Ha'kai & Rez'ka
Basantha... it had been his home for ages, and how he had hoped he would never return. But word had come that they were needed, to help others find a hunter themselves. Ha'kai and Noka had set out alone, and determined.
But of course, she wasn't going to be left behind. She had never seen Basantha Shrine, home of her kind, whom she had never met. She was born free, never touched by the curse the rest of her kin had suffered under. She was unwanted, she knew. But that didn't stop her. She wouldn't let Ha'kai's pitiful refusals put her off. She was coming and that was that.
So they arrived, Ha'kai annoyed, despite his very friendly nature, and Noka tired. The silence that usually lay undisturbed over the shrine was suddenly broken as Ha'kai roared loudly and enraged at Rez'ka. The opal female laughed raucously and fled ahead, not paying attention to where she was going, so immersed in her glee she was.
