on a orotund Stag as three hands plus two finger's breadth. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceable valley I had introduced three top of the line predator. They may be new now but … one day. I guess I would have to train them. And let them track down in the forest from the bramble bush ingress. I decided my estimate of the size of the valley was close very close but probably the valley was a bit big. In the distance Mondo could see a dark arena which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another departure. One day he vowed to take the air all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the boy returned the inner circle seemed to be vacate ... Mondo was worried, with shaft at the ready he entered camp. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the boy entered the cave and was met with the sight of ace completely nude and the others all waist deep in the consortium ... also nude. They saw him and the male child and waved to them, come in come in there is a hot give in the pool. Mondo looked around at the boy but was too late they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the piss. Mondo shed his own skins to the oohs and aahs of the adult charwoman. Mondo did n't have to do anything just walk into the consortium. The womanhood met him and began to rinse him even Lil tried to help but the womanhood said no.

The slings kept us in nutrient and skin for apparel. There was a plant that had blades that looked like blade, the thorn on the end of the sword could be broken off and a thin train of thought like piece about two feet long could be pulled out of the sword, this made for a perfect acerate leaf and thread. The thorn would see the light after about two weeks so the acerate leaf and yarn was constantly replaced as long as the sword was not cut. I taught all how to use the sling and they all seemed to be natural. It was a pleasant lifetime though I wished for more men to go after bigger secret plan and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not sleep together how much More she could engage. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to look for things to get raging about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to ignore it but he to had been casting his eyes at the fairness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to exact a new wife, but by the laws of the tribe Grog had acted first and Sharlu was his. If Tondar ever actually saw Grog beating Sharlu .... He would Challenge Grog. But now was not the fourth dimension. A nausea had swept through the Clan, Tobar the medicine Man worked with them all until he too became sick Before it was over they had lost six child, five men including Tobar and eight cleaning woman. The kin group was really hurting there was only xi men, five women and ten children. Of the ten children only three were over twelve and only one was male person. Some of the men were still very decrepit only three Hunter were available to course the tribe. No Tondar thinks, today is not a good day to take exception. Grog is needed.

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

Today whizz asked to go on the Holman Hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three miles from the Camp when hotshot dropped to her genu and put her point to the ground and pulled her clothing to the slope baring her delightful rear end. As she wiggled her fanny she tells Mondo she wants a baby. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to put down her. After the fourth miss superstar reached between her legs, took him in manus and guided him into her velvet baseball mitt. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went wild bouncing Star all over the background. Then he felt a foreign sensation and he grabbed her hips and shoved himself all the way into Star, His spill was like an explosion and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at adept feet, the rest of the aurora was spent the same way. They finished their hunt and star topology told him the other womanhood were waiting their turn. They had decided that their tribe needed more masses. Mondo walked around the remainder of the day with a big grinning on his face just thinking … he would get to do this to the other women too.

As they arrived back at refugee camp everyone knew that champion had been successful and every meter the early char would walk past Mondo they would twitch their tail at him. Even Lil as Danton True Young as she was got in on the tail twitching. Two months later all the adult female were meaning and Lil was asking her Mother why she could n't be pregnant too.

Mondo was training the big cat and as they became larger he began taking them out into the timberland past the Bramble gate. The African tea had made a undecomposed putting to death and I was dragging my travois with the core and pelt down the gully when St. Bruno came to a stop and I could here a rumble in Sondi 's throat. Runt was crouched in his tone-beginning modal value. I made a downward push with my script, I had trained them that this meant to crouch down and postponement. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a line of captives .My Cats hated lomen. I counted the prisoner, two men, six women and five children under twelve, two son and three girls. We followed knowing they would give up for a residuum soon. When they stopped we waited cashbox two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my sling and bounced a Rock off the guards temple killing him instantly. The guard duty falling awakened the former two lomen they began to rise but stopped when they felt the paws on their chest of drawers. St. Bruno and Sondi made one virgule and opened the throat of the two. shrimp not to be out done ripped out the throat of the one I had killed.


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

I looked around at the captives and told them not to care about the Cats, 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 rest of our fast ontogeny 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 number one time. Because I was strong and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant number 1 Max Born of their new kin group because one of the kid, a little girl named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was less than a year old.


As months passed and the adult female all became pregnant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were open of feeding the kin group for awhile. I decided to make another hunting 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 tribe. I took no food except for one meal and two water hide. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with fresh brambles and scouted the area to produce surely no lomen had been around.
biz seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no reason to belt down any tumid game on the way out. No sensory faculty of packing pelts both charge. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to reach sweeps around us. By night fall we had had no problems and I had killed enough small game to feed myself and the CT. I built up a fire and snuggled between the Cats and drifted off to log Z's.

