Ice Age

[poohlive]

Sabaka smelled it wavering through the trees. Something faint, but there just the same. He turned to the right, curious as to what exactly was burning.
It was an unmistakable, if faint, aroma of fire. He took in a big whiff, judging the slight breeze that now shook the trees around them.
Yes, a fire, not too far away.
Someone was out here. He wondered who? This was mostly Mammothulus country. The other tribes didn't bother to go this deep into the valley. The only one he could think of off the top of his head was...
This wasn't good at all. He knew of the rivals between them and Saberus. He could see if any of the men back at his tribe knew that someone was so close, they'd kill whoever it was, and then eat him.
They were very cruel when it came to rivals.
He moved swiftly now, expertly terracing the ground beneath him. Under the pale moonlight he moved like an experienced panther through the woods. His stick barely touching the ground as he ducked through ravine's and jumped over low hanging branches.
The warmth and the light now shone in the surrounding trees, symbolizing the fire that was now there.
He stumbled through the last of the brush, to encounter the men who had built it, and warn them of the danger.
Except there were no men.
His stick, which he now held with two hands in front of him, almost like a weapon revealed in the small opening of the forest nothing more than a woman leaning against a tree.
Sabaka walked to the outer edgeso f the fire, glancing deeper in the forest to spot if any of the men had perhaps ran off, or heard of his coming and ducked in hiding.
None that he could see or smell were near though. Just him and...
a female?
He had not seen her before, so he could only assume she was from Saberus. Although, in his darkest dreams he could not imagine what a woman, from another tribe would be doing out here, so close to his tribe.
Did she realze how much danger she was in?
"Are you," he almost didn't want to hear the answer, cause he knew it already, "Are you alone out in the forest?"
He tried not to sound it, but he looked at her as if she had lost her sanity.

Sacara

I eflt the realease on my arm as I fell t the floor of the eath with a thud. I watched in horror as he started to pull something from his fur. I though a knife to kill me. I backed away sheiding my eyes from the expected blow adna peice of meat was handed to me. It had been so long since meat was offered to me. I snatched it away and started to nibble on it hoarding it like a starved animal. "thank you" came silently from my lips as I ate.

Calix Saberus

I sat by the pond, cleaning my legs from the early hunt and washing under my feet which was filled with dirt. I looked over my shoulder seeing her chipping off the meat not wasting a single thread from it. She looked really attractive eating, as if a chipmunk had found an openly safe place to eat her foods. I splashed a little water over my warm body, cleaning the blood stain I had gotten from the rock.

 

[papillon24]

Sacara

I finished the morsel of meat as I watched him in the moonlight. His muscles shone in the subtle light as he washed from the day.

Moving slowly I moved up next to him reaching intot he cool water rinsing the juice from the meat off my delicate hands.

"Thank you for the food. They don't think I'm good enough to let me eat the hunt with them." I laid my fur down on the ground and sat back on it to enjoy the night.

Calix Saberus

She sat next to me on the fur she had. The moonlight reflected against her skin buldging out her figure keenly. She was wearing a tight deer skin top which didn't really cover her breasts. Her legs and abs shone brightly making me crazy. My engorged cock pumped under my leopard skin.

Then I asked her, "Aren't you supposed to be heading back?" Jumping into the water, I continue, "Or...were you lying, again." Giving an evil grin while I swing my hands under the water to keep myself up.

 

[papillon24]

Sacara

I sat and pondered as he juped into the pond.

"I was just thinking is all. Your kind seems so rough and mean. You are differen't than them arent you? Your not as so."

I laied back on my fur and looked up at the sparkling lights in the sky. I cloesed my eyes and listened to the sound of the splashing that came from the water.

 

[ozme52]

Iamme

Iamme,
As long as Iamme can remember.
Life is difficult alone.

This is a new valley.
Iamme does not remember it.
Or these people.
Unusual!
Two tribes, in one valley.

Opportunity?
Iamme has items to trade.
Gotten from other tribes.
But always the same tribes.
The same valleys.

This is a new valley.
And TWO tribes.
Opportunity?
Or danger?

Strange behavior.
The two tribes.
Like prey and predator.
Like predator and prey.
Which is which?

Smell smoke/fire nearby.
The female hunter.
Very strange.
*sniff*
A male approaches her fire.
Who will be prey?
Who will be predator?
Tomorrow Iamme will see!

Tonight, Iamme will approach another.
A male and ?his mate?
Iamme is not sure,
They act like mates
And then do not.

