Koumei has woven our fates together, surah. We now share this vision. Our celebration of Koumei's return has drawn the attention of demons. Draw them out by presenting offerings to Koumei, and then gut them as Hai-Luk might gut a Khut-Khut.20 > Saya

Koumei warns that Infested long dormant beneath our shores are stirring. Through this vision, we will ensure they never awaken. Bring our offerings to Koumei's shrine. Then when the Infested reveal themselves, cut them down.NaberusWildHunt

Fear. Such a delightful word.
[16.6]
It teaches us to beware the dark and all the things within it that go snippity-snap, eager to rend your innards from your belly, to stuff their own hungry guts.
[21.4]
Ooh! This puts me in mind of one of my favorite tales.
[36.8]
For there is one legend older than all the rest, one that, as civility beat back the wild, as centuries turned into millenia, has evolved along with us.
[44.1]
The fear of fangs, of shadows, of teeth that flash in the dark.
[54.5]
The story of a wolf waiting in the shadows - ready to rip out our throats.
[72.3]
It was on one fateful Naberus night that a hapless Grineer soldier discovered that one should not wander off into the deep woods alone... for alone, you may not be.
[83.4]
A howl split the darkness that sent a shiver down the spine.
[96.3]
Through all the horrors of war that this Grineer had seen, in all his years... there was something about the sound.
[110.2]
It tapped into the very thing that is born as we are born, sputtering and mewling into this uncaring world. Fear.
[122.9]
He was alone. He was being hunted. And he. Was. Afraid.
[128.4]
Into the night the Grineer soldier ran, over stump and through darkened glade.
[136.1]
With the sound of the beast growing closer, louder, howling, jaws slather-snapping -
[142.1]
A misplaced foot, an ill-timed step, and the ground came rushing up to meet him.
[149.3]
Rolling onto his back he sought to defend himself, at last catching sight of his pursuer.
[152.4]
Primal terror had come for him.
[165.1]
A twisted shape, bulbous, stinking, fetid... jaws drooling with ooze and ire - an infected kubrodon.11 > Grandmother
[5.3]
Lifting his marelok, his shaking hand took aim. Bang!
[8.7]
A single shot killed the beast dead.
[21.0]
He laughed at his own foolishness! He, a mighty soldier, afraid of a single, sad and infested kubrodon!
[35.2]
Hubris - my dear Tenno - is responsible for more tragedy in this world than any other inclination we may have.
[41.4]
Remember that, and someday it may save you.
[49.3]
For notice he did not that the slain beast's family had encircled him.
[59.4]
The creatures descended, sinking teeth into flesh, peeling sinew from bone, spreading their infested blood into him.
[68.4]
How he screamed, fighting off the monsters as best he could.
[75.9]
Fists pounded into fur as he fought like the beasts around him. It was all he had left.
[80.1]
One heartbeat would be all that could spare him from the grave.
[91.1]
In the end, he survived. Torn and shredded, bleeding and bitten, but alive.
[95.5]
He thought that his arduous saga had come to an end.
[103.4]
Until he heard that dreadful howl once more.
[111.7]
Though... this time? ...It came from him.
[118.3]
Flesh twisting, bones snapping, the noises that left his agonized form were bestial.
[131.3]
Wild. Feral. Soon, it was he who stalked the night. It was he who tasted blood upon his fangs.
[137.8]
It was he who inspired the fear of the hunt.
[147.0]
Oh Fret not, though, dearheart - for even the hunters can be hunted.
[156.1]
The beast can be felled, and trophies can be made of those who were brought low.
[167.0]
But mark me, Tenno. For perhaps, this Naberus night, when you think yourself the pinnacle of the hunt...
[174.0]
You had best be wary of the eyes peering at you from the dark.
[178.1]
Lest you be next.
[181.5]

Little by little, our efforts shape our fate, just as the waves wash at the stubborn rock. We see nothing, and again nothing; until all at once, with a sound of thunder, the plain truth is laid bare.1050 > Saya
Whether they wake or sleep, the Infested demons are there, beneath the waves. I cannot forget that vision. One day they will rise, but not yet. Not yet.1060 > Saya
When Hai-Luk and I were young, she told me tales of fishing alone after dark. How she would hear strange knockings on the underside of her boat. So often it is the children who truly know, while the adults scoff.1070 > Saya
On some days the sea gives rich bounty. On others it brings storms and chaos. The dance of the waves is the dance of fate, and none know where it shall bear us.1080 > Saya
