"The one common thread between these diverse peoples is their belief and worship of The Great Earth Mother. At this point I dont believe there will be any more in the series. "Enjoy your feast tonight. Proleva laughed. With nothing better to do, Durcan reached up and loosened the sling that he'd wrapped around his forehead. He also told me to keep this knowledge to myself. Now Ralev's voice was soft and pleasant to hear. The pressure of the water had a calming effect on body and mind, allowing her thoughts to flow in a more orderly fashion. I'm sure they were as frightened by that huge beast as we were. Ayla looked at those sitting around the Zelandonia dwelling, catching the eyes of each. The cave was at peace. Mother and daughter exchanged meaningful looks; both knew how dangerous a deep wound could be and the chances of corruption building up that could be fatal. "Yes, that was the Mother making Her wishes known. With his pride a little dented, Groog soon mastered the ability to ride a horse, although somewhat awkwardly. "She is the spiritual leader of all the Zelandonii. To show it would be too humiliating, but seeing these Others on a horse's back was against nature, as if they were spirits of the earth. He was standing there on all four feet, with his head turned toward her, looking into her eyes as if he could see her. Jonayla had been riding northeast. He wasn't aware that Ayla and Jondalar had developed a way to do things on their year long journey from the east and had taught that routine to their children. "At first the apparitions seemed to be half human and half horse. Mongar, I offer no violence and wish no harm to the Clan. But we must be talking about a different Creb, because he lived beyond the end of The Great Mother River, many moon cycles away by horse to the east. We still have the last Matrimonial to get through, and unfortunately, so soon after the burial ceremony. He hadn't been able to do anything to help, other than to search with the others. Proleva was her friend and the mate of Joharran, the leader of the Ninth Cave. Mageb's head shot around and his eyes grew wide as he saw the wolf pup. Without looking back he urged his horse into a full gallop toward the river north of the cave. I don't remember ever tasting Elk steak with spices like that before, it was wonderful." 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. Incantations would help but a clean wound was paramount. "Did you talk further to Brukeval? "Yes, of course First Zelandoni, you don't have to ask, you lead the Zelandonia and we follow you," the young man said, his eyes shining with hero-worship. Jonayla heard her father's long strangled groan and knew what had just happened. I will not meet some female of the Others pretending to be a Mog-ur. She would refrain from speaking about some of what happened on the trip, not sure how to even explain some of the things she had seen and heard. This forced the stallion to turn and race away, even more confused, right into the corral. There before him stood a woman of the Others, but one like none he had ever seen before. ", "Mother!" The younger brother and his mate and children ate and ate till they could eat no more. A moment later his mother and sister and then Cambarre came into view. He kept on hating me, but he tried to ignore me. "She said that it might have been easier to think of them as less than people so that it made it alright to take their living places. Could this Mog-ur of the others have any of the rare sacred root that every Mog-ur of the Clan sought? Her spearthrower out of its holder, she was ready to hunt alongside her brother. His totem mark was the Bison; it stood out on his left cheek. He would double back and he would make them pay for interfering. Camma noticed her first. What now interested him even more than the legend child was the fact that this female Mog-ur used counting words so easily as if she understood everything about them. You're a traitor to your people and your Shaman!". Entering into the Storyteller's compound was always exciting, at least for young children, although many adults enjoyed the stories too. It makes me think that she wanted the Zelandonia to see the sign of the Mog-ur, which is a sign of respect for the Cave Bear Ursus, the Clan's most important spirit. "I'm looking forward to having a baby in the family again. Being the Mog-ur, his hearth was where visitors would stay and therefore it was a bit larger than the others. "All of the S'Armunai stood still in awe at having such powerful spirits in their midst, but fearful of what would happen next. He had hoped never to see them again. Jonayla showed Cambarre where to dig the hole that would hold the grave marker. Groog stared. The Land of Painted Caves: Earth's Children, Book Six by Auel, Jean M. $4.11. Is this all agreed among us?" ", "I'm too old; I don't have the stamina, or the desire for it. "We await discussion on the topics and look for your