This is it. The final chapter to Predator Destiny. It kinda sucks but it's kinda a prolouge to AVP: Ten-tau-to's hunt. Yes, he's going to be going on his blooded hunt soon. I want to finish my alien story first so it's going to be awhile before I start it. Thanks to all my fans and I hope you'll like my AVP story once I get started on it.

Chapter 12

It has been a few years since that hunt with the beast. My trophies have grown quite large but the elders said that that beast, a dragon as they called it, was just as hard to kill as the hard meat. They said that hard meat are more dangerous because they attack in numbers, while dragons live in solitary.

I remember when I got back from that hunt the elders were in shock with my dragon's head. They told me the story of how dangerous they are to first time hunters and how lucky I was to escape unharmed. Then what they said shocked me.

"Ten-tau-to, it was your destiny to return her to us. We thought that after you returned her you would live the life of a normal Yatja, train and hunt your way to the top. Then when you killed the queen hard meat, we got second thoughts.

"You see young one, every couple thousand years or so, the Great Yatja is reincarnated. The Great Yatja was able to do things that no other Yatja could do at his training level. Like how you killed the queen with no training, yet your grandfather, one of the greatest Yatja of our age, was killed by it.

"Now you bring us the head of a dragon as your trophy. Once again a feat that is rarely done by someone at your skill level. We have reasons to believe you are the reincarnation of the Great Yatja, Ten-tau-to. With the proper training your skill will be unmatched."

I didn't give them an answer right away. In fact it took me nearly a year to give them an answer. I had to take in the news about being the reincarnation of the Great Yatja. Finally I walked up those steps of the Elders building and cautiously opened the door.

After I walked down the hall I found the main elder.

"Have you made your decision young one?" he asked me.

"Yes sir. My decision is I would be honored to have the training to make me like the Great Yatja." I said.

My past few years have been filled with much training and hunts. It seemed that I would never get my blooded hunt. I was looking so much towards it but it never came. I remember watching Boka'lato and Tre'lato go out on their blooded hunt. When their ship returned I was deeply saddened, neither of them returned. Jun'tudla, on the other hand, returned from his blooded hunt with two hard meat skulls.

I envied the three of them, they were of my age yet they went on their blooded hunts yet I still trained to become like the Great Yatja. Then again, this was my destiny. It was my not only my destiny to return home, but to be like the Great Yatja. I often lowered my head in dishonor of my thoughts.

I still remember another day that saddened me a bit. Even though I never got my blooded hunt, I was finally being treated like a blooded warrior, in a way. I was able to get my own home. I still remember Coso'tena'puta's kind words to me as I left his home.

"Ten-tau-to, remember these words. Fight with courage, live in honor, and never forget your past." To this day I have never missed a visit to my past, grandfather's grave and my old home.

I stood by the window of my home, looking up at the night sky. I thought about my old old home on earth. Wondering how my human mother would be if she wasn't killed. Wondering what my human father was like. I then retired into my trophy room. In the center was the queen's skull. Surrounding her skull was the dragon's skull and other oddly disfigured skulls of rare and dangerous beasts.

I was about to go to bed when a loud banging was coming from my door. When I opened a young Yatja was standing there with a note in his hands. I took it and read it to myself.

Ten-tau-to,

Your training has gone better then we thought. When your ready for your finally hunt, you'll be on the next ship our; when your ready to become a blooded warrior.

Elder Flu'capa

I read the note over and over again, making sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. I was finally going to become a blooded warrior. In the morning I hurried to the colony and to the elder's building. I found Elder Flu'capa and told him I accepted his request. In a few short weeks, I'll be a warrior, a true and honorable warrior.
