Y'SHAATI: THE WILD HUNT

The soothing sunlight illuminates once again the majesty of Amazonia. However, the peace and tranquility of the amazon jungle is interrupted by the arrival of an unexpected visitor, motivated by a twisted and sick obsession...

With each step she takes, the infamous huntress Devana moves into the depths of this green paradise in her quest to find a legendary creature of this place: Q'oya-Y'uraka'i, the Queen of the Monkeys... or at least that's what one of the natives said after receiving a terrible beating from the fearsome woman when she asked him the meaning of those strange words and the place where the creature lived.

Recognized in the criminal underworld of furtive hunters for her unbreakable will and unparalleled strength, Devana has traveled for so many days and nights through the jungle that she doesn't even know how long it has been since the last time she saw a human. Her insane pursuit has led her to survive in this dangerous but beautiful place like no other hunter had ever done before. Without a doubt, she was more than a survivor... she was a natural predator of the jungle.

However, her surprise was great when she learned that her efforts have been worthwhile the moment she suddenly observed among the thick foliage of the trees, something she would never have imagined possible...

"Well, well... what do we have here! This is definitely something you don't see every day, heheheheh...", Devana said with a sinister smile on her face, while staring from the shadows at the naked girl who was standing on a tree branch just in her way. Unfortunately, the girl hadn't realized she was being watched. A terrible mistake that would leave an unforgettable memory this day in the life of Y'shaati, the guardian of Amazonia...

"What the fuck's up with this girl? How can she move like this!? She has the skills and agility of a monkey!", Devana thought when she saw Y'shaati swinging through the vines and squat on a large trunk, as she followed her stealthily.

"She even behaves as if she were a... wait a minute... could it be that she... she is... yes... yes... YEESS!! IT'S HER!!!", exclaimed the huntress inside her twisted mind while the image of the wild girl reflected in her demented eyes.

"It's real... it must be her, the fucking queen of the monkeys... is a human... this is perfect! Heheheh, hahahaha... MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!".

Devana couldn't help but laugh maniacally at the same time she began to load bullets into her rifle. Immediately, she put a knee on the ground, raised her weapon and pointed at Y'shaati.

"Ohhh fuck me, heheheh... it seems that I've hit the jackpot!".

"...You're mine now..."

A thunderous sound echoed through the jungle, causing all kinds of birds to flee in terror, leaving their nests behind to save themselves. A sound that, unfortunately, many animals already know and for most of them, is the last thing they hear before they cease to exist in this world. That sound means only one thing: death...

But not this day... not for Y'shaati. Devana watched in surprise as the wild girl moved at great speed, dodging the bullet just before it could penetrate her naked body.

"What...? How the fuck...!?", Devana shouted angry while quickly reloading her weapon.

"Take this!!" Without hesitating a second, the huntress fired her rifle again, only to see Y'shaati jump from the trunk, evading the gunshot with impressive monkey agility.

Devana remained speechless as her face began to turn red. Her rising fury prevented her from finding a reason to explain how the naked girl had descended from a considerable height completely unharmed. Y'shaati remained crouching on the ground, staring directly at her enemy's eyes, without a trace of fear in her face...

"Who do you think you are!? You fucking savage... DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME, BITCH!!"

Y'shaati kept her composure and her gaze fixed on the strange human female without moving a single muscle despite having heard her threatening call. As in her previous encounters, she was unable to understand the complex language of humans, however, that didn't prevent her from noticing in her body language that her intentions weren't good. Who was this female? Why she looked so different from the other humans?

"The hell are you looking at!? Have you never seen someone as imposing as me? Ha! I think I'm beginning to understand... you're nothing but an animal without a trace of intelligence...", said Devana in a smug tone of voice.

"Come on! Come closer, you little shit! What, are you afraid of me?". Y'shaati remained in silence.

"I imagined it, heheheh... your name suits you well: you are as stupid and coward as a damn monkey hahahaha... BOO! HAHAHAHAHA!!"

