Winter turned to Spring and Spring into summer. Soon it was time to once again evaluate a group of students who had just finished their 5th year.
“I’ve given it a lot of thought,” began Luna. “I think all of them are capable of handling the more advanced material in Defense, Transfiguration, Care and Runes next year. But only Zariz seems competent in Divination. Zeen?”
“I’m certain that all of them can handle the more advanced Charms,” reported Zeen. “In fact, Ceban and Drorg have been casting their Charms silently from the beginning.”
“Zariz seems to be the only one of them with the memories for Potions,” announced Ayla. “He’s only one of them I’ll continue to teach next year.”
“Zariz is also the only one who has the knack for Herbalogy,” added Iza.
“I don’t think we’ve every had a student like Zariz before,” observed Luna. “Although he’s not the best student I’ve ever had in any one subject, he is good enough continue to the N.E.W.T. level in every subject I did, plus, Potions. I think if we had someone who knew Arithmacy or Astronomy or Alchemy at the N.E.W.T. level, he’d be able to handle all those too.”
“I’ve never seen a student like Ceban before either,” added Zeen. “He has more complete Clan memories than any Weez-ur I’d seen before. When he starts that new clan of people like him, the results will be interesting . . . especially with Maeba as their clanluna. A Clan woman whose Clan memories are derived from Luna . . . wow!”
“So We’re agreed?” asked Ayla. “Zariz will continue in Divination, Herbalogy and Potions, and everyone will continue in all the other subjects.”
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Zariz and his family were sitting outside their tipi at the Summer Gathering. Đelđuma had just finished nursing her son, Želžum, while Zariz was knapping some new tools. Transfigured blades were not as sturdy, so it was better to knap them by hand.
Wilmara came walking over wearing a very tight summer-dress.
“Đelđuma, would you like to go “hunting”?” asked Wilmara.
“Huh? Oh. Ooooooh! Yeš, I think I might enjoy going “hunting” with you,” replied Đelđuma, before indicating her baby.
“I can take care of him,” offered Zariz as he took her son into his arms. “You go have fun. Say Wilmara . . . . won’t your unicorn object to you going “hunting”, even with a woman? I don’t understand why she still likes you. I mean, how are you a virgin?”
“Yes, I see what you mean,” replied Wilmara. “Even before my redfoot, I had Shared Pleasures with other Girls. You mother just taught me how to be better at it. I had even used my mouth to Relieve your Need once. I’m not even an intact virgin, all that unicorn and horse riding broke my hymen years ago. I’m not sure why, but only Sharing Pleasures fully with men seems to bother the unicorns. So as long as I don’t do that, I can keep riding unicorns forever.”
“Reađy to go?” asked Đelđuma, as she took Wimara by the hand. “I have hearđ štorieš about Zariz’s mother’š škill in the furš with women. I am anxiouš to šee what šhe taught you . . .”
When Đelđuma finally returned, glowing with happiness, she was not holding hands with Wilmara, the woman she’d left with. Instead she was with Đoljan, a Weez-ur from the Nott Član who had married into the Everarđ Član. He kissed her goodbye before turning to Zariz to tell him: “You are a very lučky man!”
“What happened to Wilmara?” asked Zariz.
“Oh šhe waš wonđerful!” gushed Đelđuma. “Šhe really knew how to Pleaše me! But after we finišheđ, Šhe wanteđ to đo šome ačtual hunting. I was on my way bačk here, feeling all Pleašury, when Đoljan aškeđ me to go “hunting” with him. And now I’m šo full of Pleašure I feel like my heart iš going to buršt!”
Đelđuma took her son back in her arms and hugged him to her, while giving her mate a look that let Zariz know she’d be wanting to Share Pleasures with her tonight.
“Why đon’t you go “hunting”?” suggested Đelđuma. “I čan take čare of thingš here for a while.”
“If you”re sure . . . .” asked Zariz.
“Go! . . . Have fun!” laughed Đelđuma.
Picking up his spear-thrower and a few spears, Zariz began strolling through the Summer Gathering, trying to decide who he would invite “hunting”. When he spotted Luna and Ayla returning with their baskets full from foraging, he walked over to them.
“Luna, would you like to go “hunting”?” invited Zariz.
“That could be enjoyable,” mused Luna. “Or . . . we could go flying, if you like.”
“No, I don’t let any woman ride my broom but Đelđuma,” replied Zariz. “It’s something special between us.”
“Could ride my own broom,” reminded Luna.
“That would probably be allowed,” said Zariz, taking his broom out of his pocket and enlarging it, before taking off his wrap. He shrunk his wrap and spears and put them in a small pouch around his neck.
Luna had handed her basket to Alya, pulled out and enlarged her broom, then stripped out of her summer-dress, shrunk it and put it in a similar pouch around her neck. Once she was ready, she straddled her broom and kicked off.
As Zariz followed her into the air, he was too enamored with her assets for it to occur to him that she didn’t need to be naked to fly. He was so used to seeing other Weez-urs and Weeches fly nude, that he didn’t remember that Luna owned the only broom in the world that was stable enough to fly clothed.
When she spotted a good place, Luna landed, pulled out and enlarged a mammoth fur for them to lay on.
Zariz Relieved Luna’s Need eight times before finally Sharing Pleasures with her. Now that they where done he’d fallen asleep on top of her for a second.
“Sorry about that,” said Zariz when he realized he’s drifted off.
