The wookie stirred the campfire as he looked onto his human son. He was concerned, what he had to do was painful, but it was time for his son to become a man. Aihu started the tale with a heavy soul this time.

''Since the red blades came for your parents we have cared for you and since then we have raised you telling the tale of the Hunters of Ai'Zehir. Today I retell the tale one last time. Long ago the hunters travelled through the galaxy in unity, before the treachery of Draccis. They served their true purpose back then, they weighed souls. If one was weighed worthy the hunters would free that soul, however there were those who succumbed to the beast. For those souls the hunters would throw in the great well where they would suffer eternally. Then the treachery came, Draccis rose to power and corrupted the well and siezed it's power for his own. Soon the other hunters rose against him."''

Dakylco concentrated on the story as his father drew symbols in the ground. He pointed "what's that one again."

Aihu looked up at his son "The Transdoshans have mistranslated it..It's the symbol of the hunter...they translated it as Chaos..That's incorrect. It is the ever changing force life...that will challenge all that will come before..the strongest of the hunters."

Dakylco nodded as the story continued

''The hunters were split, some looking to seize power, sided with Draccis and turned against their purpose. Ai'zehir himself was corrupted by his disciples and fell from grace it said. The others united around one hunter, a scale skin. They fought to restore thier true purpose and fought to perserve life. The two forces battled until Draccis was betrayed. The hunter known as Cunning sought to take Draccis' power for his own. Cunning, being a great manipulator convinced Passion to go against her master. Together they made their move and the scale skin sensed the shift as he is the one who is a force of change. The Scale Skin attacked with his forces and over ran the beast, Draccis. The beasts forces were over ran and trapped in the well and the universe was safe. The Scale Skin sealed the well."''

Dakylco "and the universe was safe?"

"For a time yes, but then it was reopened again and Draccis rose...but that is another tale.."

Dakylco "Why are you telling me this now..."

Aihu looked at his son with love "Thier is a purple squall that has been hunting here. She hunts with passion like none I have ever seen."

Dakylco "You believe she is one of these hunters"

The wookie nodded "Maybe..but there is a heavier presence around her...the force of life...the scale skin...You must seek him out...help him or the evil of the well will once again descend and the beast will run free.