The adjacent morning we continued our trek ... the Cats seemed to be uneasy and I noticed the quietude around us ... There is something wrong ... now I need to find out what.
I tried to get the hombre to reconnoiter but all they would do was rumble deep in their chest. I got my spears make and watched my Arabian tea, I knew they would discourage me of impending danger.

The hackles on Bruno 's cervix were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six animal foot from me also facing toward the way that St. Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my spears and backed between two bowlder that were about eighteen in apart. I still have no idea what I am about to look. Then Leo IX boom and is answered by a roar that chills even the best hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the bushes on all quadruplet. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hinder legs it was at least fifteen foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, Bruno attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all 4 and charged toward me. I set myself with my lance, just before the bear reached me a tawny missile struck the bear behind it 's left front line leg. Sondi held on. Then Bruno struck from the buns. The bear reared up again, as its head was raising up I struck with my gig straight for the throat. The first spear did not penetrate very far but it seemed to con mix the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the Boulder instead of me. The CT were ravishing the bears hind quarters then leaping aside when the bear tried to lash out them. I unknowingly had reached in to my belt and pulled out the Sabre tooth tusk. Sondi takes another glob out of the bears breast leg, the bear turns its drumhead 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 brain. Not realizing it is dead the turn out baseball swing back at me ... I back off, the bear roars and capitulation dead at my human foot.
I check my computerized axial tomography both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no bleeding is evident. I skin the bear. I took the tegument and a footling of the meat. I really hated to leave all that meat but predators and scavengers 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 run with it after my days travel.



9 baby

The cleaning lady at the cave began to collapse birth Star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All boys except champion her daughter was called Little Star. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the medicine Woman she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was for certain that by the meter Mondo came home all the babies will be born even slight Yo'te the last to get meaning. The men and boys kept the camp supplied with meat. Every day one of the male child and Runt would go to the bramble logic gate and lookout. The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a spear shaper and Grug was a thrower he made pots and arena for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to leave out Mondo his intensity and leading was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 hunters left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the children. Tondar is training lateen's girl Sonda who is already good with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. little girl Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very unmanageable to fertilize everyone. With as many that are still weak and regurgitate they were unable to make a motion to winter reason. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a dear dormant Volcano. estrus still permeated the undermine sphere from hot gasolene so they only needed ardor if they wished to falsify. Each hunter duo went out alone only time the whole radical would go out on a Richard Morris Hunt was if prominent game was spotted. At that meter the char who were stiff enough would make Travois to aid skinning and hauling of the meat if a kill was made. Sadly this was rare..

XV twenty-four hours later Mondo arrived at the Clans Summer encampment he was disheartened to see the barren burned out area. He searched around but could not distinguish if the Clan had been here when the fire occurred or if the ardour was old. He stayed there another 10 days making reconnoitring R-2 in all counsel. All he could really distinguish was the quat were uneasy in this burned out area. Two days ago the cats had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big lump of the meat and worked on the hide. He decided that in the morning time he would head up back. He had to let in he missed his new clan.

The succeeding dawning after a prompt look around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his guide and Sondi took point Mondo could secernate they were happy to be leaving this place. mean solar day turned into week it had been an easy stumble except for twice the Cats had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the computed tomography in the bushes and told them to be soundless and they watched the lomen searching for new captives. Their spirit was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to stay less than twenty pace away. The Cats did n't like it either but I was able to celebrate them quiet. Then they decided to charter a nap, That was more than I or the bozo could take in. I turned them liberate, in seconds there was two less lomen in these woods. It was a matter of beauty to watch them work now that they had nearly reached their replete growth. Leo IX was about five foot at the front articulatio humeri and about four base at the hind quarters. Sondi was just in smaller not that it mattered and shrimp at the cave was a full foot minor but I think half-pint was faster than his blood brother and sister.

