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. It's almost as if fate was urging you to stay with us," Ayla smiled again, reminding Ralev of a story he'd decided to develop about a woman with a beautiful smile. she asked Camma. Ayla was finishing up Summer Child's curry as the aroma of meat grilling on the cooking fire reached her. Jonayla took her place sitting across from Groog so that he could see her talk in sign to interpret what the others in the room said. Ayla asked her daughter if she had given Cambarre the news yet. 32. It wasn't natural to have to deal with a female Mog-ur and he resented it. I love you like a sister, not like a mate. The Zelandonii made camp where they were. Between the sight of blood and the scent of cave lion, Summer Child was nearly frantic with fear. There was an awkward few moments while everyone stood and looked at each other. The Clan medicine woman, whose name was, 'Dula', looked up at the female from the Others who was standing beside her. She had been looking for more of the fungus ever since her initial success, but so far had not been able to find any that looked and smelled the same. Either way, they would be separated from The River and would have to be sure to site their camps close to water sources. The herd was uneasy and moved away from them, but they were not so frightened that they would gallop away. The light of dawn didn't help the scene of destruction, but as the light strengthened they were able to find utensils that had been scattered and reparable pieces of gear that could be salvaged. He walked into the water to stand next to her and asked for the lump of soap. Make them understand that if they do we will respond to their incursion. She missed Cambarre's presence, even though she would be seeing him again in the morning. "You are mated. ", "It's true, time usually does, but if you have a calling, don't worry, when the time is right, you will know," Ayla said to reassure the young man. There were some calls of support. I assume you brought him here to tell us what he knows about the conflict in the north. As she mounted Gray, Jonayla looked back at the herd and waved, "Thank you! What if she would want them back before she leaves? "You're right of course," Ayla said. Jonayla asked. But did it really matter? The other girls seemed frivolous compared to her. The contrast of cool water and Cambarre's warm body was pleasurable to Jonayla and she settled back in the crook of Cambarre's arm, relaxing for the first time since her capture by Brukeval. You have caused the death of people, both of the Clan and the Chimu, so it will be up to their leaders what happens to you. It would be best if one of your leaders came back with me to discuss what it is you need from my people." Even though he knew it was rude to do so. What more must she do to prove her power to you? Jonayla knew that something was on her mother's mind, something more than just the meeting. She knew exactly what she had to say and felt complete calm as she stood in front of the others. There are still those in the south who think they will not have a full voice if they continue to tie themselves to the northern caves. Maybe he should get away while he could. Cambarre, quickly undressed and, taking his bloody tunic into the water with him, also submerged his body into the cool clear water. ", "You asked me that once before, remember? 6. His plan was to get in front of them and then to yell and wave his spear in one hand and strips of hide in the other and then run toward the animals. I didn't want to add to your distress and I hoped the hunters I sent to search would have found them by now and brought them back," Joharran said. He felt the blood drain from his face and goose bumps rise. We could stay at the guest hearth. Then recomposing herself, she took his roaming hand in hers and held it. "What is happening? It was all up to The Great Earth Mother as to who was chosen to walk the Spirit World and who would remain with the living. Jean Marie Auel, ne Untinen (born February 18, 1936 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American writer. Why do you think the Mother would bless him?". Both older men caught their breath and wide-eyed they looked up at each other. Has Jean Auel retired from writing this series or is there another in the works? Ayla hoped that he would support her. It might have been that she looked nervous or it could have been a brief look of hatred in her eyes. Give me pure, fine, white salt.'. Ayla was watching him as she lay beside him. "I don't think we have much choice but to trust these people who have come from the south. Ayla felt that it was important to personally invite them to the Ninth Cave for a meeting to take place in two days' time. "Let's go for a swim," she croaked. She smiled at her daughter, to soften her words. Without your help we might have lost people to an ambush and certainly would not have found First Place and Camma as easily as we did." "This is my mate. Groog looked at the female Mog-ur with growing respect. They finished their tea. As Ralev's voice stilled, the flute and drum faded away. Groog says there is someone ahead to the left! ", "Yes, but she will know that I'm out looking for you because I told Joharran that when I left camp yesterday," Cambarre replied, trying to calm her fears. "Yes, and we have the Clan to thank for it," Ayla said. Move now or I will kill you!" I do not understand how you would know Creb of the eastern Clans. "It looks good, you did a good job on the carvings, but I'm not sure that just any carving makes it a Maga Spear.". They expect hidden things to be going on around