"I will want to discuss what you've seen and heard before too long. But if she honors us, I'd like to have as many children as you would like to make in me," Jonayla smiled. "Thank you Zelandoni, I appreciate your kind words and," she looked around at the others, "I appreciate your support. He also felt awe. It would be something if he did. 'A Cave Lion totem a woman? Ayla led the way up the trail winding through trees and outcroppings, always reaching upward until she saw the familiar gap between the trees that indicated the open space before the sacred cave. They went back to the horses and removed the empty carry baskets to use as holders if they found any pups. Then the First from the south was standing. Ancient Egyptian culture from the 19th Dynasty to the end of the 20th Dynasty Animals of Mungo Apsley and Green Gully Creek Archaeological Sites on the Don River Archeology for Jean Auel fans Artefacts of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest Atapuerca Atlatls, Spear Throwers, and Woomeras Aurignacian - La Grotte d'Aurignac She is the female Mog-ur. Cambarre began to sweat and his heart began to beat faster as he moved through the forest, looking at the ground, noticing here and there the prints of one human being. Then she signed, "Brog, this woman would ask you for something and would give you something in return.". And I'm sure that you two would like to get started on yours. I need to speak to Mog-ur. They walked briskly to the edge of the cave's terrace and then down a short path to a log covering placed over a pit dug chest high into the ground. "You may be a medicine woman for your people," he conceded. Suddenly, those at the guest hearth heard the noise of returning hunters as the camp came alive. It is always best with things like this, something that affects the whole Summer Meeting, to have the First Zelandoni preside over the ceremony. The young man followed behind his cave leader. He dropped the wood beside the fire and signed to the man from where he stood that he meant him no harm. "Let's go, we'll stop and both get cleaned up at the first water source we find and then we'll find a good hiding place till daylight. "I see, so my daughter and her man are captives or worse" she couldn't seem to focus. "Joplaya and Echozar do well," Robonar replied solemnly. The couple fed some grain to all three of their horses as they waited. "Thank you mother, that was a good story and I see what you mean." Camma instinctively knew that Jonayla was the expert when it came to the task before them and had no second thoughts about instantly obeying her instructions. "Daughter, I wanted to give you a gift that you might enjoy as much as I did once. The frown of concentration left her forehead for a moment and she smiled, "Yes daughter, that's right. Her shoulder hurt fiercely, as if on fire, and she didn't want anything rubbing against her throbbing injuries. Hidden near the summit, facing away from the valley below, was a cave. In just a few moments there was another face looking over the edge of the pit, the open face of a young man. Finally it was decided that the other two Zelandoni would be responsible for the telling of events that happened in the north and they would all travel back in one group. And yes, I know this also sounds hard to believe - that a young girl could do all this - but you must know by now that your new First Zelandoni is not just 'anybody'. He gestured to Jonayla's spearthrower sitting on top of the gear beside her sleeping furs. Jonayla hugged the wolf pup affectionately. They rode westward until dusk, when they found a good spot up against a bluff that would protect them from the cooler night breeze. 'It's not just me who thinks the Seventh doesn't really care if he is chosen.'. Iza was allowed by the leader to pick me up and take me with her. We would appreciate your hospitality and a place to care for our wounded. They were up with the dawn. After all, she had lost her son, much as that other mother had lost hers. This will be my last summer because I'll be twelve next year and too old to continue in my place. "I've never seen those designs before. And further, I will support her vocally with the others. he asked. There had been reports of deaths on both sides. With pleading in his eyes he signed, "Why?" I have to tell you Ayla, that she has made me feel young again," he laughed. Groog was now able to walk with the aid of a staff and he much preferred walking to riding. "Ayla, you're the fool!" "In fact, I caused them more trouble than anyone else in their community with my strange way of thinking. 