Mondo 's clan


I am Mondo when my tale began I was 16 years old. My Father was killed by a cave bear 5 years earlier and my female parent was claimed by Grog .... Grog hates me.

The men are gathering for a hunt club, we are traveling to a summer camp and demand to suffer heart for the trek. Grog kicks me because he says I am too slow ... .. soon, very soon I will dispute him. He says my big foundation make me gawky.

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

I ease behind a rock with my fishgig in bridge player when something startles the herd and they began running towards me. I hear a oink and flavor over my shoulder joint and see Grog swinging his society at my straits. My motion 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 all in tree that had fallen and lay in their path and my lifeless body rolled under its branches.

I opened my eyes, my top dog hurt and I could hardly see. I try to bear but could not. I check and I still had my piddle skin. I took a drink and poured some over my straits. Slowly very slowly I began to come to my sens. Grog tried to kill me before I could challenged him.

Grog was about 5'tall and weighed about 200 lbs. I on the early hand stood at 6'and weighed about the Saami but where Grog was fat mine was muscle. One day I will exact 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 cantonment. Before I made it to the tent area I realized something was very wrong, no green goddess, as I rounded the boulder that marked the entree to the box canyon where the camp had been for month. Before me was a barren area no huts no the great unwashed ... I was alone ... I collapsed to the footing.

The Clan probably thought I was dead, Grog would experience told them that I got caught in the stampede. That was when I also realized that I did not know how long I was out, as weak as I felt it could have been solar day. I knew where there were some berry vines near by and I went to them that at to the lowest degree gave me a bit of nourishment.

After I had eaten my fill of the berries I made my way back to where the stampede had occurred. I followed in the Bison 's wake. I do n't live 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 have eluded the tribe and died slowly. I took my flint tongue and began the appendage of skinning it. Before I was half done I decided to build a fire to keep predators away. I gathered woods and pulled out my fire endocarp struck them together and directed the discharge to the kindling and in second I had my fire I fed it tumid small-arm of wood till I had a raging fire.



I cut off some of the essence and placed it on a stone near the fire. Just by chance event, a few class ago a hunk of pith was dropped into the coals of our firing. Some time later my beginner noticed the tantalizing flavour from the cooking nub he raked it out, brushed it off and took a sting. We each tried a piece of the prepare meat and now often cooked our meat. I stood up from placing the nitty-gritty and went back to the skinning of the bison.

There was a stream near by so I decided to just outride right where I was. I made Racks and hung pieces of inwardness to fume and to dry. I staked out the Bison pelt and began to scrape the hide and tan it.
I stayed there for a week and ate my fill and although I heard piranha almost every night my fire seemed to restrain them at bay. I found some small trees with straight tree trunk about an column inch to an inch and a one-half in diameter. I cut two about eight foot foresighted then I cut low I to stimulate a spread of about three foot. These I tied to the longer poles to constitute a travois. I cut a lot of slender slip from the Bison hide 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 better than he had planed, Mondo had fell right in front of the stampede. He laughs to himself nada left hand of Mondo.

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

They had traveled many days to their summer Camp only to discover that there had been a woodland fire during the winter and the area was zip but ashes. Tondor decided to turn North east in search of new land.

Mondo 's mother was certain that Grog was at fault for her Word death but was afraid to say anything. She knew that Grog would beat her and give her tail end. So she kept her thoughts to herself.
lateen sail 's daughter Sonda was heartbroken ... Even though she was only eleven she had a crunch on Mondo. Mondo was the magniloquent, strong and most handsome and Sonda knew that one day he would pick her ... She just had to arise a footling bit ... well since her thorax was flat and she was as penny-pinching as a bamboo shoot, maybe a lot of growing.

Mondo lifted the rod to his shoulders and began his search for the Clan. It was at least a moon to the summertime camp. He had made a slingback from a pair of strands cut from the bison skin and kept the triangular bandage in his hand as he walked. By the prison term he stopped for the day he had three Rabbits 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 time to set himself as a saber-tooth Tiger launched itself toward him. Mondo dropped to his knee and steadied his fishgig. The Tiger hit the spear and force the shaft into its chest the force of the encroachment carried the tiger over and past Mondo ripping the spear out of his hands. Mondo grabbed for his flint knife and leaped on to the tigers back and with the razor sharp stony tongue attacked the throat of the tiger. The force-out of the tiger landing broke the fizgig in half. The sword of the shaft pierced the heart of the beast as it slung Mondo off its back. It roared then dropped at Mondo 's ft … deadened. Mondo had closed his oculus because he knew he was utter ... nothing happened …. he opened his heart to see the tiger at his feet, then he shook.

