That is if those Shaman followers hadn't already made them mad enough to kill on sight. 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. All of this extra responsibility that she had taken upon herself, to lead the Zelandonii here and to be the giver of Doni's gifts, to act as the intermediary to The Great Earth Mother, was maybe not as important as a family life. They laughed companionably and turned to the outfit laid out before them. "Good shot son!" I am surprised that there is more than one group of them out here. Ayla snuggled up to Jondalar's back and hugged him to her. Ayla and Jondalar set out on horseback across the windswept grasslands of Ice Age Europe. Cambarre walked solemnly over to the hunt leader and held out his spearthrower and quiver of spears. Brukeval trembled with anger. She thought for a moment about Groog, what would she have done if Groog had attacked and raped her when she had been only eleven summers old? Horses are sensitive to the feelings of humans and if they sense that you are excited or nervous, they will feel the same. "They could be miles away by now. And the Zelandoni of the White Cave is sure that this is so. ", At that moment Jondalar and Durcan walked into camp and dumped a big load of kindling and broken branches beside the fire circle that Ayla had laid out. The new First Zelandoni suggested that she travel north before returning to her home cave to see for herself what the situation was and to report back to the other Zelandonia and their Cave Leaders using runners. Well, it will have to be me, because the only man who can speak enough Clan to be understood would be Jondalar and he isn't well enough to travel yet. Folrian had no change of clothes. She especially loved her adoptive family; Iza, Creb, and Uba, and the others that had helped her survive those first years. Do you think this will be agreeable to your leader?". Willamar wasn't worried that he would do anything stupid like cross the river to go looking for his family. I immediately thought that a spark like that could start a fire. It all felt right to her and she felt better because of what had been communicated here between her elders. I think your sixty summers of experience are just what I need now." We could kill some of those for them. 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. "How could their punishment be more severe than cursing them with death? The people she needed to discuss ideas with privately were generally her family and close friends and most of them had learned at least some of the sign language. He was proud of Ayla and her accomplishments, and it always made him feel lucky to be her mate when other men looked at her with such admiration. "Daughter, I wanted to give you a gift that you might enjoy as much as I did once. "How many children do you want to have Jonayla? ", Jonayla closed her eyes and snuggled close to her strong young lover. There's no harm in that. That was why Mageb was first to see the others coming. "Hopefully some of the changes are to your liking" Cambarre gave Jonayla an impish grin then pulled her tightly to his side as they walked toward their lodge. When she was instructed to pull him from under his arms, she shivered for a moment; he looked very dangerous. Ayla's gaze took in the white gleaming mountains in the west that soared forever and ever in the distance. They will punish them more severely than we would, or so I am told.". She had stopped far enough away so if they were not used to horses they wouldn't feel threatened. Since the Mother had made the choice obvious to all the Zelandonia as to who should be First among them, they all packed up and left. The Chimudonii hunters grumbled as they picked up their equipment and straggled down the path, past the Zelandonii group who still held their weapons ready. The southerner sat down beside the hearth on a hide cushion and cuddled the little animal. After all, we were the ones who convinced our people to get involved in the first place." He watched as the two people of the Others came toward him, he was relieved to see that they did not notice him. I understand you can't be sure exactly when she will, but do you have any idea at all?". She rode directly at those sounds and urged her nervous horse around an outcropping of rock with bushes and scrubby little trees growing between cracks in the stone. He looked up into the brilliant blue eyes of the girl of the Others. This is the end of winter." Brukeval nodded his head indicating Melodene. There were a few awkward sentences and story line errors but it didn't take away from the entertainment value, at least not for me. It seems this deceitful trickster has ended up among the Chimu. If I could only have read the future I would have had a matrimonial tunic made, but this should do," Cambarre replied, holding the tunic up. This is the Mother's Law of Hospitality. After trying several false trails, father and son gave up and retraced their path, riding back to Reflection Rock then up the slope to the ridge