"You're right of course," Ayla said. Taking her hand in his he led her out of the cave and around to the side where the path wound upward to the place where the rock pinnacle jutted out from the earth. Finally Ayla stood, and Jondalar also stood, taking his place just behind her and to one side. Then we will come back with more men and look for this Shaman," Ayla said, looking into the crazy eyes of the Chimu man. Groog then realized; he hadn't found the leader, the leader had found him. To her chagrin, she realized that she hadn't noticed that before. And this woman at his side, she spoke the sacred form of the Clan language flawlessly. Both children understood a great deal of the Clan language. No matter how long she might have been away from the Clan, she would always be grateful to them. So Joharran did know words that were used to signal when silence was necessary and some phrases. I did some research in my Encyclopedia Britannica, went to the library and discovered there really was a time when we shared Ice Age Europe with the Neanderthals. I think he just needed someone to be close to and I was willing.". He will think of me as his pack leader and you and the others as members of his pack," Ayla said as she handed the wolf pup to her friend. Riding along the trail without a care, enjoying their shared solitude, time just seemed to melt away. Many of the people had moved away from the ceremonial site, toward the feast of their choice. That's when my mate was killed. So when you make your decision where to stay, keep us in mind. That's when she came up with the idea of steaming the creases out and then hanging it in a shroud over there," Ayla pointed to Joharran and Proleva's sleeping area. She laid out her reasons again for a journey to the north. Just bring a serving of meat and stew for each Donier and a cup of tea. Adding to the warning, he roared loudly, imitating the sound of a cave lion. "Good morning Jonayla, daughter of my heart." Shura stepped back in momentary fear when a large, long-lasting spark jumped from the woman's hands into the pile of willow fuzz and ignited with a flare and when she leaned forward and blew on it, a flame bloomed into life. She aimed the fire-hardened point toward the sky, anticipating the huge beast would leap forward to take her life. The Donier of the Third Cave again turned to Ayla, "No matter what happens, I think you should be the one to mediate between the Clan and the affected caves in the north," having said that, the Third suggested that they turn in for the night. But the fact that the Others used his language when hunting was a complement as far as the Mog-ur was concerned. Tormaden and several hunters stood by with their spearthrowers still ready. Ayla quickly poured out a portion of the hot water into a stiff hide mixing bowl and measured out proper portions of the medicinal herbs and honey into the water. These people have come from the south to stop those who would kill Clan people.". Without further discussion Ayla stooped to the fire and picked up some of the dark ash that surrounded the fireplace and stood in front of the Clan man and slowly began to mark her face with the ash. Suddenly as he topped a low hill, he saw the smoke from his home cave and his heart lifted in joy at the thought of seeing his friends and family again. On the spur of the moment she felt like a swim. "Yes," Ayla replied, grateful the Mother had spared Jondalar's life. It always made him want to do all he could not to disappoint her. They walked past the Ceremonial opening to the Sacred Cave - the place that held Revelation Chamber deep inside its precincts. "I wish we knew where that Clan Medicine Woman found that fungus. As the two entered the camp Jonayla said slyly, "Well, we finally made it back did we? "Yes, you're right Jondalar. Dula then opened her own medicine bag and pulled out a soft deer hide pouch containing the fungus and handed it to Ayla. "No wait! The Acolytes would do much of the preparation for the early evening ceremony. "We're doing fine. She wasn't as meticulous as her mother about washing after sharing pleasures, but she had her mother's sense of cleanliness. She could tell instantly that the man had received a serious blow to the head, there was a large red swelling on the right temple and he was unconscious. Ayla knew that picking their way through the trees would curtail any further conversation so she halted the little group. "I know what you mean Melodene. "Who are you?" Jonayla would set up the gear while her mother built a fire and cooked the food. The small wolf pup followed them closely and ran in circles of delighted energy. The clearing was maybe thirty horse lengths long by half that wide. She was then taken to the leader's hearth because no other hunter wanted her. ", "I know what you mean Ayla, neither do I. "Yes, alright. My son is ALIVE! But I don't think a wolverine or hyena could be tamed, it's not in their nature to coexist with people. Turn your PDF publications into a flip-book with our unique Google optimized e-Paper software. Some of the designs were totally foreign to the Zelandonii, but she was sure her daughter would appreciate them because of their uniqueness. "I can see this becoming a tradition. Folrian gave him an exasperated look then rose to her feet and left, unnoticed by the men caught up in their discussion. What do you say? Even if they never ride a horse, using a spearthrower would mean they wouldn't have to stand in the path of a charging beast ten times their size." They needed to stop for a rest. As the early morning light glowed on the horizon, Ayla and her daughter were busy breaking camp and loading the carry baskets in preparation for the day's trek. Blandar had been an accomplished Knapper, one who was known for his fine axe blades and spearthrower points. "Greetings travelers," she said in Zelandonii, making the universal sign of welcome and friendship with her hands. Groog jerked awake. Now it would normally hold hides for tents, grains and dried meats so they could be stored safely away from foraging animals. "I am Mog-ur who is first among the spiritual leaders of those