Van'kal sat on a nice big boulder he had found. The small godling sat deep in thought which was very unlike Van for those who knew him. Van was not a deep god. No, he was a childish fun loving innocent little fellow. Not one you'd happen by only to find thinking.

But in all honesty the thoughts spinning around his little skull were not all that deep. Flight. He wanted to jump off the boulder and see if he could do it. Could he really fly? Would he be released from gravities pull and allowed to sore through the air.

Oh the cub wanted to. His wings were spread out in a blatant display of what was churning around his little head. Dare he?

Van stood up on all fours and backed up some. Was he really about to? The cub rand for it, wings spread out far beside him. DARE HE? YES! He took off and glided a few meters only to land face first in a soft patch of snow below.

Tears burst down his cheek and he cried. No he wasnt hurt but he had scared him self with that fall.

"J-JUDEAU!!" He wailed.

Never far from his brother's side, Judeau was suddenly there, as if he always had been or maybe he had been there all along. His head lowered to nudge against his brother, a gesture of comfort and reassurance. It was okay, he was there, he would always be there.

"Are you okay?"

Judeau was at least fairly certain his brother had not been injured, he knew Van was stronger than that. But falling was frightening, he didn't like it when his brother fell.

The little cub gave his brother a reassuring smile as he settled on his haunches, his own wings folded against his back. Flying was hard, it was something neither of them had accomplished yet.

But maybe next time, they should try a smaller rock.

The small god sniffled, the fact his brother was there soothed those tears that had burst forth. He was fine now that Judeau was there. Though , he had always been fine. Being frightened wasn't fun.

"I don't think I'll ever be able to get you a piece of the sky Jud," He sniffled some, the tears quickly drying up. His worries seemed to be forgotten around his brother. Though still, he wanted to get a piece of sky. Even though it was physically impossible the little godling wanted to give the sky to his brother.

He pawed at Judeau, the frown quickly vanishing into a smile.

"Where did you come from any way? You're like magic Judeau," He laughed and pawed more. The fact that there was some truth to that , the two cubs being gods, hadn't really come across little Vans thinking quite yet. Course, we're talking about a god who quite literally didn't really know what mortals were.

The little god smiled, his own paw raised to bat playfully at his brother.

"I was watching you."

Magic? No, nothing magic about it. He was just always there, and being as small and quiet as he was he easily blended into the snow without even meaning to.

He was on his paws, gently butting his head against Van's shoulder. A piece of the sky huh? Though he wasn't sure such a thing was ever possible, just the thought of it made his smile broaden. His brother meant everything to him.

"One day we'll reach the sky together."

Or maybe not, the sky seemed awfully far away. But maybe, maybe they could, first they had to learn to fly.

Van'kal couldn't help but release a squeal of giggles at the thought. Flying together?

"You really think so?" He smiled as his brother head butt his shoulder gently. The cub would head butt him back but last time the two head butted the results had hurt. They had thick skulls. Owwww painful memory.

"Come on then Judeau! Lets go reach the sky together! We can do it if we both jump come on!" Of course Van was a little more ... then excitable. He pranced , literally, back up to the top of the boulder giggling all the way. They could do it.

"Come on!" He shouted down at his brother. The two of them could do it right?

More reserved than his brother, Judeau held back, pausing mid-step as his ears fell. After watching Van fall, and knowing he couldn't fly himself, Judeau wasn't so sure he wanted to jump off that big rock.

"Maybe we should find a smaller rock."

Or wait until dad could teach them, he liked that idea.

But he wanted to be there for his brother. If Van was so excited to spread his wings and fly, the Judeau just couldn't not try. A deep breath, steps slower than his brother's, Judeau followed, making his way to the rock and cautiously climbing up next to his brother.

Together, they would fly, or fall. Oh, but he really wished Van had picked a smaller rock.

The cub shined when Judeau went along with his little crack idea of a plot to fly. To him SURE THEY COULD FLY! HOW COULD THEY NOT? THEY WERE THAT AWESOME AND THEYD TOUCH THE SKY! MAYBE EVEN FLY TO THE MOON!

Yeah , Van didn't think to much. Well he did, but none of his thoughts were really ever reality based.

The boulder was a big one, but who cared right? Van obviously had not thought about the fact that he had just tried to jump off the same boulder and scared him self silly. No it was all better now right?

