She was also determined to meet with the northern Zelandonia more often. "How are your people recovering now?" "One day two apparitions materialized in the valley below their camp. "Tell me, will they do something about these people who are killing my people? "That reminds me, I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier, but I have been so busy getting settled in the storyteller's lodge that I almost forgot. The sacred site wasn't visited very often, but with the death of the First Zelandoni it would be the place where the replacement would be decided upon. Ayla hadn't wanted to hear that unrest in the north between the Clan and her adopted Zelandonii was becoming a problem. Jonayla asked. "Daughter, would you get some of the dried marigold petals and comfrey from my medicine bag?". Jondalar's musings were interrupted as Ayla said, "There, I'm done." He would stay with this female Mog-ur and learn what she could teach him of the Others. Then he realized what his small group must look like; their First Zelandoni was naked to the waist and had a bandaged shoulder, her left side was smeared with blood, her leggings soaked in the boy's blood, and she was holding a Clan spear covered with dried blood. Ayla dismounted in one smooth motion and ran into the old man's open arms. Ulla had begun to treat her as a wise old aunt and a few of the other children had adopted her as a person of interest. Will you be able to?" He understood the Mog-ur's grief. "I was eventually forced out of the Clan by the same man who had attacked me. Now that help had arrived, she left her child and knelt beside her mate in tears. "Mog-ur," Ayla continued. Ayla assured Cambarre that her daughter's birthing time had gone well and Jonayla had only had contractions for a normal period of time and furthermore this easy birth foretold they would have more children in the future. Many of her readers say they have reread the series over and over again in order to re-live the "Ayla" experience. He knew that fool Camma would form a friendship with Ayla, he knew that they were much alike. I can't say how grateful I am to her. ", "Yes," Cambarre agreed. The Clan people would not feel fulfilled, they can't understand the concept. It is alright to make them burst into a gallop, but only when they have no place to go other than into the surround.". Ayla stopped for a moment as she pulled a small pouch from her things. And our most unusual Zelandoni, who is one of the youngest and most inexperienced Doniers to ever put herself forward as leader, I'm sure she might be a fine example to us all.". When the Clan Mog-ur gave Ayla the spear, he told her it carried protective spirits. She said she was going to Hilltop Holding to see if she could find out about the rumors of unrest and then to the Sacred White Cave to pray for Wolf, to help him find his way to the Spirit World," the young boy said. ", "Yes, I didn't mean to speak out of turn about your time with the Clan. And when we have heard what there is to hear, send them out to look, but send two of the most experienced men to the two caves nearest us and repeat the story and ask that their hunters search their surroundings for the female Mog-ur's daughter and if her man is with her they both need to be brought here.". He and most of the men to be mated that afternoon were gathered in one of the emptied fa'lodges to dress after their individual purifications. She was looking up and directly into his large brown Clan eyes. He'd never met any of the Zelandonia personally before. Most of the people went to work right away setting up their summer lodges and circles of stones for individual cooking fires. He refused to include himself, at least in his private thoughts. Is this acceptable to you?". As the third bullroarer started, Ayla said to everyone in their group, "Do not fear what you will see or hear, it is an illusion and cannot hurt you. As the group reached the edge of the thick forest Ayla took charge. But Jondalar just kept sinking deeper into fever and his flesh was melting away almost before her eyes. I had been alone for years and years before Jondalar came to me. "You know, it's a good thing that you came to us when you did Zelandoni. They were casting spells at each other and suddenly our old Shaman clutched his chest and fell over dead. ", "It is nearly unbelievable that you would be the first people we run into. My father took another woman as a mate and we were a family again. He knew the marks were those of the Mog-ur special ceremony even before she had completed them, and he was stunned. Willamar watched Marthona's grandson gallop away. 