Chapter 3
My name is Ten-tau-to, but I'm sure you know that by now. I'm a Yatja and have just recently learned my past. My mother was killed by another Yatja known as Quata'de'donde. He told my about my true father and how he was killed by humans in South America. One of those humans was my earth father. I was abducted by the Yatja and taken into their ship. They only told me that I would be trained in the art of the Hunters and become as great as a hunter as my father was.
I looked out a window and watched in awe as the earth grew smaller and smaller. I then looked ahead into the unknown. A grin grew on my face as we past other planets like Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus. As we past Pluto, the ship speed up greatly. I looked outside again, the stairs and planets were blurs now. I could barley move because of the speed of the ship. When the ship started to slow down, we were in what seemed to be another solar system; a sun and nine planets. We past them all as we approached the anti-earth.
The anti-earth seemed to be a jungle planet. A Yatja approached me and spoke into the translator. I've gota learn their language. The translator form of communication is getting very tedious. I thought to myself.
'Ten-tau-to, we are approaching our home world. When we land, I, Coso'tena'puta, shall take you to Goshe'tu'tana; the elder of our colony. He will determine weather you are fit enough to train in the way of the hunters. You would normally be declined for you are to old, but given the circumstances, he might find an acceptation.'
I nodded my head and went back to star gazing. The scene was so beautiful to me. The stairs and the home world all in the mist of the blackness of outer space. Little did I know that my home world was full of blackness as well.
As the ship entered the atmosphere of the planet, I held on as the ship made sudden jolts of movement. I stared out the window as I watched the jungles grow larger and lager as we approached. Even though I was a bit nervous to be so far away form earth, I was also excited about going "home". As the ship landed, Coso'tena'puta came to my side. I could sorta tell by his body language that he didn't want to do this. It probably felt like baby-sitting.
Coso'tena'puta led me to the ramp and then took me to see Goshe'tu'tana. I was pretty nervous to she the head elder of the colony here. Almost instantly a foul odder hit me. It smelt somewhat of rotting meat and urine. The smell was over whelming at first but I couldn't show that it affected me to the others. The rest colony didn't seem like a very happy one. Other Predators stared at me, young ones to old ones. The streets were deserted and the buildings were about five stories. The place seemed very grim at the time I walked down those streets.
As we approached the tallest building of the colony, it was safe to assume that that's were the elders were. The building was both tall and wide, and had steps leading up to it. At the top of the stairs stood three Predators, each one was dressed in formal robes. They started to walk down the steps. When they reached the bottom, Coso'tena'puta took off his helmet and knelt on one knee, bowing his head in respect. He grabbed my arm and pulled me down trying to tell me to do the same. I did so. The elders looked at me before they spoke.
"Rise young one," The elder spoke. My head jerked up at the elder. He spoke to me in English. I didn't think they spoke English. I rose to my feet.
"I'm sorry if I seem rude but were did you learn English?" I asked. The elder looked at me and smiled a bit, or at least that's what it looked like to me.
"I learned your Ooman language a long time ago when I myself went to earth to hunt. They saved my life and taught me their language. Now I shall see if you are fit to learn the way of the Yatja," he finished as he approached me. He studied the way I was built, my muscle size, everything. "Your body seems well enough to train, but is your mind ready. Follow me young one," he said as he walked up the stairs. I was a bit hesitant at first but I soon followed.
Once inside the elder asked me some asked me some 'what would you do' questions. It seemed like he sighed from some of my answers. After he was done questioning me he asked me to leave so he could talk with the other elders. I opened the doors that lead to the outside. I was in shock to see that it was nightfall. It didn't seem like I was there for long.
The colony seemed even scarier at night. The streets were deserted and no light shown in the colony. The planet had no moon so that meant no moonlight. The stars were all that let up the night sky and even that wasn't a lot. I slowly walked down the stairs, I was pretty scared. I sat down at the bottom of the steps and constantly watched my surroundings. As soon as I started to calm down a loud roar filled the night sky. The roar didn't seem angry, it was somewhat happy. I hoped it was from a victorious hunting party and not some gigantic beast outside the colony.
The doors boomed open. I jumped off the steps and knelt down to the elders. As the walked down the steps I stayed awaiting my fait. "Rise young one and hear your fait," He spoke to me. I stood up and looked at him with glee. "We, the elders of the Fo'tute colony, proclaim that you will not be trained in the way of the Yatja."
