Chapter one
Boarding the Sirèn Ship
'The walls where closing in, he felt as if he couldn't breathe, he saw the blood if his brothers and sisters on the walls. Then out of the dark he saw the Xeno Queen's eyes staring at him.'
Wa'rof sat up rapidly; he could feel the sweat go down his back. He always had that same nightmare, where he saw his brothers and sisters die, it was not that he was scared on the Xeno Queen; he feared nothing not even the Xeno Queen. But the dream had been bothering him so long now, yet he couldn't figure out why it was bothering him.
He laid back down trying to forget the stupid dream, suddenly the doors went open; he sprang up and grabbed his spear.
He took a deep breath finding that he had given his sister a good fright.
"Put that damn thing away!" Trystu said not being very happy with her brother almost stabbing her.
Trystu was one of his younger sisters, she had long dreadlock that came till just above her hands, and red amber eyes, as was he, and her skin was very light with almost no spots on them, she bad dark black dreadlocks, like her brother that show that they were of royal blood. She looked very different since she was of royal blood. Well her whole family looked a bit different since all her brothers and sisters was of royal blood just her mother looked like the other more common Yautja.
"Sorry Trystu, I didn't mean to scare you, but you know I don't like to be bothered at night." Wa'rof said as retracting his spear.
"That's all good and well, but I heard you screech, did you have that nightmare again?"
Trystu was the only one who knew about his nightmare problem, as Wa'rof didn't want the others to think he was weak, he was the oldest and wasn't going to let his younger brothers claim what was rightfully his.
"Yeah, and I still can't seem to find out why, I can't shake of what happened."
"I don't know maybe you need to talk to our father, he is a wise man he can help you!" Trystu knew that he would, as always, say no to her advice and never take it.
Wa'rof shook his head; he was not going to let someone say that he was unwell and that he was not fit for the honor.
In this case the honor that he wanted was that he could become the head elder when his father passed away.
Trystu nodded not surprised by his answer as she knew it anyway "It's your choice not mine, but you then better get those dreams sorted out, before anyone else finds out about this!"
Trystu then stood up walking out of the door.
After he saw the door close behind her, he went to lay back down.
Maybe she was right, maybe he should talk to their father, if anyone realized this, his father would know very soon anyway.
He didn't go on to long about the thought, when he felt his mind went back in to a deep sleep.
That morning on Trènof
Wa'rof was wakening up, his mandibles moved up and down as he yawned. He sat up, slowly awakening. After a while he got up and put his armor on, he took his spear, wrist blade, shoulder cannon and more. He kept his weapons on him every day as the captain of the ship he had to make sure there was order. He was 2nd in command and his father was 1st.
He walked down the hallway and in to the control room. Wa'rof looked around the control room, and noticed that his father was staring at something, Wa'rof walked over to his father, and greeted him.
"Morning father, what are you looking at?"
"Morning my son, I am looking at a message from the Sirèn ship, seems that they have invited three of our strongest hunters on a hunt." Riwort said laughing
"Why are you laughing father." Wa'rof asked twitching his lower mandibles in confusion.
Riwort stopped laughing and answered his son "Well you see the Sirèn ship holds some of the most powerful hunters in the galaxy, why would they want our help?
Wa'rof twitched his mandibles again, but this time thinking, "Well maybe they don't need their help, it sounds more like a party. Otherwise they would have asked for more than three hunters."
"You have a good point my son, get another two hunters to go, and be on your way, I am going to send to the Sirèn that we except there invitation."
Wa'rof nodded and went off.
This was exactly what he needed a chance to kill something to get his mind of the nightmares. And fighting with the best hunters in the galaxy wasn't a bad thing.
Now to pick the other two hunters.
Wa'rof moved his right mandible up and down and thinking who he was going to take with.
He looked over to one side of the hall seeing that Xan a fellow Yautja was trying to get another female Yautja to be his mate. He would be just right be was a young Yautja male and he was really strong and good at hunting and best of all, he was a good friend of Wa'rof.
He walked up to Xan
"Xan" Wa'rof called the young hunter
Xan turned around seeing that his captain had called him, Oh well he looked at the Yautja female who was getting irritated by him and walked away.
"Yes sir" Xan answered quickly so his captain and friend, watching the female Yautja walk away.
"You are coming with me to a hunting party. The Sirèn ship asked that my father send his three best hunters to there ship, only you, my self and another is going."
Xan nodded this was a great honor indeed.
Next Wa'rof walked up to one of his best hunters, but also the one he disliked the most. The hunter was disrespectful and arrogant, but when it came to hunting he was one of the best.
"Feon come here" Wa'rof called
"Yes, sir what do you want?" Feon answered his captain's call with not much respect.
"You are coming on a hunt with me and Xan, the Sirèn ship asked my father to send three of his best hunters and lucky you got picked." Wa'rof said looking at his hunter; this hunter really didn't have any respect.
Feon was happy to hear the news, even thought he could see that the only reason that Wa'rof had picked him was because of his skills, he knew very well that Wa'rof didn't like him one bit, but he didn't care the feeling was mutual.
