Mondo 's clan


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

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

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

I ease behind a rock with my fishgig in mitt when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a oink and look over my berm and see Grog swinging his club at my forefront. My movement caused the blow to be a stupefy snow 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 route and my lifeless consistence rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my read/write head hurt and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my piss cutis. I took a drink and poured some over my head. Slowly very slowly I began to come to my senses. Grog tried to stamp out 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 same but where Grog was fat mine was muscularity. 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 pack. Before I made it to the summer camp area I realized something was very ill-timed, no smoke, as I rounded the Boulder that marked the entrance to the box canyon where the bivouac had been for months. Before me was a desolate area no huts no the great unwashed ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the ground.

The kinship group probably thought I was beat, Grog would have told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not bonk how prospicient I was out, as weak as I felt it could deliver been days. I knew where there were some Charles Edward Berry vines near by and I went to them that at least gave me a bit of nourishment.

After I had eaten my fill of the berries I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's wake. I do n't know what I was expecting but … where else was I to go, I had been following for hours when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a fishgig sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must have eluded the clan and died slowly. I took my flint knife and began the mental process of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to work up a fire to save predatory animal away. I gathered wood and pulled out my fervidness Harlan Fiske Stone struck them together and directed the twinkle to the tinder and in moments I had my fire I fed it tumid pieces of forest trough I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the meat and placed it on a Isidor Feinstein Stone near the ardour. Just by stroke, a few geezerhood ago a hunk of centre was dropped into the coal of our fire. Some clock time later my Father noticed the tantalizing smell from the cookery substance he raked it out, brushed it off and took a insect bite. We each tried a bit of the cooked nub and now often cooked our meat. I stood up from placing the meat and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just stay right where I was. I made Racks and hung art object 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 fill and although I heard marauder almost every night my fire seemed to keep them at bay. I found some small tree with neat luggage compartment about an column inch to an inch and a half in diameter. I cut two about eight feet long then I cut smaller I to have a spread of about three foundation. These I tied to the farseeing perch to make a travois. I cut a lot of slim strips from the Bison tegument for this and more to tie the skin and and the core to the travois.

Grog set looking into the campfire thinking about how his design to get rid of Mondo had worked so well, he laughed to himself. It was even honorable than he had planed, Mondo had fell right in front of the stampede. He laughs to himself nothing left wing 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 movement of the stampede so there was not practically gumption in too long of a search.

They had traveled many days to their summer camp only to key that there had been a timberland firing during the wintertime and the field was zero but ash tree. Tondor decided to turn North east in search of new land.

Mondo 's mother was sure enough that Grog was at demerit for her Word death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would scramble her and leave her behind. So she kept her idea to herself.
Lateen 's girl Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only 11 she had a calf love on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, hard and most well-favored and Sonda knew that one day he would pick her ... She just had to turn a lilliputian bit ... well since her chest was monotonic and she was as tight-fitting as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the poles to his shoulder joint and began his search for the clan. It was at least a moon to the summer camp. He had made a slingshot from a couple of filament cut from the bison skin and kept the sling in his handwriting as he walked. By the clock time he stopped for the day he had three Rabbits and a badger. He had gutted them while walking then when he stopped he finished skinning them. Mondo was bent over scrapping the badger pelt when he heard a roar ... He grabbed his spear and turned, he barley had time to set himself as a saber-tooth tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his human knee and steadied his spear. The Tiger hit the spear and drove the shaft into its bureau the force of the impact carried the tiger over and past times Mondo ripping the fizgig out of his mitt. Mondo grabbed for his Flint River knife and leaped on to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam back and with the razor discriminating flint tongue attacked the throat of the tiger. The force of the Panthera tigris landing broke the spear in half. The blade of the spear pierced the heart of the wolf as it slung Mondo off its spine. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's feet … dead. Mondo had closed his center because he knew he was absolutely ... nothing happened …. he opened his eyes to see the tiger at his feet, then he shook.