“It’s okay,” said Luna, as she hugged him close with her legs wrapped around his to hold him inside her. “I’m glad you can feel so relaxed with me. You know, if Ayla’s theory is correct, then, Zeen defeated your mother’s totem at her 1st Rites. . . . that would make you my grandson. Now in my own time, it was not unheard of amongst purebloods for grandparents to Relieve their Needs with their grandchildren. But usually it was Grandfathers who did that.
Still, our society is a bit different. I mean, you’d never even consider asking Ayla to go “hunting”.”
Zariz shook his head. Luna and Ayla book looked too young to be anyone’s grandmother. But he knew that Ayla was his mother’s mother, and not a suitable partner for Pleasures. But he hadn’t realized that if his mother was right, that Luna might be his grandmother!
“So how do you feel about breaking the taboo with me?” asked Luna, as she started kissing the side out his neck.
Zariz was feeling both bad and turned on by the implications of what they had done. Soon, he was ready to break that taboo again.
This was not the last time Zariz went “flying” with Luna. As the summer progressed, Zariz noticed a pattern. Đelđuma would go “hunting” with Wilmara, then with a man, a different man each time. And she’d still want to Share Pleasures with him again, that night. Zariz was only Sharing Pleasures with Đelđuma and Luna. Each separately. When autumn arrived and the Summer Gathering ended. Wilmara’s and Luna’s affairs with them ended too. In future years, Zariz would pick a single woman to go “hunting” with all summer. While Đelđuma would go “hunting” with a different man or woman every time. After that summer with Wilmara, she never again devoted herself to anyone but Zariz.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Mariza was feeding the storks some fish she had caught in the river when she noticed Maeba approaching her.
(Here we go again!) Thought Esathonia, as she spotted, through Mariza’s eyes, the woman purposely walking towards Mariza. Ever since word had gotten out several years ago about Mariza’s skill at Pleasuring women, Mariza and to some extent her mates had faced a never ending line of women who wanted to go “hunting” with her. Mariza wouldn’t have minded, except that many of these women didn’t actually know it they liked Sharing with other women. They just wanted Mariza to help them give it a try. (Do I need to come back and make her trade for the right to ask you?)
(No. I sense she isn’t here to ask me “hunting”) thought Mariza.
Maeba was fully Clan. Her mother, Luna had transfigured her from being fully Other to Fully Clan. But the had retained her original coloration. Her black hair and slighly tan skin looked like either Zar’s or Ranec’s spirit. And she had her mother’s gray eyes. But although she dressed herself in a Clan style wrap tied around her hips. She didn’t carry herself like a woman of the Clan. Her Clan memories were derived from Luna and her mother before her, matrilineally back to the dawn of time.
“This woman greets you,” signed Mariza.
“This woman greets you,” signed back Maeba.
Although Maeba retained her ability to understand the languages of the Others, she could no longer pronounce all the words. So Mariza was signing to her as a courtesy.
“How may this woman assist you?” signed Mariza.
“This Weech had noticed that you have tamed storks,” signed Maeba.
“Yes, this Weech injured one last autumn and healed it over the winter,” signed Mariza.
(when you weren’t having make-up Pleasures with Đučaviča and Vezava) thought Esathonia.
(Or reunion Pleasures with you . . . and using it to charge your ceiling painting) thought back Mariza to her soul-mate, who was always with her in her thoughts.
“That first stork gave this Weech the idea of taking several chicks and raising them.” signed Mariza. “This Weech thinks that the storks will be about to carry heavier burdens that owls when they are grown.”
Maeba nodded in understanding.
“Do you think the storks with be able to carry something as large as a baby?” asked Maeba.
“Why would you want to have a stork carry a baby?” signed Mariza. “Are you thinking of having it follow you while you are on your broom?”
“No, this woman had not even considered that possibility.” signed Maeba. “This woman is concerned about the future. Ceban has told us that when we start our own clan, babies that do not look Clan enough will not be accepted. In the old Clan, babies that the Leader did not accept were put out to die! This woman is so afraid of having an unacceptable baby that this woman avoids men who are not fully Clan. This woman is afraid the wrong man’s spirit will defeat her totem. When you have finished training them, this woman would like to trade for a stork so she can send rejected babies to another clan.”
“You do not need to trade for it!” signed Mariza “This Weech will gift you a Stork so you can send any rejected babies to be raised by This Leader’s Clan.
But this Weech doe not think you need to worry about a man defeating you totem just by being near you. Only Sharing Pleasures makes babies . . . makes babies . . . makes . . .”
Mariza lost the ability to sign. as she was laughing too hard.
(Oh Sweet Luna! It’s true! Luna is right! Storks DO bring babies!)
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
This summer also marked the official beginning of a rivalry of sorts. Mariza continued to try to tame a new animal each year. While Luna continued transfiguring a new one into existence. Many, like this year’s Owl-bears, were not amenable to domestication and had to be released into the wild, or killed before they escaped into the wild.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Many Weeches and Weez-urs had come to the spring Mother Festival for the final Charging of Esathonia’s painting of the ceiling of their cave. And based on the final result, it was decided to admit Easthonia into the clanlunae with her serving a summer as a Redfoot. So this summer, she was initiated into the ranks of the clanlunae.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
When the Summer Gathering ended, Đelđuma ended her relationship with Wilmara. As only a young adult can, she’d frittered away the summer on child care and Pleasures. Now there were animals to be hunted and plants to be gathered. She no longer had free time to “go hunting” with Wilmara. Not unless they were hunting for real, to bring back meat for their cave. But in spite of the change in the relationship between the two women, Wilmara, Zariz and Đoroči remained the best of friends.
