THE FIRST HUNT
In the shadow of the stars,
We crawled in chains.
The Sky-Tyrants, the Amengi,
Fed on our strength,
Mocked our silence.
We were beasts in the pit,
Blood for their laughter.
But one rose — Kaail.
Claws bare, heart unbroken.
He did not kneel.
He did not fear.
With bone he carved the first blade.
With rage, he cleaved the first skull.
He feasted on his masters’ terror.
He became Hunter.
He became Alpha.
The Tyrants burned.
Their sky-cities fell.
Their chitin became our armor.
Their tools became our law.
From Kaail, we learned:
Honor in the Hunt
Strength by Trial
Death with Glory
We are no one’s prey.
We bow to no gods.
We Hunt. We Endure. We Rise.
Blooded by Kaail.
Named in Fire.
Bound by the Code.
We are Yautja.
We are Free.
