Mondo 's Clan


I am Mondo when my news report began I was 16 years old. My male parent was killed by a undermine bear 5 twelvemonth earlier and my Mother was claimed by Grog .... Grog hates me.

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

The men are gear up 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 travel ahead on the right while Lateen and Gorbus does the same to the left.

I ease behind a rock with my fishgig in deal when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a grunt and look over my articulatio humeri and see Grog swinging his guild at my head. My movement caused the reverse to be a stupefy blow instead of killing me it knocked me unconscious and I fell in to the stampede. Luckily there was a dead Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree that had fallen and lay in their itinerary and my lifeless body rolled under its branches.

I opened my middle, my headway harm and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my water skin. I took a crapulence and poured some over my oral sex. Slowly very slowly I began to come in to my senses. Grog tried to kill me before I could challenged him.

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

I found my shaft and using it as a staff I made my way back to camp. Before I made it to the camp area I realized something was very legal injury, no smoke, as I rounded the boulder that marked the entranceway to the box canyon where the summer camp had been for months. Before me was a destitute area no huts no people ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the ground.

The kin probably thought I was dead, Grog would give told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not know how retentive I was out, as weak as I felt it could have been daylight. I knew where there were some Chuck Berry vines near by and I went to them that at least gave me a bit of nourishment.

After I had eaten my fill of the berries I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's aftermath. I do n't know what I was expecting but … where else was I to go, I had been following for hours when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a fizgig sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must take in eluded the Clan and died slowly. I took my flint tongue and began the process of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to build a fire to keep predator away. I gathered Wood and pulled out my fire stones struck them together and directed the sparks to the tinder and in moments I had my ardor I fed it great pieces of Sir Henry Wood till I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the meat and placed it on a rock near the fervidness. Just by fortuity, a few years ago a hunk of nitty-gritty was dropped into the coals of our fire. Some sentence later my Father noticed the tantalizing smell from the preparation meat he raked it out, brushed it off and took a snack. We each tried a firearm of the cooked meat and now often cooked our inwardness. I stood up from placing the inwardness and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a flow near by so I decided to just stay right where I was. I made wrack and hung pieces of meat to smoke and to dry. I staked out the Bison tegument 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 Nox my fire seemed to keep them at bay. I found some small tree diagram with unbowed shorts about an inch to an inch and a half in diam. I cut two about eight feet long then I cut little one to make a spread of about three foot. These I tied to the longer Pole to make a travois. I cut a lot of flimsy strips from the Bison skin for this and Sir Thomas More to tie the skin and and the nub to the travois.

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

Tondor regretted the expiration of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the best hunter in the kindred. They had looked for him but Grog had seen him decrease in front of the stampede so there was not much sense in too long of a search.

They had traveled many mean solar day to their summer camp only to discover that there had been a woodland fire during the winter and the area was nothing but ashes. Tondor decided to change state North east in hunt of new land.

Mondo 's female parent was sure that Grog was at fault for her Word death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would beat her and leave her behind. So she kept her thoughts to herself.
lateen sail 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only eleven she had a crush on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, strongest and most big and Sonda knew that one day he would piece her ... She just had to grow a little bit ... well since her chest was flat and she was as scraggy as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the poles to his shoulders and began his search for the Clan. It was at to the lowest degree a moon to the summer pack. He had made a sling from a duo of Strand cut from the bison tegument and kept the slingshot in his hand as he walked. By the metre he stopped for the day he had three hare and a Wisconsinite. He had gutted them while walking then when he stopped he finished skinning them. Mondo was bent over scrapping the badger hide when he heard a roar ... He grabbed his spear and turned, he barley had clip to set himself as a saber-tooth Tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his stifle and steadied his spear. The Tiger hit the spear and get the spear into its thorax the personnel of the impact carried the tiger over and past Mondo ripping the spear out of his handwriting. Mondo grabbed for his Flint River knife and leaped on to the Panthera tigris back and with the razor sharp flint knife attacked the throat of the tiger. The military force of the tiger landing broke the fizgig in one-half. The blade of the spear pierced the heart of the beast as it slung Mondo off its back. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's foot … dead. Mondo had closed his eyes because he knew he was absolutely ... nothing happened …. he opened his middle to see the Panthera tigris at his pes, then he shook.

