During and After the Bath
Chapter One
Tam' gotchi' stretched her back wiping some of the warm almost hot water onto her face. Her body was humanoid, almost human like but with a flat crab like face, yellow eyes, and pale yellow skin speckled with green spots. Black wire like hair had painfully been braided into thick dread locks which had also been braided into many small ringlets along each lock, her large muscular body was larger and thicker then any human man, where finger and toenails would be was replaced with large black and sharp talons. She was indeed an awesome sight.
The old eta pouring the rest of the bath water into the large-stoned tub. Life was becoming easier for her, turning from a notorious pirate into a well-respected female huntress. The eta sluggishly pushed himself up with a moan, his old bones popping as he did so. Not at all was she worried about him seeing her naked, seeing her and a few other females he served naked while they bathed was probably the only excitement he'd seen in about 10 years.
Eta's were mainly male or female Yautja, Predator, too old or lamed to join the hunt anymore, so they were made to serve the one's able to hunt.
Her thoughts seeping deeper into her mind, she had been with the Yautja before, 15 years ago but that was only business, most were wanting to trade weaponry and armor for a good hunting experience against oomans, humans, others just wanted better weapons and armor.
Tam' gotchi' was one of the most feared pirates by various species in three large star systems. Giving a client whatever they desired, yet they then were in her depth afterwards, if she wasn't paid fully as she saw fit then she would set off on a little hunting trip after the client. Severing their heads from their shoulders and would place their bleached white skull on her wall while placing their bodies in wooden boxes that were his in caves behind her many hideouts. The victim's families saying she stole their loved one's souls, some clients though ended their lives before she would get a chance to, none of them wanting their soul to be stolen from the withered and rotting bodies. That though didn't stop her, she would eventually rob their graves still placing the skull on her wall and bodies in a wooden box then place the client's depth on a family member, that's if the family member wished for the soul to be freed and body to be given back. Usually the brother or sister would finish the depth or try and kill her, which never worked, only a few times did she see the children take the depths.
Humans and other human like species though had that tendency to fear what they did not understand. Some called her immortal due to the fact that a Yautja's life span was longer then that of what most of their's were, they didn't know that. Some called her a demon or monster, being she resembled one, somewhat, she was only an extraterrestrial, E.T., organic life form not recorded in any computer library, except that of some hidden government. While others called her invincible, her body could only handle a great deal more then three humans put together. Her personality was sparked over the many years of stealing or trading anything she could find in order to survive, eventually the spark turned into a roaring fire and got worse when she found out she could strike fear in the hearts of common species, species like the Humans and others like them. It made life and business go by easier on her behalf being no one dared to challenge her but it is also what sparked the bounties and warrants on her head giving her the name: The Soul Stealing Pirate Queen Reaper.
There was a gasp, Tam' gotchi' snapping out of her semi-unconscious state looking to see who made the noise. Yeyinde', Brave One, a middle-aged Hunt Leader, was standing at the door, averting his eyes when she looked at him. "I...I did not know anyone was in here." He said.
She had gone hunting with him before and knew he liked her, she also liked him. He was a great hunter, always limiting his weapons to spear and wrist blades when she was around him, even going on a few blooding hunts with him from time to time when his help was injured or died and that was the problem. If she had sex with him then she knew her personal feelings would get in the way. Having a feeling she would shoot an ooman or kainde' amedha', hard meat/alien, if it was behind him, mainly denying him an honorable death, a brutal and savage custom of the Yautja code.
He turned, just about to walk out, "No." Tam' gotchi' said lifting her arm.
Yeyinde' stopped and turned his head looking at her, the big muscles in his upper body flexing and moving as one for all to see, Tam' gotchi couldn't help but smile on the inside. He was small when compared to her in both weight and height but what he lacked in physical strength he made up with his personality and attitude. He was becoming old now, soon to be an Eta himself in just a few more turnings, but he still held his head up high and every step he took was with pride and honor, he would respect others whom would respect him back.