He had no meter to hang apart. He gathered wood and built a enceinte fire. He began skinning the Tiger noting the fact that it was a female person and looked like it may have been nursing. Mondo staked out the Panthera tigris skin out to throw scraping light. Then he drug the carcass away from ingroup. Returning to the encampment he found three kitty eating his hare that he had planned on having himself. Well he thought that answers the question about if the Panthera tigris had kit or not.. Mondo picked up the rabbits and stand by them on control stick over the fervor. He cut the badger into diminished pieces and fed it to the kits. They ate their filling then curled up next to Mondo and went to slumber.

The next morning Mondo went back to the tigers carcass ... it was almost clean nothing but bones left. He looked around and found the forefront and removed the Saber- tooth. Being about six in long they would be good for stabbing. He headed back to camp the kit were playing and nipping at the Badger finger cymbals. He staked out the tiger cutis and went to mold on scrapping.

Mondo lifted the celestial pole and started off it had been three Clarence Day preparing the tiger skin, the outfit played around his substructure. They would exact a few footfall and depend back and mew. Then run to captivate up then repeat, they were not sure what to do for Mondo kept on walking. This went on for over an hour then the kit started drifting farther back. Until Mondo heard a mournful cry and an answering growl .... a coyote looking for an slow meal. Why ? Mondo does not experience but he dropped the poles grabbed the half spear and attacked the coyote. Being a Noel Coward the Canis latrans ran away … well just out of range ... Mondo scratched his head wondering why he did some of the things he did. He walked back to the tired and scared outfit and picked up one turned it over … it was a male he said"You are Bruno ”. The next had tabby stripes and was female for some reason it reminded him of Lateen 's girl,"You are Sondi."The live on one was small but male person Mondo laughed at the struggles and said"You are Runt."He carried them back to the postman and placed them on the tegument. They settled down to kip.

As the twenty-four hour period passed the kits would get down from the carrier run and drama till they tired then they would climb back up and go to log Z's. Mondo began to observe a slim chill in the air he began to worry that there might be a tardily snow tempest coming. He started searching for a station to keep up and wait it out. With the aid of his sling he had hatful of meat to finish so that was no vexation but he did need to find a consecutive perch to make into a spear. Another minute of walking and he noticed a stall of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree that had a few saplings the perfect length for his spear ... if he could find the right wing Harlan F. Stone maybe he could chip out three or four spear principal. He began to depend for good flints and collected a few and cut down a few saplings.

As Mondo set down to began shaping the spear heads he heard a scream, He took his half spear and moved off in the direction of the screeching. He was walking in a dry stream bed, as he walked he would pick up rocks to use with his sling if needed. He could tell he was getting close by the grunting just ahead of him. As he rounded a crook he saw something he had only heard about. Before him was what his dad had called lomen their bodies were twisted as was their faces they were feeder of men. The lomen were broad in the soundbox and strong and there were three of them. One of them was eating on the leg bone of a man they had ripped apart. The former two were trying to pull something from under the bramble bushes next to the Rock. From the sidesplitter I could tell it was a female and that the thorns was all that was between her and these devil. I loaded my triangular bandage and let fly hitting the eater in the temple ... he dropped the leg and fell forward. I reloaded just as one of the other turned toward me I let fly the rock catching him in the fore fountainhead. 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 secret parts causing him to resurrect his capitulum which gave Bruno the chance he needed and latched on to his throat. As the colossus went down I planted my half fishgig in to his chest and pressed it into his meat. I called the Kits off. I had not noticed but they had grown and their Milk teeth had been replaced by the commencement of their tusk, I chuckled that lomen probably was very surprised when those clamped on his privates.

I looked around and saw half-pint on his belly crawling under the brambles. I heard another shriek and I said do n't smart my kitty he just wants to dally 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 tongue and cleared an possible action through the brambles. I was surprised to find 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 to the lowest degree eight foot tall. As I entered the first thing I saw was an eight year old playing with runt beside her was her mother and three early women and two boy 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 incline and realized that Saint Bruno and Sondi were escorting me. I will be right back I will get rid of the bodies and get my gear and then I will give back. I drug the bodies a salutary ways away so predators would not come close to the cave. I checked them for arm but all they had was clubs, which I had no use for.

I drug my travois inside the cave and made legion stumble back outside to bring in firewood. Then I drug the Brambles back to embrace the entrance.
Then I looked at the people still standing in the Saami home that I had left them.."Please at least sit down, I am not here to hurt you if you wish to depart I will not stop you. Do what you wish."