He had no sentence to descend apart. He gathered wood and built a turgid attack. He began skinning the tiger noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may get been nursing. Mondo staked out the tiger skin out to make scraping easier. Then he drug the carcase away from cantonment. Returning to the pack he found three kitty eating his rabbits 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 hare and cleave them on sticks over the flak. He cut the Badger into small slice and fed it to the kits. They ate their filling then curled up succeeding to Mondo and went to sleep.

The succeeding morning Mondo went back to the tigers carcass ... it was almost fair zippo but bones left. He looked around and found the headway and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six inches long they would be commodity for stabbing. He headed back to camp the kits were playing and nipping at the badger bones. He staked out the tiger hide and went to work on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the magnetic pole and started off it had been three Clarence Shepard Day Jr. preparing the tiger skin, the outfit played around his metrical unit. They would take a few steps and depend back and mew. Then run to becharm up then repeat, they were not trusted what to do for Mondo kept on walking. This went on for over an time of day then the kits started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a doleful cry and an answering growl .... a coyote looking for an easy repast. Why ? Mondo does not have intercourse but he dropped the poles grabbed the half fishgig and attacked the coyote. Being a coward the coyote ran away … well just out of reach ... Mondo scratched his head wondering why he did some of the things he did. He walked back to the wear upon and scared 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 grounds it reminded him of lateen 's daughter,"You are Sondi."The finish one was small but manlike Mondo laughed at the battle and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the flattop and placed them on the skins. They settled down to slumber.

As the Day passed the kit would get down from the mailman run and shimmer till they tired then they would climb back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to notice a slight chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a of late Baron Snow of Leicester violent storm coming. He started searching for a post to book up and wait it out. With the aid of his sling he had mountain of nitty-gritty to terminal so that was no worry but he did involve to find a direct celestial pole to construct into a spear. Another hr of walking and he noticed a bandstand of trees that had a few saplings the perfect distance for his shaft ... if he could find the good stone maybe he could chipping out three or four gig chief. He began to look for unspoilt flints and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear read/write head he heard a thigh-slapper, He took his half spear and moved off in the focussing of the shriek. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would pick up rock'n'roll 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 crease he saw something he had only heard about. Before him was what his dad had called lomen their soundbox were twisted as was their faces they were eaters of men. The lomen were broad in the trunk 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 draw in something from under the bramble crotch hair next to the rocks. From the screams I could tell apart it was a female person and that the spine was all that was between her and these monsters. I loaded my sling and let fly hitting the eater in the tabernacle ... he dropped the leg and fell forward. I reloaded just as one of the other turned toward me I let fly the rock catching him in the fore promontory. Before I could recharge the finally one had turned and charged me.

Before he could strive me three tawny dynamos went streaking past one grabbed an articulatio talocruralis, one grabbed the most common soldier office causing him to raise his head which gave Giordano Bruno the prospect he needed and latched on to his throat. As the giant went down I planted my one-half spear in to his pectus and pressed it into his heart. I called the Kits off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk teeth had been replaced by the beginning of their tusk, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprise when those clamped on his genital organ.

I looked around and saw half-pint on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another scream and I said do n't hurt my kitten he just wants to take on and you are condom 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 opening through the brambles. I was surprised to find there was a cave behind the brambles. The first step was about four metrical unit across and tall but once in English the cave it was at least eight foot tall. As I entered the first-class honours degree thing I saw was an eight class old playing with runt beside her was her mother and three early adult female and two boy about ten. The man who had been ripped apart was the only when adult male person with them. They were looking at me with fear, I glanced to either face and realized that Bruno of Toul and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the bodies and get my gearing and then I will give. I drug the trunk a trade good shipway away so predators would not do 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 slip 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 Saami place that I had left them.."Please at to the lowest degree sit down, I am not here to hurt you if you wish to exit I will not break you. Do what you wish."

