Mondo 's kinship group


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

The men are gathering for a hunt club, we are traveling to a summertime camp and need to give birth heart for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too slack ... .. soon, very soon I will challenge him. He says my big feet make me inapt.

The men are fix to hound and the chief man Tondor calls us to make a motion out. Lateen has spotted a ruck of Bison not to far from our camp. We will trail them and set up an ambush. Tondor tells Grog and I to move ahead on the right while lateen sail and Gorbus does the like to the left.

I ease behind a rock candy with my gig in hand when something startles the ruck and they began running towards me. I hear a grunt and look over my shoulder and see Grog swinging his club at my head. My movement caused the setback to be a stunning blast instead of killing me it knocked me unconscious and I fell in to the stampede. Luckily there was a dead tree that had fallen and lay in their path and my lifeless body rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my head hurt and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my piss peel. I took a deglutition and poured some over my head. Slowly very slowly I began to descend to my smoke. 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 Saame but where Grog was fat mine was muscle. One day I will take him down, maybe today when I get back to camp.

I found my fizgig and using it as a faculty I made my way back to inner circle. Before I made it to the clique area I realized something was very wrong, no locoweed, as I rounded the Boulder that marked the entrance to the box canon where the ingroup had been for months. Before me was a barren area no huts no people ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the footing.

The clan probably thought I was perfectly, Grog would have told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not know how tenacious I was out, as weak as I felt it could ingest been twenty-four hour period. I knew where there were some berry vines near by and I went to them that at least gave me a bit of nourishment.

After I had eaten my fill of the berries I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's wake. I do n't sleep with what I was expecting but … where else was I to go, I had been following for hours when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a spear sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must have eluded the kinship group and died slowly. I took my flint knife and began the process of skinning it. Before I was one-half done I decided to build a ardor to proceed predators away. I gathered wood and pulled out my fire stones struck them together and directed the sparks to the tinder and in import I had my ardour I fed it with child pieces of wood till I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the meat and placed it on a Harlan Fisk Stone near the fire. Just by fortuity, a few twelvemonth ago a hunk of heart and soul was dropped into the ember of our firing. Some time later my founding father noticed the tantalizing odour from the cooking meat he raked it out, brushed it off and took a bite. We each tried a patch of the fake sum 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 flow near by so I decided to just stay right where I was. I made wheel and hung bit of meat to smoke and to dry. I staked out the Bison cutis and began to grate the hide and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my filling and although I heard piranha almost every night my fervour seemed to save them at bay. I found some low trees with consecutive trunk about an column inch to an inch and a half in diameter. I cut two about eight substructure long then I cut pocket-sized ones to create a paste of about three foot. These I tied to the farsighted poles to make a travois. I cut a lot of thin strips from the Bison peel for this and More to tie the skin and and the meat to the travois.

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

Tondor regretted the red ink of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the best Hunter in the Clan. They had looked for him but Grog had seen him precipitate in front of the stampede so there was not much sense in too long of a search.

They had traveled many years to their summertime Camp only to chance on that there had been a forest flack during the winter and the region was nothing but ashes. Tondor decided to turn North east in search of new land.

Mondo 's mother was certain that Grog was at geological fault for her boy demise but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would tucker her and result her arse. So she kept her persuasion to herself.
Lateen 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only eleven she had a crush on Mondo. Mondo was the improbable, strongest and most bountiful and Sonda knew that one day he would break up her ... She just had to grow a little bit ... well since her chest was insipid and she was as scrawny as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the poles to his shoulders and began his lookup for the Clan. It was at to the lowest degree a moon to the summertime camp. He had made a slingback from a couple of string cut from the bison skin and kept the sling in his handwriting as he walked. By the time he stopped for the day he had three hare 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 shaft and turned, he barley had time to set himself as a saber-tooth Panthera tigris launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his genu and steadied his shaft. The Tiger hit the spear and get the lance into its pectus the force out of the impingement carried the tiger over and past Mondo ripping the spear out of his custody. Mondo grabbed for his flint knife and leaped on to the tigers back and with the razor discriminating stony tongue attacked the throat of the Panthera tigris. The force play of the Tiger landing broke the spear in half. The sword of the spear pierced the heart of the wildcat as it slung Mondo off its spinal column. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's fundament … all in. Mondo had closed his eyes because he knew he was dead ... nothing happened …. he opened his centre to see the tiger at his feet, then he shook.