trail. Her tears could no longer be held back, but she smiled through them, and standing on her tiptoes she reached up and pulled his lips to hers, giving him a kiss as an expression of her feelings toward him. Wasn't there more to life than serving the community? I don't think I could even if I wanted to. This late in the Summer Meeting there were only a few craftsmen still displaying their items for trade. "What I know is that the Clan is different than the Zelandonii, in that they can't change their way of thinking. "No wait! Secretly, Brukeval would always remember the very first time he'd met Ayla. Ayla's heart increased its pace at her man's unmistakable signal, she had wondered in the back of her mind when they might pick up their lives as they had been before Jondalar had been wounded. The noise was loud and the sight was awe inspiring. "What is it about men? Now that the Lanzadonii were going to attend the Summer Meeting, Jonayla assured her mother that she and Cambarre would come north for a few days to visit. "Isn't this fun mother? As they traveled that day, Jonayla and Cambarre had each killed a rabbit that they roasted for their evening meal. "Durc, we'll ride a little way farther to see if there is a way around, but if not, we'll have to turn back and go to the west then travel along the ridge route to get around the fall." I'm almost as good as new Ayla, thanks to your care. To pair up with someone like Madroman was beneath you," Ayla said with feeling. The Donier from Elder Hearth and fellow candidate asked in a loud voice for all to hear, "Donier of the Ninth, can you give us some idea when the Mother will speak? "You've never even mentioned my mother before.". I think I still do in some way. "Only once, just after the Mother spoke and the earth shook. It was hard to imagine a Clan man raping her mother. Groog was propped up on his sleeping furs looking into the fire that burned in the hearth, the flames reflecting in his large dark-brown eyes. Normally the dead would be buried with some mementoes or prized belongings but that was impossible under these circumstances so Groog felt the flowers were appropriate. As second to the leader of their Clan, Mageb knew they only had a short time in this place before they were discovered. Then I'll feed a little bit of it to him through a willow straw.". Still unwilling to earn his place, he resorts to illusion and through Brukeval, intimidation.". Are there any young men that you have interest in?" ", Rubio had been listening to the Donier's voice, it sounded so strange, so unlike what he was used to. "It's a wounded wolf pup daughter. It seemed that more and more, the dreams came to her without any help from the Absinthe tea. She had always been drawn to him, even when they only seemed to bump heads. "They're doing fine and apparently they've had some adventures. Even though Blandar knew traveling in groups would be safer and that lions shy away from larger groups, he hadn't wanted to wait until others were ready to leave and that decision had cost him his life. They care for their young and worship the spirits. "You'll see," she repeated in a self-satisfied tone. How old are you now Zelandoni? Now after many years of experience around children and keeping them interested and entertained, she had become an accomplished story teller. Then with a wail of grief she dropped to her knees to hug the great furry beast that had collapsed at her feet. This is a man, not an animal. The First Zelandoni should have been the one to investigate the trouble and to work out a solution, but as she had become weaker, the journey was put off; full moon after full moon had passed. And I ask again, what are you doing in this place?" "The hunters couldn't understand what they said to each other because their hand signs were moving too fast for them to follow what passed between them. I wish to speak to her about Creb. "I'll think about what to say to him," Jonayla said, pausing for a moment to think. It depicts the life of the main character, a girl named Ayla. When it came to guiding a First Zelandoni's spirit to the Spirit World and choosing a new First, the runners were especially important. As she pulled aside the hanging hide at the entrance to the lodge and stepped out into the opalescent peace of early morning, a shiver of excitement ran through her body. ", "I understand your concern Zelandoni. There was blood oozing through a rough bandage wrapped about her mother's shoulder and Jonayla was instantly concerned for her, but Ayla waved her concern away and asked her to start a fire and boil water. ", "No they wouldn't!" He had his spearthrower strapped in front of the carry basket on his horse's flank within easy reach and a quiver of bird spears. We heard from the Losadunai that the Zelandonii Summer Meeting would be in this place this year and hoped we would be welcomed.". It leaves us to imagine for ourselves which paths their lives . "During this, our first meeting, it is the right and responsibility of each candidate to speak