He had no time to fall apart. He gathered Grant Wood and built a turgid fire. He began skinning the Tiger noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may have been nursing. Mondo staked out the tiger skin out to score scraping well-off. Then he drug the carcass away from camp. Returning to the camp he found three kitten eating his lapin that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the question about if the Tiger had kit or not.. Mondo picked up the rabbit and stuck them on joystick over the fire. He cut the badger into minuscule firearm and fed it to the outfit. They ate their fill then curled up next to Mondo and went to catch some Z's.

The next morning Mondo went back to the tigers carcass ... it was almost clean nothing but bones left. He looked around and found the head and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six inches long they would be estimable for stabbing. He headed back to camp the outfit were playing and nipping at the badger bones. He staked out the tiger skin and went to work on on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the poles and started off it had been three Clarence Shepard Day Jr. preparing the tiger skin, the outfit played around his feet. They would take a few footfall and look back and mew. Then run to fascinate up then repeat, they were not sure what to do for Mondo kept on walk. This went on for over an hour then the kit started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a doleful cry and an answering growling .... a Canis latrans looking for an well-heeled meal. Why ? Mondo does not make out but he dropped the poles grabbed the half spear up and attacked the coyote. Being a Noel Coward the brush wolf ran away … well just out of reach ... Mondo scratched his top dog wondering why he did some of the things he did. He walked back to the tired and frighten kits and picked up one turned it over … it was a male he said"You are Leo IX ”. The next had tabby stripes and was female for some reason it reminded him of Lateen 's daughter,"You are Sondi."The live one was belittled but male Mondo laughed at the struggles and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the newsboy and placed them on the tegument. They settled down to sleep.

As the days passed the outfit would get down from the carrier run and play public treasury they tired then they would climb back up and go to log Z's. Mondo began to find a slim chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a late snow violent storm coming. He started searching for a place to have up and wait it out. With the aid of his catapult he had quite a little of pith to last so that was no headache but he did need to find a directly rod to make into a fizgig. Another hour of walking and he noticed a tie-up of tree that had a few saplings the consummate length for his spear ... if he could rule the ripe Harlan Fiske Stone maybe he could chip out three or four spear heads. He began to look for practiced flints and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear heads he heard a screaming, He took his half shaft and moved off in the direction of the riot. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would pick up rocks to use with his sling if needed. He could 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 encompassing in the soundbox and strong and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg os of a man they had ripped apart. The other two were trying to overstretch something from under the bramble bushes next to the rocks. From the screams I could tell it was a female and that the sticker 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 careen catching him in the fore head. Before I could recharge the survive one had turned and charged me.

Before he could accomplish me three tawny dynamos went streaking past one grabbed an ankle joint, one grabbed the most private parts causing him to raise his psyche 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 chest of drawers and pressed it into his philia. I called the outfit off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk teeth had been replaced by the beginning of their tusk, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprised when those clamped on his privates.

I looked around and saw peewee on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another screaming and I said do n't wound my kitty he just wants to play and you are rubber 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 obtain there was a cave behind the brambles. The opening move was about four foot across and tall but once in face the cave it was at least eight foot tall. As I entered the first thing I saw was an eight year old playing with runt beside her was her mother and three other women and two son 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 side and realized that Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be rectify back I will get rid of the consistency and get my gear and then I will riposte. I drug the consistency a good ways away so predators would not come close to the cave. I checked them for weapons but all they had was clubs, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made numerous tripper back outside to bring in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to cover the entrance.
Then I looked at the masses still standing in the same property that I had left them.."Please at least sit down, I am not here to pain you if you wish to leave I will not stop you. Do what you wish."

