Kacela wandered among the trees in the forest humming to herself  freezing when she spotted a little tiger cub standing staring at her. Hello there. She cooed at the little tiger moving closer and reaching a hand out for him to smell. Rawr, hello.  The tiger said causing Kacela to giggle, and to continue giggling when the tiger licked her hand causing it's raspy tongue to tickle her hand. I'm Kacela, have you seen my twin? Her names Kainda, but I call her Kain. She tells him looking disappointed when he replies in the negative. Thanks anyway I better go find her so our Maman's don't get mad." She tells the little tiger giving him a scratch on the head  before moving on. Not realizing that the little tiger was following her. I, I can't find my mummy. The little tiger cub said mournfully from behind Kacela's back. She turned around and knelt down in front of the little cub holding out her hands so that the cub could curl up in them, which he did quickly. I'll help you find your mummy, and if I don't you can come and live with me. She tells the little cub stroking his fur holding him close. She stood determined to find her twin so that they could look for the tiger's mother together.

Kainda went walking through the forest, knowing she shouldn't have gone alone, her mothers would be worried about and angry at her if they found out. She heard a wild growl in the clearing ahead of her and stopped in her tracts, before slowly moving closer she stopped at the edge of the clearing to see a rather distressed looking mother tiger. At the scent of something new the tiger pounced at her pinning the young goddess. was it you that took my cub, it growled into her face. Kainda whimpered slightly at the ferocity of the animal. No, she thought back. But I can help you find them, she thought back. I am a goddess..of wilderness, please let me try and help, she sighed with relief when the animal let her up. Kainda stood up and opened her mind to the signs of the forest, just as her mothers had taught her. She picked up the barely there footprints of the young tiger cub, this way, she said motioning for the tiger to follow her.

@wildanimal

I hear my sister. She tells the little cub, heading towards the sound and smell of her. Look she has your mummy with her. She lent down and placed the cub on the ground letting the cub go so he could go running to his mummy. "There you are, I was looking for you I was worried you shouldn't do that." She scolds Kainda with a compassionate look, stroking her cheek and checking her over or any damages or injuries. "Don't go looking through the forest alone you could get in trouble, like with the tiger she could have really hurt you if I didn't teach you how to talk to the animals you could be dead."

Kainda grinned at the family and laughed softly, "But you did Kace and I didn't get hurt. Not really", she replied putting up a wall to her powers as she felt her energy drop from her use of them. She stumbled slightly at the energy drain but quickly regained her balance. Listening to the forest and other wild places still took a bit out of her but it was when she felt most right. Her mothers had told her the more she used it the better she would get but had then forbidden her to use her powers without them. "I have to use my powers or I wont get better with them, mama said so", she replied.

"I know, you have to be careful what if I didn't find you? What if you collapsed if Maman's and I didn't know where you where?" She asked with a worried look wrapping an arm around her so she didn't fall over and that she could keep her upright. "At least you could take me with you, I don't like the panic that happened when I found you gone." She scolded her gently trying to not sound over protective and mean. She watched as the tigers walking away happily, she was so glad that they had found each other and that she had found her twin.

"It's not as though I am going to get lost", Kainda replied with a pout. She hated being treated by a baby, a lot of the hunters weren't much older then she was. She pulled away from her sister, determined to stay upright herself so as not give them anymore reason. She had to practice with her powers so she could become strong with them and wished they understood. The forest called to her as it was the root of her power. "I can look after myself though. Lots of hunters where already on there own by our age", she replied. "I can be strong like them."

Kacela understood where Kainda was coming from but she couldn't help but worry being the older of the two she felt it was her responsibility to look after her and keep her safe like her mothers had told her too. "I know you can be strong and so do mama and mummy but they don't want us to have to be strong, they want to protect us and we should let them protect us cause that way they feel useful and we are their first biological children so they want to spoil us a little bit." She tells her after thinking over what to say hoping that Kainda didn't get mad over what she had said.