their mind. They came together then, daughter hugging mother desperately. What was going on here? It suddenly came to the boy that important decisions and ceremonies would take place here that would affect all of them. It turned out the vote was split and those who Ayla expected support from gave it and those she doubted would, withheld their support. He wished he was a better person and that they had never had those rifts. They were alone one day and were at the age where - in the old days - they would have been old enough for the opening ceremony with a man, but since those ceremonies had stopped, and with the belief that a man's essence mixing with a woman's, created babies Young women now had to think about such things and it was hard not to be tempted by young men. "Why are we stopping here?". I have actually heard the Mother speak through her directly to us. She would never have asked to name the cave after her good and noble friend, but to have this Zelandoni suggest it - the one person that the other Doniers would listen to because of his calling to the cave and to even suggest the term 'First' in the name of the cave, was such a powerful sign from the Mother. The young man looked at Jondalar and said, "I am a very happy man. As the general meeting broke up Ayla asked all the Zelandoni to stay behind and asked them to give her their impressions of the discussion. "I will want to discuss what you've seen and heard before too long. You know it will soon be two years since you became an Acolyte. "We have learned a hard lesson, but with the Zelandonii's help we will come through this and be stronger for it, and, I might add, a less gullible people in the future.". That was hard to believe. You said that 'Ayla' who is Mog-ur knew 'Creb' who was Mog-ur? What more did he have to do? Jondalar turned toward the leader of Old Valley, "Ramacol, do you think you could spare some travel food so we won't have to stop along the way to hunt? ", "Very well mother, I'll stay with him and talk with him. The grave goods were arranged around him. Jonayla heard the thumping noise of the deer bounding ahead and was about to follow when an apparition rose up beside her and she suddenly felt intense pain as something hard came into contact with the side of her head. Ayla made eye contact with each couple, smiling and nodding to each. "Ayla," Jondalar said, "you better explain to that man what you're doing. Groog wanted to talk to her. Ayla smiled broadly, "You are to leave the Summer Meeting at dawn tomorrow, so don't celebrate too much tonight.". But she wasn't going to apologize for her life either. "I talked to Melodene about her time with the outlaw group and her meeting with your people, so I know that she told you about why we left the sea coast. For the hundredth time he wondered what that flathead loving interfering woman was telling the Chimu. People want explanations for things that sometimes have no explanation. It's been too long since we were all together and away from the distractions that seem to take so much of your time as Zelandoni." Leadership is an art, it isn't happenstance; it isn't luck that makes a great leader. 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.". Where are you hurt?" Ayla was a bit distressed at the thought of leaving so soon after her Mamutoi friends had arrived so unexpectedly. I can't think of anyone better connected than the First Zelandoni to speak to the Mother on our behalf. "Um, I-I just think that we should have been told this significant part of our First Zelandoni's history, that's all. This precaution had always been enough to ward off at least human intruders if not wild animals. She laid out her reasons again for a journey to the north. That was thoughtful of you. Now that the decisions were made by the leaders and everyone had gone to prepare for departure, Ayla signed to Groog and Mog-ur to follow her to the nearby stream, where it was quieter so they would be able to communicate without interruption. Brukeval said in a menacing voice. Only the people of our cave remain here.". He'd been instructed to cause fear and confusion by ambushing a few people walking alone close to the Chimu community. Bagba would die and someone would have to care for his aging mate. It took all his self-restraint not to jump up and attack the man. The Zelandoni's sacred site was at Old Valley and that was where Jondalar expected to find Ayla, Jonayla and Wolf. ", Jondalar opened his eyes wide, "What? I need to talk to him. "Very well," the Donier agreed. After a moment they threw down their weapons and stepped out onto the trail. Doni, The Great Earth Mother, She who's mate and lover is Lumi, who shines down upon us this night in witness with Her. His friends now think of him as special rather than the son of a woman who had birthed an abomination. She seemed a bit shaky, and who wouldn't be? Ayla could almost feel the tension in the hunters as they gathered for the kill. He threw a large fish at his younger brother. Robinar nodded, "Yes, mother told me. Standing naked in the stream he began to sluice water over his head. As Groog moved between Brukeval and the female Mog-ur's horse, he heard a 'thunk' and then a second 'thunk' and the loud angry man dropped like a rock, falling face first to the ground. "Yes, I'm curious to see what has been done too." Jonayla could see the worry in the Clan man's face and she felt a momentary sympathy for him, but then the thought came to her that if he hadn't been here, she wouldn't have to be sitting here with him right now. "Yes Camma, leader of the Chimu people. 