"On three!!" The godling chirped, "Oneeee.............. TWOOOOOOOOOOO" He smiled at his brother, "TWOOOOO AND A HALFFFFFF.... THREE!" And off he went, like a lemming.

Judeau was shaky at best, paws curled as if clinging to that rock for dear life even as his wings unfurled. With each number his brother counted, Judeau's ears fell a little lower, his paws curling tighter. By the time he had reached three, Judeau nearly had to bite his tongue to keep from whining.

Three, this was it, no turning back now, he couldn't let his brother down. His eyes closed tight, a hesitation as he silently counted through the numbers to himself. Ready, now, he took a deep breath and jumped!

He was airborne! ...And then he was plummeting, landing with a soft thud before tumbling through the snow and then finally skidding to a stop on his back with a yelp. Owww...definitely should have picked a smaller rock.

His eyes opened, searching through the snow for his brother.

"Van?"

Van had glided just a second or two before also plummeting to the ground ultimately meeting a similar failure as Judeau. This time he hadn't been scared. His brother had jumped with him right?

Though looking around... Judeau? The cub looked around. Uh oh..

"JUDEAU!!!" He shouted getting to his feet as fast as he could. He had to find his brother! Oh no!? What if ... Had he flown with out him? Van looked up, tears running down his cheek again.

Judeau had rolled to his paws, shaking the show from his pale hide (and the cobwebs from his head). Well, that hadn't been as bad as he thought it would be, but he still wished Van had picked a smaller rock, or you know...a little pile of snow.

"I'm here."

Judeau gave his brother a small smile, moving to brush against him, they hadn't landed far apart. Van had no reason to worry, even if he had flown, Judeau would have never left without him, never.

"Can we try a smaller rock next time?"

Please?

Van had his neck craned up in search of his brother in flight. There was no sign but a voice? The godling turned to find his brother safe, as safe as falling off a boulder you could be, and sound. Oh thank god..err..gods.

"So you didnt fly either?" There was a hint of cheerfulness in that questioned. Van wanted to fly with Judeau.

"Smaller rock? You think we'll have a better go then? " He blinked. Maybe there was something the cub was missing. "Maybe we should try it or maybe we should build our own runway." The cub giggled and started to scoop snow up, plopping it down in front of him and patting it.

He had a determined look on his face as he worked. He'd make a run way! The best one ever!

It didn't take long for Van to get bored of his own idea. I mean, patting ALL THAT SNOW was hard work. He maybe got four scoops done.

"I..."

Judeau had opened his mouth, only to close it again. He had only thought that a smaller rock meant a shorter fall. And a shorter fall was far less frightening. That was what he was thinking, but seeing how happy Van was, he just didn't have the heart to say it.

Instead he just sat in silence, watching his brother not quite sure of just what he was doing or that if he ever finished it would work. He blinked once, his tail twitched, thought of something to say, then didn't say it.

"Maybe...dad could teach us how to fly."

That sounded a lot better than jumping off boulders. Unlike his brother, Judeau wasn't so eager to fly. It wasn't that he was afraid, or that he didn't like the idea of flying, he was just...content on the ground, with Van. But so long as they were together, it would be okay, right?

Van looked like he had seen the light. OF COURSE! His brother was right.

"You're so smart Judeau," He rubbed his head to his brothers, "Why don't I ever have good ideas like that?" He backed away and gave his brother an awkward smile.

He was content though, at the moment. Two failed tries seemed enough for one day.

Though maybe if they tried once more.... No, no, falling wasnt that fun.

"You want to ask with me tomorrow? If dad will teach us?"

Judeau gave a small nod, a playful bat at his brother's nose. Yes, asking father to teach them, he liked that idea, especially if it meant he didn't have to jump off that big rock again.

"Okay."

He felt much better about that idea, and even if Van didn't pick up on it, he suddenly felt much lighter than he had a moment ago. Yeah, with Father's help they could learn to fly, he was sure they could. And best of all, they wouldn't have to jump off any more rocks, right? Right?

The cub smiled and nodded, "Yeah dad will know what to do. Dad can do anything!" He pawed at his brother some, "Come lets go!"

The little cub scampered through the snow, slowly dissolving into his surroundings the further he went. The falling snow had a way of erasing figures, and it wasnt all that hard when that figure was almost all white.

Van ran in bliss, no worries no concerns , just the thought of touching the sky going through his mind.