With the coming of Autumn, Luna began concentrating on teaching her students. So she and Zariz smoothly made the transition from lovers to Teacher and student.
Zariz was now getting one-on-one individual instruction on advanced Divination, potions and Herbalogy from Luna, Ayla and Iza, respectively, just had his mother, Mariza, had before him. He was also learning advanced Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes alongside Wilmara, Đoroči, Ceban and Drorg. Classes his mother had taken before him. But he was also learning things that his mother, Mariza, had been unable to grasp: advanced silent casting of Charms, Transfiguration, and Defence Against the Dark Arts. Of course, Ceban and Drorg, had been casting silently from the begining. But for the other three this was a difficult new skill. By the end of winter, Zariz had even learned to apparate. (Another skill his mother never acquired).
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Near the end of Autumn, Mariza, Esathonia and Vezava were out foraging for the last of the fall fruits, when they spotted and stranger approaching, leading a pair of reindeer that were pulling a travois loaded with supplies. Once she’d over come her shock, Mariza put down her basket and led the other two women to greet the stranger. As they approached, Mariza realized that the skins of which the stranger’s clothes were made were all reindeer skins. The stranger had an odd look and way of moving that made it impossible for Mariza to guess the gender of the stranger.
“K fkalkn nfkđjfnekfđkfn neim mš Haratumariza,” said the wo/man, as s/he grasped Mariza’s hands. “Ai am kel Harat msš ekl Haratumarizoi, čild mš Hrećak.”
“In the name of Luna I give you greetings,” returned Mariza. “ I am Mariza the Weech, Leader of the Hufflepuff Clan of the Clanluna, daughter of Ayla, born to the hearth of Zar, mother of Zariz, Širiža, Vantha, Zelana, and Donia. Mated to Esathonia, Zurbgranaza, Đučaviča, Vezava, and Đebotiča.”
“Mariza? . . . Haratumariza!” squealed the stranger as s/he fell to ground and bowed at Mariza’s feet.
“Get up!” shout Mariza, as she tugged on the stranger’s arm.
It had been years since she had heard this particular language spoken. But Mariza remembered enough to get some basic information from the stranger. Apparently, she was a Herat, One-who-Serves-the-Mother, for the Haratumoi, the people that Mariza had visited briefly during her journey here, years ago. This Herat was much younger than the one she had known back then. And apparently, her visit had caused big changes in their people. They had changed the name of their people to the Haratumarizoi. And they had decided that Haratumariza, or Mariza was the Great Mother! The deer had already been at the center of Haratumoi spirituality. Meeting Mariza’s snorkacks had inspired them to domesticate reindeer.
Once Mariza had convinced the Herat to get up and spoken a little to hir, Mariza and the others, led the Herat and hir reindeer back towards the cave. As they drew closer, Herat spotted the small mixed herd of horses, mammoth, pushme-pullyous and snorkacks, grazing on the parktundra.
Like all strangers that encounter the Clanluna, Herat was suitably awed. This was the beginning a trade route between his people and the Hufflepuff clan of the Clanluna. . . But not before, Mariza discovered that this particular Herat was male and the father of her next daughter. (She’d stopped taking the totem strengthening herb so that Priamen could sire her next daughter. But hadn’t expected the herb to be flushed from her system so early)
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
At the next Summer Gathering, Zariz went “hunting” exclusively with Đoroči’s mate, Greeva. She had picked him at the previous Winter Mother festival.
The next year, Đoroči’s other mate, Vojnza, picked Zariz at the Winter Mother Festival.
Zariz was now in his final year of magical studies. Learning the most advanced magic, like portkeys, that his teachers knew to teach. There were a few people who were more advanced in specific areas than any of the members of the Abraxas Clan and it was a shame that them were not there to teach. Mariza was more advanced in Care of Magical Creatures than anyone else alive. She and the Centaurs were slightly more advanced in Astronomy than any one else. And they had each gone in different directions in their studies. Mara was the most advanced person in Defense Against the Dark Arts. But she was no longer spoken of.
While Zariz was studying magic, Đelđuma was studying to be a clanluna from Iga and the other clanlunae. Đelđuma was the daughter Krstulović, the Đumbleđore Član’s članluna. So it was expected that she would follow in her mother’s and older sister’s footsteps. All the Weeches were also trained to be clanlunae if the need arose, just as all Weez-urs were trained as mog-urs.
Finally the Summer Gathering arrived. In order to be ordained as clanlunae, Delduma and Wilmara would have to spend a summer as a redfoot. Luna’s daughter, Kohnša, had volunteered by redfooted by Wilmara, even though she still had her 1st Rites.
There were 7 people needing a redfoot this year. Wearing only their red skirts, with the soles of their feet dyed red, Wilmara and Đelđuma gathered with the other redfoots as Iga gave them final instructions. This year’s redfoots were: Thonda, Lana, Selene, Tayla, Đeđiča, Đelđuma and Wilmara. When it was time to begin, they all sashayed out of the cave with their sexiest walk and picked a young man. Wilmara picked the other young woman of the group, Kohnša.
Once everyone had arrived and the opening ceremonies were done, Luna gathered all the magical teachers to discuss the 5th and 7th year students. After that had agreed on who would be taking which 6th Year classes next year, the discussion turned to the 7th year students. . . .
“Ceban appears to have Clan memories of me up to around the time he was born,” said Zeen. “Like a Clan man, he has trouble with creating new things, but he can cast any charm I could 20 years ago. As a result, I am no longer the only maker of decent wands or brooms. And I think the other men who are going to be in his Clan will turn out the same way.
