Chapter 23 It was the first time they'd slept together in weeks and it felt good to be so close to him. She was even more certain now that it wasn't the name her parents had given her, but she felt it was a name that belonged to her, one that she would always cherish. There are still those in the south who think they will not have a full voice if they continue to tie themselves to the northern caves. Ayla was finishing up Summer Child's curry as the aroma of meat grilling on the cooking fire reached her. "I guess showing up out of the blue with a small wolf pup is unusual. Even now she could see frost on the pebbles near the brook as she washed herself in the cold water. "I am the change!" He would be at the center of it all. That is when the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworms appear, heralding the return of the smaller birds. After all, he planned to build his own herd someday and then she would help him. Ayla would be the interpreter for the Clan people, although Jonayla would be able to help with that too if necessary. "I see you," Jonayla giggled. Ayla wondered, as she led the others - breaking out of the trees at the base of the mountain and into the open of the flat valley - what life would bring in the future. Maybe in the future my family can attend your Summer Meeting; I think I would like that. 'I have to stop saying stupid things or I'll end up losing her affection,' he thought. "I can see so much more from up here too. They should try to use one, it would help their people if they knew how. Ayla wanted the Clan men to watch along Long Valley, a treeless valley that stretched for as far as the eye could see from sunrise to sunset. She couldn't see much of the interior of the cave and had to make her count of hearths by counting fires. I can't really understand why she would involve her people in someone else's problems," Camma said, really not able to understand the Zelandonii spiritual leader's motivation. Only the children would remain behind to serve the Doniers. "So, you continue to have hidden depths. They have few horses and although they could trade for more horses at the next Summer Meeting they wouldn't be able to bring enough trade goods on their backs as they would need to trade for horses.

As their conversation continued, Ayla would glance at him from time to time and Groog became aware that she was expressing a true liking for him, as if he were one of her family. She gestured toward Jondalar who was lying on a pallet beside an interior wall of the cave, deathly pale and at the moment, unable to move. Then she and her mother took the post to the shelter. as well as Things have gone wrong in that time, things that should have been attended to. No one would know of his discomfort, other than Groog and Dula, and of course the Other's Mog-ur if she stood closer. The two Others stopped and dismounted some distance away from Mageb. Leadership is an art, it isn't happenstance; it isn't luck that makes a great leader. "This could be the last time we attend a Zelandonii Summer Meeting. She had a feeling, a disquieting, disorienting feeling that somehow seemed vaguely familiar. Without looking back he urged his horse into a full gallop toward the river north of the cave. Ayla wished she could have stayed at the Summer Meeting as the story had been spread through the gathering. Camma understood what she meant and said no more. They stood with the other newly mated couples and talked in low tones among themselves, congratulating each other. Although Creb was able to suppress - through his superior control - that Ayla was an Other, the visions that were shared during that dream were such that he could not ignore her presence and identified her as, 'The Woman Who Hunts'. This cave was considered one of the entrances into Mother Earth, but even more importantly, it was where important matters of the Spirit World were dealt with by their spiritual leaders. Cambarre had returned to collect Star from his captivity under the shady tree. Ayla turned and looked into the other Donier's troubled eyes, "The Mother spoke to you, couldn't you tell?" The chamber ceiling disappeared into the darkness so far above them that it appeared to have no limit, almost as if The Great Earth Mother might be gazing down upon the proceedings. Cambarre came over to Jonayla who had been loading the horses' carry bags and asked, "So what do I do with this sharpened log?" Ayla wanted to jump up and run, this hideous beast must be the Shaman. It had been more than a full moon since the two hunters had seen them and their trail was cold. Hopefully by then Jondalar will have recovered enough so I am able to do my part to end this violence.". I guess when you think about it, why wouldn't they have good tasting food? What do you think? Lorala and her younger siblings now lived with her older sister Lanoga and her mate Lanidar who had a dwelling near her parent's hearth. They had tried to avoid our hunters at first but after a while when it was obvious that our people were going to hunt their people down, they began to lay ambushes and make raids on Third Place, eventually driving Skytalker's people away and forcing them to live in the forest. "What is happening? Yes, he'd been shocked, but he hadn't responded to her request. Ayla stood up and signaled firmly for quiet, telling them to take the horses to the far side of the campsite, adding the imperative so they knew it wasn't a casual request. Then suddenly the horses screamed and there was thunder in the sky and Wolf Star was at Armuna's throat, pulling her into the Spirit World screaming in pain, rage and fear, never to be seen again. She felt that her family should have away-time, just being on their own, and these experiences had helped their