'Tell me please. But that didn't help because they followed us and attacked us again and again. And the fact is I can't have you" He looked up at the sound as several people broke into the open not far from them. "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. That reason alone should be enough to make you our new First Zelandoni. "She was brutally forced by a Clan man when she was just a child, but being who she is, she never held it against her child. They were in awe of her and her reputation. She will tell you more. Just as he realized that they might actually be the man and woman their leader had ordered them to seek out, the woman stopped and stared directly at him. He seems determined to take revenge from Ayla and expel her from the Clan. Ayla knew they would not be overheard from this distance. Our First Zelandoni lost her parents in an earthquake when she was a small child of no more than five summers and was forced to wander on her own. Apparently Ralev's storytelling had resonated with the Zelandonii so her Clan past wasn't such an abomination to them as it might have been when she had first come to the Ninth Cave. Whinney now walked the Spirit World with Racer, her first and only son. Brukeval is full of hate. "It didn't go as easily as Skytalker thought it would, especially when the flatheads started to really fight back. Ayla dismounted and a young boy led Summer Child behind Ayla as the trio began to walk. For a few minutes there was joyous hugging and kissing as parents gathered their sun-browned, young son into their arms and voiced their joy at finding him there. The others stood at the edge of the glade, not quite sure what they should do. ", "That's perfect Rubio," Ayla smiled. Some say charcoal black is really the darkest shade of old red. "I have a lot on my mind just now Jonayla," Ayla said, to change the subject. Everyone stood silent and listened, even the Chimu who were standing some distance away were entranced by the beauty of the song. He noticed tiny little lines at the edge of her eyes, laugh lines, he thought. I will not stop until these Hyenas have been stopped!". Since age 12 I have loved historical Fiction pre war of the states (aka civil war). She'd fallen ill and remained in the Zelandoni Lodge so this was the first opportunity to catch up with the doings of her home cave. "Yes, probably. He is a friend of Matagan. Of course, Denanna was the first to challenge her, "First Zelandoni, we all know how you feel about these Clan people of yours, but why should we believe this man? ", "Yes, but the loss of Wolf will be a real blow to her. I wish I could have seen that.". Ayla hadn't heard that name in almost ten summers. If that's what you want, we'll stay outside," Jonayla replied, surprised at the intensity of the older man's voice. "I'm glad I will be staying with you this winter. She had wondered for a long time what had happened to the man. She also knew he would love their daughter just as much as she would love their son. "Why have you stopped?" She ordered one of the women who had been tending the men on the ground to prepare resting places in the cave proper. Jondalar drew himself out of the warmth of their shared furs, remembering the pleasures they had shared the night before. Domesticity wasn't something she was used to when it came to her fellow spiritual leaders; although since the First Zelandoni's passing the Doniers had been quite subdued and had tried to be helpful to each other. I agree that we should. Cambarre asked. He meant everything to her. Cambarre! Having said her piece, the southerner sat back down beside her fellow Zelandoni. She organizes all feasts and special meetings. "I saw you looking at Marilla last night and it, well it occurred to me that you might be unhappy about my past relationship with her." They took their things and walked along the river's edge, hand in hand, until they came to another little tributary that had been dammed up by a community of beavers. If we had more people who could kill the rest of the herd after we take the young away, that would be one thing, but to kill them with their young close by would not be a good way to start their taming," Jonayla said in a soft voice. It was the Donier they had all seen and knew about, the blonde woman who had brought the understanding and control of horses to the people, the one who commanded a wolf to do her bidding. Every smell, every sound, every movement was noted and retained, her