them all the time, they suspect that anything unexplained is a trick of the eye, or that they just are unable to see the process, as in this pool of water. "Zelandoni!" Soon Ayla and Jondalar were lost in the other works that were so expertly done. He gripped his hunting spear, knuckles turning white as he thought about attacking her. Though he was physically unable to hunt, it hadn't slowed him down. "It was her wish to keep back some of the fungus. ", Cambarre was relieved that she wasn't upset about his past relations with Marilla. Now she was going to be a mother of a mother at thirty-six summers? "Willamar?" I mean the Zelandoni of the White Cave will do as I ask and allow us to place Wolf's essence in the Sacred White Cave. "Jondalar, I think you will be up and around in a few days, so I will leave you in Dula's care for the moment and attend this meeting. Jonayla had remained quiet and called out. Seeing her daughter dressed for a Matrimonial Ceremony like this made Ayla feel nostalgic. I don't.". She is best known for her Earth's Children books, a series of historical fiction novels set in prehistoric Europe that explores interactions of Cro-Magnon people with Neanderthals. I've seen it, but it probably hasn't been cared for all that well, not as well as you would have done. "Yes, young Acolyte, I will support your mother. Tell all our hunters that men of the Clan are our friends in this. I've fought everyone going back to my earliest memories to prove that I'm human and not some kind of unthinking animal. To help us make an important choice at a critical time. The two injured hunters weren't used to women, especially attractive Zelandonii women, treating flatheads like people. The Clan was full of people who were different from Ayla in all aspects. Ayla could understand the attraction that her daughter felt. "Yes. There was still Marilla waiting for him at Gather Field. I wanted to listen to your stories. ", "What?" There seems to be so much to do. There was an ancient look reflected in this Mog-ur's eyes, the look of someone who had experienced the other side. The flame flared up brightly as if extra fuel had been added. She looked strange and exotic but she acted like a Clan female and could talk like a normal Clan woman. I've heard that a lion's claws can be fatal, if the wound is deep," she said. ", "You have a man of the Clan here? The prostrate man was startled, looking around at the tall blonde man of the Others approaching him. She worried that what she was doing would not work, that she'd gotten it wrong, but deep down inside she knew that this was the best care anyone could give. I wanted to personally request your attendance Denanna and yours too Zelandoni," she nodded with respect to the old man. Book Description #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this, the extraordinary conclusion of the ice-age epic series, Earth's Children, Ayla, Jondalar, and . Let us start with the candidate who has been a Donier the longest." Ayla, knowing her daughter's mind, volunteered Jonayla to ride north to let the Chimu people know of their decision before the first snow fall. In fact, mother, how is it that you had this with you? But then she realized that if the Mother wanted her wolf, she couldn't resist Her. Ayla shouted, placing stones in her sling and swinging it blindingly fast. "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. It was strange how much better she felt just by drinking water at the First Zelandoni's command. "Thank you mother, that was a good story and I see what you mean." Chandalar spoke up first, "I was there just a couple of days ago and although it is in good shape the gate barrier is closed. "Yes, I'm also glad that you saw that. Rubio realized that during the entire time, not one of the others with this Zelandoni had uttered a word or, it seemed, had made a noise of any kind. Ayla looked at those sitting around the Zelandonia dwelling, catching the eyes of each. Ayla was unable to stop herself from a noisy confirmation of Jondalar's vigorous efforts as her body convulsed around his massive manhood, a part of him that had always been a perfect fit for her, something that Jondalar had always been grateful for. When she was instructed to pull him from under his arms, she shivered for a moment; he looked very dangerous. ", Jonayla knew his last remark was a tease and replied, "Please check well Cambarre but when the food is ready, I am eating it while it's still hot.". They both looked around at the profusion of paintings both complete and in progress. Before they truly knew each other, when Jondalar was first told that she had given birth to a Clan baby, the look of loathing and disgust in his eyes had almost destroyed her. Let us talk of Madroman. He looked like a human weasel, shifty eyes and ingratiating smile. It was over. After all, he could satisfy his urges any time he wanted to with any number of other women. As Ayla entered the lodge, the Zelandoni gathered around in open curiosity. Once up, they broke camp quickly and ate travel cakes while mounted on their horses, moving on before the sun had even crested the surrounding hills. Just get down and hold Lightning's halter and soothe him, he's as frightened as you are." Ayla, with eyes shining, repeated the ceremonial chant that would unite these two who were dearer to her than life itself. If they try to escape by crossing our valley, we are to capture them and bring them back here, uninjured if possible, to be held with their leader. The only thing holding her up was the strong hands that gripped hers so tightly. Don't leave me here to be murdered by these animals!". He