children grow more self-reliant and had nurtured a more mature attitude. What has changed?". It was truly special. Was this the first flaw in the person she 'almost' had come to believe in? I would be satisfied with our child's children though. While daylight prevailed, he would identify the layout of their campsite and try to formulate a rescue plan. That was a scary thought. There was no other explanation for his strange behavior. She had done what she could for the Clan, for the people who had rescued her as a child, for the people of Iza and Creb. The older brother decided he had enough and commanded the bowl to stop, but when it didn't, he realized that he couldn't remember the phrase his brother had used to stop it. He slipped from his horse's back and came over to stand by her, placing his hand casually on her thigh as she sat upon Summer Child. She smiled, putting an arm around his shoulders and hugging him close. "Where did you find that story?". "Of course not, so long as you name me as the child's close relative. In fact, let me also offer you a place to stay this winter. To display her power over wild animals might throw Mongar off his stride long enough to get him to allow her access to the medicine woman for a few moments. It was still amazing to see her in action, so confident as if every move was from long tradition, rather than having been learned on her own over the past few years. She had never heard of anything like that before. At first their mothers would call them back, but the children would sneak back to the Mog-ur's hearth to listen to Ayla's stories. 6. From tomorrow morning, for the next fifteen days each couple will live together, separate from other people. Fill the water bags at the stream," he instructed his son. "You set everything up? "It's your fault," he teased back as he emerged from their sleeping space. Willamar laughed happily. Ayla was unable to stop herself from a noisy confirmation of Jondalar's vigorous efforts as her body convulsed around his massive manhood, a part of him that had always been a perfect fit for her, something that Jondalar had always been grateful for. I was happy that I would be having a child. The hunters of the Others are our friends in this, none are to be harmed and they will not harm us.". I enjoy well told stories, especially ones I haven't heard before," Durcan replied. Let's head back and catch up with the others. She liked Cambarre and thought he would make a good mate for her daughter, but in reality, as is the case in most things, only time would tell. the woman storyteller rounded on Ralev as if she were truly mad at him. I will never understand these things, but I'm not surprised the wolf cub belongs to the First Zelandoni's daughter. You can tell a truly fantastic story," Jondalar said with conviction. Because my cave is close to the Ninth Cave I saw you from the beginning and saw your abilities. He was bare-chested, tanned and well-muscled and his light blond hair moved as if alive or from a breeze that wasn't apparent. This year, there were more people than ever staying behind for various reasons. There it was, a sad sight indeed. It was always startling to see her own reflection. Chapter 40. ", Cambarre smiled broadly then whispered back, "How many children do you want?". "I'll get a fire going and make an infusion of goatweed and comfrey for your wound and the boy's too," Jonayla said, rising to fetch some wood for a fire. Her hands had been tied to stakes driven into the ground and her tunic and leggings had been removed so that all she was left with was a loincloth and her attacker was working to remove that. Joharran hadn't waited for the trek north before dispatching hunters, including his son Jaradal to the north to mark out their campsite for them and the Lanzadonii so they wouldn't lose the site to another cave. "Tell everyone this wolf belongs to Jonayla, who is daughter to the First Zelandoni who serves the Great Earth Mother. But all we have is his word for it. The strong spirits that it contains will keep you and yours safe so long as you carry it. By late morning the main holding was visible. It looked like he was going hunting. The noise was loud and the sight was awe inspiring. The cave that our First Zelandoni comes from has around two hundred people in it and though it is the largest single cave, the Twenty-Ninth has as many people, although they are spread out into three smaller communities.". Maybe that was why she was so special and had so many talents for just one person. Brushing moist strands of hair from her forehead, carefully dripped the life-giving liquid between her mother's dry lips until it was all gone. If this unknown medicinal worked, she would use the same pattern of knots if she found more of it in the future. She took some of the plates that had piled up and went to the washing stream, cleaned them with sand and water, then brought them back and placed them on the sandstone block that was used to prepare food and that also held an assortment of eating and drinking utensils. He'd heard the story many times. Isn't that what Durcan and I have heard from the day we were born? Do you remember Melodene? She hoped that she was the First among her peers as her mother had been. I'm going to be happy to have children around our dwelling again! Then Cambarre watched through the open flap of their tent as Jonayla, taking an absorbent chamois to dry herself and nothing else, walked down to the water's edge and stepped in, stopping for a moment to hug herself at the coldness of the lake water. "I'm sorry to bother you Ayla," he said, "but I'm worried about Jonayla. I intend to travel to the north the day after tomorrow as already decided. I am grateful." And if you don't eat and pay attention to your