Taelo 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 first travel South into the Andes of South America. They meet the people living in those areas.

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 returns to aid 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.

Condor Clan Slingers

Taelo is called by the Ancestors to help the Condor Clan.

Taelo is also plagued by a nightmare where his mate Quiet Rabbit is beheaded by a warrior priest. This is to happen in the land of the Condor.

He finds the huge army of the Warrior Clan camped in the valley facing the Condor Clan living area.

Taelo and his team enter the land of the Condor Clan, through what is called the "backdoor".

Taelo and his team train the Condor Clan a fighting formation they refer to as the "fighting Diamond".

Quiet Rabbit's, and Busy Bee's suggestion is to establish nine slinging squads to sling volcano class shards at the oncoming Warrior Clan fighters.

Taelo sets out with nine fighting diamonds to drive the Warrior Clan back from the village. In an attempt to prevent having his beheading nightmare come true, Taelo has deployed Quiet Rabbit and Busy Bee with their own fighting diamonds to protect the Llama herds located in another section of the mountains.

However, the Warrior Clan captures both Quiet Rabbit and Busy Bee. They are brought to a sacrificial platform especially built by the Warrior Clan war priests. A warrior priest drags Quiet Rabbit out to be beheaded.

Taelo watches his nightmare becoming real. He races faster than he has ever run to save her. In his dream his spear pierces the priest's chest, but the priest's blade moment follows through the devastating beheading arch.

The action Taelo takes is one that saves Quiet Rabbit.

In a subsequent battle where the Condor Clan is vastly outnumbered, the fighting diamonds and the all-female, glass shard slinging squads, handily defeat the Warrior Clan and drive them off the mountain. The all-male fighting diamonds are never confronted because the Condor Clan Slingers are so effective that no Warrior Clan fighter gets close enough to effectively throw a spear.