Suddenly... the mocking laugh of the huntress was interrupted...

Devana watched Y'shaati beating her own chest with great strength while producing a powerful and unrivaled battle cry...

"AAAHHOOOOHHAAAAAAAAHHHHミOOOOHHHAAAAAAAHHミOOOHAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Once again, the face of the infamous huntress slowly flooded with anger...

The wild girl had humilliated her again...

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!! So that's how you want to do it, eh!? Well, come on then! I'm not gonna need this fucking thing... ARRGHH!", Devana screamed just before breaking her rifle in half with her knee, as a display of her incredible strength.

"I'll kill you with my own hands!", the crazed woman said as she tossed her broken weapon to the ground and extended her arms, prepared to charge at the naked girl at anytime.

Y'shaati reacted to the sudden movement of the huntress and immediately leaned her body to plant her knuckles on the ground, adopting her Tahuayo battle stance. She knew the conflict was already inevitable... it was time to defend the jungle from this new threat...

"What are you waiting for, damn whore!? Come on, here I am! Fight me!", Devana shouted to trigger Y'shaati while both women moved cautiously before any attack.

"Ooh-ooh ah-ah!! Ook-ook, ooh-ooh! Ahh-ahh-ah!", Y'shaati answered at her enemy's provocation.

"Do you really think you're a fucking ape or something!? You're nothing!!"

"OOH-OOH AH!! HSSSKKK!!", the naked girl replied as she showed her bare fangs.

"And now you're hissing like a cat... I'm getting tired of your shit. I'll show you that you're just as weak and pathetic as all the damn animals and people I've killed! I AM A FORCE OF NATURE!! YOU WILL DIE TODAY, MONKEY-BITCH!!"

Just then, Devana, completely out of her mind, sprinted towards the feral girl to attack...

The battle had begun...

"COME HERE, BITCH!", the furious huntress shouted just before trying to land a hit on the naked girl. She took a big leap to pounce Y'shaati, as if the disturbed woman's mind had devolved into one of a psychopath.

The feral girl managed to evade Devana's tackle by stepping backwards, causing Devana to crash into the ground. However, to her surprise, the huntress stood up in just an instant, holding the wild girl by her arm.

"Gotcha...", said the woman with a evil smile. Y'shaati struggled to break free from her grasp, but before she could make it, a tough fist hit her beautiful face three times in a row. Y'shaati fell to the ground.

"How did you like that, monkey-girl?", Devana said as she approached the savage girl. The huntress bent to lift Y'shaati, holding her again by her arm to continue punching her. Fortunately, the savage girl reacted quickly and landed a strong headbutt directly to Devana's face and kicked her stomach with her naked foot to keep her away. The infamous huntress stepped back dizzy from the blow. Still on the ground, Y'shaati seized the chance to do a low sweep kick, making Devana fall into the jungle soil as well. The wild girl quickly crawled away again to maintain a safe distance from the woman.

"Argh...you little... don't fuck with me!"

In just a few seconds, Devana stood up and sprinted once more towards the naked girl. In a blink, she was right in front of Y'shaati again. The tough woman threw a series of powerful punches and low kicks that Y'shaati barely managed to dodge.

"Stay still, you damn bitch!", the angered woman shouted as she attacked. Devana's moves were surprisingly fast. She posessed an aggressive fighting style that was completely unknown for Y'shaati. The feral girl couldn't even take a break to counterattack. She had never received punches like those before in her life.

When she finally saw an aperture on the woman's stance, Y'shaati began to connect several of her acrobatic punches and kicks, pushing Devana backwards. But there was one detail: the huntress knew how to block all her attacks. The savage girl soon realized she wasn't damaging her opponent at all. Suddenly, Devana caught her off guard with a devastating knee to her belly and a powerful two-handed punch to her back. Y'shaati fell to the ground again.

