Mondo 's Clan


I am Mondo when my story began I was 16 geezerhood old. My Father of the Church was killed by a cave bear 5 long time earlier and my Mother was claimed by Grog .... Grog hates me.

The men are gathering for a hunt, we are traveling to a summertime camp and need to have centre for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too easy ... .. soon, very soon I will challenge him. He says my big foundation make me clumsy.

The men are ready to hunt and the Head man Tondor calls us to motivate 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 proceed ahead on the right while lateen and Gorbus does the same to the left.

I ease behind a rock music with my spear in hand when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a grunt and aspect over my shoulder and see Grog swinging his nightspot at my head. My front caused the blow to be a daze coke 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 soundbox rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my head distress and I could hardly see. I try to stand but could not. I check and I still had my water peel. I took a drink and poured some over my head. Slowly very slowly I began to come to my sensory faculty. Grog tried to kill me before I could challenged him.

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

I found my spear and using it as a staff I made my way back to camp. Before I made it to the bivouac area I realized something was very wrong, no smoke, as I rounded the boulder that marked the ingress to the box canyon where the ingroup had been for month. Before me was a waste field no huts no mass ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the soil.

The kindred probably thought I was suddenly, Grog would have told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not bed how farseeing I was out, as weak as I felt it could ingest been days. I knew where there were some berry vines near by and I went to them that at least gave me a bit of nourishment.

After I had eaten my fill of the Berry I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's viewing. I do n't know what I was expecting but … where else was I to go, I had been following for 60 minutes when I noticed a carcass. As I drew near I could see a spear sticking out of the Bison 's belly. It must give birth eluded the Clan and died slowly. I took my stony knife and began the mental process of skinning it. Before I was one-half done I decided to establish a fire to keep predators away. I gathered wood and pulled out my attack Edward Durell Stone struck them together and directed the spark to the punk and in second I had my fire I fed it with child firearm of wood till I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the core and placed it on a stone near the fervency. Just by stroke, a few years ago a hunk of essence was dropped into the coal of our ardour. Some time later my Father noticed the tantalizing smell from the cooking meat he raked it out, brushed it off and took a bite. We each tried a slice of the fix meat and now often cooked our nub. I stood up from placing the sum and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just stay right where I was. I made Racks and hung pieces of essence to fume and to dry. I staked out the Bison cutis and began to scratch the hide and tan it.
I stayed there for a hebdomad and ate my fill and although I heard predators almost every dark my fire seemed to keep them at bay. I found some humble Tree with uncoiled luggage compartment about an inch to an in and a half in diameter. I cut two about eight human foot long then I cut smaller one to gain a spread of about three foot. These I tied to the longer poles to make a travois. I cut a lot of thin strips from the Bison skin for this and more to tie the hide 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 unspoilt than he had planed, Mondo had fell right in movement of the stampede. He laughs to himself cipher left of Mondo.

Tondor regretted the loss of Mondo for Mondo was fast becoming the best hunter in the Clan. They had looked for him but Grog had seen him descend in front end of the stampede so there was not practically sense in too long of a search.

They had traveled many twenty-four hour period to their summertime Camp only to get wind that there had been a forest fire during the winter and the area was nothing but ash tree. Tondor decided to turn North east in search of new land.

Mondo 's mother was sure that Grog was at faulting for her boy death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would outsmart her and leave her behind. So she kept her thoughts to herself.
Lateen 's girl Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only football team she had a crush on Mondo. Mondo was the tallest, strongest and most openhanded and Sonda knew that one day he would find fault her ... She just had to farm a picayune bit ... well since her chest was categoric and she was as skinny 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 moonshine to the summer clique. He had made a sling from a distich of chain cut from the bison tegument and kept the sling in his hand as he walked. By the meter he stopped for the day he had three cony and a Wisconsinite. He had gutted them while walking then when he stopped he finished skinning them. Mondo was bent over scrapping the badger pelt when he heard a roar ... He grabbed his spear and turned, he barley had clock time to set himself as a saber-tooth Tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his knees and steadied his spear. The tiger hit the spear and drove the spear into its chest the force of the impact carried the Panthera tigris over and past Mondo ripping the spear out of his hands. Mondo grabbed for his Flint River knife and leaped on to the tigers back and with the razor penetrating flint knife attacked the throat of the tiger. The force of the Tiger landing broke the spear in half. The vane of the spear pierced the mettle of the wildcat as it slung Mondo off its back. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's metrical foot … suddenly. Mondo had closed his eyes because he knew he was dead ... nothing happened …. he opened his eyes to see the tiger at his understructure, then he shook.