guidance in these matters," the southerner concluded, then took her place beside the other two southerners. The child was a boy of maybe seven or eight and blood was smeared all over his right side. We'll be back for you as soon as the hunt is over. She smiled as Jonayla's eyes widened in surprise at the outstanding vision of her man dressed in a white as snow tunic. "You might be surprised what your people will say when they are informed," he sneered. Cambarre and Jonayla worked on the dwelling that had housed Jondalar's apprentices and now would be their new home. We want the wild men caught and these people have come to do that. With her guidance, everything will be resolved for the best. It was a gift from the Mother, at least that was what everyone was saying and Ayla felt they were right. You can stop worrying about their revenge on you. But now that you mention it, it does seem quiet for this time of day. "Even though I don't plan to trade them all, I'm bringing all nine of mine to the Summer Meeting. ", "See, that's why I'm behind you," said the Zelandoni of the Third Cave. "My totem was not given to me by the Clan," she signed. I think it is important for a son to see his father's burial ceremony and not to just hear about it from others," Ayla said with conviction. It is close enough, yet will afford a more secluded place with less chance of interruption. For the final leg of the journey, Jonayla was riding herd on her horses with help from Lorala. Suddenly as he topped a low hill, he saw the smoke from his home cave and his heart lifted in joy at the thought of seeing his friends and family again. "Assuredly," Denanna said, with a lack of commitment in her voice. Dogs were physically smaller than wolves, ate less and would be more easily accepted. Ayla took this opportunity to stand and ask for their attention. Ayla prayed to The Great Earth Mother that Groog's people would find Jonayla and Cambarre. ", All the while, as they talked, Ayla had been feeding the small wolf. The story telling done for the time being, Artibon, Folrian and Durcan came out into the afternoon light and headed toward the trader's place. Chapter 19 It was obvious to Ayla that the men with the instruments could see what had happened. he wondered. The basil licorice herb was a plant that could grow most anywhere. She began to sign in the formalized movements of the ancient unspoken language used to communicate with spirits and with other clans. She knew that in the beginning he must have been in great pain from the damage caused by his severe beating, but he never complained, in fact he never even mentioned his condition. She was no longer Clan, she reminded herself. I have actually heard the Mother speak through her directly to us. Cambarre came over and said quietly, "The man is dead. She moved her arms and feet in flowing motions as if in a strange dream-dance, never looking around and humming a soft repetitive moan, a sound that seemed familiar but not recognized. There were many more Chimu at that evening's meal than those who usually stayed at First Place. They began a grinding jog west. She would return to the Ninth Cave's lodge to assist Jonayla with her purification ceremony. This was the time of year when the final hunts and the last of the gathering of the natural abundance of grains and berries, nuts and fodder around the home cave areas would take place. "We have never had Clansmen pillaging our caves. It was in her stance and in her eyes. A person who was an outsider. "How are your people recovering now?" Jonayla is very much like her mother and I too feel blessed by the Mother for having found my mate. 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. Still, I need to talk to him about this." Won't you please consider attending?" What can I do for you Rubio?" She watched as the woman came around the fire to sit beside Willamar and saw his face light up with a smile. They were on the trail as the sun rose to spread its glorious golden shafts of light over the misty valley. "Groog, why do you assume this woman is The Woman Who Hunts just because she has told you a story and because she is able to speak properly? My people are very numerous in the south and we combine caves to hunt, sometimes we have as many as fifty people involved in a hunt and that takes careful planning when you have that many people involved." He saw the lion attacking his father and ran to stop the attack but the lion just swatted him away." The one who had been First among the Zelandonia, and now walked the spirit world, had been dead for more than a full moon. It's hard to believe that Clan people cook this way. She was grateful to the strong solidly built man. Ayla would not show any fear. She actually trades them for goods and services," Ayla said proudly. What have you decided to name your pup? ", Doroban grinned, "I'm surprised you can find the time to perform missions during your time away. "Willamar?" "I'm glad," Ayla