After introducing him to popsicles, those women of the Others started talking about Medcine Woman things, so the mog-ur from the 4th Ranked Clan decided to see what happened to the Cave Bear cage. Of all the possible scenarios in his memories of past Clan gatherings, nothing could have prepared him for the sight that greeted him. A deformed boy was giving children rides on Ursus while the Mog-urs tried to build a new cage that was twice as strong as the previous one. He tapped the mog-ur from the 3rd Ranked Clan on the shoulder.
‘’What? . . .What? . . . What? . . .’’ the mog-ur from the 4th Ranked Clan knew he had a question. He just didn’t know how to phrase it.
‘’Can you believe it!’’ signed the mog-ur from the 3rd Ranked Clan. ‘’The mog-ur from the 1st Ranked Clan’s acolyte has Him as a totem! And not only that, the boy was born to the hearth of Mog-Ur one-eye!’’
‘’This mog-ur is certain that the boy will be The Mog-Ur at the next Clan Gathering,’’ signed the mog-ur of the 4th Ranked Clan, now that he comprehended the situation.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
‘’Have you seen Mama or Durc?’’ asked Iza.
‘’Greb took Durc hunting and your mother went that way with Luna,’’ signed Groob, as he frowned as the mixed girl with bruises on her face. ‘’You should really have a Medicine Woman look at your face, girl. Unfortunately, both our Medicine Women have left the Camp. Perhaps the Clanluna could heal you? She’s over there under the yelling man.’’
But, when the girls got there, Groog was leading his mate into the teepee for a little mutual Need Relieving.
‘’How about this girl teaches you how to use a sling?’’ suggested Iza.
‘’No! This girl would be punished if she were caught even touching a hunting weapon!’’ replied Ura, frightened.
‘’Well then, would you like to watch me practice with my sling?’’ offered Iza.
‘’That might be acceptable,’’ agreed Ura.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After the rest of the mog-urs arrived at where Oop was hanging, upside-down, they all tried to break the spell, sometimes several at once. They didn’t recognize the situation, but, it was like Oop was hanging from a spring that would increase its’ tensile strength, the more weight you put on it. If a mog-ug put his entire weight on Oop, he would sink downward a foot and slowly rise up to the level he had been at before. If the mog-ur suddenly released Oop, the helpless man would go shooting two feet in the air, fall down two feet, the spring up slightly less than two feet. Oop would continue bouncing until he came to a stop. The only mog-ur who hung back from this process was Goov.
‘’We’ve all tried and failed,’’ signed the mog-ur from the 3rd Ranked Clan. ‘’Why don’t you release him now?’’
Goov’s eyes took on a mirthful look as he spotted Luna and Ayla returning to the camp. He grasped his amulet for a moment, then, raised his arms dramatically! He stood there, motionless until Luna came close enough. Then, he turned to her and asked:
‘’Leader, this mog-ur would ask you to release the foolish man, Oop.’’
‘’Well, this Leader supposes he has learned his lesson,’’ allowed Luna. ‘’And his head is turning purple from being in this position too long.’’
Luna pulled her wand from behind her ear, flicked it, and Oop fell on his head, with a thump!
Ayla rushed to tend the injured man.
‘’Let us return to our deliberations,’’ signed Goov as he walked off in the direction of the host Clan’s cave without turn to see if anyone was following. To a man, the other mog-urs were following his lead.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
‘’Then we are agreed,’’ signed the 5th Ranked mog-ur. ‘’The mog-ur from the 1st ranked Clan shall be The Mog-Ur!’’
Goov’s heart swelled with pride. He knew he was so much less of a Mog-Ur than his old mentor. He never imagined that he would get to follow in Creb’s footsteps! Just then, he heard footsteps in the cave. He turned to see Ayla holding a large bowl and a basket. At his look, she came forward and sat at his feet like a good Clan woman. He tapped her on the shoulder to acknowledge her.
‘’This Medicine Woman thought that the mog-urs might like some tea. Iga helped her prepare it.’’
The Mog-Ur nodded his permission. Ayla had just told him that the tea had her herbs and the Clanluna’s mushrooms in it. The other mog-urs were in for a treat!
Ayla sat the basket and bowl in the center and pulled her wand from behind her ear.
‘’Wingarium Leviosa!’’ yelled Ayla as she swished and flicked her wand.
She then, levitated a cup out of her basket and dipped out a serving that she levitated to Goov.
(Oh! Very good!) thought Goov, when he saw what she was doing.
The other mog-urs gaped, open mouthed at the sight!
‘’Wingarium Leviosa!’’ she repeated the process until each mog-ur had been served.
The mog-urs glared at their cups, fearfully, until they noticed that The Mog-Ur was drinking his tea without fear.
She then, left the mog-urs to continue their meeting.
