AVP Ultimate Prey 11

For two days Hin'tui has been sitting in total stillness, communing with the land. It is important, he thinks, to align with the hunting ground. You must make the territory your friend, your ally. He has seen too many younger Yautja ignore this. They treat the hunting ground as merely the stage on which their glory will be played out and their honor won. The land can be a powerful weapon. And if you do not make it your ally, you risk making it your enemy. But this is strange land. All the Yautja know that. It is why they come here. It is why not all return.

And not just because of the prey-Hin'tui already has two Kiande Amedha trophies, hard won to the obvious enhancement of his honor. He has no fear of them. No, it is the hunting ground itself that is to be feared. The sun is high in the sky, casting dappled golden light through the tallest branches of the trees. Hin'tui decides to commune a little while longer, to probe and examine this territory, to test for weaknesses he can exploit, or strengths
he can employ. Then, when night falls, the Hunt will begin.-pg.106 chpt.4