smiled at the old man. But it kept growing - and it was at this point Auel realised the saga fell neatly into six books. It just seemed to happen when she needed guidance. "Listen Jonayla, I would like to start over with you. ", Ayla signed in reply, "Not well Groog, I wish to ask for your assistance. Then a Shaman came into their midst who had strange fangs and looked terrible and he had a powerful warrior by his side and the Shaman called himself Skytalker. Willamar watched Marthona's grandson gallop away. This went on for some time with the herd stopping and then moving away again as the three strange horses kept walking toward them. Jonayla swallowed her frustration and sat upon Gray, gritting her teeth and waiting for events to unfold. "At the very least we need to understand what is happening north of the river before heading into the fray. All of the children loved the story telling and Durcan was no exception. he asked. He watched as another and then another mounted Donier appeared. As they stepped through the curving passage into the pillar room, pure golden light dazzled their eyes. Camma suggested they turn in - to many groans of disappointment - in order to get an early start in the morning. Ayla moved in front of the large angry man to shield the unconscious form lying on the pole-drag. The food, in rawhide containers, were placed on top of the grass-mat shroud covering his body. She jumped up, telling her mother that she would gather some more firewood, and left the campsite with a bounce in her step. His mother's mother had been forced by a man of the Others and had taken his spirt. Joharran called out, "Brukeval, you have a lot to answer for. She made the formal Clan introductions, verbally to Joharran, while signing for the benefit of her Clan guests, then explained what had happened while he'd been away. A meeting was held in the Zelandoni lodge. "The older brother was delighted. It was at that moment she heard a gasp from behind her and looked around at the prostrate man. Jonayla blurted out, "But father, this is my home, the only place I've ever lived. 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. Now she wondered why she had ever thought that. They had been performing the daily tasks of working hides, grinding grains and carving utensils, but now set them aside as Dula sat down with them to tell them about her adventures. Finally, the Fifth took his place in the ring of Doniers, gesturing for the Donier from the Seventh Cave to stand and speak. Other openings just had hide coverings. That is, if her mother would allow her Acolyte to be away long enough to make the journey there and back and also time enough for a brief stay. He was also pleased at the obvious tension that his listeners were exhibiting. It was hard to make out what they were saying. All he knew was that he liked being near her and he felt deep down inside that he would risk his life for her if she ever needed him to. The boy must have hit his head. ", Just then Dula stepped from behind Trivodan and signed to Ayla that she would finish the infusion and give it to Jondalar. Because the Clan's form of communication was dependent on subtle nuance and on barely perceptible changes in expression, gesture and posture, one who was familiar with it, could discern the subtlest reactions in another, where any Zelandonii or Chimu, for that matter, wouldn't notice a thing. The two boys mounted their horses and trotted away from the meadow. Even during her Acolyte training she hadn't been asked to explain it. Ayla woke before dawn, roused by the small noises that Shura made as she left her furs to begin the day. Jonayla commented on the tea, it was a delightful mix of dried and crushed basil licorice leaves and linden flower. Dula opened the flap of her otter pouch and withdrew a small lump wrapped in leather and tied with three backward knots. Still running, Mageb passed the grazing herd, barely disturbing their tranquility. Camma wished them a good night's sleep, and with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, she left them alone and returned to her own place within the cave. But the previous First Zelandoni who lived at the Ninth Cave saw things in her that convinced her that she should be of the Zelandonia and I believe she was right.". Groog kept silent, he would have to be very careful, he thought to himself. It was late afternoon by then and their trek was almost done for the day. "You set everything up? "This winter we'll redo the dwelling your parents have given us. And since there are more caves in the north, the Summer Meetings would only be held in the south once every five summers, unless suitable areas in the south can be found that would allow more than that without depleting the natural resources required to sustain the people for the duration of a Summer Meeting. "We have the right amount of people, but I don't know if you can ride well enough yet to be able to herd wild