The mog-urs were able to deliberate for another hour before their visions started interfering. It was like nothing in their memories!
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
The next morning, when Luna awoke, Goov was sitting by the fire in the teepee staring at her.
‘’The Mog-Ur would speak with the Leader of his Clan,’’ signed Goov.
‘’Yes, this Leader heard about your status as The Mog-Ur of all the Clans,’’ signed Luna, as she sat up, letting the fur blanket fall off her breasts. ‘’This Leader is proud of you!’’
‘’It is about your Leadership that this Mog-Ur needs to discuss,’’ signed Goov. ‘’The Council of mog-urs has reached a decision.’’
‘’Which is?’’ asked Luna.
‘’They will not deny your Leadership of our Clan, but they are unwilling to acknowledge it either,’’ signed Goov. ‘’Zar will be allowed to attend meetings of the Leaders, to speak in your place. You will be allowed to attend and listen in on Leader’s meetings. The Women-Who-Hunt will not be allowed to hunt during the Clan Gathering, but they will be allowed to carry their slings, bows and baby spears. They are not, however, allowed to touch any man’s hunting weapons! Women will not be allowed to compete in the competitions against the men. But the Women-Who-Hunt will be allowed to have separate sling and bow competitions that will not count towards the Clan ranking. Also, the men of our Clan will have a spear throwing competition that will not count towards the Clan ranking.
The Mog-Ur would suggest that Zar is perfectly capable of representing the Clan during Leadership meetings. If you need to advise him, do so in an Other’s Language. He can understand English, Sungaean, and Mamutoi well enough.’’
‘’That all sounds acceptable,’’ Luna grudgingly agreed.
‘’The Mog-ur has a personal request for the Ursus Ceremony,’’ added Goov.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
‘’Hey look! It’s one of those deformed kids!’’ said a Clan boy.
‘’Hey ugly! Is it true that you’re deformed because your mother allowed an animal to defeat her totem?’’ taunted another boy.
‘’You take that back!’’ waved Durc. ‘’My mother would never do anything like that!’’
‘’This boy heard that she rides on the back of animals,’’ taunted a third boy. ‘’Is it true that she Relieves their Needs too?’’
‘’Yeah, does she Relieve the Needs of hyenas?’’ taunted a fourth boy.
‘’Grrrrrr!!’’ Durc made a sound that sounded exactly like a Cave Bear growl as he attacked the boys. He punched one in the nose, while kicking another between the legs!
All four boys retaliated at once! One of them picked up a spear and had it forcefully pulled from his hands.
‘’Stop! What’s going on here?’’ asked Grev.
‘’The ugly animal boy attacked us,’’ proclaimed the boy who, tried to spear Durc.
‘’They said my mother Relieves the Needs of hyena’s!’’ defended Durc.
Grev understood completely. He too, often had difficulty controlling his temper.
‘’You boys run along now,’’ commanded Grev, ‘’This man will handle Durc.’’
Once the gang of boys had wandered off to go seek their Medicine women, to heal the injuries Durc had inflicted, Grev turned to Durc.
‘’This man understands how hard in can be to control your temper, milk brother,’’ began Grev. ‘’But Brun says that a man should be in control at all times. You need to learn to control your temper if you want to be a man. This man still struggles with it.’’
‘’Yes, Grev,’’ replied Durc, galled at being scolded by his milk brother.
He didn’t understand why it was taking so long for him to grow up. He should be a man by now! Grev was!
‘’Now, go see if you can find Uba or your mother to tend your bruises,’’ signed Grev.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ayla was walking through the crowd, trying to ignore the stares she got, when she spotted a familiar face.
‘’Oda! This woman greets you,’’ waved Ayla.
‘’Yes, We didn’t get a chance to speak, yesterday, when you were setting up camp,’’ signed Oda.
‘’So are you really mated to the Leader of your Clan?’’ asked Ayla. ‘’How did that happen?’’
‘’My mate died in an earthquake and no man wanted me,’’ began Oda. ‘’So the new Leader, Gurg, had to take me as his 2nd woman. Then, when his 1st mate died in childbirth, this woman had suddenly become the mate of the Leader.
Is it true that you have a female Leader and you hunt like a man?’’
‘’Yes, we do, and this woman is a Woman-Who-Hunts,’’ confirmed Ayla. ‘’So, where is Ura?’’
‘’She said she was going to visit you Camp this morning,’’ replied Oda. ‘’She told me she made friends with a very young girl of the Others.’’
‘’Well, let’s go see if she’s there,’’ suggested Ayla.
The two women walked together to the Camp of Luna’s Clan. When they arrived, Ayla poked her head in her Teepee. Only, Ovra was still there, making a dugout bowl by the fire.
‘’Have you seen a mixed girl, named: Ura?’’ asked Ayla.