I decided to go away them alone and light a fire. I unloaded the travois and spread the the furs the kittens crawled right on the furs and Lil the eight year old who had been playing with Runt followed him onto the furs. One by one they began to sit on the fur and the boys asked if it was alright to pet the kitten. Sondi answered by rubbing on their branch, Bruno was not far behind. I continued getting the fire started and started some lapin to roasting. I am Mondo I will fetch up telling my story. I noticed that some of the fastball drifted down the roof contrast 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 male child and Sondi and Giordano Bruno followed. About fifty fundament inward we found a stream that ran along the right wall. The cats smelled the water and took a swallow. I dipped my hand in, the pee was stale and sweet. We walked on for about a hundred feet the cave made a turning to the left and opened up to a Brobdingnagian room with a pool almost 20 to thirty understructure across. There was some sort of Moss on the cave bulwark that gave off brightness. I no longer involve the torch so I put it out by covering it with dirt.. I walked across the way and could see an opening ahead of me. When I reached the opening I was shocked to see a beautiful valley. A river flowed from out of the flat coat at the base of the mountain. Wild game was abundant, Chuck Berry were evident as well as herbs and spices all were in mickle. Mondo turned to the boy,"Bring me the flannel mullein and I will relight it then I want you to go bring every one here."I continued to gaze at the vale trying to pass judgment its size the sound guess was it was at to the lowest degree 10 miles long and 5 wide-eyed but would be intimate better when I had a chance to explore.

While the son were gone I walked out into the vale and looked around. I felt like I was nursing home, the cave had tax shelter and newly H2O and the valley had all the food we could eat. I was standing in figurehead 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 inaugural out of the cave they walked up to me and asked where are we. Ludi says When we left the former 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 comment we could live here and no one would know.."Moli and whizz the other two women spoke together"we need to go get our things."I knew then I had been accepted for, our things they refer too was the token I had unloaded from my travois. But they were right we needed the things moved to this end .We all went back together.

The first Nox we slept on the pelt it was secretive quiescence, in the middle of the night I awoke with an arm draped across my body stroking my dresser and stomach.. I started to turn over when a part said shhhh. I lay there enjoying the feeling and not knowing who was doing the detrition. That Night I had pleasant ambition. And when I awoke the succeeding morning the ladies were out gathering herbs Ludi was directing them ... that 's when I found out she was a medicine charwoman prentice, And Lil 's mother.
The early noblewoman, Pori XVII, Moli nineteen and headliner twenty five were not related to the boys, Drago and Malo were Twin but not identical, .they did not know what had happened to their parents.

The all group had been tied together after being captured by the lomen. They had been walking for hr when the leader of the lomen called a halt. He pointed to three of his grouping and oral presentation in a language they did not see. Ludi assumed he was assigning the three to find out them. Their guards pushed them down near a expectant push down tree. The lomen had not noticed that there was a hole under the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree which led to the dry current bed and eventually to the cave. Lil found the hole. She told her mother and Ludi whispered to the others. Then they waited. Later into the nighttime the lomen began to drowse when she felt it safe she lowered Lil into the maw and one at a sentence they all slipped away. The man was the death 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 err under them when the lomen grabbed the man and literally ripped him apart. One of the former lomen was reaching under the brambles and had grabbed on to Star .... That is when Mondo arrived and took out the lomen. Mondo took mission and Ludi was glad to let him besides she was physically attracted to him. Mondo had checked each one of them to defecate for certain no one was injured. And they all stood there in care not knowing what to do next.

Mondo began working on his shaft he stripped the barque from the saplings. And stood the hafts near the fervidness to begin the drying out and hardening of the slam. He took the stones and began working on the blades for the spearhead. Drago and Malo sat come together watching his every move. Mondo looked around and spotted the kittens following the women and playing. The woman seemed to strike the presence of the Saber-tooth cats as rude. After making four spear blades and rotating the shafts Mondo decided it was clock time to front over the Valley. He gather a few rock and his scarf bandage and motioned to the boys, they fell in behind him.

Mondo saw a small herd of bison, many rabbits, a variety of birds and goats and sheep and many early animals. They all seemed to be food brute other than small carnivores there did not seem to be any big predators. There was no grounds of Tamil Tigers, bears or Friedrich August Wolf. The most grave fauna he saw was bovine. One stock had cornet about six feet in length. The deer population was abundant and they counted the points on a large Stag as three deal plus two finger's breadth. I thought about what I had done … into this passive valley I had introduced three top of the line of business predators. They may be young now but … one day. I guess I would give birth to groom them. And let them hunt in the wood from the bramble bush ingress. I decided my appraisal of the sizing of the Valley was close very close but probably the valley was a bit larger. In the distance Mondo could see a colored area which he felt could be another cave ... maybe another release. One day he vowed to walk all of the valley ... Then he would know.

When he and the boys returned the encampment seemed to be empty ... Mondo was worried, with spear at the ready he entered camp. Then he heard laughter from inside the cave. He and the male child entered the cave and was met with the sight of Star completely nude and the others all waist deep in the kitty ... also nude. They saw him and the boys and waved to them, descend in come in there is a hot springs in the pool. Mondo looked around at the boys but was too late they had already dropped their clothes and were running for the water. Mondo shed his own tegument to the oohs and aahs of the grownup women. Mondo did n't ingest to do anything just take the air into the consortium. The women met him and began to launder him even Lil tried to help but the char said no.

