“Either one When it gets named, it will be called a deep, but it’s still a cave Thank you for bringing me here, Ayla I have never seen a more beautiful cave I am overwhelmed,” Jonokol said

“Yes, I aet named? Who will name it?” Ayla asked

“It will na to it in whatever way best describes it or feels most appropriate to them What would you call it if you wanted to talk about it to someone?” Jonokol asked

“I’m not sure, maybe the cave hite walls,” Ayla said

“I’d guess the name will turn out to be close to that, at least one of the names, but we don’t know much more about it yet, and the zelandonia will make their own name,” Jonokol said

Ayla and Jonokol were the last ones out of the cave The sun seeht when they reached the entrance, after the dark cave lit only by a few torches When her eyes adjusted, Ayla was surprised to see Marthona waiting, along with Jondalar and Wolf

“Tormaden invited us for a meal,” Marthona said “He has hurried ahead to let them know to expect us Actually, he invited you, but then he asked me to come, too, and all the rest of you ere in the cave just now Including you, Jonokol Everyone else has other things to do, s”

“Why don’t we all go to our camp?” Ayla said “There is still a special , and I haven’t helped at all”

“For one thing, when the leader of the host Cave at a Suo, if you can”

“Why would he invite me?”

“It’s not every day one finds a cave like that, Ayla All of us are excited about it,” Marthona said, “and it’s close to the Nineteenth Cave, in their territory They will probably become a more important Cave now”

“You’ll be getting more attention, too,” Jondalar said

“I get too much attention as it is,” she said “I don’t want all that attention I just want to get mated, and have a baby, and be like everyone else”
