 Ha! His mother had boasted about being omniscent and always knowing when him and his siblings wandered off. But Ukulwa could bet that she probably didn't expect him to sneak off while she was taking a nap! He felt so proud of himself, for having the cunning like his father to think of such a grand plan. His sisters couldn't have possibly come up with anything so clever. Silly females!
The red cub snorted and walked proudly with his head and tail curled up over his back. His chains clanked together noisily as he paraded himself through the snowy desert that was the god's haven. He wondered vaguely why his mother kept him and his sisters up and hidden from the mortal realm, and he awaited the day that he could reveal himself to the lowly mortals.
"They must not be worthy of us if mom keeps us away from them," he thought absently, not aware that he was talking to himself. He often did that, and never realized it. "One day though.. I'll show them my greatness." He bared his teeth in a not-so-friendly smile, and the spikes on his tail flexed slowly as his claws dug into the soft ground. He would show them his true power, his strength and cunning just like his father had. The mortals wouldn't know what to do with themselves. Surely they would bow down and worship him. They must!
Yet, it was only a little cub fantasy, and he was left wandering the silent and empty spaces of the god haven, looking for trouble.

 Tawaret was already waiting for him to come out of the den. Their all-knowing mother was napping, which meant it was the perfect time for her not-so-sneaky brother to slip off to do whatever it was he was planning on doing.
She hid behind a large boulder, dark colors blending into the shadows as her keen blue eyes watched Ukulwa prance and puff out his chest.
Her boulder was on a little bit of a hill, and she looked down upon him (literally and figuratively, she admitted). From the safety of her hiding spot, she could hear her brother talking to himself and she resisted the urge to giggle. It would give her away, after all.
Tawa brushed her braid over her shoulder and crouched more, closer to the ground. Unfortunately, her sudden shift in weight caused a small amount of snow to scoot and fall off the edge of the hill, tumbling towards the very person she did not wish to notice her.
She inwardly hissed, glared at the snow, and doubled back to try and hide herself completely behind the boulder.

Ukulwa continued to ramble on to himself about his own pride and greatness, and how he would be just as powerful as his father. Yet then there came a sound that broke him from his concentration, and sent him whirling around with fur raised and amber eyes blazing. Who dared to have followed him?!
In his anger he noticed the displaced snow and the paw prints which told of a retreat. He smirked, tail lashing.
"Show yourself!" he called, wings spreading out in order to make himself appear larger. He didn't know what it was he was going up against, but he figured it couldn't be anything too horrible. His mother had chosen this area, after all, so it wouldn't contain any dangerous creature. Right? But no matter! He was brave like his father, and he wasn't afraid of anything!
"Don't be a coward," he called again, slowly edging himself sideways in an attempt to see whoever it was that had stalked him. He would get them back for sneaking upon him!

Tawa slowly peeked around the other side of the boulder, seeing that her brother had spread his wings to try and look bigger. She grinned. That would not save him!
Slowly, her paws formed a ball with the snow at her feet. From her position, at this end of the rock, she had the perfect angle to cool him off and show him that she was neither a coward nor afraid of him.
The goddess cub packed in the ball of snow as tight as she could, then placed it on her tail. She tilted her tail back, aimed, and then fired, throwing her appendage with full force towards her brother, and the snow flew.
It was a beautiful sight.

Ukulwa had to admit that he was a little surprised when his sister's head peered around from the other side of the boulder. He had expected some fierce creature or perhaps another god cub that would have been intrigued by his excellence. But, alas, it was only his sister. His wings ruffled before settling against his side, his ears flicking irritably. He didn't have time for silly antics with his siblings. He was on a mission to be just as powerful as his father. Tawa wouldn't understand.
"Go back to mum," he called, the tone of his voice indicating that he thought she should be cuddled up in the safety of Koya's watch. "This is a male's work, not fit for little dawdling females." He loved his family, he really did, but he had to keep his sense of masculinity! How would it look if he had little girls following him everywhere? Not very frightening, to say the least.
Unaware of what his sister was doing with her tail, he continued on: "If you get back before mom wakes up, I won't tell her what you did. Of course--"
His words fell short as the world suddenly blacked out with an emanating chill. It was then that the red cub felt humiliated, and infuriated, all at once. If his fur wasn't red already, it certainly would have come ablaze with the heatedness of his emotions. Grumbling could be heard under the snow as his armored paws rose to scrape the snow from his face. When most of it was gone, with some remains in his head tuft and stuck in between his chain links, the cub's amber eyes bore into vigilantes.
"You'll pay for that!" he growled, before launching himself at her.