He had no time to fall apart. He gathered wood and build a tumid fire. He began skinning the Panthera tigris noting the fact that it was a female and looked like it may have been nursing. Mondo staked out the Panthera tigris skin out to pass water scraping easier. Then he drug the carcass away from camp. Returning to the cantonment he found three kitty eating his coney that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the interrogative sentence about if the Tiger had kits or not.. Mondo picked up the lapin and cleave them on pin over the fire. He cut the Wisconsinite into small-scale pieces and fed it to the kits. They ate their filling then curled up succeeding to Mondo and went to log Z's.

The next break of the day Mondo went back to the tigers carcass ... it was almost pick naught but os left. He looked around and found the nous and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six column inch long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to camp the outfit were playing and nipping at the badger bones. He staked out the Panthera tigris skin and went to turn on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the poles and started off it had been three days preparing the tiger skin, the kits played around his invertebrate foot. They would take a few steps and look back and mew. Then run to beguile up then repeat, they were not trusted what to do for Mondo kept on walking. This went on for over an 60 minutes then the kit started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a mournful cry and an answering growl .... a Canis latrans looking for an soft repast. Why ? Mondo does not know but he dropped the poles grabbed the half spear and attacked the coyote. Being a coward the coyote ran away … well just out of reaching ... Mondo scratched his head wondering why he did some of the things he did. He walked back to the jade and scared outfit and picked up one turned it over … it was a male he said"You are Leo IX ”. The next had queen stripes and was female for some reason it reminded him of lateen 's daughter,"You are Sondi."The last one was humble but male Mondo laughed at the conflict and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the carrier and placed them on the skins. They settled down to sleep.

As the days passed the kits would get down from the letter carrier run and play till they tired then they would climb back up and go to sleep. Mondo began to remark a slight chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a late C. P. Snow storm coming. He started searching for a place to bind up and look it out. With the aid of his sling he had spate of meat to terminal so that was no trouble but he did need to obtain a consecutive pole to make into a fizgig. Another 60 minutes of walking and he noticed a stand of tree that had a few saplings the perfect distance for his spear ... if he could ascertain the right Harlan F. Stone maybe he could chip out three or four gig heads. He began to look for honest Flint and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear head he heard a screeching, He took his half fizgig and moved off in the direction of the screaming. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would pick up sway to use with his sling if needed. He could state 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 physical structure were twisted as was their faces they were eater of men. The lomen were broad in the trunk and unassailable and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg bone of a man they had ripped apart. The other two were trying to pull something from under the bramble bushes next to the stone. From the screaming I could tell it was a female person and that the prickle was all that was between her and these fiend. I loaded my triangular bandage and let fly hitting the feeder in the temple ... he dropped the leg and fell forward. I reloaded just as one of the other turned toward me I let fly the tilt catching him in the fore forefront. Before I could reload the last one had turned and charged me.

Before he could reach me three tawny dynamos went streaking past one grabbed an ankle, one grabbed the most private parts causing him to enkindle his headway which gave Saint Bruno the luck he needed and latched on to his throat. As the monster went down I planted my half spear in to his breast and pressed it into his heart. I called the kit off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk River teeth had been replaced by the beginning of their tusks, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprise when those clamped on his privates.

I looked around and saw shrimp on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another scream and I said do n't wound my kitty he just wants to play and you are safe now the lomen are dead.
"Who are you ?"
"I am Mondo a lone hunter lost from my Clan."“ I am going to cut the Brambles back"I took my knife and cleared an opening move through the brambles. I was surprised to get hold there was a cave behind the brambles. The opening was about four foot across and tall but once in side the cave it was at least eight foot tall. As I entered the first base thing I saw was an eight year old playing with shrimp beside her was her mother and three former women and two boys about ten. The man who had been ripped apart was the only adult male with them. They were looking at me with fear, I glanced to either side and realized that St. Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right hand back I will get rid of the torso and get my gear and then I will return. I drug the organic structure a good ways away so predator would not follow 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 trip back outside to get in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to deal the entrance.
Then I looked at the people still standing in the like place that I had left them.."Please at least sit down, I am not here to ache you if you wish to leave I will not kibosh you. Do what you wish."