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. The cry seemed to echo across the valley and then an answering cry came from closer by. So Madroman and Brukeval had come north together and set themselves up as Shaman and Hunt Leader! The men were around the campfire laughing and telling jokes. It's a long story and I need to get him away from all the staring eyes." I lived in a valley all by myself and my only friends were my horse 'Whinney' and my cave lion 'Baby' and though I was grateful to have them for companionship, it is not the same as having other people dear to you. It was hard to imagine a Clan man raping her mother. They were coming down to meet her. I don't want to make a mistake or take a side that might be in the wrong. Then as if awakening from a daze, she hurried off to do as Jonayla had asked. With the advent of domesticated horses, even the old and frail, so long as they weren't ill, could travel in relative comfort. He still couldn't quite believe all the nastiness that had flowed from Brukeval's mouth directed toward Ayla. "I take it that you are leader of these Zelandonii?" Then a woman's scream could be heard, and the unmistakable roar of a cave lion in the same direction as the screams. Overwhelmed with grief, tears streaming from her eyes, Ayla signed Jonayla to bring the horses and a pole-drag as quickly as possible. He knew the child had had a tough summer. Some of the Chimu didn't think he was really THE Skytalker, but many did. The thought of leaving to travel east to a place where she had been accepted before, was a soothing one. All eyes looked at the flames that burned with no wood, as if they were ghost flames. But, just like the other children, he'd fallen in love with the huge predator that treated children like pack members and played and frolicked with them. As second to the leader of their Clan, Mageb knew they only had a short time in this place before they were discovered. Folrian had no change of clothes. If she hadn't, maybe Jondalar wouldn't be lying here in pain now. That was interesting, he had just been thinking about them and then suddenly there they were! It's hard to believe that Clan people cook this way. They bid Durcan farewell with a wave and rode the northern trail toward the Nineteenth Cave. Not a prospect she looked forward to after her recent experience with Brukeval. Brukeval raised his spearthrower as if to slam a spear into her, but he held back, he looked into her eyes, his own eyes misty with tears, then his body was slammed backwards as a spear shaft materialized in the center of his chest and within the same breath another took him in the throat, tearing a great chunk of flesh away. As this procession was the sole concern of the Zelandoni, and since the First Zelandoni had been their leader too, they felt they should join in and help. Those were exciting and wonderful times," Jondalar squeezed Ayla's hand. Star curled up at their feet. Sometimes you only realize how good a person is when they are no longer with you. He was quiet but she even startled him sometimes when she came up next to him to whisper something about game movement. I think you owe her some concern, don't you?". I've missed not having Wolf around. I guess there will be a women's gathering down there like this one we men are having," Willamar smiled. Jondalar had always tried to imitate his mate's unique ability to do that, but he sighed as he pressed his hands to his knees as he slowly stood. Jondalar was concerned about Ayla. "When I've prepared myself, we'll ride to within sight of the cave and then Jonayla and I will dismount and walk toward them. What was she playing at? They had camped close to a grove of trees that served as a wind break and the campfire warmed them as evening settled in. I would almost thank Brukeval and Madroman, if they hadn't caused so much trouble for my people.". "'What do you want?' Cambarre wondered if the last part was directed toward him. They both felt that he was too young for a journey into a troubled area that might offer danger. It was within easy walking distance to the lake that had been formed because of the recent earthquake. Proleva cleared her throat, a little embarrassed by the raw feelings expressed by her two friends. He would have to think about that later when he was by himself and had the time to concentrate on the problem. As he watched intently, he could find no insincerity in her body language. It had been done this way for as long as anyone could remember. Was his fear that obvious? I have complete confidence in you, I know you'll come up with a way to make the others see what's needed and I'm not just saying that because you're my mother, I'm saying it because I know it's the truth.". Jean is particularly known for his world famous novel series, Earths Children, which a set of several historical fiction novels. She turned to Jondalar who had been watching the two of them. His musings were abruptly interrupted as the spear was knocked from his hand. I thought to try a concoction of Aconite, Marigold and Wild Hops, mixed with Black Birch Bark. Manvelar, leader of the Third Cave, had taken the