Re: Thallas's Thread
"There is nothing better that the thrill of the hunt. I tried many things when I was younger, and believe me -- tracking prey, outsmarting it and finally overpowering it is make one's feel like god from these old legends.
It is natural, primal thing. Animals are honest -- gundarks won't politely chat with you while preparing some kind of intrigue; they just attack. I wish my so-called relatives were as straightforward. I hate with their petty politicking. I had more than my share of it.
Imagine that -- is it fair to sent a man to exile for just a short trip in the forest, and two blaster shots fired? No? But they did, and you can't believe the fuss they made. 'Endangered species', 'about to extinct'... what a load of poodoo! I bet they never met Kerodean forest devil in person -- the beast could make anyone extinct first.
Probably if I kept silence, they would forget the matter. They did that many times in the past. But I wasn't -- I researched the archives and found that hunting the forest devils was a favorite pastime of our ancestors. I just restored the noble tradition, and instead of thanks I got a starship ticket and order to never come back. Cretins.
Heh. In some sense I grateful for that. Surely, I spend some time shooting mynocks for small change, but I understood an important thing: the Galaxy is big unruly place that is akin of jungle; these fools in their cozy cages don't know a jack. There is people that as dangerous as fierciest predators, and there are those who hunt them. I'm one of these hunters now. Mind you, I can't handle the biggest game yet, but someday..."