quickly added, so as not to offend, "Other than the artistic value of course. If there were more like her, it was a sign that Ursus favored these Others, maybe even to the point that they were favored over the Clan. I'm not sure that I could ever love another wolf like I did Wolf, but I wouldn't mind having one around if you decide to find one of your own.". She explained what it took to become a Zelandoni and that the First Zelandoni was the voice, instrument, and surrogate of The Great Earth Mother, or as he knew it, Ursus, the Sacred Cave Bear of the Clan. NOW! What he'd just heard from Durcan - spoken as if it were nothing unusual - was so strange he wasn't even sure he understood what had been said. "Zelandoni!" Ayla had known before at some level that the two had become a couple. After trying several false trails, father and son gave up and retraced their path, riding back to Reflection Rock then up the slope to the ridge trail. "Please, let him be for the moment. "We need to be careful not to frighten them so much as to make them frantic. The Chimu spoke a recognizable language that most of the Zelandonii could understand, once they got past the accent, but by having Melodene with them they would more easily be able to find those they were searching for. An example of that was when our First Zelandoni killed a cave lion with one just a short while ago. The couple thrashed through the forest, headlong, getting scratched and bruised as they went. It didn't really matter that they had seen him. Cambarre had seen her call her horse this way in the past but doubted after what had taken place the night before that any horse would have stayed around. Auel's subsequent novels - The Valley of Horses (1982), The Mammoth Hunters (1985), The Plains of Passage (1990) and The Shelters of Stone (2002) - continue Ayla's search for ''the Others'' (fellow Cro-Magnons or humans); her love affair with Jondalar on the plains of the Ukraine; their journey along the Danube River and their arrival in Jondalar's homeland, the painted caves of southern France. It is our obligation to do our best to choose the right individual. Jonayla was already calculating what she would need to prepare for that journey and looking forward to showing off her little one to the friends she would not have seen over the winter. Then they heard men crashing around in the forest searching for Jonayla. Does he fare well?". Now it was up to Jondalar, he would recover or he would not. "We have learned a hard lesson, but with the Zelandonii's help we will come through this and be stronger for it, and, I might add, a less gullible people in the future.". Don't forget to prop them up on stones, so they can easily be lifted from the ground. From the look on both of their faces it was too late to try to suggest any alternatives. "Be calm. They must understand that she was not just a submissive female who had no power to effect change. Since I knew how to make the memories drink, Creb asked me to make the draught for the ceremony.". You know the Clan better than anyone else, while at the same time, you're one of us. My brother and I found Durc at the corral. They have their own way of expressing themselves and it is different than our way, but not necessarily inferior to our way. 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. Earth's Children were blessed. Ayla had always considered Marthona's mate as a father figure. No one else living has ever had that honor or that burden. Mother! What is happening Father?". It is an honor to speak your name in friendship," Ayla replied, using the correct formula for such an occasion. Ayla spent most of the evening during the welcome feast fending off questions. Ayla looked into the hearth fire, remembering Iza, the Clan Medicine Woman, her only remembered mother figure. Only this very morning her biggest worry had been her son's unhappiness at having to return to the Summer Meeting early. In addition to their belongings, they were bringing back more winter stores than ever before. As the Zelandoni chant rose in the background once again, she wrapped the mating thong around their wrists twice, then tied the knot. Then the First Zelandoni happened by and helped with the care of these men. Ayla was looking at a man who had been inside the beast. ", "I see," Jonayla said. Still, I need to talk to him about this." ", "Mother!" ", Ayla continued, "Will you respect her and care for her and the children she brings to your hearth?". If he hadn't grounded his spear and used it to hold himself upright he might have fallen, as humiliating as that would have been. He'd seen these Others riding horses a few times before, but always from a great distance. At this close range he could see something deep within her eyes, something ancient, almost primeval; not all-together human he decided and recoiled. This all came out in a rush of words as if it had been pent-up for some time. "Durc is a young boy, you're an adult and an Acolyte. But first I need to prepare for the visit," she said, as she slipped from Summer Child's back. And I too thank you for saving our daughter from those mad men.". "It had been a terribly hard birthing. 