Beyond the Badlands (Dek x Human)

Maya wakes up in the middle of a cracked wasteland - the unforgiving planet Genna. She doesn't know how she got there, or even who she truly is. All she has are fragments of blurry memories and the sharp, unrelenting instinct to survive.

Far from her, another survivor walks the wastelands - Dek, a Yautja rejected by his own father and who just lost his brother. He seeks the Kalisk, a powerful creature which is said it's impossible to kill.

Their paths cross when Maya, chased by a pack of savage scavengers, stumbles upon Dek's territory. At first, he sees her as a nuisance - weak, noisy, and irrelevant to his mission. Yet, there's something different about her: a sign that she's not just another stranded human. When he realizes she might unknowingly hold the key to finding the Kalisk, Dek reluctantly decides to keep her alive... for now.

Their uneasy alliance soon turns into a fragile partnership as they face the brutal dangers of Genna: storms that peel flesh from bone, alien beasts that hunt by heat and sound, and warbands of exiled predators. Maya learns to fight, to read the patterns of the stars, and to trust the instincts she didn't know she had. Dek, in turn, begins to question the boundaries between prey and warrior, between duty and connection.

But survival isn't the hardest part. It's the growing bond between a human who doesn't remember her past and a predator who can't escape his own.

Together, they walk the wastelands - two broken beings bound by war, destiny, and the question neither dares to answer: what are we, to each other?
