I think my feeling of happiness might be a sign that it is the right thing to do. It would be confused and would no longer help the hunter to kill his quarry. Besides, we gave him a funeral and buried his body under a rock cairn. We'll be back for you as soon as the hunt is over. "Interesting," Chandalar replied, not sure if he really wanted to wrap himself in horse urine. "Robinar, you have a full set of cave lion claw scars, just like mine. I'll really miss Lorala, she always treated me as if I were her little sister. Jonayla's young wolf investigated everything in sight as he wove in and out among the horses, contentedly accepting these animals and humans as his pack and enjoying all the new sights and smells. Then they were moving another direction and suddenly Groog was brought through a curtained opening and set down on the ground. ''The books have been banned in a couple of places like Texas,'' she points out. It was a busy time just before becoming inactive as the long cold winter arrived. It became obvious what had happened as they rounded the curve of the river. It makes sense that he would have gone north. Untinen grew up in Chicago, and right after high-school graduation, she married Ray Auel. Until more of their kind arrives, they don't have enough hunters to track the wild men through a land they do not know," Groog replied. Camma was used to leadership, but the Chimu were a small people compared to the Zelandonii, and to be at ease in ones manner toward others, to just assume that everyone present would follow you, that was something she would have to learn, she told herself. There were also some rough clay jars that had been sealed off. The next day, just after dawn, the Zelandonii broke camp near the Nineteenth Cave and rode down to the river crossing. I agree that we should. The two Others stopped and dismounted some distance away from Mageb. I do not understand how you would know Creb of the eastern Clans. Cambarre had news of the searchers. "Why didn't you tell me this last night?" But you needn't worry, I'm sure she will be most grateful for the gift.". Mongar remembered them both. But someday, I hope you do have children. With the story about Jonayla and Durc finding wolf pups and then their mother's miraculous Wolf from the Sky and their run-in with the Clan in Long Valley only the day before, they had much to tell. It was decided that they would camp south of the forest that night. "Jonayla, I wanted to talk to you. They talked about her mother's recent elevation to First Zelandoni and the experience she and her mother had in the north. He wasn't sure what to do. "I must leave for the Zelandoni lodge soon to prepare for the Matrimonial. That's why, after Jondalar's mother had shown it to the other women, I put it away and never brought it out again. She looked down at her father, eyes widening in shock and concern at how much weight he'd lost and the sickly pallor of his skin. He crouched defensively as the two riders came at him, but when they used big sticks to throw flying spears into the air and brought down two Auroch cows that had just passed him, his eyes widened and he stood up, grounding his hunting spear to watch. 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. Jondalar had become less and less talkative over the past few years. That was a long time ago, and they have been faithful to each other ever since. She wanted to give herself to him, she might even have done so now, if he hadn't just said that he respected her for not giving in. I've sent runners to the Eleventh and Fourteenth Caves asking their leaders and Doniers to attend as well. She reflected how strange it was that once one submerged in cold water, the body soon adjusted and it quickly became comfortable to be in the water, even feeling warmed by it. She hoped the meeting wouldn't digress into an argument about her leadership and her past. They were both smiling brightly, enjoying each other's company. Even the special devoted look Wolf bestowed on his human pack leaders was captured by the talented artist. At that moment I would have moved the earth for you. He thought of Proleva, his own mate and had a pang of regret that she was back at the Summer Meeting caring for Durcan and not here with him. Even when I first arrived with Jondalar as a stranger, you were kind to me and you've been a great help to me since the First Zelandoni died. Suddenly Ayla's thoughts were interrupted by chanting. "I can't really see what help you would need," Jondalar said frowning. She had spoken to Jondalar about this in a quiet moment while traveling back from the north. The thought of having her own firestone was intoxicating. In the morning, Ayla and her daughter quietly chanted The Great Earth Mother's Prayer as they put Wolf's ashes into a carry basket to take back with them. Cambarre asked, frowning with worry. Somehow he would get away and the next time he and pretty boy met, or his flathead loving mate, for that matter he would show them what anger was all about. His face looked dangerous too, like he might be vicious if angered. kracine posts on 5/31/2012 3:00:37 AM I just