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. It was stretched onto a wooden curing frame and he was scraping the underside with a smooth-edged stone to keep the hide supple. I want him to think of you as a friend, it will help me if you do this." ", Jonayla was interested despite having been forced to stay with him. Do you understand me Jondalar?". "Is there anyone who objects to the union with the southern caves?". Is this true? Now that you are First Zelandoni? The woman scrambled to her feet and ran to a collapsed tent structure and rummaged around under it. We had to have some sort of distraction because there were just too many of them for me to take on alone," Cambarre said, looking at Jonayla's blood spattered body. They had turned in early because they would be up by dawn the following day to prepare for their departure to the north. One of the Acolytes behind the Donier from the south sniggered at this remark, believing that the blonde Zelandoni had dealt herself a damaging blow by asking for support after having been so dismissive the day before. Even if I don't become First Zelandoni, maybe I can influence the person who does.". Just then, through her misery and fear, she heard a commotion from outside the cave. You're a member of the Ninth Cave and can stay if you want to.". They would never forget this summer. Ayla looked at the young man gratefully and replied, "Thank you Kimadar, your help is welcome. He suggested they corral and unburden their horses and waited until they had, then led them into one of the many caves. Ayla could see the confusion in the man's eyes as he looked around the campsite, noting the horses and the travel gear spread out for their night's stay. ", Ayla signed in reply, "Not well Groog, I wish to ask for your assistance. She could hear her parents sharing pleasures in the dark. Jean M. Auel Books Overview The Clan of the Cave Bear This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love. Now that our southern Zelandonii have begun to attend the Summer Meetings we've decided to hold the Matrimonial Feasts at the summer lodges where the newly mated couples will live because there are just too many people to hold one large feast as was done in the past. "I see some foals," Camma said, even more excited now. Adding to the warning, he roared loudly, imitating the sound of a cave lion. I must look frightening," she replied as she looked down at herself. You have brought more to the Zelandonii people than anyone I can think of in my sixty summers on this earth. "Yes, counting words. Do you remember Melodene? Reading this book was like re-connecting with old friends. I have been unanimously chosen by the Zelandonia as First Zelandoni! Jonayla had no such reservation though. That is exactly why I need you to attend the meeting. "Mog-ur, what truly convinces me is that she reminds me of you. How could you think I would remain silent when people ridiculed them?". She didn't seem like any female he'd ever encountered. Jonayla even asked if she could join him on his next day's hunt. Jonayla rose to her feet and signaled Cambarre forward. I'm old and you're young, but at least I can give you a place to stay and offer you protection. He'd been there most of the day and now the sun was low on the horizon. I hope so. The only real question I have about this change in meeting places is about hunting. She knew if the remaining fever fungus was not used, the woman she honored above all others would surely die. She held wild celery, the first growing food to reach out from the warming soil, denoting that spring had arrived. Understanding how to gauge the age of the Others might be helpful in dealing with them. She meant what she said. She had done what she could for the Clan, for the people who had rescued her as a child, for the people of Iza and Creb. In that instant there was a banshee scream as Jonayla lunged forward landing on the large man's back, where she began to pummel him on both ears, trying to distract him from her mother. Jonayla asked. Ayla rode on, still not looking around her, but Jondalar could see the reaction of the Zelandonii people. Why have you come here at night?" "I've always loved you Ayla. 'Dula,' the Mog-ur called, and signed, "let us see if your medicine will help the wounded man of the Others." "That is interesting," Dula signed. Even now, with Wolf still in my arms, I miss him so," tears ran down her cheeks as she spoke. Jonayla was a young adult now and needed to find her own way at times. Mog-ur spoke from experience. She was facing away from the shore, looking at eye level out onto the lake. He stopped and looked back at her questioningly. His expression changed as he stared into her eyes. Mongar, looked at his Mog-ur and grunted, "So you're back. She had thought that Denanna wouldn't attend if she wasn't personally invited and this just proved that her suspicion had been correct. She realized even back then that he had done it to get her attention, to let her know that he was dissatisfied with the way their relationship had changed. Did I understand you? ", 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 don't care Jondalar. "First, let me assure you that I love my first born son as much as I love my son Durcan and my daughter Jonayla. He had his spearthrower strapped in front of the carry basket on his horse's flank within easy reach and a quiver of bird spears. Then one day there was a coating of frost on the rocks beside the trail leading down to the valley. As he turned to leave, Ayla slipped behind a large fallen tree whose trunk was almost as thick as she was tall and listened to the man's footfall as he passed her position. These things would naturally make her very interesting to any single young man of the Zelandonii. His dark brown eyes were wide open and he was looking at her with fear and consternation. The man, Jondalar, fills her with passion and desire and allows her to have a human to talk to. What did she know? What made this tallest mountain special was what it held within. Then they both turned toward a loud call, "Durg!" The woman, even though unasked, had helped old Bagba, according to their Medicine Woman. She knelt down in front of them and looked into their eyes, first at one child and then the other, and asked, "Children of my heart, what have you to ask me? 