‘’Oh Yes! Iza introduced me to her, earlier,’’ replied Ovra. ‘’She took her with her to practice her sling.’’
‘’Mama!’’ cried Durc, as he came running up with cuts and bruises all over.
‘’What happened to you?’’ signed Ayla.
‘’This boy got in a fight with four other boys,’’ admitted Durc. ‘’They were saying mean things about you!’’
‘’Well you shouldn’t be fighting other boys,’’ admonished Ayla. ‘’A man controls his temper.’’
‘’This boy knows,’’ groused Durc. ‘’Grev already spoke to me about it!’’
‘’Well you just sit there and let me get you cleaned up,’’ commanded Ayla, in Medicine Woman mode.
‘’Aww Mama!’’ Protested Durc, as he squirmed.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Once Luna had emptied her bladder and the night basket, cleaned up and nursed Mara, and helped the other women cook breakfast for their families, Luna felt an urge to relax and think about her conversation with Goov. Remembering how good the sun felt on her bare skin, when she went to the pit, Luna decided not to don her wrap. She just put on her belt, from which she hung her sling, tucked her wand behind her ear, gave Mara to Iga, enlarged her broom and after stepping outside the teepee, kicked off. As she soared through the air, the whole crowd of the Clan gathering stared at her for a moment in shock.
But the sight of a naked woman, flying through the air on a stick with a broom on the end of it was too much to the Clan people to handle. Very quickly their eyes glazed over as they pretended not to notice the Spirit.
Luna was enjoying herself as she dove and soared until she spotted Zar heading for the Leader’s meeting. She flew over her teepee and summoned her wrap through the smoke hole, then, flew over to where the leaders were meeting.
When she landed next to them, all of them except Zar were pretending they didn’t see her. The morning sun on her skin still felt good, so she laid her wrap on the ground and used it to sit on.
Zar did a good job of representing her at the meeting. They knew each other well enough that he only needed to look into her eyes to see what so thought on a subject. Luna only needed to speak out loud to him twice.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
SLING!
Iza hurled a stone from her sling at the target and missed. She was still learning. Ura was watching her practice when footsteps announced that they were not alone. The two girls turned to look.
‘’Ewww! Aren’t these two, the ugliest girls you’ve ever seen?’’ said a Clan boy.
‘’Look she has blue eyes!’’ accused another boy as he pointed at Iza. ‘’Blue eyes! Blue eyes! Blue eyes!’’
‘’Hey I’ve got an idea!’’ proclaimed a third boy, as he gave Ura the Signal.
‘’Yeah, that’s a good one!’’ agreed the fourth boy, as he gave the Signal to Ura to.
Iza was flabbergasted! She’d seen her mother and her mate make the Signal and Share Pleasures plenty of times. But she thought that was something only old people did. She didn’t know what some icky boy would want to lick her down there or stick his organ in her! Although Iza had some Clan in her, she was mostly Others and, with the exception of her dark black hair, looked like a 4-year-old girl of the Others.
Ura was more prepared. She had enough Clan in her that she had the physical and emotional maturity of a 9-year-old. Besides, Gurg often Relieved his Needs with her. Like a good Clan Woman, Ura knelt and presented.
‘’Get down here,’’ waved Ura, when she noticed Iza wasn’t in position.
Reluctantly, Iza knelt beside Ura and presented.

‘’Hey ugly! Is it true that you’re deformed because your mother allowed an animal to defeat her totem?’’ taunted another boy.
‘’You take that back!’’ waved Durc. ‘’My mother would never do anything like that!’’
‘’This boy heard that she rides on the back of animals,’’ taunted a third boy. ‘’Is it true that she Relieves their Needs too?’’
‘’Yeah, does she Relieve the Needs of hyenas?’’ taunted a fourth boy.
‘’Grrrrrr!!’’ Durc made a sound that sounded exactly like a Cave Bear growl as he attacked the boys. He punched one in the nose, while kicking another between the legs!
All four boys retaliated at once! One of them picked up a spear and had it forcefully pulled from his hands.
‘’Stop! What’s going on here?’’ asked Grev.
‘’The ugly animal boy attacked us,’’ proclaimed the boy who, tried to spear Durc.
‘’They said my mother Relieves the Needs of hyena’s!’’ defended Durc.
Grev understood completely. He too, often had difficulty controlling his temper.
‘’You boys run along now,’’ commanded Grev, ‘’This man will handle Durc.’’
Once the gang of boys had wandered off to go seek their Medicine women, to heal the injuries Durc had inflicted, Grev turned to Durc.
‘’This man understands how hard in can be to control your temper, milk brother,’’ began Grev. ‘’But Brun says that a man should be in control at all times. You need to learn to control your temper if you want to be a man. This man still struggles with it.’’
‘’Yes, Grev,’’ replied Durc, galled at being scolded by his milk brother.
