LOGIN"Get out!" Tat shouted, his voice breaking with rage and madness. "Get out and never come back, or I'll kill you for everything you've done to me and our tribe. You're a Tribe Devourer."
"I'm sorry, Tat.""I don't care. If only I could take it all back--RED BIRD RISEN FROM ASHESAnarungu lay back, his chest rising and falling as exhaustion and contentment mingled. He pulled Gnelsey close, her body still trembling and warm, filled with his seed.Gnelsey rubbed against him like a creature drawn to its mate, almost feline in her movements. They lay in the sand, and Gnelsey, resting on her nestling's chest, repeatedly brushed her cheek against his strong torso. Her hands roamed over his stomach, legs, and arms. She rubbed against him like Peacock, unable to contain her emotions."What are you doing, Mama?" Anarungu whispered, staring at the blue sky."To be honest, I don't know," Gnelsey answered. He could feel her heartbeat through her skin, through the intensity with which she pressed
Her teeth and her whole body were shaking with every massive and hard pounding, smacking. "Oh y-yes...I can feel your passion...Akgghhhhhh....that hurts...keep going, keep going! Give Mama everything you've got!""AKGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You're not ready for this..."She shuddered from the impact of another orgasm and grasped at his black locks, nearly ripping them out. "Show me how much you love your Mommy...I want to know!!!! Ughhh... You hurt me so much... You don't feel sorry for me..."He let himself be swept away by the rush of young love, savoring it with the rich, sweet taste of milk flooding his mouth."'Give it to me, give it to me. I want to know how much you love me, your mother and wife, Anarungu. Akgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"I know," he said, nodding. "That's why I have a plan. We'll bring more women into the tribe, and I'll give them sons. Those sons can grow up and help expand the tribe with their mothers. Together, they'll be the future of our people.""You're not serious, right? Anarungu? You want to raise a whole generation where sons breed with their mothers?""If it worked for us, why can't it work for others?"She paused to think, the sun warming her skin pleasantly, and the sand felt so soft. "What if the sons wouldn't want to?" she asked."They will, believe me. I already know one boy."Angas fell asleep, and Anarungu put his own clothes under his torso and head to make it softer for the boy."The whole idea made me wet, Anarungu. Son
"Get out!" Tat shouted, his voice breaking with rage and madness. "Get out and never come back, or I'll kill you for everything you've done to me and our tribe. You're a Tribe Devourer.""I'm sorry, Tat.""I don't care. If only I could take it all back--I'd never have let you become chief. That day, the day of the Hunt... I should have left you to die."Anarungu slipped out of the tent, a sharp pang twisting in his heart. It was painful to see Tatar'Atu like this and to hear such words from him."It's all my fault. I deserve it. And right now I need a new plan," he murmured, fingers tracing the Stranger's amulet around his neck.==========Toward evening Anarungu returned to their new camp with Gnelsey. She did not notice hi
Anarungu left their small camp and headed straight for Blood Bird's territory, moving quietly through the trees. Hidden within his clothes was a set from the Blue Lynx tribe.After changing, he climbed up into the branches, moving closer to Blue Lynx's hilly camp. Under cover of night, he slipped into the chief's hut. White Stranger was exactly as he had the last time Anarungu saw it: still.Anarungu carefully approached the body, studying it. He reached out and drew a large, white blade--gleaming like sunlight--from the dead man's grasp. He broke the handle and fit the blade into his glove, replacing his knife. The sharp white blade nestled perfectly, ready for his use.With a swift swing of his new weapon, Anarungu sliced off Stranger's
FOLLOW THE STARAnarungu returned to the tent, slipping in without a sound. Gnelsey was asleep cradling Angas, offering him her breast. For a moment, he imagined how this life could suddenly come to an end because of the Blue Lynx."As long as the Blue Lynx exists, we cannot know peace." He ran his hand down his mother's arm, from shoulder to fingertips. Her soft bronze skin, a little sticky from sweat, still warm from their wild love."No one should separate us, though it's quite possible this time... I may not return. But I will do this for you, and for our son." He looked at Angas, who, though not Gnelsey's son, was dear to them as if he were. "I am still their leader, even if they no longer wish it.""Anarungu?" Gnelsey looked up at him through her sleep. "Why are you awake." She reached up and put him to her other breast, which had the scent of milk. He took the nipple with his mouth, devouring the sweet vitality. The ripe sweet liquid splashed into his mouth."Where have you bee