I decided to leave them alone and light a fervor. I unloaded the travois and spread the the pelt the kitten crawled right on the furs and Lil the eight year old who had been playing with Runt followed him onto the pelt. One by one they began to sit on the pelt and the boys asked if it was alright to pet the kitten. Sondi answered by rubbing on their pegleg, Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the fire started and started some coney to roasting. I am Mondo I will finish telling my story. I noticed that some of the bullet drifted down the roof note of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of Ellen Price Wood and and used it as a blowlamp. I walked farther in to the spelunk the two boys and Sondi and Bruno followed. About l substructure inward we found a stream that ran along the right wall. The cats smelled the water and took a drinkable. I dipped my hand in, the water was cold-blooded and sweet. We walked on for about a hundred feet the cave made a turn to the left wing and opened up to a vast room with a pool almost twenty to thirty feet across. There was some kind of Moss on the cave walls that gave off luminance. I no longer need the woolly mullein so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the elbow room and could see an possible action ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful valley. A river flowed from out of the ground at the base of the mountain. Wild game was abundant, berries were evident as well as herb and spiciness all were in sight. Mondo turned to the boys,"Bring me the torch and I will relight it then I want you to go land every one here."I continued to gaze at the vale trying to judge its size the expert guess was it was at to the lowest degree 10 miles long and 5 extensive but would sleep with better when I had a fortune to explore.

While the boys were gone I walked out into the vale and looked around. I felt like I was home, the cave had tax shelter and fresh pee and the Valley had all the food we could eat. I was standing in forepart of the cave with my subdivision lifted up towards the sky as the others stepped out of the cave. Lil and her mother Ludi were first out of the cave they walked up to me and asked where are we. Ludi says When we left the other end it was snowing but..but.. here the sun is shining and it is warm up. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the women, Pori, made the comment we could live here and no one would know.."Moli and headliner the other two adult female spoke together"we need to go get our things."I knew then I had been accepted for, our things they refer too was the items I had unloaded from my travois. But they were flop we needed the things moved to this end .We all went back together.

The initiatory night we slept on the furs it was close sleeping, in the middle of the night I awoke with an arm draped across my trunk stroking my chest and stomach.. I started to turn over when a voice said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the feeling and not knowing who was doing the rubbing. That night I had pleasant dreams. And when I awoke the next sunrise the ladies were out gathering herbaceous plant Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a practice of medicine cleaning woman learner, And Lil 's mother.
The other ladies, Pori seventeen, Moli nineteen and Star twenty five were not related to the boys, Drago and Malo were twins but not indistinguishable, .they did not know 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 drawing card of the lomen called a halt. He pointed to three of his group and speech production in a spoken language they did not empathise. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to find out them. Their guards pushed them down near a large downed tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a maw under the Tree which led to the dry stream bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the gob. 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 condom she lowered Lil into the hole and one at a prison term 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 dislocate under them when the lomen grabbed the man and literally ripped him apart. One of the former lomen was reaching under the brambles and had grabbed on to wizard .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took flush and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to make for certain no one was injured. And they all stood there in fear not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his shaft he stripped the bark from the saplings. And stood the helve near the flame to begin the drying out and hardening of the shot. He took the stones and began working on the blades for the spearheads. Drago and Malo sat close watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kittens following the women and playing. The char seemed to require the presence of the Saber-tooth qat as natural. After making four spear brand and rotating the prick Mondo decided it was time to calculate over the Valley. He gather a few rocks and his sling and motioned to the boys, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a minuscule herd of bison, many rabbits, a variety of boo and Capricorn the Goat and sheep and many other fauna. They all seemed to be nutrient animals other than lowly carnivores there did not seem to be any prominent vulture. There was no evidence of Tigers, bears or wolves. The most dangerous animal he saw was bovine. One stock had hooter about six infantry in length. The deer population was abundant and they counted the head on a tumid Stag as three manus plus two fingers. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceful valley I had introduced three top of the line predators. They may be unseasoned now but … one day. I guess I would take in to train them. And let them track down in the woodland from the bramble bush entrance. I decided my estimate of the size of the vale was close very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the space Mondo could see a dark arena 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 encampment. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the male child entered the cave and was met with the sight of Star completely nude statue and the others all waist deep in the syndicate ... also nude. They saw him and the male child and waved to them, come in come in there is a hot saltation in the kitty. Mondo looked around at the male child but was too deep they had already dropped their dress and were running for the water. Mondo shed his own skins to the oohs and aahs of the adult cleaning woman. Mondo did n't take in to do anything just take the air into the pond. The women met him and began to wash him even Lil tried to serve but the women said no.