"Ha! Your strength and agility is impressive. Blocking those attacks hurt me a little... but I'm still better than you, fucking savage...", the woman said. It was evident that Devana was a highly-skilled combat professional. The Monkey Queen began to understand that she could never defeat her this way; her rival had shown incredible resistance and poise.

If she wanted to stand victorious today, she would have to think on a plan to subdue her with a Tahuayo wrestling maneuver.

At that moment, Y'shaati ceased her attacks and stepped back away from the huntress. The wild girl suddenly ran to the nearest tree and began to climb it quickly. Apparently, she had already thought on something that could work.

"Where do you think you're going!? Get the fuck down from there, pussy! The hell are you trying to do!?", the imposing woman claimed from the ground when she saw the naked girl escaping into the foliage of the trees.

Devana completely lost sight of Y'shaati, however, she could still hear her. The Monkey Queen moved cautiously through the treetops to avoid making any sound and attack her by surprise.

"You can't outplay me. I know exactly what you're planning to do... I can smell your stinky body hiding up there...", the crazed woman said as she looked up, searching for the feral girl.

Squatting on a branch, the savage girl remained motionless, ready to pounce Devana from the back.

Just then, Y'shaati jumped out from the foliage, throwing herself towards the huntress like a wild ape.

"That ain't gonna work..."

Incredibly, Devana turned around and managed to resist Y'shaati's pounce without losing her balance, and instead, received her with a powerful blow straight to her jaw. Y'shaati crashed dramatically into the jungle floor...

Y'shaati couldn't see anything due to the brutal strike as she layed terribly battered on the ground...

"Stupid savage... you like to climb, swing and play to be the damn "Monkey Queen" isn't it!? Ha, don't make me laugh! You're a fraud, you're full of shit, hahahaha!", Devana exclaimed as she slowly approached and put her right foot on Y'shaati's exposed naked torso.

"They told me you were a legendary creature... a protector of the jungle... pssh, what load of shit!!", the huntress said as she violently stomped on the wild girl's body with her leather boots. Y'shaati moaned slightly due to the sudden pressure on her stomach.

"It hurts, right? Well, this is just the beginning! Take this, and this and this and this!!", Devana shouted as she began to stomp the feral girl's belly repeatedly. The savage girl screamed in pain.

"They said you were a Goddess, hahahaha... those stupid natives don't have the slightest idea... they couldn't recognize one even if she were right in front of their damn eyes!!", Devana said as she delivered a demolishing kick on her ribs.

"I wanna leave something very clear... I'M THE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS HERE!!", the deranged huntress shouted with a creepy smile before hitting a powerful stomp on Y'shaati's face.

The wild girl remained on the ground, terribly injured after that cruel beating. However, that didn't stop her from growling and kicking to get off the huntress boot from her cheek. She wanted to keep fighting. She even managed to incrust her nails into the woman's ankle.

"Ouch! Oh? You still have the strength to go on? Well, I must admit, you're tougher than I thought hahaha! But don't worry, I'm not done with you just yet..."

Devana took the Monkey Queen from her beautiful blond hair, lifting her off the ground once more. The mark of the huntress' boot was evident on Y'shaati' face. Then, the crazed woman carried her entire body, holding her by one arm and one leg. And suddenly, she proceeded to throw her into the ground... her head crashed horribly against a root.

Y'shaati screamed horribly in pain; she began to sob, unable to hold the tears from dropping from her azure eyes.

"Oh my goodness...! Are you crying? Seriously!? Shit, I can't believe it... you were taking it like a big girl so far!

Damn, and to think I just praised you for being tougher than I expected... I don't blame you tho, that must've hurt like hell. I think that last move was too rough for you, heheheh..."

