"Death is not the end in my culture. Many of our shamen have bridged a connection with the astral realm, allowing our ancestors to relay otherwise lost information to the generation that was built upon their history."
Aisha said before sniffing the air and moving ahead of the pack. She had been raised by one her tribe's eldest sorcerers, who conditioned the young Warg to read and write the archaic languages that made her a master of her craft today. It was why her words were so confident and strong, despite Qarinah's silence on the subject.
The moonlight faded the further this caravan marched through Maalukia's twisted routes, but Aisha's blistering torch fought off the encroaching shadows. The trees were bending above them now, and the branches seemed to blot out the stars above. Luckily, their combined numbers meant they were safe against the weakers predators stalking them from afar, but Aisha's acute senses could tell that there were eyes on them.
"Not much is known about it's origins. But the Novik specializes in illusions to confuse its prey and hide its body. It's shadowy limbs possess astronomical strength, but it's true form is vulnerable to physical attacks."
"Yep and that's where you come in, kid. Yer' gonna be our secret weapon."
Dawli mentioned with his overly confident smile suddenly right next to Zol. He nudged him playfully, but enough to stumble his footing if he wasn't careful.
"Michio are supposed to be strong right? One punch, one kill. Big glory. Big money. Easy.. just stick close to me, alright?"
And with that, Dawli snapped his fingers and ignited a golden flame above the entire group the size of a basketball that emitted at least ten times the radiation of Aisha's torch. It illuminated everything within a forty foot diameter of the hunting party and floated above Dawli's head like his own personal star. He took this chance to assert himself ahead of Aisha so that he was the one leading the pack.
"You just let us know when that nose of yours picks something up. I got it from here."
He didn't even bother looking over his shoulder, he only unsheated one of the many blades he hauled on his person and rested it on his shoulders. Aisha's expression was less than impressed, but she never allowed her emotions to cloud her judgement or endanger her allies. She doused her torch and put more of focus into her sensory attributes. She shut her eyes and altered her breathing entirely. Opa remained silent as a corpse, as Qarinah.. sat back. She was paying for this excursion after all so she had no issues following their lead.
