Mariza was looking forward to spending time with her sisters. So after feeding breakfast to the people she shared her tipi with, the women began gathering their children for the visit. Zurbgranaza had already agreed to accompany them for their day of baby sitting.
“Do I have to go?” whined Zariz. “I want to go play with the other kids.”
“Me too!” agreed Zurgranazaga.
“There will be kids your age there for you to play with,” replied Mariza. “Don’t you want to meet your aunts?”
“Do you think you could take my children with you?” asked Vojkovica. “I wanted to go foraging with the Clan women.”
Mariza could tell that she was lying, but said nothing about it.
“Alright. But make sure you come by to feed Mojadaza,” admonished Mariza. “I don’t want your milk to dry up.”
Once the children were all rounded up, the three women led them into the circle of tipis that was the Abraxas Clan’s Camp and to the overly large tipi that was Luna’s. It was easy to spot because it was brightly painted with pictures of magical beasts of all kinds. And the paintings moved.
Iza’s daughter, Ranza was waiting outside. While her mother was inside helping Luna and Ayla get their daughters ready to go. By the time, Mariza’s group had reached the tipi, Iza, Luna and Ayla had stepped out with their daughters: Tama, Tayla, Anka and Maeba.
“We’re going back to our cave to tend the magical garden,” explained Ayla. “Thonlan and Ova are still inside with the rest of the children.”
“Would your son like to come with us?” asked Iza. “We could make it his first Herbalogy lesson.”
“My mama has already taught me some things about plants,” bragged Zariz.
“I would be surprised if she hadn’t,” said Iza. “But these will be magical plants.”
After they left, Mariza’s group entered the tipi. When she was younger, Mariza had considered taking care here sisters and Luna’s daughters a chore. Now she found it a joy. But they had all changed so much she barely knew them. And now there were a bunch of younger ones who hadn’t been born when she left. When the Weeches returned with Zariz from the Herbology lesson, Thonlan and Ova gathered their Spears and Bow and left with Ayla and Luna for a hunting trip. Mariza wondered if they would actually bring back and meat. Though she’d never known her mother to fail to bring something down with her sling when she went ‘hunting’ with a man.
Now that their mothers was gone, Anka and Tama wanted to go ride the unicorns. So, Mariza left Vezava and Zurbgranaza with the youngest children, while she took the oldest to go ride unicorns. Zurbgranaza’s oldest daughter: Zurbgranazaga, joined them. But since the unicorns wouldn’t let Zariz or Ova’s son, Thovan, ride them, Mariza helped them get on the horses.
The sun was going down by the time Luna, Ayla, Thonlan and Ova returned with disheveled hair and smiles on their faces. Ayla pulled a bison out of her pouch and enlarged it and the women of Abraxas Clan started the work of butchering and processing it.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
“We have had most of summer here at the Clanluna Summer Gathering,” signed Mariza. “So now it is time to decide whether or not we wish to become a clan of the Clanluna. This Leader would like to hear your thoughts.”
“This man finds many things about these people strange,” signed Zezbrakran. “But this man enjoys hunting with Durc’s clan and the other Clan, men. This man would like to go with them to the Clan Gathering in a few years, too.”
“This mog-ur is glad to have met The Mog-Ur,” signed Zurbgun. “And looks forward to performing the mog-ur’s Ceremony with him.”
“This medicine woman is grateful for all you have taught her,” signed Zurbgrana, as Zurbgranaza nodded her agreement. “But it was a great experience to meet with so many other medicine women and compare, especially Ayla.”
“This woman enjoyed hunting with the Clan men too,” signed Vojkovica.
“She sure did,” murmered Vezava, sarcastically.
Each of the men and some of the women-who-hunt weighed in with their opinion, and the general consensus was that they wanted to become a clan of the Clanluna.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Mariza, would you like to go hunting with this woman?” signed Iga.
“You want to ‘go hunting’ with me?” asked Mariza, incredulously.