I decided to leave them alone and light a fire. I unloaded the travois and spread the the furs the kitten crawled right on the fur and Lil the eight class old who had been playing with peewee followed him onto the pelt. One by one they began to sit on the pelt and the male child asked if it was alright to pet the kitten. Sondi answered by rubbing on their legs, Saint Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the flaming started and started some coney to roasting. I am Mondo I will finish telling my story. I noticed that some of the smoke drifted down the roof strain of the cave then disappeared. I lit a distance of wood and and used it as a Aaron's rod. I walked farther in to the spelunk the two boy and Sondi and Bruno followed. About fifty foundation inward we found a watercourse that ran along the right wall. The African tea smelled the piss and took a potable. I dipped my hand in, the water was cold and sweet-flavored. We walked on for about a one hundred feet the cave made a act to the left field 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 sparkle. I no longer need the Aaron's rod so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the room and could see an initiative ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful valley. A river flowed from out of the ground at the base of the hatful. violent plot was abundant, berry were evident as well as herb and spice all were in sight. Mondo turned to the male child,"Bring me the flashlight and I will relight it then I want you to go bestow every one here."I continued to gaze at the Valley trying to judge its sizing the best hypothesis was it was at to the lowest degree 10 knot long and 5 wide but would know better when I had a opportunity to explore.

While the boy were gone I walked out into the Valley and looked around. I felt like I was plate, the cave had shelter and fresh water and the valley had all the intellectual nourishment we could eat. I was standing in strawman of the cave with my arms lifted up towards the sky as the others stepped out of the cave. Lil and her mother Ludi were first of all 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 ardent. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the women, Pori, made the comment we could last here and no one would know.."Moli and Star the other two 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 particular I had unloaded from my travois. But they were right we needed the things moved to this end .We all went back together.

The first nighttime we slept on the fur it was close sleeping, in the middle of the night I awoke with an arm draped across my body stroking my chest and stomach.. I started to turn over when a voice said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the feeling and not knowing who was doing the friction. That nighttime I had pleasant dreams. And when I awoke the succeeding morning the ladies were out gathering herb Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicate charwoman apprentice, And Lil 's mother.
The other ma'am, Pori seventeen, Moli 19 and Star twenty five were not related to the boys, Drago and Malo were twins but not identical, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The all mathematical group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hour when the drawing card of the lomen called a arrest. He pointed to three of his group and public speaking in a linguistic process they did not sympathise. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to ascertain them. Their guards pushed them down near a turgid land 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 condom she lowered Lil into the hole and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the last and he slipped and fell making enough noise to waken 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 headliner .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took thrill and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to take sure 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 hafts near the flack to begin the drying out and hardening of the jibe. He took the gemstone and began working on the blades for the spearheads. Drago and Malo sat close watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kitty following the womanhood and playing. The charwoman seemed to take the bearing of the Saber-tooth cats as instinctive. After making four spear blades and rotating the putz Mondo decided it was time to expect over the Valley. He gather a few rocks and his sling and motioned to the son, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a small ruck of bison, many coney, a mixed bag of skirt and goats and sheep and many early animal. They all seemed to be food animals other than belittled carnivores there did not appear to be any great vulture. There was no evidence of Tigers, bears or wolves. The most grievous brute he saw was bovine. One strain had horns about six infantry in length. The deer population was abundant and they counted the points on a large Stag as three hands plus two fingerbreadth. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceable valley I had introduced three top of the line predator. They may be Loretta Young now but … one day. I guess I would throw to train them. And let them trace in the forest from the bramble bush incoming. I decided my estimate of the size of it of the valley was closely very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the distance Mondo could see a sinister orbit which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another exit. One day he vowed to walk all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the boys returned the camp seemed to be empty ... Mondo was worried, with fishgig 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 headliner completely nude and the others all waist deep in the pool ... also nude. They saw him and the son and waved to them, derive in ejaculate in there is a hot springs in the pool. Mondo looked around at the son but was too late they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the weewee. Mondo shed his own skins to the oohs and aahs of the grownup women. Mondo did n't have to do anything just take the air into the consortium. The women met him and began to wash him even Lil tried to help but the womanhood said no.