After this inhuman punishment, the huntress knelt and whispered into Y'shaati's ear after she cleaned her tears:

"There, there... don't worry, my girl... that was the worst part. From now on, I'm gonna make you suffer slowly... heheheheh... HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Devana knelt just above the naked and terribly battered body of Y'shaati. The wild girl's sight was completely clouded. She couldn't see what the crazed woman was about to do next. No other rival had punished her like this in her life. She was driven even to the point of tears...

And then, at that moment, she felt the huntress' hand beginning to tighten her neck... this fight seemed to come to an end soon.

"Ohhh yes... This is my favorite part...", the insane woman said.

"I'm gonna torture you to death... but I'm gonna kill you veeeery slowly... I'm gonna enjoy each of your last moments... I wanna hear your moans of pain and agony...", said Devana with the same disturbing smile that characterized her. The woman had clearly lost her mind completely. There was only one idea going through her head: KILL.

"Yeah, just like that! Writhe, struggle, scream if you can... I wanna see the 'Queen of the Monkeys' humilliating herself before me hahaha!", exclaimed the huntress while seeing Y'shaati uselessly trying to free herself.

The suffocation was beginning to make itself felt... the savage girl began to open her mouth trying to breath and to kick desperately, even spreading her lithe toes due to the huntress terrible torture. Her life was slowly escaping from her body.

"Oh, what's wrong, dear? You don't like that sensation? Well, soon it will be over... everyone feels exactly the same way when I do this...", the huntress said as she tightened stronger.

"You know? I've killed lions, elephants and hippos in the Congo... I've slayed tigers in Siberia... I've dominated crocodiles in Australia... and I've murdered people in many countries... all with this very hands!".

"And I came here to hunt some stupid apes of the Amazon jungle... but you... you will be my greatest achievement... I will be recognized as the most fearsome huntress when I show the Monkey Queen's head to the whole world, heheheheh... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!".

The Monkey Queen kept kicking wildly while she scrunched and spreaded her toes continuously due to the asphyxia... every spasm her body showed was evidence of the terrible torment she was going through.

"It's a shame... now that I'm face to face with you, I see under that tangle of blond hair you hide a cute face... who would've imagined it... you're beautiful...", Devana suddenly said with a creepy but calm voice just before approaching and sensually licking one of Y'shaati's tears.

"Oh well... now, stay still, heheheh..."

In that moment, Devana released Y'shaati's left arm and looked for the knife she always carried on her right leg. That knife had been the executioner of many animals and people alike on countless occasions, and this time, the fearsome huntress wanted to feed it with the blood of one more prey. Despite having a free arm, the wild girl couldn't find a way to remove her hand from her neck.

"Okay now, before I cut off your head and I bathe with your blood, I want you to do something for me...", the woman said while holding the sharp knife just a few millimeters away from Y'shaati's face.

"I know you probably can't understand anything I say, but I wanna hear you say my name... I want your last thought to be the name of the person who ended your life..."

"I'm Devana... c'mon, say it for me... Devana..."

"I know you can do it... say Devana, c'mon! Devana... Devana... Devana!", the insane woman insisted.

Y'shaati could still hear the huntress shouting that strange word over and over again. Her voice began to sound farther and farther inside her head due to the lack of air. Without a doubt, she would lose consciousness at any moment. Everything seemed lost for the Monkey Queen. This would be the end of her legend...

"Say... my... name...!", the huntress shouted as she prepared to stab Y'shaati...

"SAY MY FUCKING NAAAAME... SAAAY IT! DEVANA... DEVANA... DEVANA... DEVANA... DEVANA... DEEEEEEVAAAANAAAAAA!!"

The huntress raised her arm... and then...

"...De..."

"...Huh...!?", the woman stopped.

"...De... De..."

"What the... Arrgghh!!", the huntress screamed when Y'shaati managed to throw a handful of dirt right into her eyes.

"...DE-VANA...!!"

Suddenly, Y'shaati threw a powerful punch direct to Devana's face. The blow was hard enough to cause the huntress to drop her knife, release her neck and stagger her for a moment. The wild girl took this brief chance to push off Devana's body away from her with her arms and kick her right in her chest with unbelievable strength... Devana flew off a meter away.