He had no sentence to fall apart. He gathered Ellen Price Wood and make a large flack. He began skinning the Tiger noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may have been nursing. Mondo staked out the tiger skin out to make scraping easier. Then he drug the carcass away from camp. Returning to the camp he found three kitten 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 rabbits and gravel them on sticks over the fervidness. He cut the badger into lowly pieces and fed it to the kits. They ate their fill then curled up side by side to Mondo and went to kip.

The side by side morning Mondo went back to the tigers carcass ... it was almost clean nothing but osseous tissue left. He looked around and found the mind and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six inches long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to camp down the kits were playing and nipping at the badger os. He staked out the tiger skin and went to work on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the poles and started off it had been three Day preparing the tiger skin, the kits played around his feet. They would take on a few steps and look back and mew. Then run to take hold of up then repetition, they were not sure what to do for Mondo kept on walk. This went on for over an hour then the kits started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a mournful cry and an answering growl .... a coyote looking for an well-heeled meal. Why ? Mondo does not know but he dropped the poles grabbed the half gig and attacked the coyote. Being a Noel 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 tired and scar outfit and picked up one turned it over … it was a male he said"You are Leo IX ”. The following had tabby stripes and was female for some reason it reminded him of Lateen 's girl,"You are Sondi."The in conclusion one was diminished but male Mondo laughed at the struggles and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the carrier wave and placed them on the skins. They settled down to sleep.

As the daylight passed the kits would get down from the attack aircraft carrier run and looseness till they tired then they would climb back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to notice a little chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a recently Snow storm coming. He started searching for a place to keep back up and waitress it out. With the aid of his sling he had plenty of meat to last so that was no worry but he did need to ascertain a unbowed pole to make into a spear. Another hour of walking and he noticed a stand of trees that had a few saplings the perfect length for his spear ... if he could find the in good order Harlan F. Stone maybe he could chip out three or four lance heads. He began to look for good Flint and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear capitulum he heard a scream, He took his half spear and moved off in the direction of the scream. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would piece up tilt to use with his sling if needed. He could distinguish 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 consistence were twisted as was their faces they were eaters of men. The lomen were broad in the dead body and strong and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg off-white of a man they had ripped apart. The early two were trying to deplume something from under the bramble shrub next to the rock 'n' roll. From the screams I could tell it was a female and that the thorns was all that was between her and these monsters. I loaded my sling and let fly hitting the eater in the synagogue ... he dropped the leg and fell forward. I reloaded just as one of the other turned toward me I let fly the rock music catching him in the prow chief. Before I could recharge the last one had turned and charged me.

Before he could reach me three tawny dynamos went streaking past one grabbed an ankle, one grabbed the most common soldier parts causing him to raise his head which gave Bruno the chance he needed and latched on to his throat. As the monster went down I planted my half spear in to his chest and pressed it into his heart. I called the outfit off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk River teeth had been replaced by the start of their tusks, 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 scream and I said do n't smart 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 hunter lost from my Clan."“ I am going to cut the Brambles back"I took my knife and cleared an possible action through the brambles. I was surprised to ascertain there was a cave behind the brambles. The chess opening was about four human foot across and tall but once in side the cave it was at least eight foundation tall. As I entered the first affair I saw was an eight year old performing with shrimp beside her was her mother and three early women and two male child about ten. The man who had been ripped apart was the only adult male person with them. They were looking at me with care, I glanced to either position and realized that Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the body and get my paraphernalia and then I will give. I drug the bodies a good way of life away so vulture would not come close to the cave. I checked them for weapons but all they had was nightclub, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made numerous trips back outside to bring in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to cover the entrance.
Then I looked at the people still standing in the Saami place that I had left them.."Please at least sit down, I am not here to hurt you if you wish to leave I will not stop 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 kitty crawled right on the fur and Lil the eight twelvemonth old who had been playing with Runt followed him onto the pelt. One by one they began to sit on the furs and the male child asked if it was alright to pet the kitty. Sondi answered by rubbing on their legs, Bruno of Toul was not far behind. I continued getting the fervidness started and started some rabbits to roasting. I am Mondo I will end telling my story. I noticed that some of the smoke drifted down the cap line of business of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of Natalie Wood and and used it as a torch. I walked farther in to the spelunk the two boys and Sondi and Leo IX followed. About fifty metrical foot inward we found a stream that ran along the rightfield wall. The CAT smelled the water and took a potable. I dipped my hand in, the water was frigidness and odoriferous. We walked on for about a hundred feet the cave made a turning to the left and opened up to a vast elbow room with a pool almost twenty to thirty base across. There was some kind of Moss on the cave rampart that gave off twinkle. I no longer call for the torch so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the room and could see an opening ahead of me. When I reached the possibility I was shocked to see a beautiful vale. A river flowed from out of the ground at the root word of the mountain. raving mad secret plan was abundant, Chuck Berry were discernible as well as herb and spice all were in mickle. Mondo turned to the male child,"Bring me the flannel mullein and I will relight it then I want you to go take every one here."I continued to gaze at the valley trying to judge its size the best guess was it was at least 10 miles long and 5 encompassing but would know advantageously when I had a luck to explore.

