It was a nice day to be out for a stroll. The sun was shining, and yet the cool wind blowing in from over the sea kept the temperature comfortable. Perhaps most enjoyable, at least to two of the creatures walking forth today, it was a change of scenery.
Sykes had grown weary of the darkened halls of Basantha Shrine, where he had mostly gone on his previous outings. He wanted some sun. And at the Dead Coast, there was plenty of sun. Not to mention, there was the sea as well. Heck, he might even see one of those palm tree-like creatures they called "Palmies."
An even better indication of his fairly chipper mood was the fact that he was not alone. On his left flittered the desert nagi known as Desnaki. The snake had rarely left the Ruins since that chaotic first trip to the shrine, due to Sykes's wanting to find a lifemate and feeling Desnaki somehow distracted him. For many bored days, he had nothing to do but flit around aimlessly about the Ruins. At long last, he was off with his best friend on a trip to somewhere new. He loved it, and illustrated this with happy hissing and glancing around at this new world with wonder in his eyes.
On Sykes's right, with a water pouch hanging around her neck, was a Translucent Kuhna. Tiamat, much like Desnaki, had only been out of the Ruins once in her lifetime, on a trip to Craiss with her brother Oroki and her "Aunt" Skye. Her father was the demon known as Ankara, Sykes's worst enemy, but despite this she was actually quite a peaceful being who found Sykes's calmness preferrable to Ankara's womanizing and rather violent attitude. Perhaps because of this, relations between her and her family had soured since she came of age. Wanting to escape it all, she had decided to accompany her foster father to the Dead Coast. Presently, she turned to Sykes.
"Well, we're here now. But what are your plans when it starts to get late? I fancy you don't want to stay out too long." she asked of him.
Sykes frowned slightly. "I'm thinking about heading for that city they say is around here. Perhaps we can check out a hotel room or something." He glanced up at the sky. "I'm not sure what the moon's going to be like tonight...."
"I'm pretty sure the full moon was yesterday, but then again I'm not really in your position." Tiamat responded, doing her best to comfort her foster father. She knew all the too well of his condition.
Desnaki, sensing something was wrong, flittered over to Sykes and glanced at him, emitting a worried and questioning hiss.
Sykes smiled. "Don't worry, bud. It's nothing. Just an awkward subject." This response sufficed for the nagi, who cheerfully flew off somewhat inland.
Tiamat followed him with her eyes. "Well, we're here now. Let's enjoy the sun while it lasts." she said.