He didn’t understand why it was taking so long for him to grow up. He should be a man by now! Grev was!
‘’Now, go see if you can find Uba or your mother to tend your bruises,’’ signed Grev.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ayla was walking through the crowd, trying to ignore the stares she got, when she spotted a familiar face.
‘’Oda! This woman greets you,’’ waved Ayla.
‘’Yes, We didn’t get a chance to speak, yesterday, when you were setting up camp,’’ signed Oda.
‘’So are you really mated to the Leader of your Clan?’’ asked Ayla. ‘’How did that happen?’’
‘’My mate died in an earthquake and no man wanted me,’’ began Oda. ‘’So the new Leader, Gurg, had to take me as his 2nd woman. Then, when his 1st mate died in childbirth, this woman had suddenly become the mate of the Leader.
Is it true that you have a female Leader and you hunt like a man?’’
‘’Yes, we do, and this woman is a Woman-Who-Hunts,’’ confirmed Ayla. ‘’So, where is Ura?’’
‘’She said she was going to visit you Camp this morning,’’ replied Oda. ‘’She told me she made friends with a very young girl of the Others.’’
‘’Well, let’s go see if she’s there,’’ suggested Ayla.
The two women walked together to the Camp of Luna’s Clan. When they arrived, Ayla poked her head in her Teepee. Only, Ovra was still there, making a dugout bowl by the fire.
‘’Have you seen a mixed girl, named: Ura?’’ asked Ayla.
‘’Oh Yes! Iza introduced me to her, earlier,’’ replied Ovra. ‘’She took her with her to practice her sling.’’
‘’Mama!’’ cried Durc, as he came running up with cuts and bruises all over.
‘’What happened to you?’’ signed Ayla.
‘’This boy got in a fight with four other boys,’’ admitted Durc. ‘’They were saying mean things about you!’’
‘’Well you shouldn’t be fighting other boys,’’ admonished Ayla. ‘’A man controls his temper.’’
‘’This boy knows,’’ groused Durc. ‘’Grev already spoke to me about it!’’
‘’Well you just sit there and let me get you cleaned up,’’ commanded Ayla, in Medicine Woman mode.
‘’Aww Mama!’’ Protested Durc, as he squirmed.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Once Luna had emptied her bladder and the night basket, cleaned up and nursed Mara, and helped the other women cook breakfast for their families, Luna felt an urge to relax and think about her conversation with Goov. Remembering how good the sun felt on her bare skin, when she went to the pit, Luna decided not to don her wrap. She just put on her belt, from which she hung her sling, tucked her wand behind her ear, gave Mara to Iga, enlarged her broom and after stepping outside the teepee, kicked off. As she soared through the air, the whole crowd of the Clan gathering stared at her for a moment in shock.
But the sight of a naked woman, flying through the air on a stick with a broom on the end of it was too much to the Clan people to handle. Very quickly their eyes glazed over as they pretended not to notice the Spirit.
Luna was enjoying herself as she dove and soared until she spotted Zar heading for the Leader’s meeting. She flew over her teepee and summoned her wrap through the smoke hole, then, flew over to where the leaders were meeting.
When she landed next to them, all of them except Zar were pretending they didn’t see her. The morning sun on her skin still felt good, so she laid her wrap on the ground and used it to sit on.
Zar did a good job of representing her at the meeting. They knew each other well enough that he only needed to look into her eyes to see what so thought on a subject. Luna only needed to speak out loud to him twice.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
SLING!
Iza hurled a stone from her sling at the target and missed. She was still learning. Ura was watching her practice when footsteps announced that they were not alone. The two girls turned to look.
‘’Ewww! Aren’t these two, the ugliest girls you’ve ever seen?’’ said a Clan boy.
‘’Look she has blue eyes!’’ accused another boy as he pointed at Iza. ‘’Blue eyes! Blue eyes! Blue eyes!’’
‘’Hey I’ve got an idea!’’ proclaimed a third boy, as he gave Ura the Signal.
‘’Yeah, that’s a good one!’’ agreed the fourth boy, as he gave the Signal to Ura to.
Iza was flabbergasted! She’d seen her mother and her mate make the Signal and Share Pleasures plenty of times. But she thought that was something only old people did. She didn’t know what some icky boy would want to lick her down there or stick his organ in her! Although Iza had some Clan in her, she was mostly Others and, with the exception of her dark black hair, looked like a 4-year-old girl of the Others.
Ura was more prepared. She had enough Clan in her that she had the physical and emotional maturity of a 9-year-old. Besides, Gurg often Relieved his Needs with her. Like a good Clan Woman, Ura knelt and presented.
‘’Get down here,’’ waved Ura, when she noticed Iza wasn’t in position.
Reluctantly, Iza knelt beside Ura and presented.