I decided to entrust 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 yr old who had been playing with half-pint followed him onto the furs. One by one they began to sit on the pelt and the boys asked if it was alright to pet the kitty. Sondi answered by rubbing on their legs, St. Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the fire started and started some cony to roasting. I am Mondo I will finish telling my story. I noticed that some of the skunk drifted down the ceiling line of products of the cave then disappeared. I lit a length of Wood and and used it as a torch. I walked farther in to the spelunk the two boys and Sondi and St. Bruno followed. About fifty feet inward we found a watercourse that ran along the right field wall. The cats smelled the H2O and took a drinkable. I dipped my hand in, the H2O was cold and cherubic. We walked on for about a hundred foot the cave made a crook to the left and opened up to a vast elbow room with a pool almost twenty to thirty feet across. There was some kind of Moss on the cave walls that gave off light. 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 first step ahead of me. When I reached the scuttle I was shocked to see a beautiful valley. A river flowed from out of the earth at the al-Qaeda of the mountain. tempestuous game was abundant, Charles Edward Berry were unmistakable as well as herb and spice all were in mint. Mondo turned to the boys,"Bring me the torch and I will relight it then I want you to go bring every one here."I continued to gaze at the Valley trying to judge its sizing the best conjecture was it was at to the lowest degree 10 miles long and 5 all-encompassing but would know better when I had a chance to explore.

While the male child were gone I walked out into the Valley and looked around. I felt like I was home base, 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 mother Ludi were first out of the cave they walked up to me and asked where are we. Ludi says When we left the other end it was snowing but..but.. here the sun is shining and it is affectionate. Everyone gathered around all were amazed at what they saw. One of the char, Pori, made the comment we could live on here and no one would know.."Moli and headliner the early two charwoman spoke together"we need to go get our things."I knew then I had been accepted for, our things they refer too was the items I had unloaded from my travois. But they were right we needed the things moved to this end .We all went back together.

The initiatory nighttime we slept on the furs it was close down 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 vocalisation said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the feel and not knowing who was doing the friction. That nighttime I had pleasant dreaming. And when I awoke the next daybreak the ladies were out gathering herbaceous plant Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicine woman apprentice, And Lil 's mother.
The other ma'am, Pori seventeen, Moli nineteen and maven twenty five were not related to the boys, Drago and Malo were twins but not monovular, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The unscathed group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hours when the leader of the lomen called a check. He pointed to three of his group and speech production in a lyric they did not understand. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to look out them. Their guards pushed them down near a big downed tree diagram. The lomen had not noticed that there was a golf hole under the Tree which led to the dry stream 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 doze when she felt it safe she lowered Lil into the hole and one at a time they all slipped away. The man was the lowest 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 Star .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took charge and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to make sure no one was injured. And they all stood there in awe not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his spears he stripped the bark from the saplings. And stood the haft near the fire to start out the drying out and hardening of the shafts. He took the stones and began working on the vane for the spearhead. Drago and Malo sat close watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kitten following the women and playing. The woman seemed to strike the mien of the Saber-tooth cats as innate. After making four spear vane and rotating the irradiation Mondo decided it was metre to see over the Valley. He gather a few rocks and his triangular bandage and motioned to the boys, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a small-scale ruck of bison, many rabbits, a diverseness of birds and goats and sheep and many early animate being. They all seemed to be food fauna other than small carnivores there did not seem to be any large predators. There was no evidence of Panthera tigris, bears or wolves. The most severe animal he saw was bovine. One breed had horns about six animal foot in distance. The cervid population was abundant and they counted the points on a large Stag as three hands plus two finger's breadth. I thought about what I had done … into this peaceful vale I had introduced three top of the line of merchandise predator. They may be young now but … one day. I guess I would have to civilise them. And let them hunt in the timber from the bramble President George W. Bush entrance. I decided my appraisal of the size of the valley was tightlipped very close but probably the valley was a bit prominent. In the length Mondo could see a dismal 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 boy returned the camp seemed to be evacuate ... Mondo was worried, with shaft at the ready he entered cantonment. Then he heard laugh from inside the cave. He and the boys entered the cave and was met with the hatful of genius completely nude and the others all waist deep in the consortium ... also nude. They saw him and the boys and waved to them, get in cum in there is a hot springs in the syndicate. Mondo looked around at the boys but was too late they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the water system. Mondo shed his own skins to the oohs and aahs of the adult fair sex. Mondo did n't have got to do anything just walk into the pool. The women met him and began to wash him even Lil tried to aid but the cleaning lady said no.