health you won't be strong enough to endure all the arguing and bickering that will go on at the gathering. It was obvious to her that this fungus was a powerful substance that fought the fever caused by poisons in the body. ", When Madroman continued arguing, Ayla said sharply, "Silence! The runner had made it to the Zelandonii Summer Meeting with news about the conflict and Jondalar's wounding. I also named you, using your older brother's name sound because I knew your mother loved him and had to leave him behind because of circumstances beyond her control. ", "I understand your feelings son, but like I've said, I've seen Wolf do just that, time and time again. "I would be remiss if I did not mention that this candidate has brought important knowledge to our people. Jondalar was concerned about Ayla. He stood, watching the young man ride back the way he'd come. Finally she had realized that this was a unique condition that only her young colleague could experience to its fullest, so she encouraged the younger woman to continue the practice and share the dream images with her. She stood on her toes and kissed him on the lips. It has to do with the Spirit World and I think you will find it significant.". Then with a wail of grief she dropped to her knees to hug the great furry beast that had collapsed at her feet. -Brittney M. Sacred Mountain is a four-season property equipped to offer maximum comfort to all guests. He slowed his horse, waiting for her. "The fifth primary color is dark, sometimes called black," Ayla chanted. "Woman, every time you say something like that it makes my heart flutter with pride and gratefulness of my own. "Actually Ralev, I think the Zelandonii are much like the Mammoth Hunters. The Acolytes can search the surrounding area and if one of them finds something they can mark the place and call myself or the first Zelandoni from the south. Jonayla led Groog's horse, uncertain that he would be able to control the animal properly. Cambarre walked solemnly over to the hunt leader and held out his spearthrower and quiver of spears. The Mother was lonely. When she was done she licked her fingers appreciatively and said, "That was good, I think I outdid myself, especially on the cooked grains. She held up a freshly peeled carrot, then continued before her daughter could respond. All of the other Zelandonia well enough to travel from the entire region, were now gathered in one place. She stood there and watched as Star disappeared into the dark cave opening. He knew of men who shirked their duty to provide and he knew what people thought of them. We were so happy back then. His face was different than her cousin's mate too, heavier brows and a hawk nose that looked almost like a snout, and a slightly sloped forehead. He led our people here in ancient times and has come back from the Spirit World to help us reclaim our land from those animals you're trying to protect.". Several Chimu women hurried forward to relieve him of the welcome meat. In the books, Ayla invents face cream and sewing needles, tames a lion and finally marries a Cro-Magnon man. Do you know the story of Creb?" She hesitated, but then continued, "I guess that will only become more so, now that you lead the Zelandonia. 'Yes, there was much I can learn from this unusual woman,' she thought. After all, people do mature and I felt I owed it to the character to let her grow up, though I did try to remain faithful to her selfless attitude and honest personality. ", "A good name for a wolf," Ayla agreed. "How are your people recovering now?" Do you think I don't know what they think? ''I honestly don't know. "Tormaden said that they were coming back and he would give them Groog if they asked because he didn't know the truth of what was going on and didn't want trouble. The Doniers are there in the main camp and he is doing much better. Soon after Ayla's ceremonial recitation came to an end, the people began to line up at the tables to take their portions of food to join Blandar in his funeral feast. They were ritual gestures, repeated in essentially the same form for every funeral. Ramacol continued, "The First Zelandoni and her Acolyte have headed up to Hilltop Holding, the Nineteenth Cave, to check into the rumors of violence further north. I have invited the Zelandonia and Cave leaders who are close enough to travel here to attend a discussion about the troubles in the north.". The First Zelandoni eased her to the grass then pulling a wooden cup from her pouch she dipped it in the clear water from the stream and returned to sit cross-legged beside the southerner. Jonayla was suddenly fearful that she might be too late. She was about to scream the word "NO!" Let's not worry about anything right now, let's go look at Wolf's cave. I will make you comfortable, cook and clean and help wherever I can. "You can't imagine for one moment that any of us would fail to go with you. While I appreciate the offer please support one of these great causes instead (list rotates monthly):Coldest Night of the Year She would ask him what he knew about Zelandoni's daughter. With that in mind she pulled two aged Elk steaks from her carry bag. Ayla noticed that the Mog-ur was no longer looking at her as if she were some strange exotic being. In fact, his last fight before coming north with Willamar had been with his friend Artibon. I would ask you to share your knowledge with me in the future and not remain behind a veil of modesty. It won't help you to show your true feelings to the people you're about to meet. There have been ones from the Others who have lived with us in the past and she could be one of those. Jondalar drew himself out of the warmth of their shared furs, remembering the pleasures they had shared the night before. He's in the