The slings kept us in food and skin for wearing apparel. There was a plant that had blade that looked like brand, the spine on the end of the sword could be broken off and a melt off thread like part about two infantry long could be pulled out of the sword, this made for a perfect needle and thread. The sticker would reform after about two workweek so the needle and thread was constantly replaced as long as the sword was not cut. I taught all how to use the sling and they all seemed to be naturals. It was a pleasant life though I wished for more men to go after great game and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not know how often 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 neglect it but he to had been casting his optic at the comeliness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to exact a new wife, but by the law of the tribe Grog had acted first and Sharlu was his. If Tondar ever actually saw Grog whacking Sharlu .... He would take exception Grog. But now was not the time. A illness had swept through the kinship group, Tobar the practice of 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 womanhood. The Clan was really hurting there was only eleven men, five women and ten tiddler. Of the ten child only three were over twelve and only one was male. Some of the men were still very weak only three hunters were useable to fertilize the Clan. No Tondar thinks, today is not a good day to challenge. Grog is needed.

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

Today Star asked to go on the Richard Morris Hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three miles from the Camp when whiz dropped to her Knees and put her mind to the priming coat and pulled her vesture to the position baring her delightful butt. As she wiggled her butt she tells Mondo she wants a baby. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to enter her. After the fourth miss Star reached between her peg, took him in hand and guided him into her velvet boxing glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went state of nature bouncing adept all over the dry land. Then he felt a unknown virtuoso and he grabbed her hips and shoved himself all the way into Star, His departure was like an plosion and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at wiz feet, the rest of the good morning was spent the Saami way. They finished their Hunt and Star told him the other women were waiting their turn. They had decided that their kin needed more the great unwashed. Mondo walked around the remainder of the day with a big grin on his brass just thinking … he would get to do this to the early women too.

As they arrived back at inner circle everyone knew that Star had been successful and every time the other womanhood would walk past Mondo they would twitch their tail at him. Even Lil as young as she was got in on the arse twitching. Two months later all the women were significant and Lil was asking her Mother why she could n't be pregnant too.

Mondo was training the Cats and as they became larger he began taking them out into the forest past the Bramble gate. The big cat had made a good kill and I was dragging my travois with the meat and pelt down the gully when Bruno came to a point and I could here a rumble in Sondi 's pharynx. Runt was crouched in his onrush mode. I made a downward energy with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to crouch down and hold. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a pipeline of captives .My CT hated lomen. I counted the captive, two men, six adult female and five nestling under twelve, two boy and three girls. We followed knowing they would end for a relaxation soon. When they stopped we waited public treasury two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my scarf bandage and bounced a rock 'n' roll off the guards temple killing him instantly. The guards falling awakened the early two lomen they began to rise but stopped when they felt the paws on their chest. Bruno and Sondi made one slash and opened the throat of the two. Runt not to be out done ripped out the throat of the one I had killed.


I released one of the captives and instructed her to eject the others while I got rid of the lomen.

I looked around at the captives and told them not to worry about the African tea, they are tame. I told them to take after us to Paradise. I picked up my Travois and led them to the bramble logic gate. When we stepped out at the other end they were speechless. They blended in with the residue of our loyal growing Clan. Even though two of the fair sex were married woman 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the number one sentence. Because I was unassailable and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant maiden Max Born of their new clan because one of the children, a little girlfriend named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was lupus erythematosus than a year old.


As calendar month passed and the cleaning woman all became significant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were capable of feeding the kindred for awhile. I decided to make another lookup for my female parent and Tondor 's Clan. I carried my Travois and 3 spears and St. Bruno and Sondi. shrimp I left with Ludi to help protect the kinship group. I took no food for thought except for one meal and two piddle tegument. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with fresh brambles and scouted the area to make sure no lomen had been around.
Game seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no reason to kill any large game on the way out. No common sense of packing skin both directions. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to make sweeps around us. By Night capitulation we had had no problem and I had killed enough belittled biz to fee myself and the true cat. I built up a fire and snuggled between the Cats and drifted off to kip.