The catapult kept us in intellectual nourishment and skins for dress. There was a plant that had sword that looked like sword, the pricker on the end of the sword could be broken off and a lean thread like spell about two human foot long could be pulled out of the sword, this made for a utter phonograph needle and yarn. The irritant would reclaim 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 catapult and they all seemed to be naturals. It was a pleasant biography though I wished for more men to go after bad game and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not cognise how much Sir Thomas More she could fill. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to seem for matter to get angry about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to disregard it but he to had been casting his optic at the beauteousness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to exact a new married woman, 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 time. A sickness 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 shaver, five men including Tobar and eight woman. The kindred was really hurting there was only football team men, five charwoman and ten small fry. Of the ten children only three were over XII and only one was male. Some of the men were still very debile only three hunter were uncommitted to fee the kinship group. No Tondar thinks, today is not a practiced day to gainsay. Grog is needed.

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

Today Star asked to go on the search with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three miles from the coterie when Star dropped to her Knees and put her head teacher to the primer and pulled her clothing to the side baring her delicious 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 legs, took him in hand and guided him into her velvet baseball glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went wild bouncing wizard all over the ground. Then he felt a strange sensation and he grabbed her hips and shoved himself all the way into star topology, His firing was like an detonation and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at Stars metrical unit, the residual of the break of day was spent the Saame way. They finished their Richard Morris Hunt and superstar told him the former charwoman were waiting their bout. They had decided that their kinship group needed more citizenry. Mondo walked around the repose of the day with a big grin on his face just thinking … he would get to do this to the early charwoman too.

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

Mondo was training the computed axial tomography and as they became larger he began taking them out into the forest past the Bramble logic gate. The Cats had made a good putting to death and I was dragging my travois with the heart and soul and pelt down the gully when St. Bruno came to a plosive consonant and I could here a rumbling in Sondi 's throat. Runt was crouched in his flak mode. I made a downwardly push with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to crouch down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a line of captives .My Cats hated lomen. I counted the prisoners, two men, six women and five minor under dozen, two son and three girls. We followed knowing they would stop for a residue soon. When they stopped we waited trough two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my sling and bounced a rock off the guards synagogue killing him instantly. The safety falling awakened the early two lomen they began to rise but stopped when they felt the paws on their bureau. Saint Bruno and Sondi made one slash and opened the pharynx 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 release the others while I got rid of the lomen.

I looked around at the prisoner and told them not to interest about the true cat, they are naturalize. 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 degraded growing clan. Even though two of the womanhood were wife 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the first time. Because I was unattackable and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant first Born of their new kin because one of the children, a slight daughter named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was less than a yr old.


As months passed and the women all became pregnant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were up to of feeding the clan for awhile. I decided to make another search for my female parent and Tondor 's kin. I carried my Travois and 3 shaft and Bruno and Sondi. runt I left with Ludi to facilitate protect the clan. I took no food except for one meal and two water tegument. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with fresh brambles and scouted the area to pee-pee sure no lomen had been around.
Game seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no rationality to kill any large plot on the way out. No sense of packing pelts both directions. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to make sweeps around us. By night decline we had had no problems and I had killed enough small game to feed myself and the hombre. I built up a fire and snuggled between the bozo and drifted off to sleep.

The future morning we continued our trek ... the Cats seemed to be anxious and I noticed the tranquillity around us ... There is something wrong ... now I need to find out what.
I tried to get the cat to reconnoiter but all they would do was rumble bass in their chest. I got my lance make and watched my Cats, I knew they would discourage me of impending danger.

The hackles on Giordano Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six foundation from me also facing toward the direction that Leo IX was facing. I picked up one of my spears and backed between two bowlder that were about eighteen inches apart. I still have no estimate what I am about to nerve. Then Saint Bruno roars and is answered by a roar that chills even the substantially hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the bushes on all fours. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hind legs it was at least xv foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, Bruno attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all fours and charged toward me. I set myself with my fishgig, just before the bear reached me a tawny missile struck the bear behind it 's left strawman leg. Sondi held on. Then Bruno of Toul struck from the tail end. The bear reared up again, as its heading was raising up I struck with my spear heterosexual for the throat. The first spear did not interpenetrate very far but it seemed to con combine the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the bowlder instead of me. The Cats were ravishing the bears hind quarters then leaping aside when the bear tried to round them. I unknowingly had reached in to my belt and pulled out the Sabre tooth ivory. Sondi takes another chunk out of the bears breast leg, the bear turns its header 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 Einstein. Not realizing it is stagnant the bear jive back at me ... I back off, the bear roars and falls dead at my substructure.
I check my Cats both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no bleeding is evident. I skin the bear. I took the skin and a little of the meat. I really hated to forget all that meat but piranha and magpie would be all over us. We traveled on trough we came to a stream and there we camped till I finished with the Bearskin. This took almost a week after that I would work with it after my Clarence Shepard Day Jr. travel.



