Future Fic :: Forgotten Savages
• Kaylein “Kal” Daxyn •
Fifteen years ago, Kaylein climbed into her parents bed as she usually did after waking from a nightmare only to find the sheets drenched in their blood. She managed to escape her uncles clutches before he could ensure that she met the same gruesome fate that he bestowed upon her parents. Kaylein fled her home planet on a traders ship, but she was left with a scar to serve as a daily reminder of what happened that night. With her uncle Terryn in power and all of her parent’s allies dead, she knew going back wasn’t an option. But Terryn couldn’t just let her slip through his fingers. He put a sizable bounty on his niece in hopes of eliminating the last of his competition for the throne of Hexam.
For years, Kaylein was able to successfully live under the radar with the help of her scar, darkened hair, and a new name. Her luck eventually ran out when she was found by a member of an infamous bounty hunters Guild. With nothing more than a few units to her name, she used the truth about what her uncle had done to plead for her life. Much to her surprise, it was enough to garner the sympathy of the Mandalorian and he agreed to help her evade the other bounty hunters searching for her. They soon found out that they had more in common than an orphaned princess and a bounty hunter should, leading the Mandalorian to offer her a spot on his crew.
Together, Dyn and Kal become one of the most efficient and sought after bounty hunter teams in the Outer Rim. So, when they’re approached for an under-the-table commission with a large down payment and an even bigger payout, they don’t hesitate to accept. Resistance is part of the job, it’s to be expected. However, what they never expected was that the supposed fifty-year-old target was actually just a child.