finished The Sacred Mountain, and I thought it was an impressive effort. Waiting would only cause the wound to become more dangerous. This wasn't a perfect solution and there was a possibility that he might escape, but Ayla had an aversion to taking his life, one more life after so many already taken and the Fifth Cave of the south was a good distance away from anywhere else. The first among the southerners felt a pang of disappointment. For as long as I live I will come back here whenever I can to see this image of my friend. "The younger brother did not know what to say. "After the Mother speaks, will you be First Zelandoni mother?" "I'm sorry for my awkward words, I didn't mean to offend you. He already looked younger and certainly was acting more interested in life than only a few days ago. He turned to walk back to the fire. Why would Wolf suddenly go into a frenzy of activity like that? Bless her, but the First Zelandoni was ill for too long. He was tending your horses, and then the three of us went to listen to the storytellers. ''I said, kind of quietly, 'I'm now writing six books,''' Auel says, with a laugh, on the phone from their home in Oregon. Seeing this, Ayla made the welcome sign and beckoned them into the cave. Stop you freak! I'm not sure if any of our leaders, except our First Zelandoni, would have realized so fast that Madroman was a trickster. He seems determined to take revenge from Ayla and expel her from the Clan. The cave was at peace. She even began learning the construction of an ice cave by joining a survival class, as well as other related activities like making fire with the use of primitive methods, knapping stone and tanning leather under the guidance of Jim Riggs, who was an expert in aboriginal skills. I should have talked about him years ago, but never quite knew how to introduce the subject. Lately I seem to forget that I'm hungry until I smell food cooking," Ayla said, grateful for the food. "All I ask No what I demand from you, is that you not hinder me in my work for our people. In another year or two we'll have three caves and it might not be so important to travel so far again". The pup was at a very rambunctious stage now. 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. But I also think at the end he realized that he'd been wrong to react the way he had toward everyone. Your daughter is quite a woman. She has learned new cures using plants and roots that seem to grow only here. It will make my hands and eyes perform the task truly in honor of 'The Wolf Who Was Zelandoni'. Im still hoping, tho. Mageb wasn't sure what to do. You disgust me. So did the trial period when six summers ago we lived with the clouds of falling dust that came to us from afar, where day never really came and the nights were long from one summer to the next. I wish he could have been here, but I understand his need to complete the first wall of the White Cave before next summer's meeting. And I have something of value with me to trade for some of their fever fungus. The Zelandonii were anxious to return to the Summer Meeting. She now stood with an incredibly penetrating look in her eyes, as if staring into another world, legs in a wide stance, arms flung wide. I don't know what is going on out there, but there were two hunters wounded, one with a spear thrust through him. He could tell it was her recipe from the peppery fragrance. Jonayla disengaged the pup from the sling and held him out to the Zelandoni. "And if, as you say, this Mog-ur has understanding of the Clan and wishes to help us with these wild men from her people, then I think we should try to help her in her quest to find her daughter. "This is a man of the Clan. He wondered if Jondalar and Ayla, and Cambarre and Jonayla, for that matter, felt as he and Melodene did. It was late morning before they'd had their breakfast and broken camp. "I say we should help the Others. "You're clawed!" As she was thinking these thoughts, the noise of breaking twigs intruded and she realized she had let go of Jondalar's hand. They had a good meal with the Zelandoni and his workers before mounting their horses to travel north again. It was a deer; she hadn't gotten a good look but she thought it was a buck. The hunters could barely communicate with them so they couldn't give us much information." "Oh yes, there are many stories from the S'Armunai who count you, among other things, as the spirit of the Mother. If this Shaman was all powerful then she would be lost. The grass that grew on the valley floor had been virtually untrodden all summer long and now rippled in the breeze in golden waves as if it were an ocean. Oh well, he thought, another strange thing that he would have to ponder. Just as you now know of me and my people I would know who you are and who the Zelandonii are if we are to work together to bring peace to our land. "I help medicine woman. Blandar had been an accomplished Knapper, one who was known for his fine axe blades and spearthrower points. 