Sykes/Desnaki
The wind howled as a pair of unlikely comrades ascended the icy stairway leading to the Bansantha Shrine.
It caught the wings of one of them, a small Desert Nagi, and nearly sent the unfortunate snake sailing into a nearby snow drift. Shivering, he uttered a worried hiss and cuddled up against the side of his companion, a kuhna of likes never before seen in the World.
"Don't worry too much, buddy. We'll be inside soon enough," the kuhna, who went by the name Sykes, said to the nagi, Desnaki. Both friends were worried, but for different reasons.
Desnaki was afraid that he would freeze to death, being more at home in the desert rather than up here on the mountain. Sykes, on the other hand, was more concerned about the mission he and the nagi were soon to undertake.
Sykes had come to the Shrine in order to locate a Hunter for his owner. He had brought along Desnaki, one of his few friends, for support. This wasn't the sort of thing he'd want to undertake alone.
It wasn't long before the serpent and feline reached the Shrine's double doors. Desnaki, relieved to be getting out of the cold, promptly flitted up, and waited eagerly for Sykes to push them open.
The kuhna put his front paws on one door and pushed it open, holding it for Desnaki before disappearing into the place himself.