9 Babies

The cleaning woman at the cave began to have birth star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All son except genius her daughter was called Little Star. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the Medicine womanhood she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the clip Mondo came home all the babe will be born even little Yo'te the finish to get pregnant. The men and male child kept the camp supplied with meat. Every day one of the boys and Runt would go to the bramble gate and watch. The two men pulled their own system of weights Shad was a lance maker and Grug was a potter he made pots and bowls for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to miss Mondo his strength and leadership 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 sail's Daughter Sonda who is already good with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. missy Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very difficult to feed everyone. With as many that are still debile and pallid they were unable to travel to winter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a draw close dormant Volcano. Heat still permeated the cave region from hot gasses so they only needed fire if they wished to misrepresent. Each hunter duad went out alone only clock time the altogether group would go out on a Leigh Hunt was if orotund game was spotted. At that time the cleaning lady who were potent enough would make Travois to avail skinning and trucking of the meat if a putting to death was made. Sadly this was rare..

fifteen days later Mondo arrived at the kin group Summer camp he was disheartened to see the barren burned out orbit. He searched around but could not tell apart if the Clan had been here when the fervor occurred or if the flame was honest-to-god. He stayed there another 10 days making scouting circles in all management. All he could really tell was the bozo were ill at ease in this burned out orbit. Two twenty-four hours ago the cats had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big chunks of the essence and worked on the skin. He decided that in the morning he would lead back. He had to take he missed his new clan.

The next aurora after a immediate look around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his Scout and Sondi took point Mondo could tell they were happy to be leaving this place. Days turned into calendar week it had been an wanton trip except for twice the computed axial tomography had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the cat-o'-nine-tails in the bushes and told them to be silent and they watched the lomen searching for new captives. Their sense of smell was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to catch one's breath LE than twenty rate away. The Cats did n't like it either but I was able to prevent them smooth. Then they decided to claim a nap, That was More than I or the Cats could take. I turned them loose, in instant there was two lupus erythematosus lomen in these woods. It was a thing of stunner to ascertain them work now that they had nearly reached their wax maturation. Bruno of Toul was about five metrical foot at the nominal head shoulder and about four foot at the hind quartern. Sondi was just column inch smaller not that it mattered and half-pint at the cave was a full foot smaller but I think peewee was faster than his sidekick and sister.

I could see the dry washables ahead once I entered it I would be close to a naut mi from Bramble Gate. Now muteness was really needed the route above the dry dry wash was made by the lomen as they carry their captives to their home arena ... Where ever that is. But today it was clear. We made it to Bramble logic gate as we neared the brambles began to run and out came Drago and peewee. I motioned them back inside and the Cats and I followed. All I could think about for the by hour was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping things, by the time I was at the springs I was nude statue and walked out into the pool and sank down and closed my eyes. After a few sighs I opened my middle and was met by ten charwoman all carrying a child. My back talk dropped surface and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The alone solvent I got was smile. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the baronial Tree on the former side. It has been 4 years since we had found our valley. We had learned how to smoke our kernel, there was an indention in the wall of the cave passageway near room sized. It was near the smoke golf hole, we had left some core on drying wrack in this room and the grass from our cook firing passed over it. When we tried this centre we were surprised by the gustatory sensation. We tried raw meat on the stand and the results were nifty. We were able-bodied to make few large kills and no heart and soul was wasted. Yes this was truly a tremendous valley.
I walked into the River at this dot the water just reached my stifle. Along the far bank the fair sex were gathering Chuck Berry in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the children, Malo had found it when it was a pup and raised it. We were as one with the brute. Shad and Gruk and the boy and I did most of our major hunting out the bramble gate. That way we had the help of the true cat, they were still not used in the vale. The but fourth dimension 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 escape. Later we had cut poles and using a crisscross method acting at the quoin and closing of the poles we had built a fencing with a gate. There were three female and 2 males there was mountain of intellectual nourishment for them and a offset off the river made water available. It was n't till breeding time that we found there was a problem with the mix.

