Natku, The Male Flamnir

Five Years later

It’s been five years since I was born I’m learning how to run a business from mom. Even though I still can’t do the work she still taught me all the basics on how to interact with suppliers and clientele. My dad has also been teaching me how to hunt we’ve gone into the Forrest to Lay traps and forage. My dad has even been teaching me to hunt some of the safer wild life I mostly use traps because we don’t have moms permission to be in the Forrest. Dad says that mom will throw him in the deep forest if she hears we’re hunting but it’s necessary to learn how to protect yourself in this city.

I come to the Forrest with dad to hunt twice a week. We usually catch shadow rabbits and sell them to other hunters since the fur can be used as camouflage and we don’t really need money since mom supports us, so we come to learn instead. I’m also friends with the other hunters kids I even met a girl that’s a flamnir like me named Minai she has pink hair unlike my white hair, but we both have red skin. I also met a Twi Lek boy named Chee. We all met this year since we just started joining our dads.we go to the same school and all advanced two grades ahead of others.

My dad and me have been hunting for hours and we haven’t caught anything and from what I’ve heard neither have the other hunters. Once we all realized that the Forrest was more quiet than usual our dads started to pack everything as fast as they could.

“Guys start packing and if something happens run straight to the city and to your moms” my dad told the three of us.

Just as dad finished talking I heard growls from the other side of the camp. The sound of just one is enough to make our spines tremble, and the multiple growls we hear makes it hard for me to think. My dad grabs his weapon. Minai and Chee started to take slow steps backwards but I heard something move and signaled them to stop they were about to take another step when a girick stepped out of the bushes and got ready to pounce on us. The beast bent it’s legs and used it’s eight inch claws to grip the ground. I looked it in the eyes to attract its attention. Not wanting my friends to get hurt I take some small steps towards my side and call to it. The beast jumps at me with its mouth open showing its rows of long, sharp fangs. I leapt aside but the beast caught my leg with one of its claws. It raised its other paw and swung down at me.