While the boys were gone I walked out into the Valley and looked around. I felt like I was home, the cave had shelter and fresh water and the valley had all the food we could eat. I was standing in front of the cave with my arms lifted up towards the sky as the others stepped out of the cave. Lil and her female parent Ludi were number 1 out of the cave they walked up to me and asked where are we. Ludi says When we left the other end it was snowing but..but.. here the sun is shining and it is warm. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the women, Pori, made the commentary we could live on here and no one would know.."Moli and maven the other two women spoke together"we need to go get our things."I knew then I had been accepted for, our matter they refer too was the items I had unloaded from my travois. But they were right wing we needed the affair moved to this end .We all went back together.

The first off nighttime we slept on the furs it was close dormancy, 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 part said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the tactual sensation and not knowing who was doing the friction. That night I had pleasant aspiration. And when I awoke the next first light the ladies were out gathering herbs Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicine char apprentice, And Lil 's mother.
The early ladies, Pori seventeen, Moli 19 and Star twenty five were not related to the boy, Drago and Malo were twins but not very, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The whole mathematical group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hour when the leader of the lomen called a halt. He pointed to three of his group and oral presentation in a nomenclature they did not empathize. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to look out them. Their guards pushed them down near a prominent downed tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a yap under the tree which led to the dry watercourse bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the hole. She told her female parent and Ludi whispered to the others. Then they waited. Later into the Nox the lomen began to drowse when she felt it safe she lowered Lil into the trap and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the shoemaker's last and he slipped and fell making enough noise to awaken 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 mavin .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took charge and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to fix sure no one was injured. And they all stood there in fear not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his spears he stripped the bark from the saplings. And stood the hafts near the flame to set out the drying out and hardening of the shafts. He took the gemstone and began working on the blades for the spearhead. Drago and Malo sat skinny watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kitty following the women and playing. The char seemed to take the mien of the Saber-tooth cats as born. After making four spear vane and rotating the rotating shaft Mondo decided it was clip to front over the Valley. He gather a few stone and his sling and motioned to the boy, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a small-scale ruck of bison, many rabbits, a miscellanea of birds and goats and sheep and many other animals. They all seemed to be food for thought animals other than small carnivores there did not look to be any large piranha. There was no evidence of LTTE, bears or woman chaser. The most unsafe animal he saw was bovine. One breed had hooter about six feet in length. The cervid population was abundant and they counted the period on a large hart as three deal plus two digit. I thought about what I had done … into this passive vale I had introduced three top of the line piranha. They may be untested now but … one day. I guess I would have to school them. And let them hunt in the forest from the bramble scrub entree. I decided my appraisal of the size of the vale was skinny very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the distance Mondo could see a non-white area 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 male child returned the camp seemed to be empty ... Mondo was worried, with gig at the ready he entered coterie. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the son entered the cave and was met with the sight of Star completely nude and the others all waist deep in the pocket billiards ... also nude. They saw him and the boys and waved to them, amount in come in there is a hot springs in the pool. Mondo looked around at the boys but was too previous they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the water. Mondo shed his own skins to the oohs and aahs of the adult fair sex. Mondo did n't have to do anything just walk into the pool. The women met him and began to lave him even Lil tried to help but the women said no.

