She was far, very far from the reaches of her home in Yukomo. While she was accustomed to high elevations, something about this particular mountain felt different. The brisk air and chilly temperatures certainly weren’t doing her any favors; the cold didn’t agree with the huntress.
Still, Neo possessed a strong ambition to sate her adventurous desires and so, exploring this mountain meant that she’d deal with discomfort for a while.
Progressing further (and higher), she began to notice that the wildlife in these parts seemed to stay distant, in comparison to the bottom of the mountain.
Remnants of animal parts could be seen as the climb continued; traces of bones and blood blended in with the environment. In time, the surroundings began to look more like feasting ground.
Fiery hues soon saw it; a large figure with a metallic body and massive wings.
Kushala Daora: an elderdragon. She had never seen one in person before until now, but plenty of hunter tales met her ears in the past about this great creature.
Instinctively, she went to reach for her blades, however… she stopped ahead of the notion and remained still as could be. This wasn’t a fight she was prepared for and needless to say, that’s not why she came to the mountain in the first place.
Out of curiosity, the woman instead reached into her pack to retrieve a few strips of jerky and tossed them out a ways in front of her- just to see what may happen.
it was like a cat when it came to its food, using its overly long neck to grab hold of each small piece of jerky and snap it all with its mighty [but not that strong] jaw. Each one eaten with gusto as if it was starving.
Kushala Daora looks past the direction and see’s the hunter, its body movign slowly like a lumbering beast as it puts its nose to the ground, attempting to smell for more food. Slowly walking towards the hunter who had tossed it. If the hunter had not moved, the daora would have had its nose close to the pack and poking it. As if it dropped more jerky or not. Its huge nose and body too close for comfort.