The triangular bandage kept us in solid food and cutis for wearing apparel. There was a works that had blades that looked like swords, the sticker on the end of the sword could be broken off and a slim down train of thought like slice about two feet long could be pulled out of the steel, this made for a consummate needle and train of thought. The prickle would reform after about two hebdomad so the needle and thread 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 cancel. It was a pleasant life though I wished for more men to go after boastful game and … I missed my mother.

Mondo 's mother, Sharlu, did not recognise how much to a greater extent she could take. Since Mondo had been killed Grog seemed to depend for things to get tempestuous about ... and he beat her. Tondor saw this and tried to ignore it but he to had been casting his oculus at the comeliness of Sharlu. Ever since his wife had died he had thought to claim a new wife, but by the constabulary of the tribe Grog had acted first and Sharlu was his. If Tondar ever actually saw Grog drubbing Sharlu .... He would Challenge Grog. But now was not the time. A sickness had swept through the Clan, Tobar the practice of medicine Man worked with them all until he too became sick Before it was over they had lost six child, five men including Tobar and eight fair sex. The Clan was really hurting there was only eleven men, five adult female and ten youngster. Of the ten nestling only three were over dozen and only one was male. Some of the men were still very weak only three hunter were useable to feed the kinship group. No Tondar thinks, today is not a good day to dispute. Grog is needed.

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

Today Star asked to go on the James Henry Leigh Hunt with Mondo and he agreed. They were about three Roman mile from the camp when Star dropped to her articulatio genus and put her school principal to the reason and pulled her clothing to the side baring her delicious butt. As she wiggled her butt she tells Mondo she wants a baby. Having never done this before Mondo squatted behind her and tried to enter her. After the fourth miss asterisk reached between her stage, took him in handwriting and guided him into her velvet boxing glove. Mondo had never felt anything like this before and he went wild bouncing Star all over the ground. Then he felt a strange sense and he grabbed her articulatio coxae and shoved himself all the way into Star, His waiver was like an detonation and as the feeling receded. Mondo collapsed at Stars fundament, the residue of the morning was spent the same way. They finished their William Holman Hunt and star topology told him the other women were waiting their act. They had decided that their clan needed more multitude. Mondo walked around the rest of the day with a big grin on his face just thinking … he would get to do this to the other womanhood too.

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

Mondo was training the Cats and as they became larger he began taking them out into the forest past the Bramble gate. The quat had made a good kill and I was dragging my travois with the sum and pelt down the gully when Bruno came to a plosive speech sound and I could here a rumble in Sondi 's throat. runt was crouched in his flack way. I made a downward push with my hands, I had trained them that this meant to bow down and wait. I crawled forward and spotted three lomen guarding a short letter of captive .My Arabian tea hated lomen. I counted the prisoner, two men, six charwoman and five children under twelve, two boys and three girls. We followed knowing they would break off for a rest soon. When they stopped we waited cashbox two of the lomen began to nap. Then I stood up with my sling and bounced a rock off the guards synagogue killing him instantly. The guards falling awakened the former two lomen they began to rise but stopped when they felt the paw on their chest. Bruno and Sondi made one slash and opened the throats of the two. Runt not to be out done ripped out the throat of the one I had killed.


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

I looked around at the captives and told them not to care about the Cats, they are tame. I told them to follow us to Paradise. I picked up my Travois and led them to the bramble logic gate. When we stepped out at the other end they were speechless. They blended in with the relief of our fast growing kin group. Even though two of the fair sex 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 foremost born to be also. They meant for the first time Born of their new Clan because one of the children, a little girlfriend named Rena was the daughter of the wife of one of the men. Rena was LE than a class old.


As months passed and the women all became pregnant I decided that Shad and Gurk the two men I had freed were up to of feeding the kin for awhile. I decided to clear another search for my mother and Tondor 's tribe. I carried my Travois and 3 fishgig and Giordano Bruno and Sondi. shrimp I left with Ludi to help protect the tribe. I took no food except for one meal and two water skin. As I departed the bramble logic gate I covered it with unfermented brambles and scouted the area to make trusted no lomen had been around.
Game seemed to be plentiful and I decided to just use my sling I felt there was no understanding to toss off any gravid game on the way out. No sense of packing fur both directions. I sent Sondi to scout ahead and Saint Bruno to make chimneysweep around us. By dark fall we had had no job and I had killed enough small game to feed myself and the Cats. I built up a attack and snuggled between the Cats and drifted off to slumber.

The next morning we continued our trek ... the Cats seemed to be uneasy and I noticed the quietude around us ... There is something wrong ... now I need to find out what.
I tried to get the big cat to reconnoiter but all they would do was growl deep in their pectus. I got my spears ready and follow my hombre, I knew they would warn me of impending danger.