'Stupid again,' Cambarre thought. It was about time to get ready for the meeting with her fellow Zelandonia that afternoon. This expression was the closest gesture people of the Clan had for "good-bye." When I was leaving the holding to return south, Brukeval knocked me down and would have beaten me senseless if Jondalar hadn't stopped him.". The tall blonde Donier asked, as she stood to greet the morning. I think you're right to leave it as it is," Ayla said, with a slight shiver. The man blended into the scenery. Ayla smiled welcomingly at the attractive young girl with the dark brown hair and the bright green eyes. She'd been given the impression it only held more folds of woven fiber to account for its thickness. Jonayla climbed over the surround gate and demonstrated as she continued to talk in a soothing voice to a small, dark brown colt with a light tan belly. I have been told by one who met him late last summer that he lives and is a hunt leader in his clan. "Anyone who can't see what you've done for the Zelandonii people is blind, and if they would ridicule you for a past over which you had no control", Folara jumped in, "I too will support you with all my heart," she said earnestly. The sight of her small wolf lying curled up under the massive pillar was awe inspiring. At least to him. What of them, do they fare well also?" It was hard to believe that the First before her, who had once worn this ornament, was really gone. "Joharran! When you didn't return Cambarre wanted to go and see if you two were alright. As he watched intently, he could find no insincerity in her body language. Just then Jonayla heard her name called and looked up to see Lorala, her hearth sibling, walking toward her along the path to the river's edge. Only the children would remain behind to serve the Doniers. They could see people moving around; it looked like there were more people than just Zelandoni. "I will leave this with you so you can drink when you wish," she signed, placing the water bag within easy reach. The boy would survive. "I am grateful to the Clan too, because if they hadn't taken in a small child - not of their own kind - when they did, we wouldn't have her as our First Zelandoni now. "I have a dwelling of my own, but it's small and unsuitable for children," he said meaningfully. "Ah, Tormaden, this man is in shock, his mind is leaving his body and we only have a short time to reunite the two. Still running, Mageb passed the grazing herd, barely disturbing their tranquility. ", Melodene smiled at the woman who led the Zelandonii. I wasn't born to the Zelandonii people and that will be a big impediment that I can't really see a way around. Jondalar sat at the foot of Ayla's pallet. "I just saw the young ones leaving. Cambarre asked, holding his breath. Looking up, she saw two eagles in an aerial conflict. Also the open area was big enough to give them a good field of vision so they could see anyone coming with enough advance notice to react. She wasn't sure what to think, but she tried to put a touch of derision in her voice to show him her skepticism. They had spiritual leaders just like her Zelandoni, maybe even more powerful, if she understood correctly what he was saying about them. "This is a sign of almost perfect symmetry; the Mother speaks to me in this. ", "Daughter," Ayla said with a smile, "Don't you think if I wanted a wolf pup, that I could find one all on my own? He wore it that way to keep it close at hand and to keep hair out of his eyes on windy days, just like his mother always did. Ayla could hear a commotion behind her. Jondalar caught up with Ayla farther up Old Valley. I think this may be the last day before all the campsites start to come down. It was Brukeval and his men that attacked you. Some women hated the men nearly as much as Armuna did. In the falling dusk the huge monster lumbered toward the approaching men. Ayla climbed out of her sleeping furs and noticed that the banked fire had gone out during the night. In her experience if someone remained unconscious for too long, they might never wake again. You have willingly learned what your father and I have tried to teach you, and you have mastered the skills to survive on your own if need be. Ayla hugged the old man warmly and kissed him on the cheek. Then the story went on to describe Ayla riding a cave lion on the plain below the meeting area and again how all of the Mamutoi had watched. "Finally Skytalker told Camma, our leader, that he would curse her like he'd cursed our Shaman if she persisted in her opposition to his wishes. Her parents were up and outside and she could just see Joharran getting up from his sleeping place. How old are you now Zelandoni? They're your children after all," Jondalar said. "Yes, that's a good idea." They had been instructed to go in pairs and to stay within shouting distance of each other. "Times are becoming difficult and you are the answer, I'm sure of it." Chapter 18 "I must leave the Chimu. If they resist we will overpower them no matter what must be done to do so. You don't have to, you know. That, and the game driven towards our hunters as they tried to evade your hunters meant our hunt could finish at about the normal time. We will not continue to be killed without retaliation. I only wish I hadn't had to go north so soon after you arrived. "I hope you will wear it. I don't want to make a mistake or take a side that might be in the wrong.