'As worn as a robust, attractive woman in the prime of life could look,' Cambarre thought. The last two Ayla had known since her very first Summer Meeting with the Zelandonii when they had trailed behind Whinney holding up the pole-drag as they crossed the streams and rivers. Cambarre called out as Jonayla ran to her horse, pulling her clothing back into place - tears blurring her vision. Ayla looked up at Ralev with a worried expression that changed into a determined one. [13] The sixth and final book in the series, The Land of Painted Caves, was published in 2011. he responded playfully. This is the way of the Clan. World Central Kitchen, Your Email (optional - only if you want a reply ). He could see they were giving him their full attention so he continued, "That may be true, that anyone could have done that, but can you see yourself bringing up a male cave lion? he demanded. Ayla turned to look at the young man, and he looked back at her. She could imagine the closeness her daughter would have felt for the handsome young man who had rescued her from the violence that she'd been subjected to by the renegade men. Groog stared. When I first met Brukeval, right after my arrival at the Ninth Cave, I was surprised and delighted to see him. Jonayla took her pup into the tent with Cambarre that night; Durcan took his black wolf pup into his tent. She still out does anyone else when planning a feast," Ayla said with true admiration. Jonayla asked mystified by her childhood friend's sadness. He could tell it was her recipe from the peppery fragrance. "Groog, do you know that my mother is holding a meeting with the leaders from other caves and will be talking about the violence in the north?" Has Jean Auel retired from writing this series or is there another in the works? As First, she felt that to create a close association between the northern and southern caves would make the Zelandonii people stronger and their society more stable in times of need. In that time Matagan had completely recovered, his wound had healed without the heat of illness. He knew it could be done," Cambarre concluded. This would end now and he would be able to turn away when she missed and speak to her no more. You're the woman I want. There was dried flesh and bits of hair clinging to some of them. In the silence that followed Ralev's statement, you could have heard a feather drop. Ayla understood that Joharran was having doubts, she wouldn't have believed it either until she ran in to the situation personally. Looking at the merry little campfire before them that reflected light into her amazingly blue eyes, he felt happy and satisfied with life. As she stood in the morning light, she felt the need to put on her deer-hide tunic. It depends on what happens in the future. You look like both of your parents, that's why I recognized you, even though I didn't know why.". It's most unusual," the Donier of the Fifth Cave concluded. Some did so because they felt guilty at what they had done, and others because they never thought to see the Mother Spirit in life. In the light of day Ayla could tell that the Clan man was young, maybe the age of her own Clan son Durc would be now. This ceremony would just be a confirmation of their relationships. Brog became quiet as they reached the open valley that traditionally marked the boundary between the Others and the Clan. I only knew Durc until he had turned five summers, but I could tell even then that he was my son. After all, he was a man of the Clan and a brave hunter, wasn't he? ", "He is at the site working. Finally, the Fifth took his place in the ring of Doniers, gesturing for the Donier from the Seventh Cave to stand and speak. The listeners didn't stir at this addition to the story telling, they sat absorbed in the unfolding drama. What can I do for you Rubio?" Then the Mother told the S'Armunai people that so long as they kept the law, they would prosper, but if they did wrong again she would not forgive them a second time. Maybe she could convince him to give himself up, maybe there was a chance that he would change enough to regret what he'd done? I'd had it bookmarked for literally years when I stumbled across it two nights ago and decided to give it a shot. He tried to cover his shock, by asking as casually as he could, "Why would Creb teach a young girl counting words?". Dawn broke over the mountain late, the bulk of the peak blocking the early morning rays. He knew to show fear to this man would be a mistake. Normally he would have consciously diverted his eyes but this was beyond anything 'normal'. Coming to a narrow spot he called out, "I bring friends to see our leader!" "I'm from the Twenty-Ninth Cave South Face," Artibon said. That's what she expected to happen and she was prepared to deal with it. Ayla realized that for the first time since Wolf's death, she felt acceptance, a feeling of calm, as if this was what needed to be done. When it was Jonayla and Cambarre's turn, they clasped hands, her right hand in his left as they stepped forward. To Madroman, in his shock at her attack on his men, it had appeared to be magic. She made the men build a stockade, made from pointed logs anchored solidly in the ground and she kept all the men in this prison, treating them very poorly indeed. ", "Ah," the man smiled, "very astute. She takes on too much, too quickly. She knew it wasn't working for her at that moment and doubted anyone else who was a candidate this day would be relaxed by the traditional process. Is this true or was she mistaken?". Ayla noticed his surprise and explained that her people used Clan signs when they hunted so they wouldn't startle their prey, that Joharran couldn't really speak his language at any length. Apparently they had drawn straws for the right to go first in what would be a long night of torment for Jonayla. He could not see a spearthrower, a knife or any other weapon. 