The hunting party enters the clan compound dragging the bull, as the clan circles the feast with their mouths drooling in anticipation. Before the clan can tear into the bull, Booka's warriors hold them back as Booka enters, carrying Soofa in his arms. Booka puts Soofa down ,who is now able to stand on her own, and rips off a piece from the bull and hands it to Soofa, who immediately wolfs it down.
The clan lurches forward but Soofa holds her hand up, but the clan ignores her and pushes forward. Booka growls at the clan to wait until told to feast. Soofa goes and gets her aged mother and Booka's mother and brings them over to the bull and slices off a piece for both of them.. No one in the clan objects to this because they sense that now Booka is their true leader and they must obey. After Booka, Soofa and their mothers had eaten their fill, the warriors tare into the bull followed by the rest of the clan.
After a couple of days and much feasting and mating , the entire clan has had their fill. Soofa wakes up and notices the lack of noise coming from the herd. She walks out of the compound and sees an open and scorched land that was consumed of all vegetation by the herd, which has moved on at night in search of other vegetation to consume.
Soofa wakes Booka to see that the herd has finally gone on the march and now he must get the clan ready to follow. Up and ready quickly ,as the clan members know, they must keep up or be left behind to either starve or be eaten by the many predators.
The clan moves out with Booka at front with his warriors flanking on both sides to protect the pregnant, young and old in the middle, and with Soofa and her warriors protecting the rear.