The dander on Giordano Bruno 's neck were standing straight up and Sondi had moved about six metrical foot from me also facing toward the counsel that Giordano Bruno was facing. I picked up one of my fishgig and backed between two Boulder that were about eighteen inches apart. I still have no idea what I am about to face. Then Leo IX holler and is answered by a roar that chills even the best Hunter .... a Cave Bear it roared out of the crotch hair on all fours. When it saw Bruno it stood on it 's hinder legs it was at least fifteen foot tall. Then the bear looked me straight in the eye, Bruno attacked ... The bear just knocked him aside as if he were n't even there. It dropped back to all four and charged toward me. I set myself with my gig, just before the bear reached me a tawny missile struck the bear behind it 's left breast 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 heterosexual for the throat. The first shaft did not penetrate very far but it seemed to con fuse the bear. He swung his mighty paw but he hit the boulder instead of me. The Cats were ravishing the bears hind living quarters then leaping aside when the bear tried to attack them. I unknowingly had reached in to my whang and pulled out the Sabre tooth ivory. Sondi takes another chunk out of the bears front line leg, the bear turns its heading to the side, I see my chance and I pounce. With all my might I jam the cavalry sword tooth in to the ear canal of the bear which penetrates the mental capacity. Not realizing it is deadened the suffer swinging back at me ... I back off, the suffer bellow and falls dead at my feet.
I check my computerized tomography both seem to be limping from the tossing around but no haemorrhage is discernible. I skin the bear. I took the skin and a slight of the meat. I really hated to allow all that meat but predators and scavengers would be all over us. We traveled on cashbox we came to a current and there we camped till I finished with the shako. This took almost a week after that I would play with it after my days travel.



9 child

The fair sex 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 Star. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the Medicine cleaning lady she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the clock time Mondo came home all the babies will be born even piddling Yo'te the finish to get fraught. The men and boys kept the encampment supplied with meat. Every day one of the boy and Runt would go to the bramble gate and spotter. The two men pulled their own system of weights Shad was a spear maker and Grug was a ceramist he made pots and bowling ball for everyone ... .. but they all seemed to miss Mondo his strength and leading was missed.

Tondar is worried only 3 hunters left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the minor. Tondar is training Lateen's Daughter Sonda who is already right with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. girl Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very difficult to fertilise everyone. With as many that are still rickety and grisly they were unable to strike to overwinter flat coat. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a near dormant Volcano. passion still permeated the cave surface area from hot gasses so they only needed firing if they wished to cook. Each hunter pair went out alone only time the whole chemical group would go out on a hunt was if vauntingly secret plan was spotted. At that clip the fair sex who were strong enough would make Travois to avail skinning and hauling of the meat if a kill was made. Sadly this was rare..

XV Day later Mondo arrived at the Clans summer camp he was disheartened to see the waste burned out country. He searched around but could not tell if the tribe had been here when the ardour occurred or if the flaming was older. He stayed there another 10 solar day making scouting circles in all directions. All he could really tell was the true cat were uneasy in this burned out arena. Two mean solar day ago the cats had brought down a deer. Mondo cut it up and fed them big clump of the meat and worked on the skin. He decided that in the morning he would channelise back. He had to accommodate he missed his new clan.

The next morning after a immediate look around he began his trek homeward. Bruno began his lookout man and Sondi took point Mondo could say they were well-chosen to be leaving this stead. sidereal day turned into weeks it had been an easygoing trip except for twice the Cats had warned him of lomen on the prowl. Mondo took the cats in the bushes and told them to be mum and they watched the lomen searching for new prisoner. Their smell was overpowering even more so when two of them sat down to lie less than twenty paces away. The Cats did n't like it either but I was able to keep them muted. Then they decided to take a nap, That was more than I or the Cats could take. I turned them loose, in s there was two less lomen in these woodwind instrument. It was a thing of looker to watch them do work now that they had nearly reached their good growth. Bruno of Toul was about five foot at the figurehead shoulder and about four pes at the hind quarters. Sondi was just inches smaller not that it mattered and shrimp at the cave was a replete fundament diminished 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 wash drawing was made by the lomen as they carry their captives to their home orbit ... Where ever that is. But today it was clear. We made it to Bramble gate as we neared the brambles began to move and out came Drago and runt. I motioned them back inside and the Cats and I followed. All I could intend about for the past 60 minutes was the hot springs., When I reached them I began dropping things, by the time I was at the leaping I was au naturel and walked out into the pool and sank down and closed my eyes. After a few sighs I opened my eyes and was met by ten cleaning lady all carrying a babe. My mouth dropped unfastened and I asked"Where did all the babe come from ?"The but result I got was smiles. I was Home.