"Argh... damn bitch!! H-How... HOW DARE YOU!?", the disturbed woman said as she layed on the ground, holding her jaw. She quickly stood up and regained her posture.

"This isn't going to end like this!! You've done it!! This time I'm gonna rip your fucking entrails off!! YOU'RE SO FUCKING DEAD!!"

Devana began to walk to pick up the knife... however, just before the insane huntress could bend down to take it, she began to feel dizzy all of a sudden. The whole jungle began to spin around her, causing her to put one knee on the ground and close her eyes for a moment.

"W-what the hell... Damn it. What is happening...? That punch wasn't even that strong, why do I feel this way? What did you do to me, bitch!?, Devana shouted at Y'shaati.

However, when she finally looked up to see her, Y'shaati was just squatting there, looking at the ground... motionless.

Devana knew something was off...

"W-what... what are you doing... what the fuck is wrong with you!?"

Y'shaati's breathing became intense... her heart pounding harder than ever...

Her messy hair covered most of her face. A feeling of hatred began to dominate her mind and reasoning... she had never felt so much hate for someone. The image of the huntress kicking her, stomping her, strangling her was present in every single thought. The trauma and pain this woman had caused her was making her wildest instincts to emerge and control her like never before.

She knew very well the things her wrath could do, however...

"...De-vana...", she whispered. Her azure eyes began to glow brightly... her body was trembling.

"...the hell...!?"

"...De-vana...!", she began to growl like an animal. It was too late. Y'shaati was gone... Q'oya-Y'uraka'i, the Spirit of Amazonia had waken up...

"...DE-VAAANAAA!!"

And then, the savage Monkey Queen charged at full speed towards Devana as she screamed and leaped into her like an enraged ape. Devana was just beginning to stand up when she noticed Y'shaati's silhouette about to fall on her.

"Oh fuck!!", the huntress shouted when she felt the weight of the wild girl's body. Both fell to the ground due to the tackle. Being on top of her, Y'shaati began to launch a storm of blows right into Devana's face.

"Arrgghh!! Get off me, bitch... Arrgh, keep your filthy body away from me!!", the woman said as she tried to defend herself without success. Y'shaati snarled like a wild beast. For the first time, the Monkey Queen was hurting the huntress with those powerful punches. Her strength had greatly increased.

"I SAID GET OFF ME...!!", Devana shouted shortly before she managed to land a tough kick on Y'shaati's belly with her boot. The savage girl fell back as the huntress tried stand up.

However, in just a second, Y'shaati regained her posture and planned to throw herself violently against the insane woman again...

"Shit, shit, SHIT!!", the huntress murmured as she desperately crawled across the floor to get away from Y'shaati as quickly as possible. The wild girl's heavy blows caused her such damage that she was still unable to stand up. Her head was spinning around and round in a spiral of confusion and pain...

"The knife... the knife... where's the fucking knife!?", she said to herself as she scanned the floor, looking for her weapon.

When Devana finally regained her balance to put herself back on her feet, her face turned pale as she watched the savage girl galloping like an enraged gorilla towards her at full speed. Since many years of hunting, the woman hadn't experience such feeling... the huntress felt a deep and primitive fear...

"No... get away from me, you crazy bitch! NO!!", the woman shouted as she stepped backwards. A second later, the Monkey Queen tackled Devana with overwhelming strength, aggressively crashing her against the jungle floor.

"Arrgh!! How dare you!? I swear to God I'm fucking gonna... Mhhh, Mhhh... MGHH!!", the huntress was interrupted when Y'shaati put a tough bare foot right on her mouth.

"De-vana, De-vana!!," the wild girl screamed as she stomped on her rival's face over and over again, just like Devana had done with her before. The huntress desperately tried to stop it until she finally got her foot off her.