horses into a surround. Again Jondalar had stayed by her side through the night, even after she had assured him she was recuperating. She guessed they were storage containers filled with gathered grains for the horses. "Yes, it will help me too," Ayla said as she turned back to her tasks. Ayla's tears flowed freely. She looked at Cambarre, who flushed. Camma remained silent and watched the Zelandoni leader. "With each wave, the water came less inland than before, but by the time it was done, there was nothing left for as far as the eye could see north and south along the shore. He felt freshened and relaxed. A man who seemingly hadn't been there before. Hover to zoom. These screens were blocking his view, but also blocking out those Others who had been so rude. Ayla asked. Cambarre, knowing three would be too many for a hunt suggested that he would stay in camp and work on repairing their travel tent, the one that had been his but that he now shared with Jonayla. "I haven't had a tea like this before. "Mother?" "I didn't realize it was such an important thing to them. Tonight she wanted to make a special meal, their first as a mated couple. 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. "I gave a firestone to Dula and to your mate, Brog, and I showed them how to make the spark. "Thank you Zelandoni," she said, trying to smile. The spear itself had been placed beside the Zelandoni lodge openly on display. "To test her submissiveness, Atta commanded Armuna to go with his personal guards and pleasure them, which she did. The only reason we walked this time was to maintain the Mog-ur's dignity. Jonayla assured her mother they could break through the dense southern edge of forest before dark if they left soon. He was facing Ayla, but his eyes weren't really focused on anything or anyone. She needed his closeness as reassurance. There was a time once when I wandered the earth without any family at all, which makes me appreciate family more than most. Jondalar had wondered what Ayla meant by 'prepare herself' but hadn't asked. The Summer Meeting was held near the Nineteenth Cave when he left and since no one ever saw him again, it would make sense. We're located in the town of Julian, California, just outside of San Diego. You see one thing on the surface, but there is more than meets the eye below the depths. ", "No, not Wolf, there was only one Wolf. I think we can put a few stitches here and there to make this fit you perfectly and I can hardly wait until people see you in it.". Voices were raised, first in challenge, then in excited welcome. Both children were still of the hearth, but Bran was only a season away from manhood and remained silent with big brown eyes that followed his father's every move. There was movement from higher up the hill. Ayla could hardly believe it. What has it gained you?" It is close by the Summer Meeting, yet a place where we will not be disturbed by the daily tasks imposed upon us by everyday life. We are so grateful to you First Zelandoni. ", "She was gone, practicing riding one of those horses she traded your daughter for and even if she had been there, what could she do? Ayla's eyes misted for a moment as she thought about Uba and wondered what sort of Medicine Woman she had turned out to be. Even though he'd been weakened by his rough handling by those men in the north, she was pretty sure he could fend off more than one Zelandonii man at a time if he wanted to. As the adult members of the boy's Lodge disappeared around a rock outcropping in the distance, Rubio heard a shout of warning from Jamicon, another boy who had been assigned to announce the processions arrival. Doesn't that seem right; don't you think that this is a sign?". There seems to be so much to do. I heard that you and your mate humiliated the Shaman in front of everyone. They knew which way was north by the moss on trees and by a bright star that shone through the tree canopy from time to time that was always in the north at night. She wanted to relax a little bit before returning to the hustle and bustle of the Summer Meeting. "I guess showing up out of the blue with a small wolf pup is unusual. Do you understand me Jondalar?". "But to hunt them like animals is not acceptable and it could end up causing violence south of the river if they decide to take revenge.". I can't help but feel hesitant; it's all a bit overwhelming to me. She hobbled Summer Child and laid some dried grass brought from Hilltop Holding within easy reach while Jondalar did the same for his horse. I have to be back at the Ninth Cave in five days for a meeting with the southern Doniers. "Ayla!" I don't want him to be alone with all that's going on and I can't stay with him myself. With the passage of time, Creb and Iza grow close to Ayla as she learns the way of living of the Clan people. "Well, we need to find her family, don't you think? Cambarre was a lucky man to have her daughter's love. We don't have your memories