you call the Others," she signed. Both Jonayla and Durcan said in unison. "My son Durc was just telling me that you and your storytellers have been telling a lot of stories about our journey from the east.". A soft glow was still present from the newly banked fires. He already looked younger and certainly was acting more interested in life than only a few days ago. Looking at her daughter who had followed them, "Jonayla, you will need to stay here and care for your father. That was a long time ago, and they have been faithful to each other ever since. Maybe that was why she was so special and had so many talents for just one person. Besides talking to people they only saw during the summer, the trading area had the added attraction of displaying different types of hunting weapons, utensils and jewelry produced by other caves. Most of the Zelandoni spiritual leaders had stopped by the Ninth Cave's campfire earlier that night, bidding farewell to their First Zelandoni, including the first Donier from the southern caves. "It was fun to see her forget to act dignified for once. They would never forget this summer. Jondalar lifted a woven cloth covering to show a pure white tunic with snow white ermine tails with black tips sewn in a vee-shape from both shoulders. Now that there was enough to eat, he asked for new clothing to wear. "I am more grateful to you than I can ever express. The water made all her other concerns drift away and let her grapple with the feelings she needed to deal with. And a new dwelling too,' he said, looking around at everything in amazement. 'Let nature take its course, it worked out for me, it will work out for my daughter.' I'm grateful that you made this image and I'm grateful that you insisted that we name the cave, 'The First Wolf Cave'. She talks about things that mothers talk about, not Zelandonia things. Then the Mother and Her lover Lumi turned away and rode into a sudden mist that took them from this world to that of the Spirit World, right before the staring eyes of the S'Armunai. How many of his men would stay if that happened? It would be wonderful to spend time together alone, like we did last night. When no one seemed inclined to add anything more, she said, "I believe it is a good idea to invite all of the Chimu to next year's Summer Meeting. She knew they could communicate over vast areas, but her Clan had been nearly a year's travel away by horse. These simple looking stones were status and important status at that. When we get back to the Summer Meeting, please become my mate. I know not what they mean but will see what they do when the time comes and explain it to you. They have the same problems that you have and they have the same fears and insecurities as you, so keep in mind how you would feel when you say things that may be hurtful to others.". Ayla still felt drained, but she also felt stronger than the day before. The man was about to argue further when five of the hunters with her walked their horses forward, towering over him. Jonayla had grown up with her mother telling her that to be clean was healthy for the body, a ritual worth doing that kept her fit. She was also determined to meet with the northern Zelandonia more often. Chapter 10 I promise. "Ralev, I appreciate your effort to smooth over the issue about my Clan son Durc. What did you think of her when you first met her?" "All of the S'Armunai stood still in awe at having such powerful spirits in their midst, but fearful of what would happen next. For the final leg of the journey, Jonayla was riding herd on her horses with help from Lorala. "Yes, he was important to you Jondalar, that's why he will remain alive in your memory, even now that he has gone," Ayla kissed Jondalar on the cheek as they entered their home encampment with Ralev and his group of storytellers. Rubio immediately turned on his heel and began to race to his father and the elders. "Who are you, why have you come here? Duroban finished with, "And I thought it wise to bring them through our observation points myself so they would be able to get their wounded cared for as soon as possible.". She also knew that now that she had touched it Mog-ur couldn't take it back even if he wanted to. They made their way along the edge of a narrow valley that ran between the densely forested areas to the south and the hills to the north. I'll take him to my dwelling. Come." "Yes, the stream sends water into the pool, but none comes out.". Hopefully by then Jondalar will have recovered enough so I am able to do my part to end this violence.". You'll never see their like again and their trade value is ten times the worth of everything I have offered you so far.'. He slowed his horse, waiting for her. "I cannot argue with the logic of your vision. I'll never forget when I had no one and it's just comforting to know there will soon be three generations in our family. If you would make the other Zelandoni aware of the meeting upon your return, I would appreciate it. "Not all of the Zelandonii are flathead lovers like you and her," he said gesturing toward Jonayla. The boy's mother, Eyzinah, rode mounted in front of Cambarre. The name Skytalker has been part of our legends for generations, ever since the first big wave long ago. Groog's age was three gatherings, which meant that he was born shortly after a Clan Gathering and he had attended two others. She had wanted him to touch her and to kiss her, she had really wanted that. It's just that I'm a little shaky from all that's happened," Ayla mumbled distractedly. There was something of Creb in his look just then. "No, that would be alright. He tensed with anxiety that she knew Clan ways, but still expressed a bold male presence that was so unsettling that deep down inside he felt a foreboding that could almost be defined as fear. Jonayla was already calculating what she would need to prepare for that journey and looking forward to showing off her little one to the friends she would not have seen over the winter. Everyone agreed with this plan and discussions turned to the upcoming Summer Meeting. We all saw it. For the first time in years I feel that something will actually be done to stop the violence in the north and bring peace to that area before it reaches further south. 