lead as the sun reached the western sky and he was the one who first spotted smoke from Hilltop Holding. Then one day there was a coating of frost on the rocks beside the trail leading down to the valley. People were stopping in midstride as they saw the pair ride in. As Lorala neared her, it became obvious that Jonayla was upset, that she had been crying. He couldn't understand what was being communicated but decided she was holding her own, so he remained silent and watched. She walked out with her friend and greeted those at the morning meal. Jonayla was lying on a mat in the main room asleep. You are the most beautiful horse in the world and everyone will be envious of you when they see how beautiful you are." Cambarre nodded in agreement and understanding. She assumed it would be more intense. She needed his closeness as reassurance. Camma had seen the horses in the corral and wondered who from the Zelandonii had come to visit. It reminded Ayla of a time many years before when she had been responsible for just herself and Jondalar, not the entire Zelandonii population. "Yes," Joharran said, turning to the Mog-ur and his Medicine Woman. I must say that she is most impressive. Brog tried to take hold of his emotions. "I cannot argue with the logic of your vision. It must have utilized the most skillful and accomplished artisans to create the finished outfit, and no effort had been spared. The Fifth Cave's Zelandoni silenced them and turned to Ayla as spokesman for them all. I'm glad that Ralev will be staying with us this winter. Jean Auel gives us the final episode in the lives of pre-historic men and women plus the Neanderthal Clan People. Then the stallion raced to put himself between his herd and the danger he sensed. I really liked this book, I wasn't ready for the Ayla/Jondalar saga to end and this was just what I needed. It was most providential that you came here when you did, and with a wolf. She had met Ralev's Armuna who was Attaroa in real life and Wolf had killed her to save Jondalar's life, but she also knew the stylized tale was more fantasy than reality. Primitive touch Auel believes "we've all got a little Neanderthal in us". It is the first time I actually heard the Mother's words spoken out loud. She also knew that she should be the one to go to the Clan to retrieve Madroman but in her eagerness to see Jondalar she delegated the task to Joharran with Jonayla as interpreter. But I will understand if you want to wear the outfit you have with you" Although Ayla would accept her daughter's refusal, she was pleased by Jonayla's reaction. My guess is there is a tale to tell about this wolf pup and how you came by it.". "I almost died giving birth to Durc. Especially considering she had already mapped out the entire series before the first book, The Clan of the Cave Bear, even hit the bookstores in 1980. The people of the Ninth Cave had noticed the change in their First Zelandoni, but it was little commented on, after all, it was spring and many members of the cave lost some weight during the lean full moons of winter when fatty foods became scarce. The two young people looked out over the valley below in companionable silence for a while then began to talk about everyday things. Ramacol was just the level-headed type that Ayla admired and knew she could rely upon. "Yes, a most remarkable medicine. I have to answer to the people and what they determine to be just.". She immediately headed back out to the outside hearth to get the hot water. It would give Two Wolf Lodge one more evening to put everything in order and to leave the area at a convenient time for everyone. The only good sign was that there were no red lines running down his arm, which would mean it would have to be removed, but that was little consolation if the fever ended up killing him. Willamar was concerned that she seemed to need him so. "We came into your lands to try to stop the false Shaman you call 'Skytalker' and also his hunt leader, a man called Brukeval. I've been thinking about this for a long time, but now I'm sure; I have to make the Zelandonia understand that we're all earth's children, our people and the Clan, no matter what they decide at this gathering, I won't rest until I make them understand.". She had no idea how accomplished the man was as a hunter and tracker so gave him the respect that she would show someone as skilled at tracking as herself. Although at some level he knew his father was handsome and that women were attracted to him, but he had never discussed it with anyone before. The warm proximity of the animal made her reflect upon her past horse friends, those who she still missed so much. Thank you.". "What about Cambarre and Jonayla. That is all that is asked of you.". He must think about what to do. Ayla rose from a seated position, throwing her arms out in front of her and standing from a cross-legged