concentration was perfect, like nothing she'd ever experienced before. Ayla loosened the straps of the pole-drag to free her horse from its weight. Support; something I will need now more than ever. By the time he was done speaking to the gathering, he felt better about himself, after all, he had accomplished things, even if he couldn't call animals and offer great gifts to the people. She looked again at her daughter and suddenly realized they must be sharing pleasures together by now. Ayla nodded, asking Jondalar to encourage him to continue. All they want from us is to capture any fugitives that may come our way. He held his spear up. "The Chimudonii had just left when Zelandoni happened to reach our cave. he asked. She wanted to communicate with him, to find out more about him and his Clan, but she knew that she would have to be careful, and to move slowly. Groog squinted, looking down the trail concentrating on a movement. Ayla looked at the man and signed, "I will be talking with our leaders soon and we will do something about this. Ayla walked back to the lodge with her daughter and the pups. "They're going to remain mated, if that's what you're asking," he replied sardonically. "Are the preparations made for his burial? It was hard to believe that the First before her, who had once worn this ornament, was really gone. "After the Mother speaks, will you be First Zelandoni mother?" Only a few years ago, no one would have imagined that a person could hold a wolf of any kind in their arms, much less make it a friend. You decide. "Maybe Cambarre will come with me to find those Ptarmigan nests and we can also get the pelt for you. As dawn's light crept over the top of the far hills to shed its pearlescent light over the Zelandonii campsite, Ayla and Jondalar were already packed and ready to go. This thought caused tears to well up even more, blurring Ayla's vision as her fingers did their work, cutting the remaining clothing away to bare his muscled chest and strong arms. While you do the cooking, I'll unload the horses and hobble them by the brook so they can graze and easily reach the water. Finally, Brukeval walked back to the campfire and now all Cambarre could hear were murmurs as the men talked amongst themselves.. Cambarre watched Brukeval closely after that. "Then we will hear from the Zelandoni from Elder Hearth. Jonayla had come upon the sad scene after the violence had taken place and had been more composed than either her mother or Cambarre. If he could kill her, maybe his Mog-ur would be able to deal with her spirit. She had been surprised when she had received runners from all the close caves that their Doniers wanted to join her. All of the children wore the same garb. What with Durcan's contribution, both women's vegetable finds, and Willamar and Melodene's blueberries, they feasted to their heart's content that night. It appears that they both ended up here. Lorala pulled away from Jonayla and quietly walked away. she asked. We Zelandonia can be a bit skeptical about others, knowing more about illusion and subterfuge than most people, but this spiritual leader is unique in my experience. "The reason I have put myself forward for the burden of First Zelandoni, is that I know exactly what it takes to hold a people together in good and not so good times. It is an honor to speak your name in friendship," Ayla replied, using the correct formula for such an occasion. The novel series written Jean M. Auel, Earths Children consists of a total of six different novels published from 1980 to 2011. But did it really matter? They lined up according to their understood, but seldom displayed status. Ayla rose from her cross-legged position and stood with dignity, saying, "Denanna and everyone else who is here," she looked around at the people, some of them friends and some of them not. "You'll find the story of how Jonayla's mother found her own wolf cub quite a tale too." Of course Cambarre knew that she was able to talk sign language to them. She quickly noticed what the people were looking at and without a word mounted Summer Child and rode out to meet them. Why don't you come to our lodge tonight, after the ceremony is over and celebrate Jonayla and Cambarre's mating with us? "It is something very special when two people feel as one, to have a closeness that gives security and gladness. Dula decided that she would have to watch carefully to judge just what level of knowledge this foreign woman of the Others had. As the success of her first novel kept rising, Jean continued to travel to a number of prehistoric sites and met the experts for gaining in-depth knowledge. "I'm glad you like him. Jonayla had only walked a few paces beyond the Zelandoni lodge before hearing her name called. As Melodene watched Joharran walk forward she had tears in her eyes. They bathed in the pool, washing the dirt and sweat of the day before from their bodies. Ayla pulled him to a standing position using a tug on his neck rope. It was obvious that there was an undercurrent of tension.