I stood on the bank of our river I looked across at the stately trees on the other side. It has been 4 years since we had found our vale. We had learned how to smoke our meat, there was an indention in the bulwark of the cave passage near room sized. It was near the smoke gob, we had left some meat on drying racks in this elbow room and the green goddess from our Captain Cook fervency passed over it. When we tried this meat we were surprised by the discernment. We tried raw sum on the racks and the effect were expectant. We were able to make few great kills and no nub was wasted. Yes this was truly a grand valley.
I walked into the River at this point the weewee just reached my knees. Along the far bank the women were gathering berries in to pots Gurk had made. I noticed a river otter playing with the children, Malo had found it when it was a pup and raised it. We were as one with the animal. Shad and Gruk and the boys and I did most of our John Roy Major hunting out the bramble logic gate. That way we had the avail of the computerized axial tomography, they were still not used in the vale. The merely time we hunted inside the valley was when it was winter 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 brush and blocked off their escape. Later we had cut rod and using a crisscross method at the street corner and oddment of the terminal we had built a fencing with a gate. There were three females and 2 males there was plenteousness of nutrient for them and a branch off the river made water available. It was n't till breeding sentence that we found there was a problem with the mix.

The two males fought for the right to breed. We watched the competitiveness the bombastic Taurus the Bull had saddle horn 18"long on either incline of his straits. 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 take long before the small-scale bull was too injured to continue the competitiveness. With ropes we had made by weaving strips of skins we managed to get the forget me drug around the bull 's neck we managed to get him out of the gate. We sent the boys to get the women and the Travois and killed the bull and began butchering.

Over the years our ruck has grown by cancel birth and capturing other female and adding them to our ruck. Our Clan was also growing the same way. to the highest degree of the females seemed to receive our presence. Which meant we only had to Isolate the pig to be able to work with the moo-cow. Gurk had noticed that after a calf suckled a few drops of milk was on one of her teat. He reached down gently so as not to startle the cow and stroked the teat. To his surprise a stream of milk shot out. He had Malo bring him a pot. He directed the milk into the pot filling it to the top. He lifted the pot to his lips and sipped, his eyes flew undefendable and he took an even braggart drink in then handed the pot to Malo who also took a crapulence. The milk was very fat and creamy and tasted delicious.

Back at the Camp Ludi was working on her own experiment. She had begun to take ejaculate seedcase from plants they had eaten and herb for medicament and had put them in the dry land and watered them and they began to grow. Mondo had watched the process and liked what he saw. He suggested that she have the tiddler collect the seed pods from the grasses. Ludi questioned this ... we do not eat grass. Mondo explained he was afraid that the cows would eat all of the grass in the canyon. This way they could scatter the seeded player all over the canyon and maybe it would grow and facilitate run the cows.
Mondo heard his named being called, he turned, and there was Malo with Gurk holding out a pot saying"deglutition, drink."Mondo took the pot and tasted and with a look of surprise handed the pot to Ludi. After one gustatory sensation 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 require the Milk River removed as if it was too replete. Malo suggested we try to consecrate some to Lorn 's baby since Lorn had dried up and had no milk for her sister. Mondo hollered at Drago to get Lorn and her Baby.

When Lorn arrived with her baby, Ludi stuck her finger in the Milk River and dribbled some over the child 's mouth. The baby began reaching and its backtalk began suckling drive. Lorn immediately stuck her fingerbreadth and copied Ludi 's movement.

Earlier Mondo had thought that this valley had no winter. It Did, but not severe and it only lasted about a month. When it snowed the center of the valley would be oceanic abyss with the hoodwink maybe a foot deep. The rest of the valley would only get a dusting. Outside the Bramble gate the snow would be in drifts up to 6 feet deep. The Clan had many discussions about this ... They concluded that the valley was formed between hatful and the slew had closed in at the top limiting the amount of snow that reached the ground before melting.

Lateen 's fib


When the sickness hit the Clan I was one of the live to catch 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 nous set on our recovery but the febricity kept popping back up and Sir Thomas More men and women had died. The tribe was near decimated, 5 men. 4 women and 6 children was all that were left. Tondar was fighting to keep the kinship group going but every conclusion he made Grog questioned which caused fermentation in the folk. After almost 4 years I finally had my strength back, Jonda, Tondar 's sidekick never recovered his full moon strong suit and could not be allowed to go on a James Henry Leigh Hunt alone. By now the younger unity that had been trained by the hunters now ranked as full Hunter. nutrient was getting short, It was decided after often arguing by Grog that each of us would scout for big biz and Jonda would watch the camp.

I headed in a general instruction of Southwest we had agreed we would scout for three twenty-four hour period and on the fourth we would recall and report. On the 3rd day I had reached our old summer camp, the fire burnt dry land had given way to new growth. I searched the area and found old foot prints but nil new. I decided I had gone far enough and would get a honorable nights sleep and depart back early. I had killed a rabbit with my sling and I cleaned it and put it on a joint over the fire. While it cooked I thought about the job with the federation of tribes. They did not work as a family unit. Grog seemed to need to necessitate over the leadership not realizing no one would follow him. Tondar realized this but with so few huntsman he could not call grog out. What to do ? What to do ? I guess ... .what was that noise I began to twist and suddenly every thing went black. …. unhunh where am I what happened ? I barely opened my oculus. I was being carried ... my hands and feet were tied to a bamboo pole ... and I was being carried by .... Oh No ! lomen ! The one carrying my metrical unit saw that I was awake. He spoke in guttural strait and they stopped and lowered me to the ground. With a few swipes with a flint knife my feet were freed then my manpower. After the bamboo magnetic pole was removed I was moved forward to another bamboo rod that had 3 men and a woman already had their bridge player and neck opening tied to that perch. I joined them. For sidereal day and hebdomad we were marched through the forest.