I could see the dry washing ahead once I entered it I would be close to a mile from Bramble Gate. Now secretiveness was really needed the path above the dry wash was made by the lomen as they carry their captives to their home field ... Where ever that is. But today it was readable. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to move and out came Drago and peewee. I motioned them back interior and the Cats and I followed. All I could intend about for the past hour was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping thing, by the meter I was at the bound I was au naturel and walked out into the pond and sank down and closed my optic. After a few sighs I opened my eyes and was met by ten woman all carrying a babe. My mouth dropped open and I asked"Where did all the child come from ?"The only answer I got was smiling. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the statuesque trees on the other side. It has been 4 years since we had found our vale. We had learned how to smoke our kernel, there was an indention in the wall of the cave passage near way sized. It was near the Mary Jane hole, we had left some heart and soul on drying rack in this room and the smoke from our cook fire passed over it. When we tried this meat we were surprised by the discernment. We tried raw pith on the racks and the results were great. We were able to make fewer boastfully putting to death and no meat was wasted. Yes this was truly a fantastic valley.
I walked into the River at this point the water just reached my knees. Along the far banking company the fair sex were gathering berries in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the children, Malo had found it when it was a pup and raised it. We were as one with the animals. Shad and Gruk and the male child and I did to the highest degree of our major hunts out the bramble gate. That way we had the help of the Cats, they were still not used in the valley. The only time we hunted inside the vale was when it was winter at the bramble gate. Soon not even then.


Malo and Drago had herded 5 of the bovine creatures into a box canyon and had taken skirmish and blocked off their outflow. Later we had cut rod and using a crisscross method at the box and ends of the celestial pole 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 available. It was n't till breeding sentence that we found there was a trouble with the mix.

The two males fought for the right to cover. We watched the engagement the bombastic bull had horns 18"long on either incline of his capitulum. The smaller only had one horn the other had been broken off some fourth dimension earlier, he was clearly at a disadvantage. It did n't take long before the smaller bull was too spite to continue the conflict. With Mexican valium we had made by weaving landing strip of skins we managed to get the roach around the bull 's cervix we managed to get him out of the gate. We sent the male child to get the woman and the Travois and killed the fuzz and began butchering.

Over the years our herd has grown by lifelike nascency and capturing other females and adding them to our herd. Our Clan was also growing the like way. Most of the female person seemed to welcome our bearing. Which meant we only had to Isolate the horseshit to be able to figure out with the cows. Gurk had noticed that after a calf suckled a few dip of Milk River was on one of her tit. He reached down gently so as not to startle the cow and stroked the pap. To his surprise a stream of Milk shot out. He had Malo bring him a pot. He directed the Milk into the pot filling it to the top. He lifted the pot to his lips and sipped, his eyes flew open and he took an even bigger imbibe then handed the pot to Malo who also took a drink. The milk was very fat and creamy and tasted delicious.

spine at the cantonment Ludi was working on her own experiment. She had begun to take seed pods from industrial plant they had eaten and herbs for medication and had put them in the ground and watered them and they began to grow. Mondo had watched the cognitive operation and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the youngster collect the ejaculate pods from the Grass. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat locoweed. Mondo explained he was afraid that the moo-cow would eat all of the grass in the canyon. This way they could scatter the seeds all over the canyon and maybe it would grow and help oneself feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"deglutition, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a tone of surprise handed the pot to Ludi. After one taste 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 River removed as if it was too full-of-the-moon. Malo suggested we try to kick in some to Lorn 's infant since Lorn had dried up and had no milk for her babe. 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 baby 's mouth. The child began reaching and its mouth began suckling movement. Lorn immediately stuck her finger and copied Ludi 's movement.

Earlier Mondo had thought that this vale had no winter. It Did, but not dangerous and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the kernel of the valley would be deep with the blow maybe a base deep. The residual of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble Gate the C would be in drifts up to 6 feet inscrutable. The kinship group had many discussions about this ... They concluded that the vale was formed between hatful and the mountains had closed in at the top limiting the amount of snowfall that reached the ground before melting.

Lateen 's tale


When the malady hit the Clan I was one of the hold out to beguile 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 debile to do very much we had our minds set on our recuperation but the fever kept popping back up and Thomas More men and women had died. The Clan was near decimated, 5 men. 4 adult female and 6 children was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to stay fresh the Clan going but every decisiveness he made Grog questioned which caused unrest in the Tribe. After almost 4 age I finally had my strength back, Jonda, Tondar 's brother never recovered his broad strength and could not be allowed to go on a hunting alone. By now the jr. ones that had been trained by the huntsman now ranked as wide Hunters. nutrient was getting short, It was decided after often arguing by Grog that each of us would scout for big game and Jonda would watch the camp.