“You should, of course, feel free to refuse,” signed Iga. “It’s just that Griga told me what you did to her and this woman wanted to see for herself.”
This made sense. Over the Summer, the Clanlunae had been inviting all of the adults of her clan, ‘hunting’. She thought it was part of their evaluation of her.
“I would be happy to ‘go hunting’ with you,” replied Mariza, taking her by the hand.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As she liked to after Pleasures, Mariza was laying on top of Iga with their chests pressed together. The problem was, Iga was holding onto her a little too tightly.
“Iga, don’t hold me so tightly, I’m having trouble breathing,” said Mariza. “IGA, YOU’RE HURTING ME! LET GO!”
When she got off of her, Iga rolled on her side and hugged herself in a fetal position.
“Oh, Iga, I’m sorry,” said Mariza, as she stroked her arm. “I usually listen for the change in the woman’s moans to let me know when I’ve succeeded in Relieving her Needs. But I was so caught up in what I was doing that I forget you couldn’t moan, so I kept going . . . looks like I went a little too far . . .”
Iga opened her eyes, and looked at Mariza, but her pupils were so dilated that the emerald green irises could not be seen. Having forgotten that she hadn’t been able to speak in decades, Iga mouthed something. But she was unable to stop hugging herself long enough to sign.
Mariza pulled her upright and got behind her, pressing her chest to Iga’s back with her arms and legs wrapped around the older woman.
“You just sit here with me and I’ll hold you until you calm down,” said Mariza. “Take as long as you like.”
Comfortable holding the woman in this position, Mariza turned her head and kissed Iga on the neck only to feel the woman’s whole body shudder and seize Mariza’s arms in a death-grip.
“Ow! Ow! Let go Iga! I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist. I’ll be good now.”
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“Vojkovica! You’re finally back!” said Zurbgranaza. “Have you seen Mariza? She’s still not back yet.”
“Maybe she went hunting like I did,” speculated Vojkovica.
“If she had, you’d think she’d be back before the sun set,” said a worried Vezava.
Leaving the children with Vojkovica, Zurbgranaza, Vezava, Zuradan, and Zuradaz lit torches and went looking for Mariza. Zuradan was the first to spot her, walking back to the camp with her arm around Iga. Both women looked exhausted.
“Help me get her back to her tipi,” said Mariza.
“I’ll take her,” offered Vezava, as Zuradan grabbed Mariza to prevent her from falling.
Went they got her back to the tipi, Mariza collapsed on her bed into a deep sleep.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Mariza awoke to find herself, alone in the tipi. It was no longer morning, and her bladder was overly full. Not bothering to get dressed, Mariza grabbed her summer dress and wand before stepping out of the tipi. The women of her clan were drying meat of a large animal by the central fire. This was the initial drying. Afterwards, the meat would be hung in tipis above the fire for more drying. Care was taken to burn good smelling woods inside the tipis.
“About time you woke up,” said Vezava. “OH MY MARIZA! What happened to your arms!?!”
Mariza now noticed the bruises all over them.
“Iga ah- the Clanluna did that,” explained Mariza.
“And did she feed to a cave lion too?” asked Vezava, who was now looking at the scratches on her back.
“Look, I’ll take care of it later,” said Mariza, as she pulled her summer-dress on to hide her back. “I need to use the trench now.”
When she was finished at the trench, Mariza returned and pulled Vezava aside.
“Can you help me heal this?” asked Mariza.
After Vezava followed her into the tipi, Mariza took a bruise-healing potion and pulled off her summer-dress.
Can you rub this potion on my back?” asked Mariza. “Oooo . . . ooo . . . that’s much better! Do me a favor. Don’t tell Zurgranaza about this.”
“She already knows,” called Mariza’s mate from outside the tipi. “What did you do to her to make her inflict those kinds of wounds?”