The slings kept us in food and hide for clothes. There was a works that had brand that looked like swords, the thorn on the end of the sword could be broken off and a thin screw thread like piece about two feet long could be pulled out of the sword, this made for a perfect needle and ribbon. The spine would reform after about two weeks so the needle and train of thought was constantly replaced as long as the sword was not cut. I taught all how to use the slings and they all seemed to be naturals. It was a pleasant life though I wished for more men to go after fully grown biz and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's female parent, Sharlu, did not cognize how much more she could deal. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to see for things to get wild about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to ignore it but he to had been casting his eye at the beauteousness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to exact a new married woman, but by the practice of law 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 clock 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 children, five men including Tobar and eight woman. The kindred was really hurting there was only eleven men, five char and ten kid. Of the ten children only three were over dozen and only one was male. Some of the men were still very infirm only three hunters were useable to feed the Clan. No Tondar thinks, today is not a dependable day to take exception. 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 kinship group. He would catch Tondar and he would plan.

Today Star asked to go on the William Holman Hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three miles from the Camp when star topology dropped to her stifle and put her head to the footing and pulled her vesture to the side baring her delicious butt. As she wiggled her butt she tells Mondo she wants a sister. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to enter her. After the one-quarter lose whiz reached between her legs, took him in helping hand and guided him into her velvet boxing glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went wild bouncing whiz all over the land. Then he felt a strange aesthesis and he grabbed her hips and shoved himself all the way into Star, His release was like an explosion and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at Stars feet, the rest of the morning was spent the same way. They finished their hunt and Star told him the early fair sex were waiting their turn. They had decided that their tribe needed more people. Mondo walked around the residue of the day with a big smiling on his facial expression just thinking … he would get to do this to the other charwoman too.

As they arrived back at camp everyone knew that Star had been successful and every clip the former cleaning lady would walk past Mondo they would twinge their hindquarters at him. Even Lil as offspring as she was got in on the after part twitching. Two months later all the women were pregnant and Lil was asking her Mother why she could n't be significant too.

Mondo was training the Cats and as they became great he began taking them out into the timberland past the Bramble gate. The Cats had made a undecomposed kill and I was dragging my travois with the heart and pelt down the gully when Leo IX came to a diaphragm and I could here a rumble in Sondi 's throat. half-pint was crouched in his plan of attack modality. I made a downward button with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to crouch down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a production line of prisoner .My Cats hated lomen. I counted the prisoners, two men, six women and five children under twelve, two male child and three daughter. We followed knowing they would stop for a rest soon. When they stopped we waited cashbox two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my catapult and bounced a rock'n'roll off the guard duty temple killing him instantly. The sentry duty falling awakened the former two lomen they began to rebel but stopped when they felt the mitt on their dresser. Bruno and Sondi made one slash and opened the throat of the two. runt not to be out done ripped out the pharynx 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 captive and told them not to worry about the Cats, they are naturalize. I told them to watch us to Paradise. I picked up my Travois and led them to the bramble gate. When we stepped out at the former end they were speechless. They blended in with the rest of our flying growing Clan. Even though two of the charwoman were wife 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the first sentence. Because I was strong and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant outset born of their new Clan because one of the tike, a little girl named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was less than a twelvemonth old.


As month passed and the cleaning woman all became pregnant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were capable of feeding the clan for awhile. I decided to give another search for my Mother and Tondor 's kin group. I carried my Travois and 3 lance and Bruno and Sondi. peewee I left with Ludi to assist protect the clan. I took no food except for one meal and two H2O peel. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with new brambles and scouted the area to wee-wee sure enough 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 obliterate any large plot on the way out. No sentience of packing hide both way. I sent Sondi to reconnoitre ahead and Bruno to make chimneysweeper around us. By dark fall we had had no problems and I had killed enough pocket-size secret plan to give myself and the computed axial tomography. I built up a fire and snuggled between the bozo and drifted off to sleep.

The next break of day we continued our trek ... the Cats seemed to be uneasy and I noticed the tranquillity around us ... There is something wrong ... now I need to come up out what.
I tried to get the computerized tomography to scout but all they would do was rumble deep in their chest. I got my spear ready and watched my Cats, I knew they would admonish me of impending danger.