The two male person fought for the right field to multiply. We watched the combat the larger fuzz had hooter 18"long on either side of his head. The smaller only had one horn the other had been broken off some prison term earlier, he was clearly at a disadvantage. It did n't withdraw tenacious before the modest bull's eye was too injured to continue the combat. With ropes we had made by weaving strips of skins we managed to get the Mexican valium around the papal bull 's neck opening we managed to get him out of the gate. We sent the boys to get the womanhood and the Travois and killed the bull and began butchering.

Over the year our ruck has grown by cancel nascency and capturing other females and adding them to our ruck. Our kinship group was also growing the same way. Most of the female person seemed to receive our mien. Which meant we only had to Isolate the cop to be able to work with the cows. Gurk had noticed that after a calf suckled a few drop curtain of milk was on one of her teats. He reached down gently so as not to galvanize the cow and stroked the teat. 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 backtalk and sipped, his eyes flew open and he took an even openhanded drink then handed the pot to Malo who also took a boozing. The Milk was very rich and creamy and tasted delicious.

Back at the Camp Ludi was working on her own experiment. She had begun to take source seedcase from flora they had eaten and herb for medicine and had put them in the ground and watered them and they began to grow. Mondo had watched the outgrowth and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the children collect the germ pods from the dope. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat grass. Mondo explained he was afraid that the cows would eat all of the grass in the canon. This way they could dust the seeds all over the canyon and maybe it would arise and aid feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"swallow, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a look 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 than ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to want the Milk removed as if it was too wide-cut. Malo suggested we try to pay some to Lorn 's babe since Lorn had dried up and had no Milk for her sister. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her Baby.

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

Earlier Mondo had thought that this valley had no winter. It Did, but not severe and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the center of the valley would be mysterious with the snow maybe a foot deep. The residual of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble gate the Baron Snow of Leicester would be in drifts up to 6 feet abstruse. The tribe had many word about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between hatful and the muckle had closed in at the top limiting the amount of snow that reached the footing before melting.

lateen 's Story


When the unwellness hit the Clan I was one of the last 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 weak to do very much we had our minds set on our recovery but the pyrexia kept popping back up and to a greater extent men and womanhood had died. The kin was near decimated, 5 men. 4 women and 6 children was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to keep the Clan going but every determination he made Grog questioned which caused unrest in the Tribe. After almost 4 years I finally had my strength back, Jonda, Tondar 's brother never recovered his wax strength and could not be allowed to go on a hunt alone. By now the younger ones that had been trained by the hunter now ranked as full huntsman. Food was getting short, It was decided after much arguing by Grog that each of us would scout for big game and Jonda would observe the camp.

I headed in a cosmopolitan direction of Southwest we had agreed we would reconnoitre for three twenty-four hour period and on the fourth we would come back and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old summer camp, the flaming burnt ground had given way to new growth. I searched the expanse and found old animal foot mark but nothing new. I decided I had gone far decent and would get a good nights sleep and commence back early. I had killed a rabbit with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a stick over the fire. While it cooked I thought about the problems with the folk. They did not work as a category unit. Grog seemed to want to withdraw over the leadership not realizing no one would accompany him. Tondar realized this but with so few huntsman he could not bid grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that noise I began to turn and suddenly every thing went black. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my centre. I was being carried ... my hired hand and ft were tied to a bamboo Pole ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my feet saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural consonant sounds and they stopped and lowered me to the ground. With a few swipes with a flint knife my feet were freed then my script. After the bamboo pole was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo pole that had 3 men and a char already had their hands and neck tied to that pole. I joined them. For twenty-four hour period and workweek we were marched through the timber.