“Nothing that I don’t do to you,” said Mariza, as Zurbgranaza entered. “I just didn’t stop when she was finished because I didn’t know when to stop.”
After Zurbgranaza finished helping heal Mariza, she gathered her potions and medicine bag to go do the same for Iga. But as she approached Iga’s tipi, a red-haired, green-eyed teenaged girl stepped in her path.
“Just where do you think you’re going?” asked Igooa.
“I wanted to offer some healing potions to your mother,” replied Mariza.
“Haven’t you hurt her enough?” growled Igooa. “Her arms are covered in bruises!”
“I didn’t do that, she did it to her self,” replied Mariza. “And she did the same to me when I let her.”
“Your arms don’t look bruised to me,” said Igooa.
“That’s because of my potions,” said Mariza, as she held up her potions bag.
“You stay away from my mother!” snarled Igooa.
TWAP! TWAP! TWAP!
Iga had stuck her top end out and hit the side of the tipi. Mariza could see that Iga’s arms were much more bruised that hers had been.
“Let her in,” signed Iga. “This woman needs her healing.”

Dura, a junior clanluna from the Flamel Clan had been sent to guide Mariza and Vezava. They’d walked some distance before they came to a place where the more senior clanlunae were seated in a circle. Iga The Clanluna was presiding. Zeen was also there for Abraxas Clan. Bangar the centaur was the clanluna of Bellpheron Clan, Mariza didn’t know the Androsphix who was currently clanluna of Circe Clan. Đučaviča’s mother, Krstulović was representing Đűmbleđore Član. Hvarđa was the leading članluna of Everarđ Član. Ura, mate of Durc was there for Flamel Clan. Rosen the centaur was clanluna of Gaunt Clan. And Iga’s daughter, Ina was clanluna of Imago Član.
Dura directed them to stand in the center of the circle.
“We summoned you here because we like to ask you a few questions,” signed Iga. “Mariza, you only like to Share Pleasures with women, is that correct?”
“Yes,” said Mariza.
“Then how do you expect to be a clanluna if you can not redfoot the young men?” signed Iga.
“I will be the redfoot,” spoke up Vezava.
“And that’s why you need two clanlunas for your clan?” asked the sphinx.
“This Clanluna must admit, you put us in a difficult position,” signed Iga. “Most women like Pleasures with men, most men like Pleasures with women. Amongst the Sungeae there are stories that in the past there have been ones-who-serve the mother who liked their own gender. But usually these people looked and acted like both genders. They’d even take mates of their own gender.”
“I met one of those in me travels!” said Mariza.
“I’ve heard of those too,” said Hvarđa. “But they don’t usually look so feminine, like you do.”
“And the fact that Luna likes to Share Pleasures with women seems to me to be an endorsement of your choice,” signed Iga.
“I didn’t choose to be this way,” protested Mariza. “In fact I didn’t know I only like Women until my 1st Rites.”
“Do you feel that I FORCED you at your 1st Rites?” asked Zeen.
“No. No! I’m glad you were the one to give me my 1st Rites,” said Mariza. “But having the best male lover in the world for my 1st Rites, made me realize that I would rather have female lovers.”
“What about other girls like you? Do you think girls who are like you should be protected from 1st Rites?” asked Zeen. “Do you think it would be harmful to them? Do we need some sort of screening process to find them?”
“No, I don’t think that’s nessesary,” replied Mariza. “But perhaps . . . in the preliminary counseling it should be made known that young women who already know that don’t like men can opt out of having 1st Rites and mating a man.”
“Would you be willing to perform some sort of 1st Rites equivalent for girls who know that they’re like you.”
“I suppose . . . I’d be willing to do it . . . but I’d have to do some thinking about what the ceremony would actually consist of,” said Mariza. “Perhaps it should be more like redfooting?”
“And available to young women who know that like both too,” added Vezava.
“You’ve asked to be recognized as one of us, but you want to call yourself a clanmariza, not a clanluna?” asked Ina.

