PROLOGUE

Worshipped as gods, every one hundred years the Yautja would return to designated ancient pyramids to hunt the ultimate prey..kiande amedha. Unblooded warriors came to establish status in their clans through Chiva to become Blooded. Blooded warriors obtaining more notable hunting accomplishments came to hunt kiande amedha and become clan leaders.

Kiande amedha..hard meats; are considered the ultimate prey. These creatures black hard exoskeletons with elongated heads make weapons harder to penetrate and detecting a heat signature for the Yautja warriors nearly impossible. Combined with stealth, agility, a sharp daggered tail, acidic blood, multiple legs with sharp talons and an inner maw that can easily penetrate the hardest surfaces add to its allure for these hunters. However its the intelligence of these creatures obtained from its hosts which makes it a more worthy prey during the hunt.

Humans..pyode amedha.. make the perfect host because of their intelligence, instincts, the ability for their minds to adapt and evolve.

The resources required for these hunts pulled heavily on ancient Egypt's economic resources. An offer was accepted by their government officials with the Pharoahs' approval. In exchange for the sacred hunting grounds alien technology, along with rare and precious metals/stones would be acquired.

Temple priests and priestesses were responsible for maintaining the ancient pyramids, gathering required host for the kiandhe amedha, communicating and taking care of the gods needs.

Years before the gods were to return was to slowly indicate a time of transition. One where those chose not to serve or believe in gods that were cruel.

There were revolts and in the midst of one A'Nubia, Daughter of Pharaoh was conceived...

Author Notes:

Unblooded: Usually younger Yautja that haven't gone through Chiva; sometimes a Yautja is demoted.

Chiva: A rite of passage for the Unblooded Yautja to become members of their clan by killing kiandhe amedha.

Blooded: Unblooded Yautja that have completed Chiva. They become members of the clan,can participate in mating (breeding) and build status (rank)

Kiandhe amedha: means hard meat. Ultimate prey and grows by an embryo attaching itself to a living host. It grows inside of the host until it becomes to large and kills it. In humans this causes the chest cavity to burst open leaving a large hole.

Pyode amedha: means soft meat. Name used by Yautja to describe humans

Maw: Mouth

Hi, this is my first story ever. I'm writing for enjoyment and to learn. It's easier to think up a storyline than it is to write it well. We all must have humble beginnings somewhere.

Thanks for your constructive criticism and reviews.

I don't own or have any rights to Predator but it would be sooo sweet.