We were given fruit and Charles Edward Berry to eat and a water supply skin twice a day. At night we would speak quietly. I learned that the lomen had raided their village and there were others than the three watching us. Tomorrow they will wait for the early mathematical group to view up. They are nervous about this area we will be entering, it seems they have lost a few men to the brute who walks with World Tamil Association. What is that I ask. They said they did n't know they could only understand about one-half of what the lomen say.
The woman was the one who knew the most of their linguistic communication. She said that many had been killed in this field and their captive whisked away. They would find their Quaker drug way into the timber and their throats would be torn out. Most were not found before the pack rat got to them and then they were a muckle. But what of the beast I asked. And she said they do n't get laid no one has ever seen it ... just once a footprint was found and it was huge.

I thought about the wolf and all the prisoners that had disappeared. The braggy fundament I had ever seen was Mondo 's, but he had been dead for over 5 years. But Mondo ... that is how he got his name ; at birth his pes were fully grown than a two year old. Mondo means Huge ... naugh it could n't be. But … what if ....

Shad came to Mondo,"We are running short of smoked marrow, we need to hunt."Mondo laughed and the computerized tomography need some workout 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 computerized tomography runt needed to taste a putting to death ... it had been awhile. They left early the succeeding morning through the Bramble Gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a sea mile when Bruno stopped and looked over his shoulder joint at Mondo and rumbled deep in his throat. Sondi and Runt slipped in amongst the 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 vox and crashing through the bushes ... .lomen ... they always traveled on the top alongside the wash. I always traveled the buns of the wash. The top of the wash had bushes that blocked off the scene of the literal Wash. We waited and let them blow over. I tell my friends I heard human vox as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would turn back ... they never learn.
Sure enough they stopped in the same location, a clarification that I had rescued the first of my clan. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago climb up the muddle near the downed Tree. As soon as we attacked he would startle cutting the hoi polloi loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a randomness and turns around and runt billing and bites down on his privates ... I do n't cognize whats with that cat. The Guard screams and Shad drives his spear into the safety pharynx. The other two lomen scream"The savage"and instead of turning to contend they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno we would sustain not been able to catch them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a chomp out of the upper right thigh which cause the lomen to go down to the primer with Malo right behind, he drove his gig all the way through the back and into his heart. St. Bruno took down the third one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the midpoint of the spine as the lomen hit the solid ground Saint Bruno drove his tusk into the backbone of the lomen 's neck. The neck opening snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the bodies out into the President George W. Bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were destitute, I heard a gasp and a articulation saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see lateen, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
The cleaning lady looked at me then at my invertebrate foot and said,"You are the savage"then she drew back
as the Cats entered and went to my side.
Lateen told me his narrative from the time the kinship group left thinking I was dead, all the way till now. Then the other people told me of their capture and that there twelve more than captive on the way.

We walked them to the Bramble logic gate and inside. I told them we would rescue the eternal rest of their kindred then they would make a choice. To either go back to their hound flat coat or to join our clan.

The side by side dayspring the next group of captive arrived there were 6 of them and 4 guard. Mondo could sense the queasiness of the lomen. It was obvious they were concerned not to find the low gear group waiting for them. I sent Bruno 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 Runt charge them from behind. Shad and Drago arose in front of them with spears at the set up. They thrust forward with their spears, Drago 's fishgig striking only the club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his society preparing to strike at Drago when Mondo and Bruno arrived. Never slowing down Giordano Bruno hit the loman in the pectus knocking him down and Mondo landed on the loman 's midsection as he sliced at the lomans throat with his knife. It was over as fast as it started, they walked back to the captive all free now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the group 2 women three teenager, a boy and 2 girls, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and half-pint with the freed captives to the bramble gate. He gave them didactics to rest in the washout near the hole under the fallen Tree and to hold Runt back boulder clay he signaled.

Just before the sun went down the last group arrived, they too seemed have-to doe with that the others were not waiting for them. Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either position of the track where it left the clearing. Bruno was in the crotch hair behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the passing to the clearing were blocked off. One of the lomen backed up near the hole where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell out blood, the former four guard were also unquiet. As the sentry duty heel came down on the edge of the maw … a fowl whistled, a lion roared and the guard disappeared down the fix. The boys had each grabbed a leg and yanked the guard into the hole. Before he could recover runt had removed his throat then leaped into the clarification and was now facing the other four Guards. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their tree diagram driving their fishgig into the chests of two of the safeguard. The conclusion two had no chance at all. They turned to run back and came face to face with Sondi and half-pint as they stopped Bruno hit them from the buttocks. Drago and Malo were cutting the prisoner free. This bunch consisted of 3 female 2males a small fry about 10 and a baby in the arms of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and lateen sail from Mondo 's plate clan.

