The rustling of grass, heavy breathing from two tiny bodies as they raced through the forest. One burnt reds and faint violets, the other pale white and gentle blues.
"It's not my fault you're too small, Kali! Sister is tending to the forest today! I told you we couldn't miss it this time!" "Well you wanted to wait until Mother was asleep to go! I told you it was a bad idea, Janus!" The two kits barreled through brush and twigs, unable to keep the tiny grins off their faces even through their bickering. Normally they would have been asleep at this time of night, but their Mother had enforced the rule less and less. As long as they did not leave the forest, she did not mind them roaming. They were safe here.
So they made liberal use of this new freedom. They skidded to a halt, their eyes wide as they stared at the back of their sister-figure. The off-color Gardevoir who seemed to be doing nothing for a time. They were too young to feel the heartbeat of the forest as Kreilanna did. Attuned to differing forces as they were. Eventually, Kreilanna moved, the forest seeming to echo with a faint glow of her power. Plant life thrived, beat with an echo that only the Guardian of Life could feel. Winter was approaching soon, and she needed to safeguard it against the coming frosts. Ensure the forest would re-awaken after the snow had melted into Spring.
She had noticed them, but she didn't speak yet. Not until her aura faded and her hair settled down from the ethereal wind that had picked at it strand by strand. The Gardevoir turned to both kits, who were wide eyed and had fur sticking out at all ends from their awe. A smile tugged as her lips, and she sighed softly. "...I shouldn't be surprised you two chose to stay awake. Good evening. Janus, Kali."
"Hello Big Sister!" the two chorused, curled tails flicking with matching grins on their faces.
