A tale of Tribe and family....

It all started with two kaiila, gifts from his Aunt Inanna. The deep red beast would be perfect for the woman Silken, who was in need of a new set of legs beneath her. The blue/black calf perhaps would make good part of the price he needed to pay for an object of his desire. Teng was startled from these thoughts by a great hubbub, apparently his aunt was not welcome as they were on migration. All the facts and attitude that flowed were none of his concern. One primary question was in the young Commanders mind, could he keep the beasts to gift to other tribe members, or did they flow to the tribal herds. He very much wanted to do the right thing. Kam had given him new orders, adding his Or to the scouting detail. Teng was learning much about the workings of tribe, and was happy to be home. One thing bothered him as his eyes closed for sleep, the haunted expression in his father's eyes as he said Tribe Above All.