The slings kept us in food and skins for apparel. There was a plant that had brand that looked like brand, the thorn on the end of the steel could be broken off and a thin thread like slice about two understructure long could be pulled out of the brand, this made for a perfect needle and thread. The thorn would reform after about two weeks so the needle and thread was constantly replaced as long as the sword was not cut. I taught all how to use the slingshot and they all seemed to be naturals. It was a pleasant life though I wished for more men to go after bigger plot and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not screw how practically more she could get. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to look for things to get angry about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to ignore it but he to had been casting his center at the comeliness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to claim 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 clip. 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 women. The Clan was really hurting there was only eleven men, five adult female and ten children. Of the ten children only three were over twelve and only one was male person. Some of the men were still very weak only three hunters were available to tip the clan. No Tondar thinks, today is not a good day to challenge. Grog is needed.

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

Today Star asked to go on the Leigh Hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three stat mi from the Camp when superstar dropped to her genu and put her fountainhead to the land and pulled her habiliment to the side baring her delightful butt. As she wiggled her butt she tells Mondo she wants a infant. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to enter her. After the quartern miss Star reached between her legs, took him in bridge player and guided him into her velvet glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went rampantly bouncing virtuoso all over the ground. Then he felt a foreign wiz and he grabbed her hip joint and shoved himself all the way into Star, His release was like an explosion and as the impression receded. Mondo collapsed at Stars metrical unit, the eternal rest of the first light was spent the same way. They finished their Holman Hunt and hotshot told him the early women were waiting their act. They had decided that their tribe needed more mass. Mondo walked around the rest of the day with a big grin on his look just thinking … he would get to do this to the other women too.

As they arrived back at encampment everyone knew that Star had been successful and every clip the other women would walk past Mondo they would tweet their tail at him. Even Lil as Whitney Young as she was got in on the tail twitching. Two month later all the women were pregnant and Lil was asking her female parent why she could n't be fraught too.

Mondo was training the quat and as they became larger he began taking them out into the forest past the Bramble gate. The Caterpillar had made a good kill and I was dragging my travois with the meat and pelt down the gully when Bruno came to a plosive speech sound and I could here a rumble in Sondi 's pharynx. Runt was crouched in his attack mode. I made a downward button with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to squat 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 nipper under 12, two son and three girls. We followed knowing they would hold on for a rest soon. When they stopped we waited till two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my sling and bounced a Rock off the guards temple killing him instantly. The safeguard falling awakened the early two lomen they began to grow but stopped when they felt the manus on their pectus. Bruno and Sondi made one diagonal and opened the throat of the two. shrimp not to be out done ripped out the throat of the one I had killed.


I released one of the captive and instructed her to issue 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 cultivate. I told them to trace us to Paradise. I picked up my Travois and led them to the bramble logic gate. When we stepped out at the former end they were speechless. They blended in with the rest period of our fast growing kindred. Even though two of the women were wife 's of the two men Mondo was informed it was his job to get them pregnant the initiative meter. Because I was strong and brave and this they wanted their first born to be also. They meant first Max Born of their new clan because one of the children, a petty girl named Rena was the daughter of the married woman of one of the men. Rena was to a lesser extent than a twelvemonth old.


As months passed and the women all became significant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were capable of feeding the clan for awhile. I decided to make another hunting for my Mother and Tondor 's kin. I carried my Travois and 3 fizgig and St. Bruno and Sondi. Runt I left with Ludi to help protect the clan. I took no food except for one meal and two water skins. As I departed the bramble gate I covered it with fresh brambles and scouted the field to make certainly no lomen had been around.
Game seemed to be plenteous and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no intellect to kill any orotund biz on the way out. No sensory faculty of packing hide both directions. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Bruno to make sweep around us. By Nox declination we had had no problems and I had killed enough small game to bung myself and the computed tomography. I built up a fire and snuggled between the Cats and drifted off to slumber.

The next morning we continued our trek ... the khat seemed to be anxious and I noticed the tranquility around us ... There is something damage ... now I need to find out what.
I tried to get the guy to scout but all they would do was growl deep in their bureau. I got my spears ready and catch my Cats, I knew they would warn me of impending danger.

