CHAPTER 2 NEW ADVENTURE

Lore stayed at the helm of his fathers ship until he had escaped his home world's gravitation hold, once the ship was cruising through the black mass of space he switched the ships controls to auto and made his way over to the large port window were he stood there with a glazed look in his eyes, as he thought about his mother's words which repeated over his mind a lot (follow your heart).

He wondered if that was what he was doing. Did he actually know what he was searching for? All these thoughts ran through his head like an electrical storm.

Lore shook his huge head sending his dread locks swinging left to right, he grunted with a disapproval at him-self for wasting so much time in thought and quickly made his way over to a door on his right, he held his hand up to a glass oblong door scanner that lit up blue and instantly scanned the Dorsal aspects of his hand, the scanner made two short beeping noises and turned green for a granted access

Lore entered the large room and looked around carefully choosing his practice weapons, his eyes fell upon the new set of blades his father had given him, he must have spent a good hour swirling them about and pretending he had a worthy opponent in front of him.

Lore suddenly stopped when something caught his eye and stood up straight from his slightly crouched position, he turned to his left to look at the mounted item on the wall.

He hadn't seen this weapon before and could only assume it was the weapon his mother had left for him. On closer inspection of the weapon he noticed it was very long and thin in shape, he reached up with both hands and took the weapon from its mounted holder, he looked at it carefully realizing the hard black leather was actually a casing for the weapon within.

He carefully pulled the end of the case to reveal a glimpse of a mirror shinny blade, he quickly pulled the casing off fully and held up the weapon in front of him, he was quite shocked at the single-edged sword which was slightly curved, the blade length must have been more than 60cm it was slender and very light with a long grip handle.

Lore frowned at the sword, as he couldn't understand why his mother would give him such a weapon, which was clearly useless and would have no real impact due to its lightness in weight.

Lore decided to humor him self with the weapon and looked around for something to strike at.

He stopped when finding the perfect target, an animal hide his father had mounted to the wall as a trophy.

Lore held the sword's handle with both hands and raised it above his head and brought the sword back down hard in front of the animal skin , he paused! shocked as he didn't even hear the sword tear through the tough hide.

Lore looked to the other half of the hide on the floor and then held the blade up staring at it, his eyes were wide, it was like a gift from the gods! He tightened up his mandibles and practiced a few quick combat moves with the new weapon.

Lore couldn't believe what a difference this weapon could make in combat or on hunts, he would certainly have a faster response time with this weapon, he retrieved the swords protective casing from the floor and carefully reunited the sword with the casing and then mounted it back on the wall, as he stood and glared at it further he was suddenly alerted by a wailing noise coming from the control room.

Lore quickly made his way to the helm and looked straight to the red pulsating words which were screaming out for his attention. WARNING, WARNING, ASTROID BELT.

Lore dived over to the controls and turned them back to manual. He maneuvered the ship the best he could away from the huge spinning boulders, a few hit causing the ship's insides to spark and hiss as the ship was becoming more damaged the longer he stayed in the boulders path.

Lore took the ship through narrow passage ways in between the boulders, just as he thought he was clear he pressed the button that would boost him well away from the asteroid belt 'But, as he hit the button his ship was hit by a very large slow spinning rock which along with the booster sent his ship spinning through space aimlessly, Lore had hit his head whilst been thrown from one side of the ship to the other, he now laid on the floor unconscious.

…

Two days had passed since Lore was knocked unconscious 'but, now he started to stir from his deepened sleep.

He opened his eye's and was surprised to see another Yautja in front of him, Lore widened his eyes and was about to ask questions 'But, the young Yautja opened his mouth first, shouting "He's awake, He's awake", an older Yautja came to his side holding a medical scanner.

"Finally, your awake Lore", the older one said

"Were? Who? How do you know me? Lore asked

"I know of you and your name because there's only one Yautja in are entire existence that looks like you", the older one said with a smirk.

Lore grunted at the stupid question and sat up, "Where am I? He asked.

"I am afraid your on Earth, where was it you were traveling to? The older one asked.

"Earth", Lore replied.

"Good, its fortunate your ship was spinning toward Earth then and not the Sun, Hmm", the older one said whilst reading the results of the scanner, "Your lucky no broken bones or injuries we couldn't heal".

"Heal! How long have you been attending to me? Lore asked whilst looking to the vertical scar on his chest.

"Two day's all in all, we saw your ship which was still spinning even when it hit this planets atmosphere", the older one said.

"We? How many are on this hunting party? Lore asked as he looked around the dense forest.

"There's two blooded hunter's including my self and four non blooded, one you have met already his names Snipe, he'd be the youngest of us all. My names Dalkar, I am also a medic for this hunting trip. I hear great things about you and your hunting skill's, they say your one of the best in combat? Dalkar said with widened eye's at his pure chance of meeting Lore.

Lore seemed to avoid Dalkar's interest in him and asked about the damage to his ship.

"You will not fly that anymore, it's beyond repair I'm afraid, we will be returning home in 3 ooman days if you want to join in on the hunt? Dalkar said eagerly.

Lore didn't have much of a choice as he couldn't fly his ship home, and he came to think of this so calledFOLLOWING YOUR HEART adventure, a waist of time, so he decided to join in on the hunt and go back home in 3 days.

Dalkar described the oomans large dwelling 2 mile's away, and that the oomans were guarding it well, all had weapons and they surrounded the place with electric wire of some sort, he said the other hunters had gone to watch the place to try and figure out what they were using it for?

Dalkar was tall and thin with dreads that stopped at his shoulder length, he had a few honor marks to his head and Lore could tell he was rather smart when coming up with strategies; Dalkar was interrupted by the young Snipe who nearly tripped on his way over to Dalkar.

"Kartar has just sent me a message informing us there's 5 more oomans to the east, Kartar seems to think they are nothing to do with the heavy guarded dwelling", Snipe said in a rushed voice.

Lore stood up tall and looked towards the east and said "Well, let's see what their up to"