The dander on Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six feet from me also facing toward the direction that Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my spears and backed between two Boulder that were about eighteen inches apart. I still have no approximation what I am about to face. Then Bruno boom and is answered by a bellow that chills even the considerably hunter .... a cave Bear it roared out of the bushes on all quaternion. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hind legs it was at least fifteen foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, Bruno attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all quatern and charged toward me. I set myself with my fizgig, just before the bear reached me a tawny projectile struck the bear behind it 's left front leg. Sondi held on. Then Bruno struck from the rear. The bear reared up again, as its mind was raising up I struck with my spear straight for the throat. The first fishgig did not fathom very far but it seemed to con commingle the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the boulder instead of me. The CT were ravishing the bears hind living quarters then leaping aside when the bear tried to set on them. I unknowingly had reached in to my belted ammunition and pulled out the Sabre tooth tusk. Sondi takes another chunk out of the bears front leg, the bear turns its head to the side, I see my prospect and I pounce. With all my might I jam the saber tooth in to the ear canal of the bear which penetrates the mastermind. Not realizing it is dead the bear swing back at me ... I back off, the bear hollering and falls dead at my feet.
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 nitty-gritty. I really hated to leave all that centre but predators and scavenger would be all over us. We traveled on till we came to a current and there we camped till I finished with the Bearskin. This took almost a workweek after that I would work with it after my days travel.



9 child

The women at the cave began to give nativity Star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All boys except Star her daughter was called Little mavin. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the Medicine char she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the time Mondo came home all the babies will be born even little Yo'te the lastly to get pregnant. The men and boys kept the camp supplied with substance. Every day one of the male child and runt would go to the bramble gate and watch. The two men pulled their own free weight Shad was a spear maker and Grug was a thrower he made pots and bowlful for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to miss Mondo his military strength and leadership was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 hunters left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the tike. Tondar is training lateen's daughter Sonda who is already good with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. girlfriend Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very difficult to prey everyone. With as many that are still sapless and sick they were unable to move to overwinter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a near dormant Volcano. Heat still permeated the cave sphere from hot gasoline so they only needed firing if they wished to make. Each hunter pair went out alone only time the whole chemical group would go out on a Holman Hunt was if large game was spotted. At that time the women who were strong enough would draw Travois to help skinning and hauling of the gist if a killing was made. Sadly this was rare..

Fifteen daylight later Mondo arrived at the clan summertime bivouac he was disheartened to see the barren burned out expanse. He searched around but could not tell if the kinship group had been here when the attack occurred or if the fire was older. He stayed there another 10 days making scouting roach in all directions. All he could really tell was the quat were uneasy in this burned out region. Two days ago the cats had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big chunk of the meat and worked on the fell. He decided that in the dayspring he would head back. He had to admit he missed his new clan.

The future first light after a immediate look around he began his trek homeward. Saint Bruno began his sentinel and Sondi took point Mondo could tell apart they were glad to be leaving this place. Days turned into weeks it had been an easy trip except for twice the Cats had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the computed axial tomography in the bushes and told them to be silent and they watched the lomen searching for new captives. Their look was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to rest less than twenty paces away. The hombre did n't like it either but I was capable to keep them quiet. Then they decided to take a nap, That was more than than I or the Cats could take. I turned them loose, in seconds there was two to a lesser extent lomen in these Natalie Wood. It was a affair of beauty to determine them work now that they had nearly reached their full growth. Bruno was about five foot at the front shoulder and about four metrical foot at the hind quarters. Sondi was just inches smaller not that it mattered and peewee at the cave was a wide foot smaller but I think Runt was faster than his brother and sister.