cave, planning the day's work." That is, until the Zelandonii and Chimu leaders decide what to do with you and Brukeval. Ayla, removed her sling from around her forehead and ran the leather thongs through her fingers. Jonayla was grateful that Chandalar and Doroban were experienced hunters. She assured the boy that his father would be in a kinder place, walking in the Spirit World with his ancestors. "'Go to your brother and ask him to help us. Brog reached out and gripped his arm, making Mongar look at his Mog-ur. Cambarre's abandoned spearthrower would weather over the winter and become part of the surrounding earth, and would be no more than a few rotting sticks by the next summer Cambarre and Jonayla had turned their mounts toward the Chimu once again. Thinking these sad thoughts, she looked down at the bundle loaded on the pole-drag. "Wolf Star, you say," Kimadar said, surprised. She looked down at the stones she still held in her hands and felt an excitement that she was unfamiliar with. It is only right and fitting that we drive them from yours." Ayla pulled a hide from a storage basket and laid it out over a log bench seat that doubled as a work bench when needed for the purpose. He'd thought it good, but to have such an emotional reaction by such an important leader and a woman he admired was the ultimate compliment. "I feel much better First Zelandoni," the boy said, looking at her wide-eyed. ", "But it is true, Ayla knew everything about Creb and she was trained as a Clan Medicine Woman by Creb's sibling Iza. But I don't think a wolverine or hyena could be tamed, it's not in their nature to coexist with people. As it turned out, it would end up being a three day trek. They will do whatever he tells them to do", A loud voice interrupted Melodene's story. After leaving the Clan the four rode south and were about to enter the thick strip of dense forest that lined Long Valley from east to west. They had known what a help Wolf had been to Jondalar and Zelandoni in their hunting and had heard about the stories where the animal had even saved their lives several times during their extensive travels. I wanted to convince you I wasn't, but I soon learned your only interest in me WAS that you thought I was a mixture. 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. Wolf! She wondered what the others would feel if they knew. What do you say?" She'll tell you that the cave lion as well as the horses and Wolf, only answered to her because they saw her as a friend. As Ralev's voice stilled, the flute and drum faded away. During this moment of the people's approval, Ayla let go the last vestiges of insecurity about her past and the Zelandonii reactions to it. She would have to face this Shaman and persevere. The other girls seemed frivolous compared to her. She knew the truth of it, but knowing the truth didn't make her feel confident in her ability to convince the other Doniers that she should serve her people as the First Zelandoni. You looked like you were off to hunt and I thought I would join you if you were um, going hunting that is." Jaradal, Joharran's son and the Ninth Cave's hunt leader would lead the hunts. She soaped her hands and began to run them over his chest and up around his neck and then down to his belly and into the water, making his body tense with sensations. At how helpless and useless she had felt. Groog had, over the past moon, fashioned a clan style spear. Ayla had known before at some level that the two had become a couple. You're familiar with the ceremony, aren't you?". He saw a woman he could love and wanted to mate with her. It had been too long since they had shared pleasurers. the man asked in a plaintive voice. Jonayla watched the tall redheaded leader walk to her own hearth. i love Reading Earths children books i already have the first 4 and i have ordered 5 and 6 so i am wait in anticipation for them to turn up,just Brilliant, Thank you . First Place is less than half the distance north of here and I can assure you of a welcome and the help you would need," Melodene of the Chimu said. ", Ayla signed in reply, "Not well Groog, I wish to ask for your assistance. He watched as the two people of the Others came toward him, he was relieved to see that they did not notice him. Mongar began to turn away, then stopped. She was new to riding, but felt safe with his arm around her waist, even safer when he held her tight. "Is the Zelandoni of First Wolf Cave here this morning? He would have to be careful around these people and not show his feelings. He would double back and he would make them pay for interfering. "Don't worry about meat for tonight. I need to properly care for him. The small pile of kindling had burned itself out. There were no Zelandoni who doubted this, they all knew what they had experienced was genuine and that no tricks had been portrayed. "And I'll be happy to call you a member of the family Cambarre," Ayla concluded. And when it is over she will make time to talk with you.". ', "The old man squinted his eyes at the young man, not sure what to make of him, but finally said, 'You should walk to the top of that crest,' the old man pointed to raised ground in the distance, 'where that tall dead tree stands you will find a cave in the hillside. It is the earliest time that widespread flowers of the warmer weather begin to show. ", "Yes," Dula signed and knelt beside the prostrate hunter. "Jonayla and your mother went down to the lake to bathe," Jondalar said. She spoke his name and that of the Chimudonii, so the others noticed that she was signing to him. It was simple compared to many, just a three sided square with the top left off and four diagonal lines slanting to the left, filling the open box. There was something of Creb in his look just then.
