15 000 years ago- part 3

It took me some time to get pragmatic about the whole situation, I knew no more about Hard
Stone than anyone in our tribe, I had to know more about the man that I considered my ennemy
Hard would wake up very early in the morning, so to spy on him from dawn on, I had to wake before he did.
I had no problem waking at any time I chose I just had to think about it before falling asleep and
sure thing I awoke much before Hard, that was in fact a very good idea and it paid off rather quick.
The sun wasn't up yet when our chief stepped out of his hut, he took a look around but I was out of sight , watching him through a small crack I made in the shack where all youngsters slept,
then he left camp and headed eastward (sunupway), there was a lean path Hard was taking and I came out and followed his trail as soon as he disapeared behind the trees, I was careful to check which way the wind blew, Hard would've smell my presence if I had the wind in my back, it was not the case, there was a gentle breeze from my right and since it was the way Hard went, that would keep my scent away from his nostrils but on the other hand I could smell Hard Stone and
could evaluate roughly how far he was from me.