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. The ground was becoming so broken with unexpected dips and crevices that Ayla soon decided to dismount and lead her horse. "Zelandoni, are you there?" "If you can all agree on this, then why shouldn't the northern Zelandoni? Jaradal was the hunt leader of the Ninth Cave and was Joharran's son and would probably be the next cave leader someday. How could anyone be this evil? That is what I have with Jondalar and I couldn't wish you a better relationship than to be with Willamar. Other Caves to the far north and far south were to meet them within ten days' time. Rubio immediately turned on his heel and began to race to his father and the elders. I know that he will listen to you and if we can stop those wild men who hunt us, all will be well. "We will speak more about the trouble in the north when we arrive at the Summer Meeting," Ayla explained in Clan hand signs. She stepped forward and reverently placed the last remains of The One Who Was First Zelandoni squarely in the center of the stone pillar, then stood back and bowed her head in sad reflection as the Spirit Drum continued its slow somber beat in the background. Now to spend time in the presence of the entire Zelandonia was a bit intimidating. "Mother!" The town of Julian holds a special place in our hearts and Sacred Mountain was the first venue we toured. "That is an important function, you must be proud of your father," Ayla continued, enjoying her discussion with this bright young girl. "I feel that we have been friends for a long time now. Look down there, he isn't moving." When small herds of game began to appear, migrating north, the young hunters would trek down to the valley floor to hunt animals for fresh meat. "If we have a girl we will name her Marthona after father's mother or if it's a boy we are going to name him Dalanar after father's father. Wait!". Ayla assured Tormaden that she would be responsible for the Chimu woman and led her to the guest hearth, asking Jonayla to make a small cooking fire and heat water for tea. It was all so overwhelming. Jondalar asked, as he'd been instructed to do by Ayla. ", "You stay with the pups," Jondalar replied. I'll just be happy for her and grateful for the life I have; a beautiful accomplished mate and two strong, smart children. Within moments of their arrival, Ayla had dismounted with her medicine pouch in hand and was at the side of the closest person lying on the ground in front of the cave. See the light-haired one? The people sitting around the large open hearth murmured knowingly. There was an ancient look reflected in this Mog-ur's eyes, the look of someone who had experienced the other side. ", Groog was stunned. He would be tall; it was obvious from the height he had already attained. If they didn't cross the path of their people by the time they reached the hills that bisected the forest, they would make camp and send out two scouts, one northeast and one northwest, to look for their people. Then she let out a howl of anger that sounded like she was being cut in half. It was her friend, the first Zelandoni from the southern caves. 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. Before he left for the south his Mog-ur had told him that since his spirt was a mixture between the Clan and the Others he should be able to make himself understood better than anyone else in the Clan. "Brukeval, I always thought you had more sense than Madroman. Author: Jean M.

Lorala soon became bored with the constant questions and answers that passed between the strange angry looking man and her friend, so eventually excused herself. I would be satisfied with our child's children though. They might form a conclave of all six southern caves to support their own candidate. Before her, portrayed in stone, was the most perfect replication of a gray wolf that Ayla had ever seen. That she, this woman, knew that all the fighting over the past summer must have made hunting and drying meat for winter very difficult. Even years ago when he'd first met her, he'd thought of her as Zelandoni, maybe even more than Zelandoni. Ayla looked around her quickly and realized that if she tried to dive for cover she would make an easy target for the man. "I see some foals," Camma said, even more excited now. She thought he knew his luck and that made her smile. Then she added, "and leader of the Donier Helpers in his own right." "I-I'm sorry Jonayla, I didn't think" There he was again, feeling the fool. Ayla nodded to her friend and colleague and left the quiet space so he would have peace and quiet to complete his task of preparation. Ayla continued earnestly, "I would enjoy hearing all of your tales and I'm sure Jondalar would too, as well as everyone else at the Ninth Cave. This was not the mother she'd known all her life, the smiling confident mother and friend. He'd been up the valley when he'd heard about the visitors, but he hadn't thought too much about it until he reached their summer lodge and saw that Ayla had gone to meet them. 