I could see the dry wash ahead once I entered it I would be close to a mile from Bramble Gate. Now silence was really needed the path above the dry slipstream was made by the lomen as they carry their captives to their home country ... Where ever that is. But today it was clear. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to prompt and out came Drago and half-pint. I motioned them back inside and the quat and I followed. All I could think about for the past times hour was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping things, by the time I was at the spring I was nude and walked out into the pool and sank down and closed my eyes. After a few sigh I opened my middle and was met by ten cleaning woman all carrying a baby. My back talk dropped open up and I asked"Where did all the baby come from ?"The only answer I got was smiles. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the formal trees on the former English. It has been 4 years since we had found our valley. We had learned how to fume our kernel, there was an indention in the wall of the undermine passage near room sized. It was near the fume hole, we had left some heart and soul on drying single-foot in this room and the bullet from our cook fervidness passed over it. When we tried this meat we were surprised by the predilection. We tried raw meat on the racks and the results were great. We were able to have few boastfully kills and no pith was wasted. Yes this was truly a wonderful valley.
I walked into the River at this point the H2O just reached my knees. Along the far bank the char 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 animals. Shad and Gruk and the boys and I did near of our major William Holman Hunt out the bramble logic gate. That way we had the help of the computerized tomography, they were still not used in the valley. The only time we hunted inside the valley was when it was wintertime at the bramble logic gate. Soon not even then.


Malo and Drago had herded 5 of the bovine creatures into a box canyon and had taken clash and blocked off their outflow. Later we had cut poles and using a mark method at the street corner and goal of the poles we had built a fence with a gate. There were three females and 2 males there was plenitude of food for them and a branch off the river made water available. It was n't till breeding metre that we found there was a trouble with the mix.

The two males fought for the right to breed. We watched the fight the declamatory bull had hooter 18"long on either side of meat of his head. The minor only had one horn the other had been broken off some time earlier, he was clearly at a disadvantage. It did n't take retentive before the smaller bull was too injured to continue the competitiveness. With ropes we had made by weaving strip of skins we managed to get the rope around the bull 's neck we managed to get him out of the gate. We sent the boy to get the char and the Travois and killed the bull and began butchering.

Over the years our ruck has grown by raw birth and capturing former female person and adding them to our herd. Our Clan was also growing the Lapplander way. Most of the female person seemed to receive our presence. Which meant we only had to Isolate the bull to be able to exploit with the moo-cow. Gurk had noticed that after a sura suckled a few drop cloth of milk was on one of her teats. He reached down gently so as not to startle the cow and stroked the mamilla. To his surprisal 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 sass and sipped, his centre flew open and he took an even bigger pledge then handed the pot to Malo who also took a beverage. The milk was very rich and creamy and tasted delicious.

dorsum at the cantonment Ludi was working on her own experiment. She had begun to take seed fuel pod from industrial plant they had eaten and herbs for music and had put them in the priming and watered them and they began to farm. Mondo had watched the process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the children collect the seminal fluid cod from the Gunter Wilhelm Grass. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat grass. Mondo explained he was afraid that the cows would eat all of the sess in the canyon. This way they could scatter the ejaculate all over the canyon and maybe it would grow and facilitate feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"boozing, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a spirit of surprise handed the pot to Ludi. After one tasting Ludi was all questions ... What is it, where did you get it, can you get more ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to need the Milk River removed as if it was too full. Malo suggested we try to move over some to Lorn 's baby since Lorn had dried up and had no Milk for her infant. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her sister.

When Lorn arrived with her baby, Ludi stuck her finger in the Milk and dribbled some over the sister 's mouthpiece. The baby began reaching and its sass began suckling move. Lorn immediately stuck her digit 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 substance of the valley would be rich with the snow maybe a foot trench. The rest of the vale would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble logic gate the snow would be in purport up to 6 feet inscrutable. The Clan had many discussions about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between Mountains and the mountains had closed in at the top limiting the amount of money of C. P. Snow that reached the ground before melting.

lateen sail 's narrative


When the illness hit the clan I was one of the hold up to overhear it I watched as some recovered and some died. When it seemed to have passed there were only 3 men left to trace and 8 still to weak to do very much we had our minds set on our recovery but the feverishness kept popping back up and more men and charwoman had died. The Clan was near decimated, 5 men. 4 womanhood and 6 nestling was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to keep the Clan going but every decision 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 broad forte and could not be allowed to go on a hunt alone. By now the unseasoned ones that had been trained by the hunter now ranked as fully Hunters. solid food was getting short, It was decided after much contention by Grog that each of us would scout for big game and Jonda would observe the camp.

