I went into the tree and continued the pursuit. The claw-marks grew more. It must felt secure because we it was in a familiar surrounding. Now it was time to be careful. I wentb into stealth and slowed my tempo down to a crawl. It costet me nearly half a hour before I was able to find it.

I stumbled into a clearing in which I wanted to rest a little bit, but then I saw a cave, and nearly every mark went into the direction of the cave. My heart skipped a beat, oh pleas don't come out now! I stumbled as fast as I could into a bush and watched the cave-entrance. For 10 minutes I layed there without moving a musle and with a flat breathing. As nothing was coming out of the cave, I relaxed somewhat, but I was still watching it and I was still on guard in case it came out.

I retreated back into the forest and catched my breath. That was to close for my taste. After I calmed down a notch, I started making a plan. I am not going into the den, that would be suicide! My only option is a sneak attack/ambush when it came out of the cave. So I started my preperations, which weren't much,really. I climbed the biggest tree, which had one thick branch which I could crouch down. After I was in position, I took the rest of my meat, putted it down and started cocking it a little bit with my Pyromancing. After it had a good smell to it, I pushed it down, where it landed near the entrance of the cave, and started waiting.

I didn't have to wait for long, because after roughtly 8 minutes, I could see a sniut coming out of the cave. It sniffed the air for another 3 minutes, in which I was sweatin g nervously, hoping that it smelled the food and would overlooke me. I was lucky, because after the 3 minutes it went out into the clearing. And I was like... WOW. (Now comes a discription and I just want to say that I never did this so be with me. Here is also a link for the ones who want a picture of a nexu.)(Nexu | StarWars.com)

What came out of the cave was a 1,5 meter high and 3,5 meter long body, but no wait, 2 meter long body and a 1,5 meter long, forked, whipelike tail that was ready to whip the living hell out of someone.A mouth that could bite me in half with just one bite and teeth like a shark. The grayish, nearly white, fur was adored with scars and black stripes.It was a nexu! Now I know why I knew this planet! This is the homeworld-planet for nexu! I was excited, because I always liked the cool-looking, feline-looking animal, even when one was killed in on geonosis in the movies. But I was also scared. Even when they can't take a lot, they can give you a lot of damage and are agile as fuck!

I have just this one chance, otherwise I am fucked! The Nexu was coming closer and closer, the six red eyes fixed on the still steaming meat.

Just a little farther... more.... NOW!

I jumped down from my hideout, my Vibrodagger sharp and ready, and my mind resolved and ready to do the deed. And I nearly made it. Nearly. But just as I was seconds away from sinking my dagger into his had, it turned with breathtaking speed away. But it was to late and I got it in the right shoulder. I was still hanging on my dagger and riped it with a painful howl from the monster and got soem distance between us. The Nexu also retreated some steps back and Inspected it. It started licking it to stop the blood, but I wouldn't let that happen. I drew my blaster and began shooting at it. My first three bolts missed but the last hittet it in one of teh eary, whta made it more angry than hurt.

The whole time I had my Force Detection active, and It began giving me a bad feeling until I had the feeling I am going to die. I gave in too my urge and made a role to the right. And at that moment a notifcation shot in my face:

Skill gained: Force Danger Sense

I franaticly swiped it away that it didn't block my vision anymore. And that at the right moment because the nexu was already jumping again. My new Dange Sense screamed at me t jump forward, and I trusted it. Now we again stood at across from each other, me with my blaster and vibrodagger in hands, and the Nexu with a intelligence and hatred I didn't new they could have. But before I could wonder about this, the nexu jumped again but I was ready this time. I ran torwards it, and at the last moment I slittered under it belly and got a good shot into it. As is slittered to a stop I jumped uo and looked at the nexu. But it was Still standing! I tought there were animals that had light bones and couldn't take damage good. But the Nexu was still standing.

We were staning pretty close to each other and the nexu barraged me with a furry of claw-swipes. I could dodge the majoroty of it, but one swipe got my blaster, and the follow up got me good on the shoulder. I quickly jumped back, and there we were again. We looked at each other. and we both knew that just one of us would walk away from here.

A leaf was slowly coming down from the tree I jumped down and it made it way slowly down to the ground. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knive. As the leaf touched the ground, we ran at each other. The nexu got me in the shoulder and bite on. I screamed at the top of my lungs because of the pain. But when I am going to die, I am going to take you with me! I stabed the dagger over and over and over into the brain of the animal.

The nexu slowly let go and broke on the grownd down. I was bloodied from head to tow. The last things I remembered was that I dragged myself into the cave and that I activeded my Force Healing.

And a softly meow.