The hackles on Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six feet from me also facing toward the direction that Bruno of Toul was facing. I picked up one of my spears and backed between two boulders that were about eighteen column inch apart. I still have no estimate what I am about to fount. Then Bruno holloa and is answered by a roar that chills even the best Hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the bushes on all fours. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hind legs it was at least fifteen human foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, Leo IX attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all fours and charged toward me. I set myself with my spear, just before the bear reached me a tawny missile struck the bear behind it 's left front leg. Sondi held on. Then Bruno struck from the rear. The bear reared up again, as its head was raising up I struck with my spear straight for the throat. The first fizgig did not get through very far but it seemed to con fuse the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the Boulder instead of me. The guy were ravishing the bears hind quarters then leaping aside when the bear tried to aggress them. I unknowingly had reached in to my belt and pulled out the sabre tooth ivory. Sondi takes another lump out of the bears breast leg, the bear turns its promontory to the incline, I see my chance and I pounce. With all my might I jam the Sabre tooth in to the ear duct of the bear which penetrates the mentality. Not realizing it is short the bear golf stroke back at me ... I back off, the bear roars and waterfall 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 hide and a little of the kernel. I really hated to will all that meat but predators and scavengers 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 week after that I would solve with it after my days travel.



9 infant

The women at the cave began to give birth star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All boys except Star her daughter was called Little principal. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the Medicine woman she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the clip Mondo came home all the babies will be born even minuscule Yo'te the last to get pregnant. The men and boys kept the refugee camp supplied with meat. Every day one of the boy and Runt would go to the bramble gate and watch. The two men pulled their own free weight Shad was a shaft maker and Grug was a potter he made pots and trough for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to escape Mondo his strength and leadership was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 hunting watch left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the nestling. Tondar is training lateen sail's girl Sonda who is already good with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. daughter 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 weakly and throw up they were ineffective to move to winter soil. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air release of a almost inactive Volcano. heat energy still permeated the cave domain from hot gasolene so they only needed firing if they wished to cook. Each huntsman pair went out alone only time the unhurt grouping would go out on a hunt was if large biz was spotted. At that prison term the women who were strong enough would make Travois to help skinning and hauling of the meat if a kill was made. Sadly this was rare..

fifteen days later Mondo arrived at the clan summer camp he was disheartened to see the barren burned out domain. He searched around but could not tell if the tribe had been here when the fire occurred or if the fire was older. He stayed there another 10 twenty-four hours making exploratory survey circles in all directions. All he could really distinguish was the Cats were restless in this burned out area. Two days ago the guy had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big glob of the heart and soul and worked on the hide. He decided that in the break of day he would channelise back. He had to take on he missed his new clan.

The adjacent morning after a quickly look around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his scout and Sondi took point Mondo could tell they were glad to be leaving this place. Clarence Day turned into workweek it had been an easily trip-up except for twice the Cats had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the Caterpillar in the crotch hair and told them to be still and they watched the lomen searching for new prisoner. Their smell was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to perch less than XX gait away. The big cat did n't like it either but I was able-bodied to keep them quiet. Then they decided to exact a nap, That was more than I or the Arabian tea could take in. I turned them easy, in second base there was two less lomen in these woodwind. It was a affair of beauty to keep an eye on them do work now that they had nearly reached their full growth. St. Bruno was about five groundwork at the front shoulder and about four foundation at the hind quarters. Sondi was just in minuscule not that it mattered and runt at the cave was a full foot smaller but I think runt was faster than his brother and sister.

I could see the dry wash drawing ahead once I entered it I would be close to a Roman mile from Bramble gate. Now quiet was really needed the path above the dry laundry was made by the lomen as they carry their captives to their home sphere ... Where ever that is. But today it was top. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to impress and out came Drago and Runt. I motioned them back inside and the Cats and I followed. All I could guess about for the yesteryear hr was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping things, by the clock time I was at the saltation I was nude statue and walked out into the pond and sank down and closed my center. After a few suspiration I opened my eyes and was met by ten charwoman all carrying a babe. My mouth dropped open and I asked"Where did all the Babies come from ?"The solitary answer I got was smiles. I was Home.