Drorg, Đoroči, Zariz and Wilmara are all acceptably proficient in Charms.”
“I haven’t seen a student like Zariz before, ever.” said Luna. “Maeba, with her Clan memories of me, could do anything I could do. But Zariz can do things I can’t do. I don’t just mean advanced potions either. He has a knack for combining different kinds of magic, even more so than his mother Mariza. I mean we’ve all seen how Mariza has combined Astronomy and Runes in that Stone circle of hers. Or how she combined potions, Runes and her mate’s painting skill to create that ceiling of hers. But I think that if Zariz tried something like that he wouldn’t need to bring in Zeen to cast the Charms to link them together. It’s too bad he couldn’t take arithmacy . . .”
“You’ve mentioned that branch of magic before,” said Iza. “What is Arithmacy?”
“Well I didn’t take Arithmacy myself,” confessed Luna. “But I did ask my friend, Hermione about it once. They start in 3rd year by teaching Trigonometry and kind of math involving angles invented by the Greeks. In 4th Year, they learn Al-Gebra, a kind of Math invented by the Arabs. Though Hermione said that muggles actually use Al-Gebra to do trig. But I don’t know how that would work. It is not until 5th year that Artithmacy really begins. It’s a way of mathmatically describing magic that allows, at the really advanced level, the creation of new kinds of magic. I’ve heard that the muggles of my time have an analog called calculatorsaurus. It was apparently invented completely by a lone muggle genius named Fig Newton. He was the the Son of Abraham Lincoln and the half-brother of Hagar the Horrible. He had two sons: See-saw and Jacob Marley. I forget what they were famous for.”
“Well, having Zariz in my advanced potions class had created a new situation for me,” said Ayla. “As you know, ever since Iza, I have been teaching all of the Weeches who were taking both advanced Herbalogy and potions how to be Medicine Women. Until now, all of them have been my daughters or their daughters. But Zariz is the first man to be skilled in both. I tried to teach him a little about being a Medicine Woman to see if he could learn it. And when he learned that, I taught him more . . . . I think Zeen should perform the ceremony to make him our first Medicine Man.”
ĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐ
The Summer Gathering was drawing to a close. Kohnša, the young woman that Wilmara had redfooted for, had asked Šarič of the Đumbleđore član to be her mate.
In a public ceremony Zariz, Đoroči, Ceban, and Drorg were ordained mog-urs (even though they probably wouldn’t fill that role in their Clan unless therewas no one more senior to fill the role) Đelđuma and Wilmara were amongst those ordained as clanlunae. Then Zariz was ordained as the very first Medicine Man.
The next day, Đelđuma nervously approached Zariz.
“Zariz honey, you know how I mađe you promiše that when you finišhed your magičal training that we woulđ move bačk to live with my član?” asked Đelđuma, as she wrung her hands and refused to look her mate in the eye.
“Yes,” answered Zariz, wondering why she was so nervous.
“Well, I just finished talking to Grević,” said Đelđuma. “He’š šplitting off from our član štarting a new one and he’š aškeđ me to be hiš članluna. Pleaše Zariz! This woulđ be an opportunity to štart out frešh for both of uš!”
“Of course we can,” replied Zariz. “I’ll ta-”
Zariz’s thoughts were interrupted as his mate squealed and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
“So tell me about this idea for a new clan?” Zariz later asked Grević of the Đumbleđore Član.
“He’s agreed?” Grević asked Đelđuma, as she nodded in reply. “Well, I will be Leader, Ood will be mog-ur and clanluna. But Đelđuma will be chief članluna. We have four weez-urs, but you would be our healing expert. . . Medicine Man . . .”
“Do you have a cave picked out?” asked Zariz.
“No,” admitted Grević. “That will be our first priority. We’ll travel with the tipis and hunt while we search for a suitable cave.”
“Sounds like quite an adventure!” said Zariz. “I’m looking forward to it!”
“Looking forward to what?” asked Đoroči as he and his family strolled by.
Vojnza, Đoroči’s 2nd mate, smiled at Zariz widely and wrapped her arm around his so she could put her head on his shoulder. Đoroči and Đelđuma rolled their eyes at her antics. She and Zariz had gone “hunting” often this summer and from the beginning she had tried to use her relationship with Zariz to make her mate jealous. But she had failed utterly. The two men’s friendship was too strong to let her manipulations to come between them.
“We’re starting a new član with Grević,” explained Đelđuma.
“Really?” asked Đoroči. “Bren and Creba are doing the same thing. We’re going to be a part of it.”
“Looks like I’ll be the only one staying with her own clan,” said Wilmara, as she approached.
“What happened to kohnša?” asked Zariz.
“She asked Šarič of the Đumbleđore član to be her mate,” replied Wilmara, sadly.
“I’m sorry,” said Zariz, putting his free hand on her shoulder in sympathy.
“It’s all right . . .” replied Wilmara wistfully. “Perhaps it’s for the best. I’m not really supposed to Share Pleasures with her for a year after being her redfoot anyway. . . . guess I’m still the woman-who-mated-a-Unicorn. . .”
Her friends nodded thoughtfully.
“Anyway, I am going to miss you!” said Wilmara before hugging, Đoroči, then Zariz, Đelđuma, Greeva and somewhat reluctantly, Vojnza.
Soon it was time to ride the portkeys back to their caves. Zariz and Đelđuma would first be going back to the Đumbleđore član’s cave. The others would be returning to Abraxas clan’s cave.

