Upon the morrow, Urk rose up into a seated position. He rubbed the eyes under his pronounced brow ridge, then stood up. He saw that the fire had been blown out at some point after he had fallen asleep, but the tiger skin kept him warm through the night. He bent down to pick the doubled-headed axe from the snow. There was an mark left in the snow where the axe had been, not incredibly deep, but marked nonetheless. With a long yawn, the cave man started walking. He wondered if he could ever find his clan again. He was not certain just how far the group was. He paused in his motion when he saw something out of the corner of his eye. Instinctively he looked to see what this thing was, but it must have been his eyes playing tricks on him because when he turned his head to look, there was nothing there.
In the next couple of weeks, Urk tracked his clan. He had noted a similar pattern in tracks left in the snow since five weeks before when he had thought he had seen something watching him. It was just at sun set that he stopped on the bank of a hill and saw his brothers again. He rejoiced and called out, but the howling wind muted his joyous calls. Finally, he had tracked them down. The tribe was in poor strides as of recently. Food supply had been running low, Urk recalled. He had been one of few sent out to hunt food for the tribe, but he had never made it back.
Everything seemed to have gone astray since when he and his tribe had come across strange creatures who walked on two legs, with smooth, nearly-hairless bodies. These creatures weapons resembled the axe in his very hand. Had it been crafted by one of them and abandoned in that cave? It was impossible to tell. But, is that why these creatures, so alike to his own, yet different, were so more efficient at hunting? Now that Urk thought about it, since he put more thought into planning and using tactics he would have otherwise never thought of, he most likely would not had survived long enough by himself to get to where he now was. However, now was not a time to worry. He was happy as he started to walk towards the camp.
The falling snow hid his image and from the distance he was, the others could not see him. He was about to run on into the clan when he felt something which him again. Keeping the axe at his side, Urk shifted his eyes around his environment and stopped walking? Was it a predator? His thumb lightly slid up and down the spine of the Pointy Stick, readying himself for whatever came his way.
