-- Genesis 3:24 The beasts had slain his daughter. Irad had found the bloody remains in a cave. It had been a ghastly sight. The beasts had feasted on his only child. Grief filled Irad, and ate at his belly like worms. He, Irad the Arkite, hunter of the Snow Leopard Tribe, and he who wore a cave bear necklace of claws, steeled his emotions. Then he studied the gory tracks around his daughter’s remains. The manner of his daughter’s death had first made him suspect a cave bear. Her corpse had smashed ribs and skull, splintered bones and sucked-out marrow. Irad had at first thought that the poor girl had foolishly tried to find a cave bear, and slay the monster in its lair. His own slaying of a cave bear had been a matter of life and death, a chance meeting on a lonely trail. He would never have been foolish enough to search for a cave bear to try to slay it. The tracks around his daughter’s remains, however, had not been those of a cave bear. Irad the Arkite knew every type of track in these parts: Snow leopard, cave bear, mountain goat, orn, the occasional wolf, and then the host of smaller animals.
