'And so begins the Journey.'
A thunderous step marked the beginning of the search for either, or both, of two elusive and rare creatures amidst the Basantha Shrine. A low rumble arose from the throat of the brute as he started his decent into the Halls of the Lost, no fear in his dark eyes. Darkness was nothing to fear for this Paragon, as he spent most of his time in the dark, moving only at night. His senses heightened so that he may hear for a potential threat, the great Primal Paragon used every advantage he could, even that of his own flaming tail, which threw off a green glow around him to give just enough light to see where his feet fell. However, though the great beast looked to be alone, a small shadow followed quietly beneath the great beast, flitting between the two trunks of legs of the Paragon.
A little Kodile hovered between the great legs of the beast, his eyes wide with fear as his tiny body trembled, afraid of this dark place. Though he had only met Sogekihei a few days before, Koori had grown quite attached to him, but though he trusted him, Koori feared this strange place and wondered why they had come to such a dark and scary place.
"S-soge? W-why are we h-here?"
The tiny voice reached the hearing of the Paragon and he let out a sigh. Taking in the young Kodile wasn't perhaps the best idea Sogekihei had thought of, but even thinking these thoughts, Sogekihei didn't believe them for a moment. He knew the Kodile was in need of someone and if it had to be the Paragon, it had to be him. In a rather quiet voice for such a large Paragon, Sogekihei replied to the trembling creature, not slowing his pace.
"We are in search of either a Hunter or a Mekkayena. Now remain quiet. We must listen for them."
Silence followed his words, Sogekihei knowing that the obidient Kodile would listen and remain silent until spoken to. Whoever had raised the young creature, had certainly raised him with manners and obedience and Soge had to admire that. Continuing the trek through the dark of the Halls of the Lost, the Paragon did not slow as the darkness swallowed the two whole.