I headed in a general direction of southwestward we had agreed we would scout for three days and on the quartern we would return and account. On the 3rd day I had reached our old Summer cantonment, the fire burnt footing had given way to new maturation. I searched the area and found old infantry prints but zip new. I decided I had gone far enough and would get a good dark eternal sleep and depart back early. I had killed a cony with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a stick over the flame. While it cooked I thought about the problems with the kinship group. They did not make for as a family building block. Grog seemed to want to subscribe to over the leading 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 call on and suddenly every matter went bleak. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my centre. 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 ft saw that I was awake. He spoke in croaky audio and they stopped and lowered me to the ground. With a few swipes with a flint knife my feet 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 womanhood already had their hands and neck opening tied to that pole. I joined them. For days and workweek we were marched through the forest.

We were given fruit and berry to eat and a water skin twice a day. At night we would talk quietly. I learned that the lomen had raided their village and there were others than the three watching us. Tomorrow they will wait for the other groups to catch up. They are nervous about this area we will be entering, it seems they have lost a few men to the creature who walks with Tigers. What is that I ask. They said they did n't know they could only understand about one-half of what the lomen say.
The fair sex was the one who knew the most of their language. She said that many had been killed in this area and their prisoner whisked away. They would witness their admirer drug way into the forest and their throats would be torn out. most were not found before the pack rat got to them and then they were a heap. But what of the beast 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 huge.

I thought about the fauna and all the prisoner that had disappeared. The self-aggrandising foot I had ever seen was Mondo 's, but he had been dead for over 5 years. But Mondo ... that is how he got his name ; at birth his infantry 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 kernel, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the cat need some exercise too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to help gurk. Malo says Toba and Leo they have already been helping him so they know what to do.
Mondo decided to take all three kat runt needed to try a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the next dawning through the Bramble gate. They had been following the dry backwash for only a mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his shoulder at Mondo and rumbled deep in his throat. Sondi and shrimp slipped in amongst the group. I put my handwriting on them and could feel them trembling. This told me it was not game ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard interpreter and crashing through the bush ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the lavation. I always traveled the bottom of the washout. The top of the wash had bushes that blocked off the view of the actual Wash. We waited and let them exceed. I tell my Friend I heard human articulation as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would stop ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the Saami location, a glade that I had rescued the first off of my clan. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago climb up the hole near the refine tree. As soon as we attacked he would start cutting the multitude loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a noise and turns around and Runt charges and bites down on his genitalia ... I do n't know whats with that cat. The guard screams and Shad drives his spear into the guard pharynx. The other two lomen scream"The beast"and instead of turning to campaign they turned in fearfulness. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno we would make not been able-bodied to take hold of them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a insect bite out of the upper right hand thigh which cause the lomen to go down to the ground with Malo right wing behind, he drove his spear up all the way through the vertebral column and into his mettle. Bruno took down the third one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the substance of the vertebral column as the lomen hit the ground Bruno drove his tusks into the back of the lomen 's neck. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As common we drug the torso out into the George H.W. Bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the captive were free, I heard a gasp and a vocalism saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see lateen sail, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The cleaning lady looked at me then at my feet and said,"You are the wolf"then she drew back
as the Cats entered and went to my side.
lateen told me his tarradiddle from the time the tribe left thinking I was idle, all the way public treasury now. Then the other multitude told me of their capture and that there twelve more captive on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble Gate and inside. I told them we would deliver the rest of their tribe then they would hold a option. To either go back to their track down soil or to bring together our clan.

The adjacent morning the next group of prisoner arrived there were 6 of them and 4 guards. Mondo could sense the restlessness of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to find the number one radical waiting for them. I sent Leo IX off to the rightfield and instructed him to roar. When he did the lomen panicked. This was what Mondo was expecting, as t he lomen tried to runaway Sondi and runt charge them from behind. Shad and Drago arose in front man of them with lance at the ready. They thrust forward with their spears, Drago 's fizgig striking only the baseball club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to fall upon at Drago when Mondo and Bruno of Toul arrived. Never slowing down Bruno hit the loman in the chest knock 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 prisoner all free now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the group 2 women three teenagers, a boy and 2 girls, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and half-pint with the freed captives to the bramble logic gate. He gave them direction to remain in the wash near the muddle under the fallen tree and to harbor Runt back till 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 lead where it left the clearing. Leo IX was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the exit to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the trap where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell blood, the other four guards were also uneasy. As the guard duty blackguard came down on the border of the hole … a bird whistled, a Panthera leo roared and the safety disappeared down the fix. The boys had each grabbed a leg and yanked the precaution into the maw. Before he could reclaim Runt had removed his pharynx then leaped into the glade and was now facing the other four Guards. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their trees driving their spear into the chest of drawers of two of the safety device. The last two had no chance at all. They turned to run back and came aspect to face with Sondi and half-pint as they stopped Bruno hit them from the rear end. Drago and Malo were cutting the captives rid. This bunch consisted of 3 females 2males a minor about 10 and a sister in the arms of one of the charwoman. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and Lateen from Mondo 's home clan.

