Kwei

{{He survive!}}

"Be brave, brother."

Kwei still hears the words echoing in his mind — the last gift he gave Dek before turning on their father. He remembers the desperate flicker in his younger brother’s eyes as the spacecraft roared to life, carrying Dek toward Genna and the impossible trial of hunting the Kalisk. Kwei had believed, with grim certainty, that he would die in that moment. He had fought until his body failed, losing an arm to Njohrr’s fury. Yet fate intervened: the dust storm kicked up by the departing vessel cloaked his broken form, granting him a sliver of escape.

Hijacking Njohrr’s vehicle, battered and bleeding, he fled. One extra stolen craft later, the once‑honored son of the mighty clan leader found himself exiled on a distant world. He had wanted to follow Dek, not to interfere in the hunt — that would dishonor his brother’s trial — but simply to witness Dek prove their father and clan wrong. His wounds denied him that chance, forcing him instead into refuge among foreign flora and hostile beasts.