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. From time to time the young people would direct their horses to an outcropping of rock or copse of trees to investigate. So had the man and his family, the compensation he had to pay for his violent actions had been ruinously high. I admit that I wasn't serious about becoming a Zelandoni before The White Cave, but since then, I have never looked back. Would the Zelandoni insist that Star stay? Jondalar had named their son Durcan to honor her sacrifice when she returned with him to his people in the west. Maybe you should take a swim in the lake to wake up.". Auel attended the University of Portland. The twelve Zelandonia and their Acolytes were kept busy with the planning and implementation of the first Matrimonial and the newer, but just as important, puberty rituals that had taken the place of the Doni opening ceremonies for both the young women and young men. I know everyone thinks I'm not interested in having a mate; it isn't that, it's that I don't want just any man's child. "Of course not, so long as you name me as the child's close relative. I didn't mean to do anything to upset you.". What a fool he'd been, he had been rehashing old memories while his enemy had advanced so close that he was in jeopardy of being discovered. The Second Cave had been reoccupied, but many from there had heard about the visiting Zelandonii and had come to see and hear them. Then waited for a response and when none came she realized that going forward was the only option open to her. Groog was signing very fast now, his emotions rising to the surface. She had also heard her call out the question and had seen the Fifth point her out. "All I know is what I've seen and I'm pretty sure that Brukeval and his bunch are the cause of the troubles. Who didn't? His mind was suddenly brought back to the present when he heard a voice very near. I think Melodene experienced a hard life before and after her mate's death, and Willamar shows her respect and loving care." These new ceremonies were - in the case of the women - secret initiation rituals that stopped short of the old "opening" ceremonies that used to be a woman's coming of age event. She spoke in meter as if she lived the words that spilled from her lips, as if they were spoken by another, a more powerful being than her mortal self. Ayla looked behind her to see Jondalar sitting astride his horse with Durcan beside him on Lightning, his pony. You see that opening in the bushes? 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. I am the only one who has used it and it is not a traditional medicine. Folrian gave him an exasperated look then rose to her feet and left, unnoticed by the men caught up in their discussion. And when it is over she will make time to talk with you.". ', "The old man squinted his eyes at the young man, not sure what to make of him, but finally said, 'You should walk to the top of that crest,' the old man pointed to raised ground in the distance, 'where that tall dead tree stands you will find a cave in the hillside. 'Why did it seem that they only heard what they wanted to hear?' It was good to be home. "If you want that man as your mate you may have to tell him. There might be someone at First Place who would help him escape and she was certain that no one from the Clan could be suspected of sympathy for the false shaman. The rest of Iza's Neanderthal clan accept the strange creature in their midst to varying degrees. Durcan was doubly embarrassed now, knowing Willamar was smiling because of Folrian's kiss.

She explained that it was a family favorite when all the ingredients were available, which was the case at this time of year. That thought made her think again about her daughter's impending children. The Mother was with her, she was certain of it. Let them ride back and tell their stories. In the past, Summer Meetings were a way to gather as many hunters together as possible while game was plentiful and to store as much dried meat and grains as could be collected during good weather. Are you both alright?" It shouldn't be very long." Building her herd of horses, being an Acolyte of the Zelandonia, her love for Cambarre and having more children were all priorities for Jonayla. ", Jondalar smiled, "You are something more than an ordinary female Ayla. Durcan rose from his crouch and walked into the open, still holding his sling in one hand and the reins of his horse, Lightning, in the other. ", "Yes First Zelandoni, everyone is prepared for a long meeting. Looking directly into her eyes, he answered, "Jonayla, I've never been happier than I am now. "I think we should sleep now," he said. In those moments it also became apparent to him that he probably should have brought up the subject of her Clan son in a more private place. Ayla just smiled and reached out to rest her arm on her daughter's shoulders as they returned to their men. It had worked in the past, but it didn't seem to be working now. We feel that this way we can honor them and keep their memories alive. "I'm looking forward to having a baby in the family again. But even that turned out to be a lucky event. He put the bowl into his boat and rowed out to sea with it to where the village fishermen were hauling in their catch of fish. "If I'd wanted to kill him his head would be split open. "It's a wounded wolf pup daughter. "I have returned from the Others and have much to tell you," Groog signed. "Zelandoni!"