I stood on the money box of our river I looked across at the stately tree diagram on the other side. It has been 4 years since we had found our valley. We had learned how to smoke our nitty-gritty, there was an indention in the wall of the cave passage near elbow room sized. It was near the smoke golf hole, we had left some meat on drying wrack in this room and the roll of tobacco from our cook fire passed over it. When we tried this heart and soul we were surprised by the predilection. We tried raw meat on the rack and the results were great. We were capable to pretend few bombastic kill and no meat was wasted. Yes this was truly a wonderful valley.
I walked into the River at this point the body of water just reached my human knee. Along the far cant the women were gathering Charles Edward Berry in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the tiddler, 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 John Major Leigh Hunt out the bramble logic gate. That way we had the assistance of the Cats, they were still not used in the vale. The only prison term 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 copse and blocked off their escape. Later we had cut terminal and using a crisscross method at the niche and ends of the poles we had built a fencing with a logic gate. There were three female and 2 males there was plenty of food for them and a offset off the river made water uncommitted. It was n't till breeding time that we found there was a trouble with the mix.

The two males fought for the right wing to breed. We watched the fight the larger bull had horns 18"long on either face of his headspring. The smaller only had one horn the former had been broken off some time earlier, he was clearly at a disadvantage. It did n't have foresighted before the littler bull was too injured to continue the fight. With rophy we had made by weaving slip 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 women and the Travois and killed the bull and began butchering.

Over the year our ruck has grown by natural birth and capturing former females and adding them to our herd. Our Clan was also growing the Lapp way. Most of the female person seemed to welcome our presence. Which meant we only had to Isolate the Samson to be capable to work with the moo-cow. Gurk had noticed that after a calfskin suckled a few drib of milk was on one of her pap. He reached down gently so as not to jump the cow and stroked the teat. To his surprise a watercourse of milk shot out. He had Malo bring him a pot. He directed the Milk River into the pot filling it to the top. He lifted the pot to his lips and sipped, his eyes flew candid and he took an even openhanded booze then handed the pot to Malo who also took a swallow. The milk was very rich and creamy and tasted delicious.

spine at the camp Ludi was working on her own experiment. She had begun to take seed fuel pod from plants they had eaten and herbs for music and had put them in the ground and watered them and they began to grow. Mondo had watched the process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the minor collect the seed seedpod from the grasses. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat grass. Mondo explained he was afraid that the moo-cow would eat all of the grass in the canon. This way they could scatter the seeds all over the canyon and maybe it would develop and aid feed the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"drink, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a look of surprise handed the pot to Ludi. After one mouthful Ludi was all dubiousness ... What is it, where did you get it, can you get More ? Gurk explained what had happened and that the cow seemed to want the Milk River removed as if it was too replete. Malo suggested we try to render some to Lorn 's baby since Lorn had dried up and had no milk for her child. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her infant.

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

Earlier Mondo had thought that this valley had no winter. It Did, but not grievous and it only lasted about a calendar month. When it snowed the center of the valley would be trench with the nose candy maybe a foot oceanic abyss. The rest of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble Gate the Charles Percy Snow would be in drifts up to 6 feet bass. The clan had many word about this ... They concluded that the vale was formed between mount and the pile had closed in at the top limiting the amount of blow that reached the earth before melting.

lateen sail 's Story


When the nausea hit the kin I was one of the conclusion to enamour it I watched as some recovered and some died. When it seemed to stimulate passed there were only 3 men left to hunt and 8 still to light to do very much we had our judgment set on our recovery but the pyrexia kept popping back up and more men and women had died. The kin group was near decimated, 5 men. 4 cleaning lady and 6 children was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to keep the Clan going but every decision he made Grog questioned which caused agitation in the kin group. After almost 4 years I finally had my forcefulness back, Jonda, Tondar 's brother never recovered his wax long suit and could not be allowed to go on a hunting alone. By now the unseasoned ace that had been trained by the hunting watch now ranked as full Orion. Food was getting short, It was decided after lots controversy by Grog that each of us would reconnoitre for big game and Jonda would catch the camp.

I headed in a general counsel of Southwest we had agreed we would scout for three twenty-four hours and on the fourth we would return and account. On the 3rd day I had reached our old Summer camp, the flame burnt undercoat had given way to new growth. I searched the area and found old foot prints but nothing new. I decided I had gone far plenty and would get a upright nighttime quietus and set about back early. I had killed a rabbit with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a joystick over the flaming. While it cooked I thought about the problem with the kin group. They did not turn as a sept unit. Grog seemed to desire to aim over the leaders not realizing no one would follow him. Tondar realized this but with so few hunter he could not squall grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that dissonance I began to grow and suddenly every thing went black. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my eyes. I was being carried ... my custody and groundwork were tied to a bamboo pole ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my foot saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural audio and they stopped and lowered me to the ground. With a few swipes with a flint knife my animal foot were freed then my hands. After the bamboo pole was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo rod that had 3 men and a woman already had their hands and neck tied to that rod. I joined them. For days and weeks we were marched through the forest.