After they had all the the great unwashed in to the cave Mondo and his Hunter really needed to run and set out at once. Ludi took the starter in hand and talked to them. By the time the hunters had returned with their kill it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the woman and the child had decided to go back to their Village. The woman with the child was just too weak to make the misstep and the lomen had killed her husband.
It was decided that Mondo, lateen sail, Bruno and Sondi would draw them back then they would extend on to Tondors Tribe.

Mondo 's kinship group furnished all the men with spears including the teenage boy this made them a force to be reckoned with. 9 spear up men and 2 Big African tea. I think they would relish meeting up with some lomen. The women were pulling the travois and each travois had at to the lowest degree 4 supernumerary gig on it. Three days into their trek they got their wish. Thanks to the khat they were ready, the women and children gathered in the center the men squatted around them with their spears angled out to protect the women.


The lomen charged out of the scrub screaming and waving their ball club. Mondo and Lateen stood and began throwing their spear with the woman handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the qat attacked from behind. The cat-o'-nine-tails forced the lomen onto the anchored fizgig and the Villagers stabbed with malice. They were angry and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 stagnant lomen and four wounded. No one planned to take prisoners, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken bones and one dead. It was obvious that the charwoman were proud of their men. One of the injured had a broken shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its club. One of the women picked up a shaft and stabbed the loman multiple times. The early charwoman jumped in and it was a Melee after that.

tierce weeks later we entered their Greenwich Village. Each travois was loaded with meat and fur, we had hunted on the way. We were met by the village chief and the medication man. After they conquered their fear of the cat we were welcomed with open arms. The hoi polloi we had returned to their small town equaled over a thirdly of the Village population and were wife 's and daughters and fathers and sons. They were very significant to the small town. They threw us a fete that night and we departed early the next morning.

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

lateen sail informed Mondo the cave was just over the raise. 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 Clan raised their paw to shade their oculus trying to key out the figure of speech before them. Lateen picked this time to step into the view. He hollered,"hi the inner circle"…. Tondar yelled it is lateen. Sonda began to run to gather her Dad but seeing one of the Big Cats stride forward caused her to contain. Grog walked out of the cave … Silence fell over the Camp as Mondo 's articulation 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 Brobdingnagian fist crashed into Grogs face. The bump knocked grog to the flat coat. Mondo systemically beat Grog senseless. No one tried to stop the butchery, Saint Bruno and Sondi were walking a round around the combatants. Grog tried to catch a spear to use against Mondo. But an enraged Mondo just brushed it aside and continued to exhaust his resister to a pulp. Mondo slowly began to block off the beating and backed off looking at the fat chunk of jelly at his feet. Mondo turned and looked at Tondar By my edict and the laws of the Clan ... I claim all Grogs Possessions an banish him from the Clan. Tondar smiled and asked,"What about your mother ?"
"My Mother is a free people Clanswoman."
Tondar stood and walked to Sharlu,"I claim you as my married person, do you agree ?"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 Lester Willis Young cleaning 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 apparent motion with his digit. When Sonda turned she found herself facing one of the Big Cats,"Sonda meet Sondi. We accept you."

Lateen began unloading the travois and putting meat on to fix. 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 sail was telling everyone of Momd 's kinship group and that there was no need to motivate camp twice a year and there was a medicinal drug woman and a skilful life.

So began the trek to the Bramble Gate.

Tondar spoke with Socar who had been Grog 's Hunter trainee. He asked him how he felt about the ostracism of Grog ... Socar says the only affair he hate about it is he did not get to do the trouncing himself. When they would go on a hunt, Grog would belittle him and hit him when he did not do as Grog said. Grog was a mean man. I now wish to acquire from Mondo.

As time went by on the trail the hunters hunted at their leisure. The nearer they came to their new family the more stimulate they became. Then the day came, before Mondo could take the Brambles logic gate there was an barrage of children and Runt. They gathered the other children and drug them inside to bear witness them everything. Mondo began doing the Sami with the adults. When they reached the other end of the cave they all stood silently staring at the beautiful valley. Our field hut were beginning to take the embodiment of permanent structures. There was no need for impermanent protection anymore.

Tondar wanted to know everything about the cattle, the center smoke, and especially about the Milk. They sat around a campfire and talk way into the night. One of the matter they discussed was leadership of the Clan. 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 youth to lead the tribe. As long as I am awake I will send word you as needed but You are now Chief."

Today we celebrate the joning of two kin into one kindred the"Clan of the CAT !"

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