Chapter 60: Clan Gathering
The first thing Uba did was go back to her tent and grab her wand. She hadn’t warn it because she feared it might provoke a confrontation. Now she not longer cared. She stuck it behind her ear and used a sticking charm to keep it there.
Next, she sought out Iga The Clanluna. She had trained her as a clanluna, so Uba knew what to do in situations like this.
“This woman need to have 1st Rites again,” signed Luna.
“What happened? Did someone Force you?” Iga signed.
“My former mate, Vun,” signed Uba. “He didn’t succeed. But he made me so helpless he could have succeeded. This woman felt so powerless! This woman needs a positive experience with a man so that she will not be afraid.”
“This Clanluna see . . .” Iga signed. “You are doing the right thing. Do you have a preference for who will do it? How about Thonlan?”
“No! No. This woman is afraid of making another Mara with him,” signed Uba.
Iga shuddered at her memories of what Luna’s daughter had done to her in her previous life.
“How about Dror?” Uba signed.
“He learned well when this woman was his redfoot,” signed Iga. “This Clanluna will speak with him and arrange it.”
“Oda? Oda!” called out Ayla before walking over to her.
“This woman greets you,” signed Oda.
“This woman greets you,” signed Ayla. “It is good to see you again. How is Ura?”
“She is disappointed that she is not yet a woman,” signed Oda. “The Leader of this woman’s Clan is threatening to Death Curse her. He says that she must be bad luck because she is so old and not yet a woman.”
“She is not bad luck,” signed Ayla. “She is just part Others because the man who defeated our totem was Others. The Other’s age slower than Clan. This woman’s daughter Durciza is the same age and is not yet a woman. This woman will speak to her Leader. This woman is certain he will agree to take her into our Clan. We have many unmated men who would happy to mate her when she becomes a woman.”
“This woman is grateful that you are willing to help her daughter,” signed Oda, before pointing to the baby inside Ayla’s wrap. “This woman sees you have another daughter now.”
“Yes, this Mariza,” signed Ayla. “She is Others, like this woman.”
“It is unfortunate that your oldest daughter was not born a boy,” signed Oda. “If she were, she could have been a mate for Ura.”
“This woman was expecting a boy and was surprised by her,” signed Ayla.
Ayla and Oda wandered over by the caged Cave Bear. Like last time, Ayla reached into the cage and rubbed the bears fur.
“This woman does not understand how you can be so brave,” signed Oda.
“We have a honey lover at our cave,” signed Ayla, glad that they had left her and her cubs at their home cave. “This woman is used to petting winter sleepers. Our mog-ur can even ride her.”
“Your mog-ur must be very powerful!,” Oda signed.
“This woman is confident that he will retain our Clan’s claim to having the 1st ranked Mog-Ur,” signed Ayla.
Wands were given to the men from other Clans that were able to do sling magic. These were no the wands that Dobby had looted from Olivander’s and Harr had carried into the past. Creb was giving away the wands that he had made, himself. He and Harr would then, teach a few simple spells to the me who now knew they were weez-urs. In return, the men of these Clans brought generous gives for Broud’s Clan that Harr stored away in Luna’s trunk.
When the rest of the Clan heard about what happed to Uba, most of them did not understand why Uba was upset. Only those who were Others or mated to Others understood.
Amongst the events of the Clan Gathering with the competitions. Broud led the movement to ban magic from the sling competition. Instead, those who were able to do sling magic staged an exhibition of it. This enhanced the standing of Bround’s Clan.
In the running races, me from other Clans won the short distance running and the run and stab with a spear races. But Thonlan won the long distance race.
There was another debate amongst the Clan as to whether or not Ayla was still the 1st ranked Medicine Woman. Her biggest rival for the title was Uba. Many of the Clan’s didn’t want a woman of the Others to be the 1st Ranked Medicine woman. But when the medicine women discussed it amongst themselves, it was clear that Ayla was the most knowledgable Medicine Woman and the other medicine women all agreed on this. Uba was Ayla’s greatest supporter in this. In the end, Ayla’s bravery at the previous Clan Gathering in risker her life to save a man of the Clan from the cave bear was remembered by people with such strong memories.
