TaeloTaelo lived more than thirty thousand years ago in the US northwest. The Early Years are stories of Taelo's and Golden Hawk in their early years In The Golden Feather They travel South into the Andes of South America. In The Journey of Discovery Taelo and Golden Hawk travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean and see the wonders of nature. In Dangerous Passage the team travels across the northern ice bridge to the origin of their race. In Condor Clan Slingers the team aids the Condor Clan in their battle against an aggressive Warrior Clan. In Circumvention Taelo pushes beyond the boundaries and discovers that the world is like a round boulder. In the Journey of Sages, Taelo guides the Sages of his clan on trip around the Pacific. They meet people on the far side. Circumvention Taelo was not prepared for the laughter of his mate when he shared his vision of the next trip. He had picked up a smooth round granite stone and described the next journey as one going west until they returned to where they started. Once again a visit to Broken Spear set the tone of the upcoming journey. Broken Spear shared that he had in discussions with the Ancients and had been instructed to make sure that strong warriors of the Others were part of the team. Taelo was pleased that the six were none other than one of his best friends Burley Bear and Meadow Flower. The other four, Saber Scar, Marigold, Single Leaf and Sharp Blade were veterans of previous journeys. The team was equipped in a similar manner as they had been for their Dangerous Passage journey. The journey to the Eastern Sea was smooth and problem free. The trip past the coast was a treacherous, and overwhelming challenge. Their travels though challenging produced numerous positive experiences. They met a black Prince and his troop of twelve warriors. The Prince joined Taelo for a part of the journey. They approached a village on a river that ran to the north. Two eagles flew circles in the sky. A tall person backed by a formidable group of warriors met them outside of the village. He had his hand up in a greeting of friendship. Taelo, Golden Hawk and the black Prince all walked up with the same greeting. When they were exchanging names, the person greeting Taelo pointed to the sky and indicated that his name was Flying Eagle. Taelo smiled and pointed to the sky and indicated that he was Taelo, the claw of the eagle. One of Flying Eagles warriors came forward and showed his scars and pointed to Quiet Rabbit, Busy Bee and Talking Wren. He pointed to Taelo and made as if to cut off his hand. Taelo was not sure of the time it would take for the remainder of the journey, but he knew that the world was round.