Mariza was looking forward to spending time with her sisters. So after feeding breakfast to the people she shared her tipi with, the women began gathering their children for the visit. Zurbgranaza had already agreed to accompany them for their day of baby sitting.
“Do I have to go?” whined Zariz. “I want to go play with the other kids.”
“Me too!” agreed Zurgranazaga.
“There will be kids your age there for you to play with,” replied Mariza. “Don’t you want to meet your aunts?”
“Do you think you could take my children with you?” asked Vojkovica. “I wanted to go foraging with the Clan women.”
Mariza could tell that she was lying, but said nothing about it.
“Alright. But make sure you come by to feed Mojadaza,” admonished Mariza. “I don’t want your milk to dry up.”
Once the children were all rounded up, the three women led them into the circle of tipis that was the Abraxas Clan’s Camp and to the overly large tipi that was Luna’s. It was easy to spot because it was brightly painted with pictures of magical beasts of all kinds. And the paintings moved.
Iza’s daughter, Ranza was waiting outside. While her mother was inside helping Luna and Ayla get their daughters ready to go. By the time, Mariza’s group had reached the tipi, Iza, Luna and Ayla had stepped out with their daughters: Tama, Tayla, Anka and Maeba.
“We’re going back to our cave to tend the magical garden,” explained Ayla. “Thonlan and Ova are still inside with the rest of the children.”
“Would your son like to come with us?” asked Iza. “We could make it his first Herbalogy lesson.”
“My mama has already taught me some things about plants,” bragged Zariz.
“I would be surprised if she hadn’t,” said Iza. “But these will be magical plants.”
After they left, Mariza’s group entered the tipi. When she was younger, Mariza had considered taking care here sisters and Luna’s daughters a chore. Now she found it a joy. But they had all changed so much she barely knew them. And now there were a bunch of younger ones who hadn’t been born when she left. When the Weeches returned with Zariz from the Herbology lesson, Thonlan and Ova gathered their Spears and Bow and left with Ayla and Luna for a hunting trip. Mariza wondered if they would actually bring back and meat. Though she’d never known her mother to fail to bring something down with her sling when she went ‘hunting’ with a man.
Now that their mothers was gone, Anka and Tama wanted to go ride the unicorns. So, Mariza left Vezava and Zurbgranaza with the youngest children, while she took the oldest to go ride unicorns. Zurbgranaza’s oldest daughter: Zurbgranazaga, joined them. But since the unicorns wouldn’t let Zariz or Ova’s son, Thovan, ride them, Mariza helped them get on the horses.
The sun was going down by the time Luna, Ayla, Thonlan and Ova returned with disheveled hair and smiles on their faces. Ayla pulled a bison out of her pouch and enlarged it and the women of Abraxas Clan started the work of butchering and processing it.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
“We have had most of summer here at the Clanluna Summer Gathering,” signed Mariza. “So now it is time to decide whether or not we wish to become a clan of the Clanluna. This Leader would like to hear your thoughts.”
“This man finds many things about these people strange,” signed Zezbrakran. “But this man enjoys hunting with Durc’s clan and the other Clan, men. This man would like to go with them to the Clan Gathering in a few years, too.”
“This mog-ur is glad to have met The Mog-Ur,” signed Zurbgun. “And looks forward to performing the mog-ur’s Ceremony with him.”
“This medicine woman is grateful for all you have taught her,” signed Zurbgrana, as Zurbgranaza nodded her agreement. “But it was a great experience to meet with so many other medicine women and compare, especially Ayla.”
“This woman enjoyed hunting with the Clan men too,” signed Vojkovica.
“She sure did,” murmered Vezava, sarcastically.
Each of the men and some of the women-who-hunt weighed in with their opinion, and the general consensus was that they wanted to become a clan of the Clanluna.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Mariza, would you like to go hunting with this woman?” signed Iga.
“You want to ‘go hunting’ with me?” asked Mariza, incredulously.
