Chapter 1 - A Neolithic Dawn of Dogs

The girl was the youngest of the chief of the clan. She was being tended by her mother who was the healer of the clan. It had been a long and cold winter spent many nights holding the torch deep in the cave while her older sister painted the spirit animals on the cave.

Her sister had also shown her how to scratch the lines on the wall of the cave to be able to know the direction and season. These lines forming an arrow head were made by glacial scratch marks from two different major ice ages. The horizontal lines across formed triangular patter that represented the shadow cast by the mountain during the spring and autumn equinox. She found this easier than most because the sacred markings were also on the palm of the left hand.

She was looking forward to stepping out of the cave and feel the smell of spring and the sunshine on her face.