Winter turned to Spring and Spring into summer. Soon it was time to once again evaluate a group of students who had just finished their 5th year.
“I’ve given it a lot of thought,” began Luna. “I think all of them are capable of handling the more advanced material in Defense, Transfiguration, Care and Runes next year. But only Zariz seems competent in Divination. Zeen?”
“I’m certain that all of them can handle the more advanced Charms,” reported Zeen. “In fact, Ceban and Drorg have been casting their Charms silently from the beginning.”
“Zariz seems to be the only one of them with the memories for Potions,” announced Ayla. “He’s only one of them I’ll continue to teach next year.”
“Zariz is also the only one who has the knack for Herbalogy,” added Iza.
“I don’t think we’ve every had a student like Zariz before,” observed Luna. “Although he’s not the best student I’ve ever had in any one subject, he is good enough continue to the N.E.W.T. level in every subject I did, plus, Potions. I think if we had someone who knew Arithmacy or Astronomy or Alchemy at the N.E.W.T. level, he’d be able to handle all those too.”
“I’ve never seen a student like Ceban before either,” added Zeen. “He has more complete Clan memories than any Weez-ur I’d seen before. When he starts that new clan of people like him, the results will be interesting . . . especially with Maeba as their clanluna. A Clan woman whose Clan memories are derived from Luna . . . wow!”
“So We’re agreed?” asked Ayla. “Zariz will continue in Divination, Herbalogy and Potions, and everyone will continue in all the other subjects.”
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Zariz and his family were sitting outside their tipi at the Summer Gathering. Đelđuma had just finished nursing her son, Želžum, while Zariz was knapping some new tools. Transfigured blades were not as sturdy, so it was better to knap them by hand.
Wilmara came walking over wearing a very tight summer-dress.
“Đelđuma, would you like to go “hunting”?” asked Wilmara.
“Huh? Oh. Ooooooh! Yeš, I think I might enjoy going “hunting” with you,” replied Đelđuma, before indicating her baby.
“I can take care of him,” offered Zariz as he took her son into his arms. “You go have fun. Say Wilmara . . . . won’t your unicorn object to you going “hunting”, even with a woman? I don’t understand why she still likes you. I mean, how are you a virgin?”
“Yes, I see what you mean,” replied Wilmara. “Even before my redfoot, I had Shared Pleasures with other Girls. You mother just taught me how to be better at it. I had even used my mouth to Relieve your Need once. I’m not even an intact virgin, all that unicorn and horse riding broke my hymen years ago. I’m not sure why, but only Sharing Pleasures fully with men seems to bother the unicorns. So as long as I don’t do that, I can keep riding unicorns forever.”
“Reađy to go?” asked Đelđuma, as she took Wimara by the hand. “I have hearđ štorieš about Zariz’s mother’š škill in the furš with women. I am anxiouš to šee what šhe taught you . . .”
When Đelđuma finally returned, glowing with happiness, she was not holding hands with Wilmara, the woman she’d left with. Instead she was with Đoljan, a Weez-ur from the Nott Član who had married into the Everarđ Član. He kissed her goodbye before turning to Zariz to tell him: “You are a very lučky man!”
“What happened to Wilmara?” asked Zariz.
“Oh šhe waš wonđerful!” gushed Đelđuma. “Šhe really knew how to Pleaše me! But after we finišheđ, Šhe wanteđ to đo šome ačtual hunting. I was on my way bačk here, feeling all Pleašury, when Đoljan aškeđ me to go “hunting” with him. And now I’m šo full of Pleašure I feel like my heart iš going to buršt!”
Đelđuma took her son back in her arms and hugged him to her, while giving her mate a look that let Zariz know she’d be wanting to Share Pleasures with her tonight.
“Why đon’t you go “hunting”?” suggested Đelđuma. “I čan take čare of thingš here for a while.”
“If you”re sure . . . .” asked Zariz.
“Go! . . . Have fun!” laughed Đelđuma.
Picking up his spear-thrower and a few spears, Zariz began strolling through the Summer Gathering, trying to decide who he would invite “hunting”. When he spotted Luna and Ayla returning with their baskets full from foraging, he walked over to them.
“Luna, would you like to go “hunting”?” invited Zariz.
“That could be enjoyable,” mused Luna. “Or . . . we could go flying, if you like.”
“No, I don’t let any woman ride my broom but Đelđuma,” replied Zariz. “It’s something special between us.”
“Could ride my own broom,” reminded Luna.
“That would probably be allowed,” said Zariz, taking his broom out of his pocket and enlarging it, before taking off his wrap. He shrunk his wrap and spears and put them in a small pouch around his neck.
Luna had handed her basket to Alya, pulled out and enlarged her broom, then stripped out of her summer-dress, shrunk it and put it in a similar pouch around her neck. Once she was ready, she straddled her broom and kicked off.
As Zariz followed her into the air, he was too enamored with her assets for it to occur to him that she didn’t need to be naked to fly. He was so used to seeing other Weez-urs and Weeches fly nude, that he didn’t remember that Luna owned the only broom in the world that was stable enough to fly clothed.
When she spotted a good place, Luna landed, pulled out and enlarged a mammoth fur for them to lay on.
Zariz Relieved Luna’s Need eight times before finally Sharing Pleasures with her. Now that they where done he’d fallen asleep on top of her for a second.
“Sorry about that,” said Zariz when he realized he’s drifted off.