“You should, of course, feel free to refuse,” signed Iga. “It’s just that Griga told me what you did to her and this woman wanted to see for herself.”
This made sense. Over the Summer, the Clanlunae had been inviting all of the adults of her clan, ‘hunting’. She thought it was part of their evaluation of her.
“I would be happy to ‘go hunting’ with you,” replied Mariza, taking her by the hand.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As she liked to after Pleasures, Mariza was laying on top of Iga with their chests pressed together. The problem was, Iga was holding onto her a little too tightly.
“Iga, don’t hold me so tightly, I’m having trouble breathing,” said Mariza. “IGA, YOU’RE HURTING ME! LET GO!”
When she got off of her, Iga rolled on her side and hugged herself in a fetal position.
“Oh, Iga, I’m sorry,” said Mariza, as she stroked her arm. “I usually listen for the change in the woman’s moans to let me know when I’ve succeeded in Relieving her Needs. But I was so caught up in what I was doing that I forget you couldn’t moan, so I kept going . . . looks like I went a little too far . . .”
Iga opened her eyes, and looked at Mariza, but her pupils were so dilated that the emerald green irises could not be seen. Having forgotten that she hadn’t been able to speak in decades, Iga mouthed something. But she was unable to stop hugging herself long enough to sign.
Mariza pulled her upright and got behind her, pressing her chest to Iga’s back with her arms and legs wrapped around the older woman.
“You just sit here with me and I’ll hold you until you calm down,” said Mariza. “Take as long as you like.”
Comfortable holding the woman in this position, Mariza turned her head and kissed Iga on the neck only to feel the woman’s whole body shudder and seize Mariza’s arms in a death-grip.
“Ow! Ow! Let go Iga! I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist. I’ll be good now.”
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“Vojkovica! You’re finally back!” said Zurbgranaza. “Have you seen Mariza? She’s still not back yet.”
“Maybe she went hunting like I did,” speculated Vojkovica.
“If she had, you’d think she’d be back before the sun set,” said a worried Vezava.
Leaving the children with Vojkovica, Zurbgranaza, Vezava, Zuradan, and Zuradaz lit torches and went looking for Mariza. Zuradan was the first to spot her, walking back to the camp with her arm around Iga. Both women looked exhausted.
“Help me get her back to her tipi,” said Mariza.
“I’ll take her,” offered Vezava, as Zuradan grabbed Mariza to prevent her from falling.
Went they got her back to the tipi, Mariza collapsed on her bed into a deep sleep.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Mariza awoke to find herself, alone in the tipi. It was no longer morning, and her bladder was overly full. Not bothering to get dressed, Mariza grabbed her summer dress and wand before stepping out of the tipi. The women of her clan were drying meat of a large animal by the central fire. This was the initial drying. Afterwards, the meat would be hung in tipis above the fire for more drying. Care was taken to burn good smelling woods inside the tipis.
“About time you woke up,” said Vezava. “OH MY MARIZA! What happened to your arms!?!”
Mariza now noticed the bruises all over them.
“Iga ah- the Clanluna did that,” explained Mariza.
“And did she feed to a cave lion too?” asked Vezava, who was now looking at the scratches on her back.
“Look, I’ll take care of it later,” said Mariza, as she pulled her summer-dress on to hide her back. “I need to use the trench now.”
When she was finished at the trench, Mariza returned and pulled Vezava aside.
“Can you help me heal this?” asked Mariza.
After Vezava followed her into the tipi, Mariza took a bruise-healing potion and pulled off her summer-dress.
Can you rub this potion on my back?” asked Mariza. “Oooo . . . ooo . . . that’s much better! Do me a favor. Don’t tell Zurgranaza about this.”
“She already knows,” called Mariza’s mate from outside the tipi. “What did you do to her to make her inflict those kinds of wounds?”