position in one smooth motion. I lost someone who still leaves a void. I want to do what First Zelandoni urged me to do, I just worry." She needed to meditate, to prepare for what was to come. The Chimu didn't have horses. Ayla signed this, to show that she was an accomplished healer and not just casually knowledgeable. This was obviously a moment when the Spirit World had crossed over into this world. For the first book she learnt how to build a snow cave by enrolling for an SAS-like survival course on the nearby Cascade Mountains. He had walked east, away from the group of Doniers and their Acolytes and the young children. It was like magic. She wished there were a way to not have that comparison made, but she needed him to understand what was said and it was too distracting for her to interpret for him. I mean this from my heart," said the Third. "I hope the horses got away to safety," Jonayla said. Ayla shivered slightly in secret delight as his brilliant blue eyes looked into hers. Groog watched the woman's hands as she talked. Both mother and daughter were weary. He even confirmed it at the end. Ayla asked. The one real conversation he'd had with her was about hunting and when he'd complimented her on her skill, all she had said was that if you practiced hard enough and long enough, anyone could be good at hunting. And here you are. The wound is closed.". "You there!" Finally, as they neared the herd, one by one, the men dropped to the ground to hide among the tall dry grass that covered the valley floor. These are clashes between two communities, not just a few people, but potentially hundreds of people, men, women and children. She also wanted to stop at the White Cave near Hill Top Holding for personal reasons that she kept to herself. Cambarre asked, holding his breath. This time though, there would be only seven couples and most of the women who would be mated had, like her daughter, already been with their man for some time. Havoe grabbed it and woofed it down, smacking his lips with pleasure. I've always worried about him. Did you know that we were saved because of the Clan people? Whinney now walked the Spirit World with Racer, her first and only son. She pulled her own tunic off over her head, removed her leggings and loincloth then stepped into the pool. Durcan knew that there were some adults still talking about the fitness of his mother to be The First Zelandoni because she'd had a child with a flathead man. Jonayla didn't respond, she just kept riding silently, looking straight ahead. Folrian asked. She stood there, every muscle tensed, ready for anything as she listened to Duroban. When that man menaced the Other's Mog-ur, Groog moved forward to intercept him. Against the back wall of the surround were some sleeping shelters and an area with an awning stretched over it for rainy days, but the main area was just a big open space where people could sit and watch and listen, although there was a structure at the side of the compound that had a dugout floor and a pointed roof providing a more intimate space when needed. It makes sense that he would have gone north. Groog squinted, looking down the trail concentrating on a movement. You will be received even though you are a female and one of the Others, you will be received as Mog-ur. It was late afternoon when they ate, and the food was delicious. We need to resolve this, here today. She had made an enclosure from woven reed to hold him while she worked, but if he made a determined effort, or was frightened, he would be able to break through it. When it came to guiding a First Zelandoni's spirit to the Spirit World and choosing a new First, the runners were especially important. She was born in the year 1936 in Chicago, United States to Neil Solomon Untinen and Martha Wirtanen. I want to visit the Clan one more time to talk to Dula and Mog-ur, I have something there that is unfinished and that I must see too. All control lost, he raced toward Ayla, arms raised with hate and insanity glowing from his deep brown Clan eyes. Where is this Shaman of yours? He had decided that he would follow her lead and do what she suggested without question from now on. He'd been the first of her kind she'd ever met and since then, having met many men of her kind, she was still convinced that he was the best example of a man there was to be found. There had been no hesitation in her eyes or voice then. As critics point out, her saga is part coming-of-age story, part romantic epic and part exploration of prehistoric invention, with Ayla and Jondalar supposedly key figures in an absurd number of breakthrough events in human technology. The man in the lead was Brukeval! Ayla was riding Summer Child with Melodene seated behind her now, she holding Ayla's waist for balance. That one nod broke a tradition that had gone unbroken since the dawn of mankind. It was her ashes