“It’s okay,” said Luna, as she hugged him close with her legs wrapped around his to hold him inside her. “I’m glad you can feel so relaxed with me. You know, if Ayla’s theory is correct, then, Zeen defeated your mother’s totem at her 1st Rites. . . . that would make you my grandson. Now in my own time, it was not unheard of amongst purebloods for grandparents to Relieve their Needs with their grandchildren. But usually it was Grandfathers who did that.
Still, our society is a bit different. I mean, you’d never even consider asking Ayla to go “hunting”.”
Zariz shook his head. Luna and Ayla book looked too young to be anyone’s grandmother. But he knew that Ayla was his mother’s mother, and not a suitable partner for Pleasures. But he hadn’t realized that if his mother was right, that Luna might be his grandmother!
“So how do you feel about breaking the taboo with me?” asked Luna, as she started kissing the side out his neck.
Zariz was feeling both bad and turned on by the implications of what they had done. Soon, he was ready to break that taboo again.
This was not the last time Zariz went “flying” with Luna. As the summer progressed, Zariz noticed a pattern. Đelđuma would go “hunting” with Wilmara, then with a man, a different man each time. And she’d still want to Share Pleasures with him again, that night. Zariz was only Sharing Pleasures with Đelđuma and Luna. Each separately. When autumn arrived and the Summer Gathering ended. Wilmara’s and Luna’s affairs with them ended too. In future years, Zariz would pick a single woman to go “hunting” with all summer. While Đelđuma would go “hunting” with a different man or woman every time. After that summer with Wilmara, she never again devoted herself to anyone but Zariz.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Mariza was feeding the storks some fish she had caught in the river when she noticed Maeba approaching her.
(Here we go again!) Thought Esathonia, as she spotted, through Mariza’s eyes, the woman purposely walking towards Mariza. Ever since word had gotten out several years ago about Mariza’s skill at Pleasuring women, Mariza and to some extent her mates had faced a never ending line of women who wanted to go “hunting” with her. Mariza wouldn’t have minded, except that many of these women didn’t actually know it they liked Sharing with other women. They just wanted Mariza to help them give it a try. (Do I need to come back and make her trade for the right to ask you?)
(No. I sense she isn’t here to ask me “hunting”) thought Mariza.
Maeba was fully Clan. Her mother, Luna had transfigured her from being fully Other to Fully Clan. But the had retained her original coloration. Her black hair and slighly tan skin looked like either Zar’s or Ranec’s spirit. And she had her mother’s gray eyes. But although she dressed herself in a Clan style wrap tied around her hips. She didn’t carry herself like a woman of the Clan. Her Clan memories were derived from Luna and her mother before her, matrilineally back to the dawn of time.
“This woman greets you,” signed Mariza.
“This woman greets you,” signed back Maeba.
Although Maeba retained her ability to understand the languages of the Others, she could no longer pronounce all the words. So Mariza was signing to her as a courtesy.
“How may this woman assist you?” signed Mariza.
“This Weech had noticed that you have tamed storks,” signed Maeba.
“Yes, this Weech injured one last autumn and healed it over the winter,” signed Mariza.
(when you weren’t having make-up Pleasures with Đučaviča and Vezava) thought Esathonia.
(Or reunion Pleasures with you . . . and using it to charge your ceiling painting) thought back Mariza to her soul-mate, who was always with her in her thoughts.
“That first stork gave this Weech the idea of taking several chicks and raising them.” signed Mariza. “This Weech thinks that the storks will be about to carry heavier burdens that owls when they are grown.”
Maeba nodded in understanding.
“Do you think the storks with be able to carry something as large as a baby?” asked Maeba.
“Why would you want to have a stork carry a baby?” signed Mariza. “Are you thinking of having it follow you while you are on your broom?”
“No, this woman had not even considered that possibility.” signed Maeba. “This woman is concerned about the future. Ceban has told us that when we start our own clan, babies that do not look Clan enough will not be accepted. In the old Clan, babies that the Leader did not accept were put out to die! This woman is so afraid of having an unacceptable baby that this woman avoids men who are not fully Clan. This woman is afraid the wrong man’s spirit will defeat her totem. When you have finished training them, this woman would like to trade for a stork so she can send rejected babies to another clan.”
“You do not need to trade for it!” signed Mariza “This Weech will gift you a Stork so you can send any rejected babies to be raised by This Leader’s Clan.
But this Weech doe not think you need to worry about a man defeating you totem just by being near you. Only Sharing Pleasures makes babies . . . makes babies . . . makes . . .”
Mariza lost the ability to sign. as she was laughing too hard.
(Oh Sweet Luna! It’s true! Luna is right! Storks DO bring babies!)
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
This summer also marked the official beginning of a rivalry of sorts. Mariza continued to try to tame a new animal each year. While Luna continued transfiguring a new one into existence. Many, like this year’s Owl-bears, were not amenable to domestication and had to be released into the wild, or killed before they escaped into the wild.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Many Weeches and Weez-urs had come to the spring Mother Festival for the final Charging of Esathonia’s painting of the ceiling of their cave. And based on the final result, it was decided to admit Easthonia into the clanlunae with her serving a summer as a Redfoot. So this summer, she was initiated into the ranks of the clanlunae.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
When the Summer Gathering ended, Đelđuma ended her relationship with Wilmara. As only a young adult can, she’d frittered away the summer on child care and Pleasures. Now there were animals to be hunted and plants to be gathered. She no longer had free time to “go hunting” with Wilmara. Not unless they were hunting for real, to bring back meat for their cave. But in spite of the change in the relationship between the two women, Wilmara, Zariz and Đoroči remained the best of friends.