"ARGH! YOUR FILTHY AND DISGUSTING FOOT... FUCKING GROSS!!", Devana angrily shouted.

However, in just an instant, Y'shaati held Devana by her hips with a powerful hug, completely lifting her off the ground. The savage girl was ready to apply a powerful gorilla wrestling technique: Y'shaati stood up, and applied a brutal inverted suplex... Devana flew away a few meters until her head and neck collided dramatically against the ground.

"AARGGHH!!", the woman screamed when she felt an intense pain in her back...

Devana's will to keep fighting was unwavering. Despite having a considerable injury in her spine, she slowly tried to get up again, leaning on a tree that was right next to her.

The huntress was standing again, but her movement was already very limited now and she was finding difficult to breathe... surely some of her ribs were broken and one of her lungs had collapsed due to the bestial tackle. Meanwhile, Y'shaati slowly approached her, moving like a jaguar stalking her prey before kill her. Her messy hair covered most of her face again.

"No, no... go away, away! You're a fucking animal, look what you've done to me!", The woman said with a broken voice... she began to understand her reality.

But it was too late. Y'shaati suddenly pounced once more on Devana, pushing her hard against the tree. Then, she locked her legs around the huntress's body. Devana finally catched a glimpse of the wildling's azure eyes.

"Y-your eyes... what... w-what the hell ARE YOU!?"

"...De-vana...", Y'shaati muttered in a disturbing tone.

"No... no... please, let me go... LET ME GO, PLEASE...!", Devana sobbingly said at the sight of Y'shaati's murderous cold gaze just a few millimeters from her.

"OOH-OOH, AH-AH, OOH-OOH!", the Monkey Queen howled wildly right at her face.

And then, in just an instant, Y'shaati threw a deadly bite on Devana's throat...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

A thin but gruesome stream of blood began running down the huntress's throat as the wild girl savagely ripped apart a piece of skin from her neck. A lethal attack that would definitely settle the outcome of this violent encounter...

However, with the very tiny bit of strength Devana still had left in her body, the woman managed to push the Monkey Queen away from her, making her fall to the ground.

The horrible shriek of pain coming from the insane woman's mouth was proceeded with a profound silence... Her face was in a complete state of shock... her eyes wide open... her empty gaze lost in the depths of the jungle in front of her. The woman's trembling legs only managed to take her a few steps away from Y'shaati in a pitiful and pathetic attempt to escape from there.

"Aghh... uugh... aaahh...", Devana moaned while she covered the wound on her neck with one hand, unable to speak a single word. Earlier pale due to the fear and now due to blood loss...

The huntress fell to her knees. She looked at the sky, struggling to cope with the situation... thiking how this could've happened to her...

But this wasn't over yet...

Suddenly, Devana felt the wrath of the Monkey Queen upon her one more time. Y'shaati jumped onto the huntress from the back, constraining her with her legs around her waist again.

Then, surprisingly, the savage girl put both hands right on the huntress's chest and torn apart Devana's shirt with ease. Now, the woman was suffering the same humilliation she did to her...

"Ahhhh... no... no... AAAHHH!", Devana whimpered with a weak voice when she sensed her rival's nails like claws incrusting in her soft breasts. The Monkey Queen snarled like a beast while she scratched her from the tip of her nipples down to her armpits...

After that, she took the woman by her arms... it was clear now, the next maneuver would finish this battle for good.

With the mighty strength of a gorilla, Y'shaati brutally pulled back Devana's arms as far as they went... a devastating move that could do an irreversible damage to any creature of the jungle.

"OOH-OOH, AH-AH... De-vana..."

"AAAAARRRGGHHH!!!"

"De-vana... OOH-OOH-OOH AHH!!"

"N-NO... P-PLEASE... FUUUCK, STOP... STOP IT... AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH...!!!"

Those were the huntress last words before a cracking sound could be heard, coming from her limbs...