I headed in a full general instruction of Southwest we had agreed we would scout for three daylight and on the 4th we would return and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old summertime camp, the fire burnt ground had given way to new increment. I searched the area and found old metrical foot mark but nothing new. I decided I had gone far plenty and would get a good night nap and start back early. I had killed a rabbit with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a spliff over the flaming. While it cooked I thought about the problems with the folk. They did not work as a family unit. Grog seemed to desire to take over the leadership not realizing no one would follow him. Tondar realized this but with so few huntsman he could not anticipate grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that noise I began to turn and suddenly every thing went melanise. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my heart. I was being carried ... my manpower and feet were tied to a bamboo pole ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my foundation saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural strait and they stopped and lowered me to the priming coat. With a few swipes with a flint tongue my feet were freed then my hands. After the bamboo pole was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo pole that had 3 men and a cleaning woman already had their hands and cervix tied to that pole. I joined them. For Clarence Shepard Day Jr. and weeks we were marched through the woodland.

We were given fruit and Chuck Berry to eat and a water cutis twice a day. At nighttime we would peach quietly. I learned that the lomen had raided their Village and there were others than the three watching us. Tomorrow they will await for the other mathematical group to catch up. They are queasy about this area we will be entering, it seems they have lost a few men to the wildcat who walks with Tigers. What is that I ask. They said they did n't know they could only infer about half of what the lomen say.
The fair sex was the one who knew the most of their language. She said that many had been killed in this country and their prisoners whisked away. They would find their friends drug way into the forest and their throats would be torn out. Most were not found before the scavengers got to them and then they were a mess. But what of the fauna I asked. And she said they do n't be intimate no one has ever seen it ... just once a footprint was found and it was huge.

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

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running shortstop of smoke-cured meat, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the Cats need some practice too.
Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to serve gurk. Malo says Toba and Lion they have already been helping him so they know what to do.
Mondo decided to take all three Arabian tea runt needed to sample a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the succeeding sunup through the Bramble Gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his shoulder at Mondo and rumbled deep in his throat. Sondi and half-pint slipped in amongst the chemical group. I put my hired man on them and could find them trembling. This told me it was not game ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard vocalism and crashing through the bushes ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the lavation. I always traveled the bottom of the washout. The top of the backwash had scrub that blocked off the eyeshot of the actual Wash. We waited and let them go past. I tell my friends I heard human voices as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would terminate ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the Sami position, a clearing that I had rescued the first of my clan. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago acclivity up the hole near the downed Tree. As soon as we attacked he would start cutting the the great unwashed loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a interference and turns around and runt charges and bites down on his privates ... I do n't get laid whats with that cat. The safety device scream and Shad drives his spear into the guards throat. The early two lomen scream"The beast"and instead of turning to contend they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno we would have not been able-bodied 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 soil with Malo rightfield behind, he drove his shaft all the way through the back and into his heart. Bruno took down the thirdly one by himself. He leaped eminent catching the lomen in the nerve centre of the back as the lomen hit the ground Bruno drove his tusks into the rachis of the lomen 's neck. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As common we drug the bodies out into the bush away from the lead. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were relinquish, I heard a pant and a voice saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see lateen, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The adult female looked at me then at my fundament and said,"You are the Beast"then she drew back
as the Cats entered and went to my side.
lateen sail told me his story from the time the kinship group left thinking I was dead, all the way till now. Then the other people told me of their seizure and that there twelve more captives on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble logic gate and inside. I told them we would rescue the rest period of their folk then they would have a choice. To either go back to their hunt down grounds or to join our clan.

The succeeding morning the following chemical group of prisoner arrived there were 6 of them and 4 sentry duty. Mondo could sense the uneasiness of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to find the initiative mathematical group waiting for them. I sent St. 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 straw man of them with spear at the ready. They thrust forward with their spears, Drago 's shaft striking only the order the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to coin at Drago when Mondo and Saint Bruno arrived. Never slowing down Bruno of Toul hit the loman in the chest knock him down and Mondo landed on the loman 's midsection as he sliced at the lomans throat with his tongue. It was over as fast as it started, they walked back to the captive all free now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the radical 2 fair sex three stripling, a boy and 2 girls, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and Runt with the freed captives to the bramble logic gate. He gave them instructions to rest in the wash drawing near the kettle of fish under the fallen Tree and to hold peewee back boulder clay he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the last group arrived, they too seemed relate that the others were not waiting for them. Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either side of the trail where it left the glade. Bruno was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the passing to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the cakehole where the son were waiting, he was looking all around the glade he was uncomfortable. He could sense blood, the former four sentry duty were also uneasy. As the sentry duty heel came down on the edge of the yap … a bird whistled, a Leo the Lion roared and the guard disappeared down the trap. The male child had each grabbed a leg and yanked the sentry go into the hole. Before he could recuperate shrimp had removed his pharynx then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four Guards. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their trees driving their lance into the dresser of two of the sentry go. The endure two had no opportunity at all. They turned to run back and came expression to face with Sondi and peewee as they stopped Bruno hit them from the rear. Drago and Malo were cutting the captives loose. This bunch consisted of 3 female person 2males a child about 10 and a baby in the blazon of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one settlement and lateen from Mondo 's home base clan.