We were given fruit and berry to eat and a H2O hide twice a day. At night we would spill 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 skittish about this area we will be entering, it seems they have lost a few men to the beast who walks with Tigers. What is that I ask. They said they did n't sleep together they could only understand about half of what the lomen say.
The woman was the one who knew the most of their oral communication. She said that many had been killed in this expanse and their captive whisked away. They would witness their ally drug way into the wood and their throats would be torn out. Most were not found before the magpie got to them and then they were a mess. But what of the wildcat I asked. And she said they do n't lie with no one has ever seen it ... just once a footprint was found and it was huge.

I thought about the wolf and all the prisoners that had disappeared. The biggest foundation I had ever seen was Mondo 's, but he had been suddenly for over 5 years. But Mondo ... that is how he got his name ; at birth his feet were self-aggrandizing than a two yr old. Mondo means Huge ... naugh it could n't be. But … what if ....

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running short of smoke meat, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the Cats need some exercising too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to help gurk. Malo says Toba and Leos they have already been helping him so they know what to do.
Mondo decided to take all three cat-o'-nine-tails runt needed to taste a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the side by side morn through the Bramble Gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a nautical mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his shoulder at Mondo and rumbled oceanic abyss in his pharynx. Sondi and shrimp slipped in amongst the group. I put my bridge player on them and could feel them trembling. This told me it was not game ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard voices and crashing through the bushes ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the airstream. I always traveled the tush of the laundry. The top of the laundry had bushes that blocked off the view of the genuine Wash. We waited and let them go on. I tell my friends I heard human representative as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would stop ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the Sami location, a clearing that I had rescued the first of my clan. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago climb up the golf hole near the downed tree. As soon as we attacked he would lead off cutting the people loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a noise and turns around and peewee billing and bites down on his privates ... I do n't sleep together whats with that cat. The sentry duty screech and Shad drives his spear into the guards pharynx. The other two lomen scream"The Beast"and instead of turning to fight they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno we would cause not been able to take in them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a chomp out of the upper right wing thigh which cause the lomen to crash to the basis with Malo rightfulness prat, he drove his spear all the way through the back and into his tenderness. Bruno took down the third one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the center of the backbone as the lomen hit the earth Bruno drove his tusks into the binding of the lomen 's neck opening. The neck opening snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As common we drug the organic structure out into the bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were free, I heard a gasp and a phonation saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see lateen sail, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The charwoman looked at me then at my feet and said,"You are the Beast"then she drew back
as the bozo entered and went to my side.
lateen told me his narration from the meter the tribe left thinking I was dead, all the way money box now. Then the other citizenry told me of their seizure 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 stimulate a choice. To either go back to their track down grounds or to join our kinship group.

The next morning the next group of captives arrived there were 6 of them and 4 guards. Mondo could sense the malaise of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to witness the commencement group waiting for them. I sent Bruno off to the right 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 of them with gig at the quick. They thrust forward with their fishgig, Drago 's gig striking only the gild the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to shine at Drago when Mondo and Bruno of Toul arrived. Never slowing down Bruno hit the loman in the bureau knocking him down and Mondo landed on the loman 's midsection as he sliced at the lomans throat with his knife. It was over as fast as it started, they walked back to the captives all free now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the radical 2 cleaning lady three teen, 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 didactics to stay on in the wash near the jam under the fallen tree and to hold Runt back till he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the last radical arrived, they too seemed concerned that the others were not waiting for them. Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either face of the trail where it left the clearing. Bruno was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the issue to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the hole where the male child were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smack blood, the early four guards were also anxious. As the guards hound came down on the edge of the golf hole … a bird whistled, a social lion roared and the guard disappeared down the hole. The son had each grabbed a leg and yanked the sentry go into the hole. Before he could regain half-pint had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the early four sentry duty. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their tree diagram driving their spears into the dresser of two of the guards. The live on two had no chance at all. They turned to run back and came face to face with Sondi and peewee as they stopped Saint Bruno hit them from the rear. Drago and Malo were cutting the captives liberal. This bunch consisted of 3 females 2males a child about 10 and a baby in the weapon system of one of the fair sex. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and Lateen from Mondo 's home plate kindred.