The wild girl released Devana as she fell, feeling the most intense pain she had ever experience in her life... and this time she wouldn't get up again. Her arms were broken, completely disabled... and her spine was damaged too...

Y'shaati knew that even this demented human female couldn't endure a devastating punishment such as this. From now on, the huntress would be completely at her mercy.

"Ahhhhhhhh... h-how... could you...", Devana spoke in a agonizing voice, laying on the ground with her face kissing the jungle's humid and soft soil, and still bleeding out.

The Monkey Queen, still angered, approached the huntress. With little effort, Y'shaati moved Devana's body to put her face up, looking at the sky. Then, she proceeded to put herself above her on all fours, holding and extending the woman's disabled arms.

"Hnnngghhh... ahhhh...", the huntress groaned in pain.

"hsssssskkk...", the wildling growled while showing her teeth. She still had stains of her rival's blood on her fangs. Y'shaati had decided to end this woman's existence with one last deadly bite.

"I see... heheh, w-well done bitch...", the huntress said with a smile, much to Y'shaati's surprise.

"Go ahead then... d-do it... kill me... t-take my life... y-you filthy beast, heheheh...!"

As if she had understood Devana's words, Y'shaati suddenly doubted. She noticed the woman wasn't afraid of dying from one moment to another... why?

But as she stared at her prey's eyes, she got a look of herself on her pupils. Her reflection showed her the savage state she was and the brutal instincts driving her. She truly resembled a bloodlust beast... the same kind of murderous monsters she swore to her master K'uno she wouldn't turn into...

This wasn't right...

Y'shaati's face wasn't displaying anger nor desire to kill the woman that had caused her so much pain anymore... instead, she felt angry with herself. She had let her instincts combined with her power to control and turn her mind into a beast again...

Just then, she stepped back from the huntress body, observing the heavy damage she had caused her.

"W-what... what are you doing...?", Devana asked in a weak voice. Y'shaati stared at her for a moment...

The Monkey Queen acknowledged her mistake, she broke her master's promise. This violent woman had pushed her mental stability to the edge... however, she didn't felt sorry for her rival. She knew she didn't have to regret anything she had done to the huntress. She deserved to pay for her insolence... however, she wouldn't take her life. She would let the allmother jungle decide her fate...

"N-no... w-where are you going... y-you... you can't leave me here like this...!", the huntress reclaimed as she heard the feral girl walking away from her.

"Look at me... l-look at what you did to me...!", Devana demanded. By that time, Y'shaati had already climbed a tree to flee from that place... however, while she was crawled in a branch, she turned back at the woman before departing...

"Listen to me... there are only two sides in a hunt... the hunter, and the prey... only one must live in the end... if... if it ends like this... this whole fight will have been pointless. The hunt must be fullfilled, the hunt must be finished... THE HUNT IS EVERYTHING, hahahaha! Then, you must finish me... you must kill your prey... kill me... end me now!"

Y'shaati remained perched in the branch, listening to the huntress speech without understanding any single word. Despite this, the Monkey Queen could understand the tone of her speech... the huntress was asking for mercy... a quick way out from her suffering. Unnacceptable...

"What are you waiting... KILL ME! Have your vengeance for everything I did to you, rip my entrails off and feed upon my corpse if you will, you flithy beast... heheheheh... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Disturbed due to that last creepy laugh, the savage girl simply grabbed a vine and disappeared swinging through the depths of the jungle...

"COME BACK HERE! KILL ME! KILL MEEEEEEEEE...!!"

Those were the last words Y'shaati heard from Devana's voice...

The jungle had witnessed a fierce battle between two side this day... and only the spirit of Amazonia emerged triumphant...

But were the Monkey Queen's actions correct? Does the wicked huntress deserved to be spared?

A question impossible to answer, for the will of the jungle is enigmatic and unpredictable...

But one thing is certain... when death finds a way and life extinguishes, the cycle begins again...