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. "They are not here. He had a faraway expression as if he were remembering. "The next day the younger brother and his mate and children celebrated their good fortune with another feast and were very happy. I have everything I need to care for him, if you will just get out of my way." They were all small, single wicked stone lamps, but the bases were tall, in order to hold a good supply of oil. "Jondalar, I was so afraid, I thought I was going to die before I'd even begun as First Zelandoni. Now, as far as trying to convince you that I should be the leader of the Zelandonia, I will not do that. "Mother, can I go see what's in those trees over there?" They were ritual gestures, repeated in essentially the same form for every funeral. Brukeval was hunched on the ground near Ayla, holding a bloody hand with his men standing nervously behind him. 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. Ayla and Jondalar took in the third pup for the night. I wonder why we ever thought of them as animals," the Zelandoni artist said, as he chewed lustily. There had been reports of deaths on both sides. Early the next morning the southern Donier conferred with all of the Zelandonia who had remained in the lodge to tend the child and mother and to watch over their leader. I have always been different and have always had to stand up for myself. I want to, very much," she said, meaning it fervently. Her heart was pounding in her chest and she was feeling a little wobbly in the knees. As a pink dawn rose over the hills to the east, the darkness slowly faded on the far side of the valley. She had turned to face the shore by the time Cambarre emerged from the tent so she could see his state of readiness. 39. ", Ayla was determined not to let her fear show, it would do no good to let Jondalar or Jonayla know how worried she was. I didn't know what to think when I saw just your head above water. He realized she had seen everything he had, that she was truly a hunter as accomplished as he. Jondalar was no better; his wound was more inflamed than ever. She hadn't understood some of the names of the medicines the young woman of the Others had used, but she did understand the confidence she displayed in her own abilities. I will make you comfortable, cook and clean and help wherever I can. The only times he wasn't sure how he felt, was when they told stories about his mother and father. He asked no more questions but hurried toward the main holding, wondering who had been chosen as First Zelandoni and why they had come to Hilltop so soon after being chosen. "Shouldn't we just make sure they don't cross the river? 'Young people! The man looked at the stones and then back at the woman. 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. Would she end up being alone when she was her mother's age with no children of her own? He gulped and looked over at his sister. "The older brother already had a scheme in mind. "I was turned out of the Clan by what I now realize was a jealous and vindictive new leader. "I'm afraid that I must head back to the Summer Meeting tomorrow. Chapter 24 I also made you some mint tea. Jonayla bedded down next to her mother, fervently wishing that she could do more to help, but as a new Acolyte, all she really could do was to offer loving support to her mother. She could only wish her daughter as much joy as she'd experienced on her mating day. He hadn't responded to her face paint as much as she'd hoped. "I just hope we don't have a need for it before we get back to the Summer Meeting," he said, still worried even as he held out both the spearthrower and his quiver full of deadly spears for Jonayla to take. Together they would begin the trek to the Summer Meeting once again. The space was small compared to the outer cave area, maybe as long as 5 people lying head to feet and about the same in width. At best they could only transport two. They would surely be the largest group in attendance again this year. The Zelandonia called it 'Revelation Chamber'. At least that's always been my experience with them. It is good to give her a token of our esteem. Then it will stop. She'd only been a small girl at the time and in the years since they'd always acted toward each other with a great fondness. She was worth waiting for and he should have controlled his urges with her. Jonayla urged Gray forward again, this time at a slow walk. He knew that fool Camma would form a friendship with Ayla, he knew that they were much alike. Looking at her daughter who had followed them, "Jonayla, you will need to stay here and care for your father. Move now or I will kill you!" "I know this is a shock to all of you and I apologize for not telling you before this. Glad it worked," she said, also very relieved. She was relieved beyond measure to see her mate at that moment. It was about time to get ready for the meeting with her fellow Zelandonia that afternoon. ", "Yes, I will attend. A horse can also help hide you from the animals you hunt. "That that looks like Wolf!" What do I plan to do next? Iza was sibling to Creb who was Mog-ur. She looked up at him and felt grief that she'd caused this man so much pain. What say you?" Some did accept him, many didn't. "Let's take this trail; we'll gain real distance if we move fast. He stopped at the cave opening and peered into