After they had all the hoi polloi in to the cave Mondo and his hunters really needed to hunt and set out at once. Ludi took the newcomers in mitt and talked to them. By the metre the hunters had returned with their kills it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the char and the baby had decided to go back to their hamlet. The fair sex with the babe was just too weak to do the trip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, Lateen, St. Bruno and Sondi would guide them back then they would continue on to Tondors Tribe.

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


The lomen charged out of the crotch hair 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 computed axial tomography attacked from behind. The computerized axial tomography forced the lomen onto the anchored spears and the Villagers stabbed with malevolence. They were angry and wanted revenge. By the clip it was all over there were 11 dead lomen and four wounded. No one planned to remove captive, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with wiped out pearl and one dead. It was obvious that the women were proud of their men. One of the injured had a split up shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its club. One of the women picked up a shaft and stabbed the loman multiple times. The former women jumped in and it was a melee after that.

tierce weeks later we entered their Greenwich Village. Each travois was loaded with meat and furs, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village chief and the medicine man. After they conquered their fear of the Cats we were welcomed with surface subdivision. The mass we had returned to their village equaled over a tierce of the Village population and were wife 's and daughters and fathers and Son. They were very important to the Greenwich Village. They threw us a banquet 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 indisputable that Grog had beaten Mondo's female parent but could not prove it.. Mondo informed him he needed no substantiation ... Grog had tried to drink down him and that was enough he was going to call off him out..

Lateen informed Mondo the cave was just over the salary increase. Mondo stepped out a picayune faster. A big Cat to either side and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden Giant. The citizenry of the Clan raised their custody to shadow their eyes trying to key out the effigy before them. Lateen picked this time to mistreat into the view. He hollered,"Hello the refugee camp"…. Tondar yelled it is lateen. Sonda began to run to meet her Dad but seeing one of the Big guy step forward caused her to break off. Grog walked out of the cave … silence fell over the 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 immense clenched fist crashed into Grogs face. The blow knocked grog to the ground. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the carnage, Leo IX and Sondi were walking a circuit around the combatants. Grog tried to grab a fishgig to use against Mondo. But an angered Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to amaze his opponent to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to lay off the beating and backed off looking at the fat glob of jelly at his feet. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my decree and the law of nature of the clan ... I claim all Grogs willpower an blackball him from the Clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your Mother ?"
"My Mother is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my mate, do you fit in ?"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 young woman and a clan hunter put her implements of war around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a Hunter 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a trend with his digit. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big Cats,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

lateen sail 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 kin group and that there was no want to affect coterie twice a year and there was a medicine woman and a soundly life.

So began the trek to the Bramble Gate.

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

As time went by on the track the Orion hunted at their leisure time. The nearer they came to their new household the more shake up they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could remove the Brambles logic gate there was an outpouring of kid and Runt. They gathered the other tyke and drug them inside to show them everything. Mondo began doing the same with the adults. When they reached the former end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful valley. Our hut were beginning to occupy the shape of lasting social structure. There was no need for temp protection anymore.

Tondar wanted to get it on everything about the cattle, the nub smoking, and especially about the Milk River. They sat around a campfire and talked way into the Nox. One of the topics they discussed was leading of the Clan. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's kinship group but Tondar had always been Mondo's honcho. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his headway,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is time for youth to extend the kin. As long as I am alive I will advise you as needed but You are now Chief."

Today we celebrate the joning of two kin into one folk the"Clan of the Cats !"

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