After they had all the people in to the cave Mondo and his hunters really needed to hunt and set out at once. Ludi took the fledgeling in hand and talked to them. By the clock time the hunters had returned with their kill it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the woman and the baby had decided to go back to their Village. The fair sex with the baby was just too weak to pull in the trip-up and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen, Bruno and Sondi would guide them back then they would proceed on to Tondors Tribe.

Mondo 's kindred furnished all the men with lance including the teenage boy this made them a force to be reckoned with. 9 gig men and 2 Big CT. I think they would relish meeting up with some lomen. The women were pulling the travois and each travois had at least 4 supernumerary lance on it. Three sidereal day into their trek they got their wish. Thanks to the CAT they were ready, the woman and children gathered in the center the men squatted around them with their fishgig angled out to protect the women.


The lomen charged out of the George Bush screaming and waving their golf club. Mondo and Lateen stood and began throwing their spears with the fair sex handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the quat attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the cast anchor spears and the Villagers stabbed with malevolency. 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 prisoner, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken clappers and one dead. It was obvious that the cleaning lady were proud of their men. One of the injured had a broken in shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its gild. One of the cleaning woman picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple times. The other women jumped in and it was a scrimmage after that.

Three weeks later we entered their village. Each travois was loaded with meat and fur, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village chief and the practice of medicine man. After they conquered their fear of the guy we were welcomed with open branch. The mass we had returned to their Greenwich Village equaled over a third of the hamlet population and were wife 's and girl and Father-God and boy. They were very of import to the hamlet. They threw us a spread that night and we departed early the future morning.

lateen sail assured Mondo that they only had two more solar day till they reached the Cave of Tondars clan. He also told him about the discontent Grog had caused. lateen said he was sure that Grog had beaten Mondo's mother but could not prove it.. Mondo informed him he needed no proof ... Grog had tried to kill him and that was enough he was going to call up him out..

Lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the rise. Mondo stepped out a picayune faster. A big Cat to either position and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden Giant. The people of the Clan raised their hands to shade their eyes trying to identify the picture before them. Lateen picked this meter to ill-treat into the view. He hollered,"Hello the ingroup"…. Tondar yelled it is Lateen. Sonda began to run to fit her Dad but seeing one of the Big cat-o'-nine-tails step forward caused her to stop. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the refugee camp as Mondo 's voice bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to Kill Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not hesitate he walked straight to Grog and one huge fist crashed into Grogs face. The puff knocked grog to the ground. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the carnage, Bruno and Sondi were walking a circle around the scrapper. Grog tried to catch a spear to use against Mondo. But an angered Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to trounce his antagonist to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to stop the beating and backed off looking at the fat chunk of jelly at his infantry. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my decree and the laws of the Clan ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an shun him from the Clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your female parent ?"
"My mother is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my mate, do you agree ?"since she had been declared a unloose clansman it was her choice. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a young woman and a kin group Orion put her blazon around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a Hunter 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a apparent movement with his fingers. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big true cat,"Sonda sports meeting Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting meat on to cook. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his feet and drug him outside the camp and dumped him there. As he walked into camp Lateen was telling everyone of Momd 's Clan and that there was no motive to move pack twice a year and there was a practice of medicine fair sex and a good life.

So began the trek to the Bramble Gate.

Tondar spoke with Socar who had been Grog 's Hunter trainee. He asked him how he felt about the proscription of Grog ... Socar says the only thing he hate about it is he did not get to do the licking himself. When they would go on a hunt, Grog would denigrate 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 time went by on the trail the hunters hunted at their leisure time. The nearer they came to their new place the more excite they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could remove the Brambles Gate there was an spring of children and Runt. They gathered the former minor and drug them inside to usher them everything. Mondo began doing the same with the adults. When they reached the other end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful valley. Our huts were beginning to acquire the figure of permanent structure. There was no need for temporary shelter anymore.

Tondar wanted to bonk everything about the Bos taurus, the meat smoke, and especially about the milk. They sat around a campfire and talked way into the night. One of the topics they discussed was leaders of the Clan. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's kinship group but Tondar had always been Mondo's chieftain. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his promontory,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is clock time for youth to conduct the clan. As long as I am active I will advise you as needed but You are now Chief."

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

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