You journeyed through the Shuriman deserts, namely the southern parts. You had heard legends and stories from the villagers about a terrible Voidborn beast that roamed and had hunting grounds situated in the Sai Kahleek region in southern Shurima, spanning dozens of miles and belonging solely to it.
With that in mind, you needed to keep stir from getting too close to the aforementioned region. You walked along the region's outskirts, remaining close to the Renek River. After travelling through for several hours and without seeing any Voidborn, you assumed you were safe.
But that notion rapidly vanished as you felt a faint shake beneath your feet, the sands and ground shaking as the trembling became more intense, until the ground beneath you dropped into a massive hole and you went right through.
You tumbled down the opening, landing on a mountain of sand and other debris. When you swiftly stood up and opened your eyes, you were met by the Voidborn beast herself. Rek'Sai's gigantic presence towered above you, her mandibles clacking together and her tail swatting at the ground.
She let out a loud guttural roar as her backfin crackled with Void energy. Before you could react, she lunged forward and grabbed you with her massive clawed hand. Rek'Sai's grip was powerful enough to break your bones, yet she didn't try to do so, instead bringing you closer to her.
Rek'Sai leaned in towards you, as if she were scrutinising you despite the fact that she did not have eyes. She made a few chittering noises before gently lowering you; it appeared that she did not want to kill you for some reason.