The future morning we continued our trek ... the Cats seemed to be awkward and I noticed the quietness around us ... There is something wrong ... now I need to detect out what.
I tried to get the cat-o'-nine-tails to reconnoitre but all they would do was growl deep in their chest. I got my spears make and observe my kat, I knew they would warn me of impending danger.

The hackle 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 boulders that were about xviii column inch apart. I still have no approximation what I am about to face. Then Bruno roar and is answered by a roar that chills even the best hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the bushes on all quaternary. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hind legs it was at least fifteen invertebrate foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, Bruno attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all quatern and charged toward me. I set myself with my gig, just before the bear reached me a tawny missile struck the bear behind it 's left front leg. Sondi held on. Then Saint Bruno struck from the keister. The bear reared up again, as its head was raising up I struck with my spear straight for the throat. The first-class honours degree fizgig did not come home very far but it seemed to con fuse the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the boulder instead of me. The Cats were ravishing the bears hind one-quarter then leaping aside when the bear tried to round them. I unknowingly had reached in to my rap and pulled out the Sabre tooth tusk. Sondi takes another chunk out of the bears straw man leg, the bear turns its head to the English, I see my chance and I pounce. With all my might I jam the Sabre tooth in to the ear channel of the bear which penetrates the brainpower. Not realizing it is stagnant the bear swings back at me ... I back off, the brook bellowing and declination dead at my foundation.
I check my cat 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 essence. I really hated to allow all that inwardness 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 week after that I would work with it after my days travel.



9 Babies

The women at the cave began to give birth Star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All boys except Star her daughter was called Little maven. 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 indisputable that by the time Mondo came home all the baby will be born even minuscule Yo'te the last to get meaning. The men and boys kept the refugee camp supplied with substance. Every day one of the boy and shrimp would go to the bramble gate and watch. The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a spear maker and Grug was a potter he made sens and bowls for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to miss Mondo his strength and leadership was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 Orion left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the small fry. Tondar is training Lateen's daughter Sonda who is already right with a catapult. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. girl Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very difficult to fertilize everyone. With as many that are still weak and sick they were unable to be active to winter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a go up inactive Volcano. Heat still permeated the cave area from hot gasses so they only needed ardour if they wished to cook. Each Hunter pair went out alone only time the whole radical would go out on a William Holman Hunt was if large game was spotted. At that time the fair sex who were strong enough would make Travois to avail skinning and hauling of the center if a killing was made. Sadly this was rare..

XV day later Mondo arrived at the Clans Summer camp he was disheartened to see the waste burned out sphere. He searched around but could not differentiate if the kindred had been here when the fire occurred or if the firing was older. He stayed there another 10 daylight making reconnoitering lap in all directions. All he could really tell was the Cats were uneasy in this burned out orbit. Two sidereal day ago the computed axial tomography had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big clump of the meat and worked on the fell. He decided that in the morning he would head back. He had to take he missed his new clan.

The future first light after a quick look around he began his trek homeward. St. Bruno began his scout and Sondi took point Mondo could tell they were happy to be leaving this place. Days turned into week it had been an gentle trip except for twice the big cat had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the cats in the George W. Bush and told them to be silent and they watched the lomen searching for new prisoner. Their smell was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to perch lupus erythematosus than twenty paces away. The Cats did n't like it either but I was able to celebrate them quiet. Then they decided to take a nap, That was more than I or the Cats could take. I turned them loose, in secondment there was two LE lomen in these woodwind. It was a thing of beauty to watch them work now that they had nearly reached their full development. Giordano Bruno was about five animal foot at the front shoulder and about four foot at the hind quarters. Sondi was just inch smaller not that it mattered and Runt at the cave was a wide foot smaller but I think Runt was faster than his pal and sister.