With the coming of Autumn, Luna began concentrating on teaching her students. So she and Zariz smoothly made the transition from lovers to Teacher and student.
Zariz was now getting one-on-one individual instruction on advanced Divination, potions and Herbalogy from Luna, Ayla and Iza, respectively, just had his mother, Mariza, had before him. He was also learning advanced Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes alongside Wilmara, Đoroči, Ceban and Drorg. Classes his mother had taken before him. But he was also learning things that his mother, Mariza, had been unable to grasp: advanced silent casting of Charms, Transfiguration, and Defence Against the Dark Arts. Of course, Ceban and Drorg, had been casting silently from the begining. But for the other three this was a difficult new skill. By the end of winter, Zariz had even learned to apparate. (Another skill his mother never acquired).
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Near the end of Autumn, Mariza, Esathonia and Vezava were out foraging for the last of the fall fruits, when they spotted and stranger approaching, leading a pair of reindeer that were pulling a travois loaded with supplies. Once she’d over come her shock, Mariza put down her basket and led the other two women to greet the stranger. As they approached, Mariza realized that the skins of which the stranger’s clothes were made were all reindeer skins. The stranger had an odd look and way of moving that made it impossible for Mariza to guess the gender of the stranger.
“K fkalkn nfkđjfnekfđkfn neim mš Haratumariza,” said the wo/man, as s/he grasped Mariza’s hands. “Ai am kel Harat msš ekl Haratumarizoi, čild mš Hrećak.”
“In the name of Luna I give you greetings,” returned Mariza. “ I am Mariza the Weech, Leader of the Hufflepuff Clan of the Clanluna, daughter of Ayla, born to the hearth of Zar, mother of Zariz, Širiža, Vantha, Zelana, and Donia. Mated to Esathonia, Zurbgranaza, Đučaviča, Vezava, and Đebotiča.”
“Mariza? . . . Haratumariza!” squealed the stranger as s/he fell to ground and bowed at Mariza’s feet.
“Get up!” shout Mariza, as she tugged on the stranger’s arm.
It had been years since she had heard this particular language spoken. But Mariza remembered enough to get some basic information from the stranger. Apparently, she was a Herat, One-who-Serves-the-Mother, for the Haratumoi, the people that Mariza had visited briefly during her journey here, years ago. This Herat was much younger than the one she had known back then. And apparently, her visit had caused big changes in their people. They had changed the name of their people to the Haratumarizoi. And they had decided that Haratumariza, or Mariza was the Great Mother! The deer had already been at the center of Haratumoi spirituality. Meeting Mariza’s snorkacks had inspired them to domesticate reindeer.
Once Mariza had convinced the Herat to get up and spoken a little to hir, Mariza and the others, led the Herat and hir reindeer back towards the cave. As they drew closer, Herat spotted the small mixed herd of horses, mammoth, pushme-pullyous and snorkacks, grazing on the parktundra.
Like all strangers that encounter the Clanluna, Herat was suitably awed. This was the beginning a trade route between his people and the Hufflepuff clan of the Clanluna. . . But not before, Mariza discovered that this particular Herat was male and the father of her next daughter. (She’d stopped taking the totem strengthening herb so that Priamen could sire her next daughter. But hadn’t expected the herb to be flushed from her system so early)
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
At the next Summer Gathering, Zariz went “hunting” exclusively with Đoroči’s mate, Greeva. She had picked him at the previous Winter Mother festival.
The next year, Đoroči’s other mate, Vojnza, picked Zariz at the Winter Mother Festival.
Zariz was now in his final year of magical studies. Learning the most advanced magic, like portkeys, that his teachers knew to teach. There were a few people who were more advanced in specific areas than any of the members of the Abraxas Clan and it was a shame that them were not there to teach. Mariza was more advanced in Care of Magical Creatures than anyone else alive. She and the Centaurs were slightly more advanced in Astronomy than any one else. And they had each gone in different directions in their studies. Mara was the most advanced person in Defense Against the Dark Arts. But she was no longer spoken of.
While Zariz was studying magic, Đelđuma was studying to be a clanluna from Iga and the other clanlunae. Đelđuma was the daughter Krstulović, the Đumbleđore Član’s članluna. So it was expected that she would follow in her mother’s and older sister’s footsteps. All the Weeches were also trained to be clanlunae if the need arose, just as all Weez-urs were trained as mog-urs.
Finally the Summer Gathering arrived. In order to be ordained as clanlunae, Delduma and Wilmara would have to spend a summer as a redfoot. Luna’s daughter, Kohnša, had volunteered by redfooted by Wilmara, even though she still had her 1st Rites.
There were 7 people needing a redfoot this year. Wearing only their red skirts, with the soles of their feet dyed red, Wilmara and Đelđuma gathered with the other redfoots as Iga gave them final instructions. This year’s redfoots were: Thonda, Lana, Selene, Tayla, Đeđiča, Đelđuma and Wilmara. When it was time to begin, they all sashayed out of the cave with their sexiest walk and picked a young man. Wilmara picked the other young woman of the group, Kohnša.
Once everyone had arrived and the opening ceremonies were done, Luna gathered all the magical teachers to discuss the 5th and 7th year students. After that had agreed on who would be taking which 6th Year classes next year, the discussion turned to the 7th year students. . . .
“Ceban appears to have Clan memories of me up to around the time he was born,” said Zeen. “Like a Clan man, he has trouble with creating new things, but he can cast any charm I could 20 years ago. As a result, I am no longer the only maker of decent wands or brooms. And I think the other men who are going to be in his Clan will turn out the same way.