and we become lost on the other side.". It will also be easier to hunt game, since the animals won't be as harassed as they normally are with smaller hunts all summer long. It was but a few minutes before they were inspecting the other images and galleries in the cave. I assume you brought him here to tell us what he knows about the conflict in the north. Then they were moving another direction and suddenly Groog was brought through a curtained opening and set down on the ground. If the First Zelandoni hadn't removed him from the pit, I'm sad to admit that he might have died. I was mortified that I had made the mistake, but when he recovered I was elated. Jonayla slowly led the colt out and handed the lead rope to Camma. Is she feeling at home among the Zelandonii?" He looked up into gray-blue eyes, and then noticed the Donier mark on the left side of her forehead. 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. She shuddered at the thought of that period. "The Sacred Mountain" begins ten years after Jean's final book and is my version of where a seventh book might have led. Something like this was only known from legends. It is still a very popular story in our part of the world and there are many variations on the theme. They laughed companionably and turned to the outfit laid out before them. Who better to sort out this trouble in the north between the Clan and our Zelandonii brethren? I'm glad you can see that too," she said, feeling grateful to him for his open-minded attitude. Brukeval stood over Ayla, who had complied with his command to sit on the ground, and looked down at her with moist eyes. What was happening to her mother? I don't see what we have to talk about," Jonayla said with a disparaging edge to her voice. ", "I see," Jonayla said. He had taken up with an old lover, that woman Marona. He had a high forehead, much like ours, but he also had some of his father's features. But on this day, the hearth fire was lit and earthenware lamps glowed around the walls. "I'm glad that you feel contributing to the people is important, I only hope that you'll become mated to a good man and take the time to have children of your own. After cleaning the man's chest wound, Ayla quickly checked on her daughter's care of the unconscious man. Voices began to rise as the heavy red dyed Mammoth hide drape was drawn over the inner chamber's entrance. Dula signed to Mog-ur that she would speak if he would allow it and he nodded his consent. Ralev's troupe has been telling stories about you and father and your journey along The Great Mother River. It was here that Durcan almost stepped on the wolf. The Chimu now had six horses, assuming they could keep them fed through the winter. Finally he turned away, not wanting to admit that her staring eyes had made him look away. My father told them that there was food aplenty in the interior, but that it would be on four legs instead of with fins. Manvelar was still in the lead with Ayla and Jondalar right behind him as they turned the final bend in the trail to see a group of people moving in and out of the cave, with others sitting by the outside hearth with a fire burning in it. That is the man I wish to speak to," Groog replied. ''I can't even guarantee that,'' Auel admits. Ayla tapped him on the arm and signed, "They are to your left. He had never been asked his opinion by a leader before and just nodded his agreement. Some woman standing behind Ayla commented, "That one is beautiful. The thought doesn't make me feel relaxed. Ayla had been sitting close to the Lanzadonii hunter eagerly taking in all his words. Putting those thoughts aside, she looked down at the man of the Others. Have you decided what you're going to call this little one? It had been an upsetting day and night and the stress of the capture and threats and then the death of a man on top of her like that made her shiver with the shock of it. With so many people to organize, it won't be an early start no matter how ready we might be," Ayla replied. I didn't know what to think when I saw just your head above water. Offer him a like service since caring for nine horses is a bit of work. Her mate is a lucky man to have such an attractive woman.". In the Clan, only the leader makes a decision that could put his hunters in danger.". It is true that there was one bad man in the group of people who saved my life and brought me up. After the men were out of sight he rose and headed out at a trot to catch up with his men and that fool Madroman. "Lorala." What made this tallest mountain special was what it held within. Ayla insisted when the others said he deserved no such respect. "That was quite a response," Cambarre said. "Very well," the Donier agreed. ", "Within the hour. Even a very young wolf would be intimidating to anyone who wasn't expecting to see one in their midst. Sacred Mountain has three unique, outdoor event spaces for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