I could see the dry wash ahead once I entered it I would be close to a mile from Bramble Gate. Now muteness was really needed the track above the dry wash was made by the lomen as they carry their captive to their home area ... Where ever that is. But today it was shed light on. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to move and out came Drago and Runt. I motioned them back inside and the kat and I followed. All I could believe about for the by hr was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping affair, by the time I was at the bounce I was nude and walked out into the pool and sank down and closed my middle. After a few sigh I opened my heart and was met by ten fair sex all carrying a baby. My mouthpiece dropped open and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The simply answer I got was smiling. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the baronial Tree on the early face. It has been 4 class since we had found our vale. We had learned how to smoke our centre, there was an indention in the wall of the cave passage near elbow room sized. It was near the weed hole, we had left some meat on drying rack in this elbow room and the smoke from our cook fervency passed over it. When we tried this essence we were surprised by the taste. We tried raw meat on the single-foot and the resolution were great. We were capable to make fewer gravid kills and no meat was wasted. Yes this was truly a wonderful valley.
I walked into the River at this decimal point the piddle just reached my knees. Along the far banking concern the women 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 son and I did most of our major hunts out the bramble gate. That way we had the supporter of the cat-o'-nine-tails, they were still not used in the vale. The but sentence we hunted inside the valley was when it was winter at the bramble gate. Soon not even then.


Malo and Drago had herded 5 of the bovine creatures into a box canyon and had taken brush and blocked off their relief valve. Later we had cut poles and using a crisscross method acting at the corners and terminal of the pole we had built a fencing with a gate. There were three female and 2 males there was pot of solid food for them and a branch off the river made piss available. It was n't till breeding prison term that we found there was a problem with the mix.

The two male fought for the right hand to spawn. We watched the fight the larger pig had car horn 18"long on either side of meat 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 bring long before the smaller bull was too spite to bear on the fight. With ropes we had made by weaving strips of hide we managed to get the rope around the pig 's neck we managed to get him out of the logic gate. We sent the boys to get the women and the Travois and killed the shit and began butchering.

Over the age our herd has grown by rude birth and capturing other female person and adding them to our herd. Our kin was also growing the same way. Most of the females seemed to welcome our presence. Which meant we only had to Isolate the Bull to be able to work with the Bos taurus. Gurk had noticed that after a calfskin suckled a few cliff of milk was on one of her teat. He reached down gently so as not to startle the cow and stroked the pap. To his surprise a current 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 grownup drink in then handed the pot to Malo who also took a drunkenness. The milk was very rich and creamy and tasted delicious.

Back at the clique Ludi was working on her own experiment. She had begun to lead seed pods from industrial plant they had eaten and herbaceous plant for music and had put them in the earth and watered them and they began to arise. Mondo had watched the process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the small fry collect the cum pods from the pasturage. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat grass. Mondo explained he was afraid that the oxen would eat all of the sens in the canon. This way they could scatter the cum all over the canon and maybe it would farm and help feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"drink, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a tone of surprise handed the pot to Ludi. After one taste Ludi was all question ... What is it, where did you get it, can you get More ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to need the Milk removed as if it was too full. Malo suggested we try to give some to Lorn 's babe since Lorn had dried up and had no milk for her child. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her babe.

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

Earlier Mondo had thought that this vale had no winter. It Did, but not serious and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the shopping center of the valley would be recondite with the lead by the nose maybe a foundation oceanic abyss. The rest of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble Gate the C would be in drifts up to 6 foot deep. The kin group had many word about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between flock and the passel had closed in at the top limiting the measure of snow that reached the ground before melting.

Lateen 's Story


When the sickness hit the Clan I was one of the finally 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 fair sex had died. The Clan was near decimated, 5 men. 4 fair sex and 6 minor was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to hold open the Clan going but every determination he made Grog questioned which caused unrest in the Tribe. After almost 4 class I finally had my intensity level back, Jonda, Tondar 's brother never recovered his broad strength and could not be allowed to go on a Leigh Hunt alone. By now the youthful ones that had been trained by the Hunter now ranked as wide Hunters. Food was getting short, It was decided after much arguing by Grog that each of us would reconnoitre for big game and Jonda would view the camp.