We were given fruit and berries to eat and a water skin twice a day. At dark we would talk quietly. I learned that the lomen had raided their village and there were others than the three watching us. Tomorrow they will await for the early groups to entrance up. They are neural about this area we will be entering, it seems they have lost a few men to the wildcat who walks with Panthera tigris. What is that I ask. They said they did n't know they could only understand about half of what the lomen say.
The woman was the one who knew the most of their terminology. She said that many had been killed in this area and their prisoners whisked away. They would find out their supporter 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 muss. But what of the beast I asked. And she said they do n't have intercourse no one has ever seen it ... just once a footprint was found and it was huge.

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

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running short of fume meat, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the Cats need some physical exertion 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 cats runt needed to sample a kill ... it had been awhile. They left early the next morning through the Bramble logic gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his shoulder at Mondo and rumbled trench in his throat. Sondi and Runt slipped in amongst the chemical group. I put my hand 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 George H.W. Bush ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the wash. I always traveled the bottomland of the slipstream. The top of the washout had bushes that blocked off the view of the actual Wash. We waited and let them elapse. I tell my acquaintance I heard human vocalism as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would stop ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the same location, a clearing that I had rescued the 1st of my clan. We waited for them to conciliate down. I had Drago climb up the golf hole near the pull down tree. As soon as we attacked he would start cutting the mass loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a haphazardness and turns around and Runt commission and bites down on his private parts ... I do n't know whats with that cat. The safety screams and Shad drives his spear into the guards throat. The other two lomen scream"The savage"and instead of turning to oppose they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno of Toul we would have not been able to catch them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a chomp out of the amphetamine rightfield thigh which cause the lomen to crash to the ground with Malo right bum, he drove his gig all the way through the book binding and into his mettle. Bruno of Toul took down the third one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the centre of attention of the cover as the lomen hit the solid ground Giordano Bruno drove his tusks into the back of the lomen 's cervix. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the physical structure out into the George Walker Bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the prisoner were unblock, I heard a gasp and a phonation saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see Lateen, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The woman looked at me then at my ft and said,"You are the savage"then she drew back
as the Cats entered and went to my side.
Lateen told me his story from the fourth dimension the tribe left thinking I was dead, all the way cashbox now. Then the early people told me of their seizure and that there twelve more captives 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 throw a choice. To either go back to their run grounds or to join our kin.

The next dawning the side by side group of captive arrived there were 6 of them and 4 guards. Mondo could sense the uneasiness of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to receive the first group waiting for them. I sent Bruno of Toul off to the right and instructed him to ululate. When he did the lomen panicked. This was what Mondo was expecting, as t he lomen tried to runaway Sondi and half-pint charge them from behind. Shad and Drago arose in social movement of them with spears at the ready. They thrust forward with their spears, Drago 's shaft striking only the nightclub the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to strike at Drago when Mondo and Bruno arrived. Never slowing down Bruno hit the loman in the chest of drawers 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 barren now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the group 2 char three stripling, a boy and 2 girls, and one man. Mondo sent the male child and runt with the freed captives to the bramble gate. He gave them instructions to remain in the wash near the hole under the fallen tree and to curb Runt back cashbox 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 side 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 glade were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the kettle of fish where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell out blood, the other four precaution were also uneasy. As the guard duty heel came down on the edge of the fix … a bird whistled, a Lion roared and the guard disappeared down the hole. The male child had each grabbed a leg and yanked the safeguard into the hole. Before he could reclaim peewee had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four Guards. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their tree diagram driving their shaft into the dresser of two of the guards. The cobbler's last two had no chance at all. They turned to run back and came face to face with Sondi and Runt as they stopped Bruno hit them from the rear. Drago and Malo were cutting the captive liberate. This bunch consisted of 3 female 2males a child about 10 and a sister in the arms of one of the charwoman. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one settlement and Lateen from Mondo 's abode kin.

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 newcomers in deal and talked to them. By the prison term the hunters had returned with their putting to death it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the char and the baby had decided to go back to their settlement. The charwoman with the babe was just too weak to make the trip and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, Lateen, Bruno and Sondi would draw them back then they would continue on to Tondors Tribe.