Drorg, Đoroči, Zariz and Wilmara are all acceptably proficient in Charms.”
“I haven’t seen a student like Zariz before, ever.” said Luna. “Maeba, with her Clan memories of me, could do anything I could do. But Zariz can do things I can’t do. I don’t just mean advanced potions either. He has a knack for combining different kinds of magic, even more so than his mother Mariza. I mean we’ve all seen how Mariza has combined Astronomy and Runes in that Stone circle of hers. Or how she combined potions, Runes and her mate’s painting skill to create that ceiling of hers. But I think that if Zariz tried something like that he wouldn’t need to bring in Zeen to cast the Charms to link them together. It’s too bad he couldn’t take arithmacy . . .”
“You’ve mentioned that branch of magic before,” said Iza. “What is Arithmacy?”
“Well I didn’t take Arithmacy myself,” confessed Luna. “But I did ask my friend, Hermione about it once. They start in 3rd year by teaching Trigonometry and kind of math involving angles invented by the Greeks. In 4th Year, they learn Al-Gebra, a kind of Math invented by the Arabs. Though Hermione said that muggles actually use Al-Gebra to do trig. But I don’t know how that would work. It is not until 5th year that Artithmacy really begins. It’s a way of mathmatically describing magic that allows, at the really advanced level, the creation of new kinds of magic. I’ve heard that the muggles of my time have an analog called calculatorsaurus. It was apparently invented completely by a lone muggle genius named Fig Newton. He was the the Son of Abraham Lincoln and the half-brother of Hagar the Horrible. He had two sons: See-saw and Jacob Marley. I forget what they were famous for.”
“Well, having Zariz in my advanced potions class had created a new situation for me,” said Ayla. “As you know, ever since Iza, I have been teaching all of the Weeches who were taking both advanced Herbalogy and potions how to be Medicine Women. Until now, all of them have been my daughters or their daughters. But Zariz is the first man to be skilled in both. I tried to teach him a little about being a Medicine Woman to see if he could learn it. And when he learned that, I taught him more . . . . I think Zeen should perform the ceremony to make him our first Medicine Man.”
ĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐĐ
The Summer Gathering was drawing to a close. Kohnša, the young woman that Wilmara had redfooted for, had asked Šarič of the Đumbleđore član to be her mate.
In a public ceremony Zariz, Đoroči, Ceban, and Drorg were ordained mog-urs (even though they probably wouldn’t fill that role in their Clan unless therewas no one more senior to fill the role) Đelđuma and Wilmara were amongst those ordained as clanlunae. Then Zariz was ordained as the very first Medicine Man.
The next day, Đelđuma nervously approached Zariz.
“Zariz honey, you know how I mađe you promiše that when you finišhed your magičal training that we woulđ move bačk to live with my član?” asked Đelđuma, as she wrung her hands and refused to look her mate in the eye.
“Yes,” answered Zariz, wondering why she was so nervous.
“Well, I just finished talking to Grević,” said Đelđuma. “He’š šplitting off from our član štarting a new one and he’š aškeđ me to be hiš članluna. Pleaše Zariz! This woulđ be an opportunity to štart out frešh for both of uš!”
“Of course we can,” replied Zariz. “I’ll ta-”
Zariz’s thoughts were interrupted as his mate squealed and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
“So tell me about this idea for a new clan?” Zariz later asked Grević of the Đumbleđore Član.
“He’s agreed?” Grević asked Đelđuma, as she nodded in reply. “Well, I will be Leader, Ood will be mog-ur and clanluna. But Đelđuma will be chief članluna. We have four weez-urs, but you would be our healing expert. . . Medicine Man . . .”
“Do you have a cave picked out?” asked Zariz.
“No,” admitted Grević. “That will be our first priority. We’ll travel with the tipis and hunt while we search for a suitable cave.”
“Sounds like quite an adventure!” said Zariz. “I’m looking forward to it!”
“Looking forward to what?” asked Đoroči as he and his family strolled by.
Vojnza, Đoroči’s 2nd mate, smiled at Zariz widely and wrapped her arm around his so she could put her head on his shoulder. Đoroči and Đelđuma rolled their eyes at her antics. She and Zariz had gone “hunting” often this summer and from the beginning she had tried to use her relationship with Zariz to make her mate jealous. But she had failed utterly. The two men’s friendship was too strong to let her manipulations to come between them.
“We’re starting a new član with Grević,” explained Đelđuma.
“Really?” asked Đoroči. “Bren and Creba are doing the same thing. We’re going to be a part of it.”
“Looks like I’ll be the only one staying with her own clan,” said Wilmara, as she approached.
“What happened to kohnša?” asked Zariz.
“She asked Šarič of the Đumbleđore član to be her mate,” replied Wilmara, sadly.
“I’m sorry,” said Zariz, putting his free hand on her shoulder in sympathy.
“It’s all right . . .” replied Wilmara wistfully. “Perhaps it’s for the best. I’m not really supposed to Share Pleasures with her for a year after being her redfoot anyway. . . . guess I’m still the woman-who-mated-a-Unicorn. . .”
Her friends nodded thoughtfully.
“Anyway, I am going to miss you!” said Wilmara before hugging, Đoroči, then Zariz, Đelđuma, Greeva and somewhat reluctantly, Vojnza.
Soon it was time to ride the portkeys back to their caves. Zariz and Đelđuma would first be going back to the Đumbleđore član’s cave. The others would be returning to Abraxas clan’s cave.
