Life Excerpt

He let out a sigh. This had probably been one of the more difficult beast trackings that he’d ever done. Not only had he first had to deal with interpreting exactly what it was that Rhan’ka had wanted him to do. And seeing as the innkeeper at the Whistlebloom Oasis wasn’t…quite sane, that had been an obstacle in and of itself. It turned out to be a particularly evasive saurolisk that Rhan’ka wanted to be rid of as well. A saurolisk that apparently enjoyed sneaking up on unexpecting travelers and attacking them, seemingly, out of the blue. Ikira let out another sigh. The truth of the matter was that he, himself, was also a bit distracted. Or his mind was at the very least. He raised his head and looked towards the horizon. To the untrained eye, and anyone not familiar with Vol’dun it would seem like he was just looking out over yet more sand dunes. But Ikira was looking beyond that. Beyond all of those dunes and towards what lay beyond them. Close to the bordering sea there was a temple that belonged to the snake people called the sethrak. The Terrace of the Devoted. And that was where he and Rikai were planning to meet up. They were on separate missions right now, which had kept them apart for close to three weeks. That was the longest that they’d ever been apart since… He couldn’t help but smile as the memories came flooding back to him. He’d been friends with the rogue for most of his life, but four months ago their friendship had blossomed into something… more. They hadn’t explicitly said that they were in a relationship. But both of them knew that that was the case.
A sudden low clacking noise to his side brought him back to the present. He looked at his traveling companion and pet, Pockets, that was waiting next to him. The gold-colored beetle was probably big enough for Ikira to ride on, and had been a loyal companion for a long time. Ikira knew this insect as well as the spots on his own back, and the beetle was acting differently than his usual self. He seemed more… nervous than usual. Shifting his viewpoint to where Pockets seemed to be focusing he finally noticed something that made him smile. He’d seen a shift in the sand that didn’t make any sense. Well, it didn’t make any sense unless you were on the hunt for a big lizard that had the ability to make itself basically disappear from view using stealth.
After camouflaging himself and Pockets they slowly crept closer to the area where the saurolisk’s current location. As they were moving Ikira took the harpoon that he had strapped to his back. And when they had crossed about halfway between where they had been hiding before and where he’d seen the shift in the sand, Ikira sent in Pockets to attack. Just as he predicted the lizard revealed itself as the big beetle came barreling towards it. And as it revealed itself Ikira readied the harpoon and hurled it at the beast. The harpoon hit the lizard in the hind leg, pinning it to the ground. Using the rope attached to the harpoon, to give himself more momentum, Ikira jumped into the air and towards the ongoing fight, raising his spear ready to sink it into his prey.