“Nothing that I don’t do to you,” said Mariza, as Zurbgranaza entered. “I just didn’t stop when she was finished because I didn’t know when to stop.”
After Zurbgranaza finished helping heal Mariza, she gathered her potions and medicine bag to go do the same for Iga. But as she approached Iga’s tipi, a red-haired, green-eyed teenaged girl stepped in her path.
“Just where do you think you’re going?” asked Igooa.
“I wanted to offer some healing potions to your mother,” replied Mariza.
“Haven’t you hurt her enough?” growled Igooa. “Her arms are covered in bruises!”
“I didn’t do that, she did it to her self,” replied Mariza. “And she did the same to me when I let her.”
“Your arms don’t look bruised to me,” said Igooa.
“That’s because of my potions,” said Mariza, as she held up her potions bag.
“You stay away from my mother!” snarled Igooa.
TWAP! TWAP! TWAP!
Iga had stuck her top end out and hit the side of the tipi. Mariza could see that Iga’s arms were much more bruised that hers had been.
“Let her in,” signed Iga. “This woman needs her healing.”

Dura, a junior clanluna from the Flamel Clan had been sent to guide Mariza and Vezava. They’d walked some distance before they came to a place where the more senior clanlunae were seated in a circle. Iga The Clanluna was presiding. Zeen was also there for Abraxas Clan. Bangar the centaur was the clanluna of Bellpheron Clan, Mariza didn’t know the Androsphix who was currently clanluna of Circe Clan. Đučaviča’s mother, Krstulović was representing Đűmbleđore Član. Hvarđa was the leading članluna of Everarđ Član. Ura, mate of Durc was there for Flamel Clan. Rosen the centaur was clanluna of Gaunt Clan. And Iga’s daughter, Ina was clanluna of Imago Član.
Dura directed them to stand in the center of the circle.
“We summoned you here because we like to ask you a few questions,” signed Iga. “Mariza, you only like to Share Pleasures with women, is that correct?”
“Yes,” said Mariza.
“Then how do you expect to be a clanluna if you can not redfoot the young men?” signed Iga.
“I will be the redfoot,” spoke up Vezava.
“And that’s why you need two clanlunas for your clan?” asked the sphinx.
“This Clanluna must admit, you put us in a difficult position,” signed Iga. “Most women like Pleasures with men, most men like Pleasures with women. Amongst the Sungeae there are stories that in the past there have been ones-who-serve the mother who liked their own gender. But usually these people looked and acted like both genders. They’d even take mates of their own gender.”
“I met one of those in me travels!” said Mariza.
“I’ve heard of those too,” said Hvarđa. “But they don’t usually look so feminine, like you do.”
“And the fact that Luna likes to Share Pleasures with women seems to me to be an endorsement of your choice,” signed Iga.
“I didn’t choose to be this way,” protested Mariza. “In fact I didn’t know I only like Women until my 1st Rites.”
“Do you feel that I FORCED you at your 1st Rites?” asked Zeen.
“No. No! I’m glad you were the one to give me my 1st Rites,” said Mariza. “But having the best male lover in the world for my 1st Rites, made me realize that I would rather have female lovers.”
“What about other girls like you? Do you think girls who are like you should be protected from 1st Rites?” asked Zeen. “Do you think it would be harmful to them? Do we need some sort of screening process to find them?”
“No, I don’t think that’s nessesary,” replied Mariza. “But perhaps . . . in the preliminary counseling it should be made known that young women who already know that don’t like men can opt out of having 1st Rites and mating a man.”
“Would you be willing to perform some sort of 1st Rites equivalent for girls who know that they’re like you.”
“I suppose . . . I’d be willing to do it . . . but I’d have to do some thinking about what the ceremony would actually consist of,” said Mariza. “Perhaps it should be more like redfooting?”
“And available to young women who know that like both too,” added Vezava.
“You’ve asked to be recognized as one of us, but you want to call yourself a clanmariza, not a clanluna?” asked Ina.