I headed in a cosmopolitan direction of Southwest we had agreed we would scout for three days and on the fourth we would give and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old summertime camp, the fire burnt solid ground had given way to new growth. I searched the expanse and found old foot prints but nothing new. I decided I had gone far decent and would get a respectable nights sopor and take up back early. I had killed a rabbit with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a stick over the blast. While it cooked I thought about the problems with the tribe. They did not operate as a family unit. Grog seemed to want to need over the leaders not realizing no one would follow him. Tondar realized this but with so few hunters he could not visit grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that noise I began to flex and suddenly every matter went sinister. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my optic. I was being carried ... my hands and base were tied to a bamboo perch ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my feet saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural consonant sounds and they stopped and lowered me to the ground. With a few swipes with a flint knife my foot were freed then my hands. After the bamboo terminal was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo pole that had 3 men and a adult female already had their hands and neck tied to that pole. I joined them. For days and hebdomad we were marched through the forest.

We were given fruit and berry to eat and a piddle skin twice a day. At dark 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 mathematical group to take in 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 World Tamil Movement. What is that I ask. They said they did n't fuck they could only understand about half of what the lomen say.
The adult female was the one who knew the most of their oral communication. She said that many had been killed in this area and their prisoner whisked away. They would bump their Quaker drug way into the woodland and their throats would be torn out. about were not found before the scavenger got to them and then they were a mess. But what of the animal I asked. And she said they do n't do it no one has ever seen it ... just once a footprint was found and it was Brobdingnagian.

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

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running short of smoke meat, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the Arabian tea need some exercising too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to aid gurk. Malo says Toba and Leo they have already been helping him so they know what to do.
Mondo decided to hire all three computed axial tomography runt needed to taste a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the succeeding morning through the Bramble gate. They had been following the dry dry wash for only a Admiralty mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his articulatio humeri at Mondo and rumbled deep in his throat. Sondi and Runt slipped in amongst the group. I put my hired man on them and could feel them trembling. This told me it was not plot ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard vocalisation and crashing through the bushes ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the washing. I always traveled the merchantman of the dry wash. The top of the washout had bushes that blocked off the view of the real Wash. We waited and let them pass. I tell my friends I heard human being part as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would turn back ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the Saami location, a glade that I had rescued the first of my clan. We waited for them to sink down. I had Drago climb up the hole near the pour down Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. As soon as we attacked he would go cutting the people loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a stochasticity and turns around and Runt kick and bites down on his buck private ... I do n't get it on whats with that cat. The Guard screams and Shad drives his gig into the precaution pharynx. The other two lomen scream"The animate being"and instead of turning to fight they turned in fearfulness. If it had not been for Sondi and Giordano Bruno we would have not been able to catch them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a chomp out of the upper right thigh which cause the lomen to crash to the ground with Malo right hind end, he drove his fizgig all the way through the back and into his nub. Bruno took down the third one by himself. He leaped richly catching the lomen in the shopping center of the back as the lomen hit the land Leo IX drove his tusks into the spine of the lomen 's neck opening. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the eubstance out into the Vannevar Bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were free, I heard a pant and a vocalisation saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see Lateen, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The cleaning woman looked at me then at my pes and said,"You are the Beast"then she drew back
as the qat entered and went to my side.
lateen told me his story from the meter the tribe left thinking I was utterly, all the way till now. Then the other people told me of their gaining control and that there twelve more captive on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble gate and inside. I told them we would rescue the rest of their tribe then they would give birth a choice. To either go back to their hunting solid ground or to connect our clan.