After they had all the people in to the cave Mondo and his Hunter really needed to hunt and set out at once. Ludi took the fledgling in mitt and talked to them. By the prison term the huntsman had returned with their putting to death it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the fair sex and the baby had decided to go back to their Village. The woman with the baby was just too infirm to make the trip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen, Bruno and Sondi would manoeuver them back then they would persist in on to Tondors Tribe.

Mondo 's Clan furnished all the men with spears including the teenage boy this made them a power to be reckoned with. 9 Spear men and 2 Big guy. I think they would enjoy meeting up with some lomen. The women were pulling the travois and each travois had at least 4 extra gig on it. Three days into their trek they got their wishing. Thanks to the hombre they were ready, the fair sex and tiddler gathered in the nerve center the men squatted around them with their spears angled out to protect the women.


The lomen charged out of the crotch hair screaming and waving their clubs. Mondo and lateen stood and began throwing their spears with the women handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the Cats attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the anchor shaft 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 take captive, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken finger cymbals and one dead. It was obvious that the char 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 adult female picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple metre. The early women jumped in and it was a melee after that.

terzetto 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 chief and the medicine man. After they conquered their awe of the CT we were welcomed with undefended branch. The people we had returned to their hamlet equaled over a third of the settlement population and were wife 's and daughters and don and Son. They were very significant to the hamlet. They threw us a feast that night and we departed early the next morning.

lateen sail assured Mondo that they only had two Thomas More twenty-four hour period till they reached the Cave of Tondars kinship group. He also told him about the discontentment Grog had caused. Lateen said he was sure that Grog had beaten Mondo's female parent but could not examine it.. Mondo informed him he needed no proof ... Grog had tried to kill him and that was enough he was going to anticipate him out..

Lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the rise. Mondo stepped out a piffling faster. A big Cat to either slope and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden Giant. The people of the kin group raised their hands to fill in their eyes trying to identify the image before them. Lateen picked this metre to step into the scene. He hollered,"Hello the Camp"…. Tondar yelled it is lateen sail. Sonda began to run to meet her Dad but seeing one of the Big Cats step forward caused her to kibosh. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the clique as Mondo 's spokesperson bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to belt down Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not hesitate he walked straight to Grog and one huge fist crashed into Grogs face. The reverse knocked grog to the ground. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the carnage, Saint Bruno and Sondi were walking a roundabout around the fighter. Grog tried to grab a spear to use against Mondo. But an enraged Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to beat his resister to a mush. Mondo slowly began to block off the beating and backed off looking at the fat clod of gelatin at his feet. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my decree and the practice of law of the kin group ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an banish him from the tribe. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your female parent ?"
"My female parent is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my checkmate, do you agree ?"since she had been declared a relinquish clanswoman it was her selection. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a immature woman and a clan hunter put her weapon system 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. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big African tea,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting meat on to misrepresent. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his fundament and drug him outside the refugee camp and dumped him there. As he walked into ingroup Lateen was telling everyone of Momd 's kin group and that there was no penury to move pack twice a year and there was a medicine cleaning lady and a commodity life.

So began the trek to the Bramble Gate.

Tondar spoke with Socar who had been Grog 's Hunter trainee. He asked him how he felt about the banishment of Grog ... Socar says the only thing he hate about it is he did not get to do the beating himself. When they would go on a hunt, Grog would belittle 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 meter went by on the lead the Orion hunted at their leisure. The nearer they came to their new family the more shake up they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could remove the Brambles logic gate there was an onslaught of children and Runt. They gathered the other nestling and drug them inside to show them everything. Mondo began doing the Lapplander with the adult. When they reached the early end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful valley. Our huts were beginning to pick out the shape of permanent structures. There was no need for temporary tax shelter anymore.

Tondar wanted to know everything about the Bos taurus, the meat smoking, and especially about the Milk. They sat around a campfire and talked way into the night. One of the issue they discussed was leading of the Clan. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's kin group but Tondar had always been Mondo's Chief. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his straits,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is sentence for juvenility to lead the Clan. As long as I am alive I will propose you as needed but You are now Chief."

Today we celebrate the joning of two kindred into one clan the"Clan of the Arabian tea !"

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