'Stupid again,' Cambarre thought. Ayla was finishing up Summer Child's curry as the aroma of meat grilling on the cooking fire reached her. So you see, it seemed at first that a Great Spirit had returned to us." Where, I didn't see him?". "What is it about men? He'd already known that she could use weapons, but now in just a few words she had proven she could also recognize signs that only a hunter would. She thought about her companions, they would come through the other side of this rough terrain and wonder where she was. But now big things were happening. He walked around the large hearth stones that designated the fire pit. ", The woman looked at Ayla with red rimmed eyes and wailed, "Robinar tried to save his father. Auel attended University of Portland. "I was eventually forced out of the Clan by the same man who had attacked me. She didn't know what to say. There'll be Zelandonii who won't accept you now. Apparently, that woman they captured has been telling them everything she knows about us.". He could tell it was her recipe from the peppery fragrance. He is a man who has always kept the traditions of the Clan. There was general agreement and it was decided to do just that. They were talking about the Chimu and the horse hunt. The first two were apparitions of The Earth Mother and Lumi, Her lover. Then she pounded it in to a pulp, mixing it with the hot marigold-petal solution left over from making the poultice and drizzled it directly onto the open wound, then packed the herb poultice into it. She spent extra time on these panels, making sure they were just right. Watching the herd until the last one was out of sight; Jonayla finally reined Gray around and began the ride back to First Place. Ralev's troupe of story tellers were joining in now to make the story that much more real to the listeners. Someone among them would ask a question and Jonayla would sign to Groog what was said. "Let's just talk for a bit and then eat and then well then we can make an early night of it so we'll be fresh in the morning. Following the Chimu woman's instructions they forded a small stream and reined their horses to the east, following its bank. We should be able to hold the Summer Meeting in the south by the next year. The Donier hushed Tormaden with a simple 'Yes, yes', then spoke to the First Zelandoni, "I'm glad to see that you were chosen to lead us," he said, genuinely happy to see her. It was a female voice. "What do you mean Joharran? These are clashes between two communities, not just a few people, but potentially hundreds of people, men, women and children. Zelandoni!" Now Cambarre was surprised. After all, many of my best stories are about the star-crossed travelers, Ayla and Jondalar. Sacred Mountain Julian is a quintessestial mountaintop venue with breathtaking views. The falls in the distance created a soothing atmosphere. "We're eliminating flatheads so we can settle the north unhindered. It was late afternoon before Jonayla was able to convince her mother it was time to stop. She set the small animal in the little pen that Cambarre had built to house him and began to clear away the utensils. "Zelandoni! Ayla's instructions had been given more so those around her daughter wouldn't interfere with her efforts than for any actual need to instruct. He couldn't be sure, but he knew as dusk fell that if it was a bonfire beacon on the other side of the valley, he would be able to see the flame as the sky grew darker. It took us two days longer than we planned to get here because of the rock fall and we're running short on provisions. She was continually surprised by this new leader of theirs. The curiosity all around them made the young couple move that much faster and soon they were on the trail heading north riding their two horses and leading a pack horse. Willamar watched Marthona's grandson gallop away. "I suggest that we agree to hold future Summer Meetings no farther north than the Twenty-Ninth Cave and no further south than the First Cave of the southern Zelandonii.

"But I want to make you understand that these men who follow Skytalker aren't what the Chimu are really like. "Ayla," Jondalar said, "you better explain to that man what you're doing. Joharran, nodded and without saying a word, turned his horse to face the path then gave a nod to Cambarre. The hide door drape dropped closed and Ayla was gone. "Wonderful, we're all grateful to you. I certainly wasn't thinking about her. Jonayla was done working on the still unconscious hunter by the time more hunters and their women arrived. He hadn't wanted to stay behind at the Summer Meeting in the first place and had finally talked Proleva into allowing Willamar to bring him north to the Nineteenth Cave so he could be reunited with his family as soon as they crossed the river back into Zelandonii lands. That fall, Jonayla and Cambarre with some of the others who had horses there had built several more corrals, enlarging the holding area. "What are you doing in this place?" Then setting the bowl aside to cool, she turned to the wound. She looked again at her daughter and suddenly realized they must be sharing pleasures together by now. "It grieves me to think that Wymez no longer walks the earth, he was a true artist, one that I learned so much from," Jondalar replied sadly as the group began to walk toward the Ninth Cave's encampment. "No, I think not. Cambarre was the first to pull his tunic off and hang it up. I try to get them right.''. Ayla remained silent, watching the other Zelandonia and the leaders as they interacted with Groog through her daughter. Ayla had been surprised at how her son had grown over the time she'd been away. There was still Marilla waiting for him at Gather Field. Shaking the residue mud from her fingers then wiping them on her hips. "Alright, Durcan it is. I wonder if that makes him different from other Clan people, being a mixture of us and Clan?" The people watched and were trembling at the horrible sight. Mageb expected to kill only two or three Auroch in the short time they had here.