that were now being carried back there to be placed with those who had been First before her. "She found a protected valley and a cave on a mountainside that protected her from the cold north wind. I was mortified that I had made the mistake, but when he recovered I was elated. Of course we took them in. he smiled at his own joke. In moments there were other Doniers and their Acolytes filing out only to stand in surprise at the scene before them. These movements although subtle, were overt shows of support for their candidate. We must calm them as much as we can, and yelling won't help us do that.". I thank you for that," Jonayla took Marilla's hands her hers. ", The southern Donier stood silently as Ayla spoke. ", Jondalar laid back and closed his eyes again. As if reading Jonayla's mind the Zelandoni said in a low voice, "We only use purified oil in the lamps and no torches so that we won't discolor the walls with sooty smoke. It seemed a natural thing when Lorala had touched her the first time. Once, when tamed horses were few, they had been kept in a corral at the southern edge of the Ninth Cave's great ledge, but when more of the people began to tame their own horses, it soon became obvious that there would not be enough room for all of them so close to the main enclosure. It has been five summers since we last used that holding for a gathering. She also knew that now that she had touched it Mog-ur couldn't take it back even if he wanted to. ", "Mother," Jonayla called from the lake where she and Melodene had been swimming, "do you know Folrian? Jean M. Auel may not be done with Earth's Children, after all. Jonayla, unasked, but knowing that her mother would prefer her to sing the Mother's Song, raised her clear voice in song. I admit I have been worrying about my blunder ever since it happened. You'll see, in time everyone will use them, just like my people do. Speculation concerning her demise by various, even nefarious, means has dogged the 66-year-old Portland, Oregon, novelist throughout the 11 years it has taken her to complete The Shelters of Stone, book five in the projected six-book Earth's Children series that began with The Clan of the Cave Bear in 1980. It has worked well for us, so there is no reason to change it," Groog made the grimace of friendship to soften his words so he wouldn't offend the young female of the Others. Anyway, I still miss my Wolf too much to replace him with another just yet.". No one existed for him but Jonayla, a golden vision, almost intimidating in her beauty. First Place has high cliffs and is situated in a small valley that is easily defended, yet is open to the lake that offers a good water source. As all of the Zelandonia and the leaders of the caves arranged themselves around the burial shelter, the people attending the ceremony began to sit down on the ground and grow quiet. She hadn't thought about the reason they'd come to the north for some time now. Come, let's get you settled and some food in you. She finally left the project she was working on inside the family lodge to see what the commotion was about. She would return to the Ninth Cave's lodge to assist Jonayla with her purification ceremony. Then she looked at her daughter who was sprawled on the ground looking at her, wild-eyed with horror. ", "Yes, we found tracks and we have hunters following them. The southern Donier made the fever fungus infusion as she'd seen the First Zelandoni do when she had treated Jondalar north of the river Neema. Am I too late to hear the story?" I agree that we should. They met some distance away, panting for breath, looking back at the noise coming from their campsite. He had made up for his physical infirmities by overcoming them and using his hard earned abilities to speak to the Spirit World and to become his people's spiritual leader. Madroman and the others were ahead of him by a few hundred paces, he tarried behind to see how many Zelandonii were following. All three pups settled down and slept through the night, exhausted from their traumatic experience and the energy expended throughout the day. "Ayla!" He felt for the woman as, only moments ago, he feared that he'd lost his own mate. It had all been such a blur to her - the Mother speaking so vividly through her. Ayla looked at the man and signed, "I will be talking with our leaders soon and we will do something about this. Cambarre tensed as one man rose from the fire to the cheers and jeers of the others. Before we can leave I have ceremonies that I must preside over for the well-being of the Zelandonii people. ", "Um, I thought you'd know about it mother. If you would lead us to a place where we can care for our wounded we would greatly appreciate it," Joharran concluded. Ayla was determined to wear it with distinction and do her best to follow her old friend's example. ", "I can see that your Groog is of mixed