the dark interior, not wanting to enter. It will still be some time before the slowest to prepare are ready to go and I need some peace and quiet for a few moments.". What are you doing? Suddenly red-haired Ralev stood and stepped up onto the storyteller's platform and beckoned a young woman from his troupe to join him. He took a swallow of the exquisite tea with a raspberry taste to it and wondered how they had captured that flavor, "And this tea is so unusual," he concluded. Ayla had been shocked that Brukeval would have already heard about her Clan son but this time she was prepared. The spear would be inconvenient to carry but she didn't want to abandon it. Sacred Mountain is a romantic outdoor venue that is nestled amongst 61 acres of lush, unspoiled nature. This was the Ninth Cave's share from the summer hunts. Soon there was a soft but sustained chant continuously repeated in low soothing voices. Jondalar couldn't help himself, he dismounted and beckoned Ayla to dismount too and he hugged her tightly. It was times like this that she wondered if the gift of knowledge was really a gift. "Mother, if we're going to the Clan cave, will you ask about the fungus that the medicine woman used on father? They waved farewell to the people still standing in front of the First Wolf Cave and turned their horses toward the trail. When she came on the women of the Ninth Cave she told them that she'd come from their lodge and the men were discussing hunting so she thought she would come down and join them. Ayla had been able to get to know them over shared meals and she liked the leader and his mate - and of course Rubio, their son. "Zelandoni of the Third Cave, please let me introduce you to the Leader of the Donier Helpers," Ayla said. Until we decide differently, you're not welcome here," Ayla said as Jondalar pulled his spearthrower from its sheathe. She looked at the stitched wound and then looked up at the young woman of the Others. They need to be made comfortable and secure before the first big snowfall. Ayla smiled to herself. The book depicts the life of the protagonist, Ayla. She now called it her Dreaming Tea as the tea often took her on 'Dream Journeys'. Jonayla was glad to see that the Chimu had followed her instructions for the care of their horses. For better or worse. It isn't normal that a person should be so sick so soon and from just a few scratches. It had been a very busy morning for the Donier helpers. They finally decided to prepare the remaining substance into the life giving infusion. "I will walk down the trail while you and Mog-ur go into the forest to the right and Cambarre to the left with weapons ready. There were erosions in the stone but the crossing was easy enough there, compared to anywhere else in the vicinity, at least at this time of year when the snow melt season was almost over. ", "Yes, but you have to admit the first person to realize the use of horses had to be very clever indeed," Camma said. Come." That is, until the Zelandonii and Chimu leaders decide what to do with you and Brukeval. They wear clothes and what animal uses fire to cook their food? The beast clawed my leg and left these scars and Creb said it was my totem mark and that no other was necessary," Ayla replied, looking into the Mog-ur's eyes, trying to show him that she spoke the truth by her open expression. Although they were taller than Clan, they were also thinner, he thought, and obviously weaker too. he smiled at his own joke. The group set out again for the Summer Meeting; their ranks swollen by two more souls and two bodies, one man and one beast. You weren't one of the Zelandoni, but you seemed to be by your actions and your accomplishments. "I think you have done more to change people's minds about that than anything we have said in our stories," Ralev said, and he really meant it. 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. left kudos on this work! She had to admit though, from her experience with Groog, she didn't think he would do such a thing. It was worth a try, she thought. -Brittney M. Sacred Mountain is a four-season property equipped to offer maximum comfort to all guests. "Sure I will, I'd be happy to make you welcome for as long as you stay with us, any friend of our Zelandoni is like family to us," Proleva declared. I know I will see him again in the Spirit World when it's my time to cross over - and I look forward to that time. Groog was a little amazed that he was telling this girl so much about himself, but for some strange reason it made him feel calmer to do so. He wasn't feeling good, his leg hurt and he didn't like being restricted to this dwelling all the time. "So how did you become leader?" The Zelandonii were more competitive and there were social conventions that the Clan would never even dream of. When the men heard her sobs they laughed and Cambarre looked over toward them and could see them outlined by the flames of the campfire, slapping each other on the back and making nasty jokes. His dark brown eyes were wide open and he was looking at her with fear and consternation. They were dark gray, almost black. "Daughter, no!"