Many of the mog-urs, especially the flute playing mog-ur, wanted to unseat Zeen from being the first ranked Mog-Ur. Creb’s endorsement didn’t seem to make a difference. But in a mog-ur’s ceremony to settle the issue, Zeen guided them back through their memories as well as Creb could have. Zeen was now The Mog-Ur, 1st Ranked mog-ur of all the Clans.
This time, Thonlan and Mok and Crag, the two men from other Clans that had won footraces were chosen to fight the cave bear. This time, Ayla recognized the symptoms of the herb that had been given to the Cave Bear to enrage it so. So she could identify it.
As soon as it charged out of the cage, Thonlan dodged out of the way. Mok poked it in the shoulder with his spear, but this only enraged the bear further. Crag thrust for the heart of the Cave Bear, but his spear was swiped out of the way as the Cave Bear’s claws opened up Thonlan’s abdomen. Thonlan fell to the ground, screaming as his guts began sliding out. Uba silently summoned him closer. As he slid towards them, Ayla hopped over him so that her back would shield him if the Cave Bear came after him again. Ayla pulled our her wand.
“Episky!” shouted Ayla, as Thonlan’s wound closed up and healed. She gave him a pain potion, followed by a blood replenishing potion. Uba silently cast switching spells to put the potions inside him. The other medicine when who were swarming around him couldn’t believe their eyes.
The Cave Bear took off Mok’s head with a single swipe as Crag tried again to stab for the Cave Bear’s heart.
Thonlan got to his feet and grabbed his spear.
“No! You need to rest! You were badly hurt!” Ayla signed.
But Thonlan ignored her and threw his spear as hard as he could. It stuck in the bear’s chest, but it was still fighting. Thonlan ran forward and pushed on the spear as hard as he could. It penetrated the Cave Bear’s heart. The Cave bear was dead!
Just as at the previous Clan Gathering, Ayla purified herself and had Uba help her paint her body in the patterns that were required for the most important ceremony. Ayla made the special tea for the mog-ur’s ceremony. Only this time, she didn’t make it too strong. After she had traded it for a bowl of tea from the mog-urs, the individual Clans began their ceremonies, with the men dividing off by Clan and being led by their acolytes. But the women from all the Clans gathered for one large women’s ceremony in the central fire in the middle of the Gathering. As 1st Ranked Medcine Woman, she started off the drumming, Uba and the medicine women from the other Clans soon joined in. The women began to dance and soon threw off their wraps to dance free and uninhibited.
The next morning, Ayla with the first woman to wake. She returned to her tent to make tea for her family. The children were still asleep. This would be a day of rest for the Clans to recover from the ceremonies of the night before. The Clan Gathering was over. The next day each Clan would be returning to their cave.
In the competition for best Clan, Broud’s Clan still had 1st ranked Mog-Ur and the 1st ranked Medicine Woman. Thonlan had won one of the races and killed the Cave Bear after being grievously wounded himself. But his being an Other hurt his Clan’s status. In fact, Broud’s acceptance of so many Other’s had hurt his Clan’s status and in particular, his standing as a Leader. Zab, in particular, had attempted to use the issue to lower Broud’s status as a Leader. But instead, Zab’s out of control rants against the Others and Broud for accepting them lowered Zab’s on status to last ranked Leader of the last ranked Clan. Broud’s Clan held onto its’ status as the 1st ranked Clan by a slim margin.
Harr waved his wand to pack up Broud’s Clan’s possessions into Luna’s trunk, this included a great amount of goods given in trade to their Clan. They left behind, a large amount of dried meet for the host Clan to make up for the hunting done by the other Clans while they had stayed here.
But many of the members of Broud’s were unhappy to be leaving the Clan Gathering. These were the men who had been unmated, in some cases for years. They had hoped to find mates from other Clans. But the other Clans all had a shortage of women. The only new person they were bringing back with them was Ura, a deformed girl who was not yet a woman. The young men were not happy.
