The women at the cave began to give birth Star was first then Pora, Lorn, Ludi and Moli. All boys except Star her daughter was called Little Star. Ludi named her boy Mondu son of Mondo and as she was the Medicine Woman she ruled the roost while Mondo was gone. Ludi was sure that by the time Mondo came home all the babies will be born even little Yo'te the last to get pregnant. The men and boys kept the camp supplied with meat. Every day one born even little Yo'te the last to get pregnant. The men and boys kept the camp supplied with meat. Every day one of the boys and Runt would go to the bramble gate and watch . The two men pulled their own weight Shad was a spear maker and Grug was a potter he made pots and bowls for everyone..... but they all seemed to miss Mondo his strength and leadership was missed Tondar is worried only 3 hunters left, Himself, Grog and Hobar each has been training one of the children. Tondar is training Lateen' s Daughter Sonda who is already good with a sling. Hobar has the other 12 y.o. girl Goba and Grog is training the 13 y.o. boy Socar. It is proving to be very difficult to feed everyone. With as many that are stil weak and sick they were unable to move to winter grounds. Luckily they had found a cave that was an air vent of a near dormant Volcano. Heat still permeated the cave area from hot gasses so they only needed fire if they wished to cook. Each hunter pair went out alone only time the whole group would go out on a hunt was if large game was spotted. At that time the women who were strong enough would make Travois to help skinning and hauling of the meat if a kill was made. Sadly this was rare.
