The Rescue (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index -|- Thoka raged when she heard the news. Kpleeb is gone, stolen from me by the filthy Xinti. And… the attack was probably instigated by Uuiit. Thoka’s blood boiled as she paced to and fro inside the hut. I will pay them back. Thoka raised her chin and screamed angrily in a long … Continue reading The Rescue (Caveman Chronicles)

The Prophesy (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index -|- Two moon-cycles passed quickly as Thoka and Kpleeb dug into Uuiit’s technology. At first, Jial had pressured Thoka to have Kora watch over Zara while they worked, but Thoka wanted Zara to learn. It seemed obvious to her that Zara could be of some help with a little training. Thoka also intended … Continue reading The Prophesy (Caveman Chronicles)

A Trek (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index -|- After much discussion, Kpleeb and Thoka agreed that Uuiit was something different, not a caveman. Thoka decided to assign an around the clock watch of Uuiit’s village. It was entirely possible that could be very, very dangerous, and it was imperative that they knew when he was present at the Xinti village. … Continue reading A Trek (Caveman Chronicles)

It’s Definitely Not Christmas

Part 1 Llarp’s steely talons flexed menacingly as he gazed through the portal. A low grown emanated from the depths of his second throat, near the base of his powerful neck. Not often was the commander able to discover a portal with such a vantage point as this. From the lip of his stone door, … Continue reading It’s Definitely Not Christmas

It’s Not Christmas

The window pane was chilly, but not frosty. It does not often freeze in Louisiana. Outside, nature shed the remaining brown tree leaves with gusts of violent wind. Spanish moss swayed from its precarious, dangling heights as if the trees were dancing. Light rain spattered against the glass where the drops clung together and streamed … Continue reading It’s Not Christmas

The Angle (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index -|- Kpleeb was on the ridge again, but this time he had Thoka’s new detector device. When he had returned from the large rock the Ganix called ‘The Fist,’ Thoka had been pacing back and forth in front of her workshop with Zara playing nearby in the sand. Thoka muttered to herself and … Continue reading The Angle (Caveman Chronicles)

Detector Build (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index -|- She awoke with a start. Someone had spoken. Staring into the darkness, her senses focused. There was a breeze outside, gusting and insistent. The fronds that covered the roof above her shook slightly, but not in a scary way. The hut was not drafty. There was a cough in the distance, probably … Continue reading Detector Build (Caveman Chronicles)

Zara (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index -|- Kpleeb peered over the ridge at Uuiit’s village below and sighed quietly as he lifted his hand. On his wrist was a bracelet that Thoka had given him. One of her rings was on his thumb. The air shimmered in front of him and then swirled as if it was uncertain what … Continue reading Zara (Caveman Chronicles)

Ganix (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index -|- Kpleeb paced nervously. Back and forth he strode at a slow pace. He heard a muted cry and stopped to face the hut across the village center. There was nothing to see, of course. Thoka was inside with Chief Kilow, Bre, and the Xinti birthing cavewoman. There were no additional cries, so … Continue reading Ganix (Caveman Chronicles)