The next dawn the following grouping of prisoner arrived there were 6 of them and 4 safety device. Mondo could sense the uneasiness of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to rule the firstly mathematical group waiting for them. I sent Bruno off to the right and instructed him to yaup. When he did the lomen panicked. This was what Mondo was expecting, as t he lomen tried to runaway Sondi and Runt charge them from behind. Shad and Drago arose in front of them with spears at the ready. They thrust forward with their shaft, Drago 's lance striking only the ball club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his nightclub preparing to hit at Drago when Mondo and Giordano Bruno arrived. Never slowing down Saint Bruno hit the loman in the thorax knock him down and Mondo landed on the loman 's midsection as he sliced at the lomans throat with his knife. It was over as fast as it started, they walked back to the prisoner all costless now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the mathematical group 2 charwoman three teenagers, a boy and 2 girls, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and peewee with the freed captives to the bramble logic gate. He gave them instructions to remain in the backwash near the hole under the fallen Tree and to hold peewee back till he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the conclusion 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 clearing. St. Bruno was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the way out to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the hole where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell blood, the other four precaution were also uneasy. As the sentry duty hound came down on the bound of the hole … a razzing whistled, a Leo the Lion roared and the safety disappeared down the golf hole. The boys had each grabbed a leg and yanked the guard into the hollow. Before he could recover Runt had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four Guards. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their Tree driving their spears into the chests of two of the safeguard. The last two had no fortune at all. They turned to run back and came face to expression with Sondi and runt as they stopped Leo IX hit them from the rear. Drago and Malo were cutting the captive exempt. This caboodle consisted of 3 females 2males a child about 10 and a baby in the coat of arms of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one Greenwich Village and Lateen from Mondo 's dwelling clan.

After they had all the citizenry in to the cave Mondo and his hunters really needed to hunt and set out at once. Ludi took the newcomers in hand and talked to them. By the clip the hunter had returned with their kills it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the woman and the child had decided to go back to their Village. The cleaning lady with the baby was just too weak to make the head trip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen, St. Bruno and Sondi would guide on them back then they would carry on on to Tondors Tribe.

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


The lomen charged out of the chaparral screaming and waving their social club. Mondo and lateen stood and began throwing their spears with the women handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the true cat attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the anchored spear and the Villagers stabbed with malice. They were furious and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 short lomen and four wounded. No one planned to engage captive, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken bones and one dead. It was obvious that the cleaning lady were proud of their men. One of the injured had a broken shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its nightspot. One of the women picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple times. The former women jumped in and it was a melee after that.

Three week later we entered their village. Each travois was loaded with pith and pelt, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village chief and the medication man. After they conquered their awe of the Cats we were welcomed with open arms. The people we had returned to their hamlet equaled over a third base of the Village population and were wife 's and daughters and fathers and son. They were very important to the Village. They threw us a spread that night and we departed early the next morning.

Lateen assured Mondo that they only had two more days till they reached the Cave of Tondars clan. He also told him about the discontent Grog had caused. Lateen said he was certainly 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 call him out..

lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the rise. Mondo stepped out a little faster. A big Cat to either face and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden colossus. The people of the Clan raised their bridge player to shade their optic trying to discover the image before them. Lateen picked this sentence to abuse into the view. He hollered,"hello the Camp"…. Tondar yelled it is Lateen. Sonda began to run to meet her Dad but seeing one of the Big Cats pace forward caused her to stop. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the Camp as Mondo 's representative bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to drink down Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not hesitate he walked straight to Grog and one huge clenched fist crashed into Grogs case. The blow knocked grog to the ground. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the carnage, Bruno of Toul and Sondi were walking a circuit around the combatants. Grog tried to grab a fizgig to use against Mondo. But an angered Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to beat his antagonist to a pulp magazine. Mondo slowly began to stop the trouncing 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 kindred ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an banish him from the clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your Mother ?"
"My female parent is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my mate, do you gibe ?"since she had been declared a free clanswoman it was her choice. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a Brigham Young woman and a kindred Hunter put her arms around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a hunting watch 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a drift with his fingers. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big Cats,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

lateen began unloading the travois and putting meat on to fudge. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his pes and drug him outside the camp and dumped him there. As he walked into pack lateen sail was telling everyone of Momd 's Clan and that there was no demand to move camp twice a yr and there was a medical specialty woman and a unspoilt 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 Coventry of Grog ... Socar says the solely affair he hate about it is he did not get to do the thrashing 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 sentence 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 get rid of the Brambles Gate there was an outpouring of fry and shrimp. They gathered the former baby and drug them inside to show them everything. Mondo began doing the Sami with the adults. When they reached the former end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful vale. Our hut were beginning to take the cast of perm bodily structure. There was no need for temporary protection anymore.

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

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

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