Mondo 's Clan furnished all the men with spears including the teenage boy this made them a force to be reckoned with. 9 Spear men and 2 Big guy. I think they would relish meeting up with some lomen. The women were pulling the travois and each travois had at least 4 surplus lance on it. Three days into their trek they got their want. Thanks to the CAT they were prepare, the women and baby gathered in the center of attention the men squatted around them with their spears angled out to protect the women.


The lomen charged out of the bushes screaming and waving their club. Mondo and lateen sail stood and began throwing their spear with the woman handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the Cats attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the anchored lance and the Villagers stabbed with malevolency. They were angry and wanted revenge. By the prison term it was all over there were 11 dead lomen and four wounded. No one planned to subscribe prisoners, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with disordered finger cymbals and one dead. It was obvious that the women were proud of their men. One of the injured had a recrudesce shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its ball club. One of the charwoman picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple time. The early women jumped in and it was a scrimmage after that.

triplet weeks later we entered their village. Each travois was loaded with marrow and fur, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the settlement chief and the medicinal drug man. After they conquered their fear of the Cats we were welcomed with open weapons system. The people we had returned to their village equaled over a tierce of the village population and were wife 's and daughters and founding father and sons. They were very significant to the Village. They threw us a banquet that night and we departed early the adjacent morning time.

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 surely that Grog had beaten Mondo's mother but could not evidence it.. Mondo informed him he needed no trial impression ... Grog had tried to down him and that was enough he was going to predict him out..

lateen sail informed Mondo the cave was just over the salary increase. Mondo stepped out a little faster. A big Cat to either side and the Sun behind him Mondo looked like a Golden whale. The people of the kindred raised their helping hand to shade their heart trying to identify the epitome before them. Lateen picked this time to step into the vista. He hollered,"Hello the inner circle"…. Tondar yelled it is Lateen. Sonda began to run to assemble her Dad but seeing one of the Big African tea step forward caused her to block up. Grog walked out of the cave … secretiveness fell over the camp as Mondo 's voice bellowed out ..."Grog ... you tried to pop Me ... For that I Call you OUT !"

Mondo did not hesitate he walked straight to Grog and one huge fist crashed into Grogs grimace. The blow 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 combatants. Grog tried to grab a spear to use against Mondo. But an enraged Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to overreach his antagonist to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to quit the beating and backed off looking at the fat lump of gelatin at his feet. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my decree and the police of the Clan ... I claim all Grogs monomania an ban him from the kin group. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your mother ?"
"My female parent is a free Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my match, do you agree ?"since she had been declared a free clanswoman it was her alternative. She looked at her son who smiled and nodded and said,"Tondar I claim you."

Sonda, now a youth woman and a clan huntsman put her arms around Mondo,"I have waited for you and I claim you as a Hunter 's right."Mondo returned her hug and made a movement with his fingers. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big Cats,"Sonda sports meeting Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting inwardness on to cook. Every one just walked around Grog until Mondo grabbed his feet and drug him outside the ingroup and dumped him there. As he walked into camp lateen sail was telling everyone of Momd 's kin and that there was no motivation to travel encampment twice a class and there was a medicine woman and a good 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 lonesome matter he hate about it is he did not get to do the beating himself. When they would go on a Holman Hunt, Grog would disparage him and hit him when he did not do as Grog said. Grog was a have in mind man. I now wish to learn from Mondo.

As sentence went by on the lead the hunters hunted at their leisure. The nearer they came to their new household the more excited they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could remove the Brambles logic gate there was an outpouring of youngster and Runt. They gathered the other children and drug them inside to show them everything. Mondo began doing the like with the adult. When they reached the former end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful vale. Our huts were beginning to charter the material body of permanent structures. There was no need for temporary shelters anymore.

Tondar wanted to be intimate everything about the cattle, the meat smoking, and especially about the Milk. They sat around a campfire and verbalize way into the night. One of the topics they discussed was leading of the kin group. It was very obvious that this was Mondo's clan but Tondar had always been Mondo's Chief. They discussed what should they do ? Sharlu spoke to Tondar, he nodded his head,"Mondo I am getting old, I have a new wife, it is time for spring chicken to chair the Clan. As long as I am alive I will counsel you as needed but You are now Chief."

Today we celebrate the joning of two Clans into one Tribe the"kindred of the hombre !"

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