spirits. "Yes father, that's what the First Zelandoni told me. Jonayla knew that something was on her mother's mind, something more than just the meeting. Look down there, he isn't moving." Jondalar wasn't convinced, he'd been watching her ever since the confrontation with the cave lion and he thought that she might be suffering from the poison associated with cat claw wounds and said so. They were hobbled with lengths of rawhide thongs so they wouldn't stray during the night, and it was always a good idea to make sure they would be content. Groog, still crouching beside the little flame, looked up at the leader of his cave and his Mog-ur and said, "This is but one small thing the Others Mog-ur has brought to her people. Kerouac, Jack - Dharma Bums.mobi - 352 kB. They decided to pass-by the trail up to Nineteenth Cave and cross over the River Neema that afternoon and camp on the northern bank. Brog stated firmly. Jean Auel. He turned back to see the female had pulled a sling from her pouch and had placed a stone in it. "This is a unique place, with the carved portals and the smoothed painted walls. 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. ", "Monkam is dead, he was killed by the Shaman's men because he didn't want to share me with others of the group. [14], Jean Marie Untinen married Ray Bernard Auel after high school. At least her mate had been given a stone. Now when she had an occasion to see her reflection, she was always surprised that she looked ordinary just like anyone else of her kind. In the few seconds that she had to react, Ayla knelt and shoved the stout Clan spear butt-first into the stony ground beneath her. The Clan had no term for "thank you" they understood gratitude, but that generally carried a sense of obligation. Everyone agreed with this plan and discussions turned to the upcoming Summer Meeting. "Those are Maga Spears like those flathead Clan people use in their ceremonies," the man said in reply. With shared labor, each was less tired than otherwise would be the case and that gave them more time for the esoteric pursuits such as artistic endeavor or enough time to create utilitarian items that were needed to make life more secure or enjoyable, something beyond just existence. "I just helped Skytalker enforce his spiritual control over the Chimu. He enjoyed the ride to the ground, with a few whooping yells on the way down. If he could kill her, maybe his Mog-ur would be able to deal with her spirit. Ayla snuggled up to Jondalar's back and hugged him to her. "This is not a normal spear," was all she could think to say. We are so grateful to you First Zelandoni. Which one was it? I stumbled across this in a google search. Brog thought that the woman's statement about her mate giving her children was a bit strange, but he understood a mother's grieving, even if not exactly what she had meant. Suddenly, through the trees and away to their right, the children came galloping and whooping toward them with obvious delight at having found something to contribute for the evening meal. Not surprisingly, their own horses nickered when they caught the scent of the wild herd. No, not a beast A disguise! They had even experienced some difficult times in their relationship, but she could still - at his touch - feel like a young girl experiencing the wonder of a first opening. Jonayla nodded toward the corral, "Because a horse is missing. One of the men turned toward them. Were you able to return that loud young female of the Others and her silent man to their people? But she didn't want to risk a baby by a man who was not her mate. "We have to assume whoever is hiding there means to ambush anyone traveling this way. When it was Jonayla and Cambarre's turn, they clasped hands, her right hand in his left as they stepped forward. Reaching the cave entrance, they called out then briefly waited for a response before dismounting and entering the cave. Brog fixed the cave leader with a stony stare. Groog knew all this, but having to talk to all these Others and their leaders was making him feel nervous. "This winter we'll redo the dwelling your parents have given us. Chapter 17 Twelve lives taken, and at least one was a child, she knew that from the size of the skull. She could tell that there was intense love there, not just a healer's obligation. She knelt close, placing her lips to his ear and whispered, "I love you Jondalar and I promise that I will heal you, but this is going to hurt. Auroch were amazingly stupid animals, and would run from any sudden noise or vigorous movement. 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. Ayla's heart sank as she realized, against all her training and experience, she'd let her guard down just enough to be caught by the one man she needed to protect herself from most. She watched the long line of people descend the winding trail to the valley floor.