Soon after Wa'rof signaled his hunters to get there armor and get ready they were going to leave soon, the last thing he wanted to do is make the Sirèn ship wait for them, it was not every day they got the chance to go hunting, hell It wasn't even every year.
They took a small pod that could hold 15 hunters and had about 10 rooms in it, they got there Shipley's ready, they didn't know were they were going to hunt or even what they were going to hunt, Wa'rof hated not knowing what he was hunting, after what happened the last time, but at least this was more of a party that a hunt and this was with his fellow Yautja and not with a Xeno's Queen.
After a while they came to the Sirèn ship, the hunters sent a signal to the Sirèn ship letting them know that they are waiting to land in the ship.
The Sirèn ship was much bigger than even there mother ship so they had no problem landing in the Sirèn ship.
In the Sirèn ship
They slowly opened there doors, watching in go down slowly.
They walked out of there ship and in to the Sirèn ship…
They saw that there in front of them was standing the elder Hirag'th, Wa'rof had told them many stories about this elder he was said to have a like in ooman females. He was not sure if his facts was right was there was many roomers that he had even taken an ooman as his mate ones upon a time.
They slowly walked to the elder.
Hirag'th Warned is a huge elder about 9.2 in height, he had amber eyes and long strips and spots on his body, he had a rather green orange appearance, as well as old battle marks on his face, back and front from his hunter days. He has dark brown dreadlocks that come down under his shoulders. He looked really powerful even for an elder.
They walked directly at the elder bowing to him as they came close. Behind him was about 200 hunters, they all looked as there elder nodded his head to us, there was no dought that this was a very well respected Elder.
"Please to see you made it here safe." Hirag'th said as he lifted his head looking at these fine young hunters.
"Please to meat you, I am Wa'rof Stang'th, these are my two best hunters Xan and Feon, I am the Captain of Trènof."
"Yes, I have heard great things about you and your hunters, I must apologies as my hunters are not here, they have already left to made sure that the hunt goes flawlessly."
"No problem sir, just tell me where the planet is and we will meet them there."
"Certainly, there on the planet Ninoth just south east of the ship about 100 miles away reasonably near, you can meet up with them there."
"Thank you, we will be on our way then, we would rather not let them wait."
"I understand and agree it was nice meeting you all, please don't hesitate to come visit when you pass by again."
"Certainly sir, I shall do that, till next time then sir."
Wa'rof did one last bow with his hunters as did the Elder, they then walked back to there ship, Wa'rof couldn't wait to meet the hunters on the planet Ninoth, If the hunters that he saw just now wasn't as good as these on the planet, then they had to be really good.
15 ooman minutes later
Wa'rof saw as Xan pointed out in space.
"There is the planet Ninoth!"
Wa'rof looked at the planet and nodded as Xan.
"Hang on; there is coming a signal trough it's from the planet."
"Greetings you must be the hunters from Trènof,
This is the captain of Sirèn, thank you for coming here so soon,
If you would please look at your map.
We have placed on the map, where you may land.
Thank you."
Wa'rof looked at the map seeing the dot on the map.
"Feon, Land it there."
Feon just nodded, he hated to be bossed around.
Feon took the ship down slow and steady, they had a good landing, the place that the Captain asked them to land in was a clear field next to the smaller pod from the Sirèn.
Wa'rof signaled Xan to open the door. He watched as the doors opened and the light shine trough the door is was strange this planet had its own mini star that brought in light and heat. The planter was much like their home planet it was a beautiful green and tree's every were.
He slowly walked to the door again signaling his hunters to walk behind him.
They walked out of the door; they saw another tree Yautja stand a few feet from the door, the one Yautja looked strange although, he was probably the captain.
Wa'rof walked to the captain.
"Greeting's I am Wa'rof Stang'th"
As greeting this fellow Captain he took of his mask.
"The Captain of Trènof"
After the Captain of Sirèn nodded, Xan introduced him self, followed by Feon, they both took of there masks.
The captain lowered his head to each in respect, and then the captain said.
"This is Felix and this is Jen'sh." As saying this, both Felix and Jen'sh took of there masks off.
Wa'rof had found this captain strange not only did he look strange but he talked strange as well.
But then Wa'rof took his attention back to Felix and Jen'sh.
Felix was a young Yautja not nearly full grown yet he was a late bloomer as the ooman's liked to say. He had short dreadlocks coming just over his shoulder.
His eyes were a dark yellowish-brown and it could strike terror in any opponent.
He had rather undersized muscles against the other Yautja, but his skills were much better than the most Yautja, he could see this by his skulls on his armor and the scars on his face.
Jen'sh was a grown Yautja and he had long dreadlocks that were just bellow his chest he had light brown dreadlocks. And dark orange and yellow eyes. He was about 8.6 in height and had small upper teeth and his skin was darker than most Yautja, he also had dark spots and stripes on his body, there were also deep scars on his chest, that showed that he has been in a few thought battles.
Then the captain said seeing that Wa'rof's mind was wondering off.
"Please to meet you all I am Lisa Warned."
Wa'rof looked at the Captain strange; he found this a very strange name for a Yautja male.
She then took off her mask, as doing this Wa'rof watched as long straight black hair fell down.
Wa'rof stared surprised as he was now staring at an ooman female!