The male is strong,
But small.
All males are small to Iamme
No danger without tribemates close.

Yes, this is good.
Iamme can approach.
Male in water.
Female looking at the gods.

Iamme can approach.
No bear clan cape.
Leave with trades.
No scare female.
No alarm male.

Iamme approaches.
Iamme squats.
Just within sight.
Iamme me shows open palms.
Iamme waits.

Iamme is not seen.

*Grunt*

Calix Saberus

Before even replying back to her, I heard something rustling behind her. I quickly jumped out of the water and stood infront of the girl. It was a man, seemed to be unharming but I don't take any chances. "One of yours? Has he come here to get you or completing a trap?" I told the girl while looking at this stranger.

 

[papillon24]

Sacara

I jumped at the rustling in the bushes and watched as the male revealed another sitting ing the bushes.

. "One of yours? Has he come here to get you or completing a trap?"

"I don't know him. He looks nothing like those in my tribe."

 

[ozme52]

Iamme

Iamme is careful.
Iamme does not move when the male rushes forward.
Iamme sees male shiver from wet in cold air.
Female is up now
The male protects her.

Now they talk.
Iamme does not recognize their words.
New tribes, new words.

Iamme shows open, empty hand.
Iamme takes pouch from coverings.
Iamme shows blue beads to male.
Iamme points to fire and food.
Iamme pats stomach,
Iamme points to mouth.
Iamme offers beads to male.

 

[Shotokan07]

Calix Saberus

"Hmmm..." I didn't understand this stranger. He seemed to look unharmful and yet I feel very suspicious. I walk around him while he crouched down, his hands seemed to be gifting me with some round things I've never seen before. He keeps pointing at the food I gave the girl, perhaps he's hungry. I speak up to the girl, "I think he wants your food."

 

[ozme52]

The male circles Iamme
Iamme is watchful
Waiting.
Ready for attack.

The male speaks to the female.
"O tslkj re ehgas rahj food."
Iamme understands one word
'Food.'
A word Iamme know from another wanderer.
From the Tiger Clan he was.

"Food"
Iamme shake my head vigorously.
Hold the beads toward the woman.
"Trade for food." Iamme say, using other Tiger Clan words.

 

[papillon24]

Sacara

I pick up the pouch that is sitting next to me as I watch the stranger carefully. I watch as he rolls the pretty things in his hands. Curiously I reach out to touch them letting the smoothness touch my skin. Reaching into the bag I pull out a few peices of root and dried meat and hold them out to him and take a few of the objects in my hand. Never had I seen anything like this in my life. the colors were bright blue as the pond in the high sun.

"Good trade?" I ask as I crouch infront of him.

 

[ozme52]

Iamme

"Good Trade." Iamme nod my head.
Iamme puts food away.
Iamme is not hungry and has plenty
Iamme wants words.
Or a good trade.
Iamme has been alone for a long time.

Iamme points to the fire.
"Choalathe"
"Choalathe"
Iamme points to female, once twice
"Choalathe"

"Fire" "Fire" the female points to the fire and claps.
Iamme gives a yellow bead.
Iamme swings arm wide, pointing to many things.
Iamme shows more beads of many colors.
Iamme shuffles a bit closer.
Iamme smiles (no teeth, some tribes find toothsome smile an offense.)

 

[Shotokan07]

Calix Saberus

Angry on seeing the girl getting friendly with the stranger, I step between them and interupt. "I think you should leave now man. You got what you wanted." Turning my head to the girl, "C'mon, I'll take you home."

Just edited the "talk" to "take"

 

[ozme52]

Iamme

OOC: Changing the perspective of the narrative.

IC:

Iamme has far fewer bead than before. But now Iamme understands most of what this Calix says as he grabs Sacara and drags her off.

Leaving Iamme with the fire, Iamme waits a discreet time and when Calix is long gone, Iamme collects his pack, cape, and weapons and returns to the fire.

Iamme sets some trip wires to warn him if an animal approaches. Iamme practices the words he has learned, settles down, and goes to sleep.

Tomorrow, Iamme will go to the encampment to trade.

 

[Shotokan07]

Calix Saberus

I grabbed the girls hand and pulled her into the woods, using my instincts (sp?) towards her tribe. For some reason, my cock has been engorged. Must have been some kind of scent I took from that strange man. Hmm...strange, this girl's skin feels very smooth and yet she's from the Mammothulus; where women are treated worse than mine!

Nonetheless, she doesn't belong here.
