 He was still so small, toddling around on his new, short and stubby legs in the sand. His tiny wings - fragile looking and equally as stubby - flailed with each small step that he took across the golden expanse.
Khaldun didn't know where he was heading, all he knew was that he wanted to get there as quickly as his little feet could take him. And...really...that wasn't fast enough. He needed to be out and away before his mother woke up and spotted him. The last thing he wanted was to be bundled back into the den and made to sit still as she braided his hair. He didn't like so much fussing around him and he certainly didn't enjoy his sister's teasing!
~We know where you are, Khal-Khal~
His mother's voice reached him, interrupting his thoughts of escape. That was one annoying thing about her power. Even screaming out loud or covering his ears wouldn't block it out. It'd be as clear as his own thoughts, but there was nothing he could do to pretend it.
The little cub faltered and glanced back towards the den. Even from here he could see where the sun caught at her mis-matched, smiling eyes and he gave a gruff sigh and sat heavily in the sand.
"No faiirrr." He whined, his head, wings and ears drooping in dismay at his failed escape plan.

 "WAAAAA! WATCH OUT!"
The cry sounded as if it came from far away, though it was getting louder and louder as the creature presumably got closer and closer. A few moments later a pale shape came rolling straight towards Khalden, presumably having picked up speed from the hill in the distance. Enzo wasn't the brightest tool in the box - he hadn't really thought about stopping.

His moping was short-lived, however, as the distant sound of...something...or someone...approached him, getting louder and louder until he was forced to get onto his paws and turn to see what it was.
He turned just in time to see another cub come hurtling towards him.
Khaldun's eyes widened in shock and surprise at seeing a little lion move so fast! How had he managed it? It looked like it was sort of dangerous and how exactly was he going to stop?
And then he realised he was in the other's path and, by the time he had realised this, it was too late.
The body of the other cub collided with him and little Khaldun was thrown head over heels in the sand, coughing and reeling in shock and blinking the sand from his eyes. And, all too familiar came the frustration that so often welled up inside of him. His little paws waved to try and find the ground again, but already he was trying to talk past his coughing.
"What're you doingggg? You hit me!!"

Enzo, who's body was rolled up into a ball, splatted on the ground with all limbs splayed in different directions, giving a soft groan. That...had hurt. He hadn't thought anyone lived out here, so he'd thought it would be safe...ish. But clearly he'd been wrong.
"Owwwwwww," Enzo whined as he pushed himself to his feet, gingerly stretching out each imb to make sure it wasn't broken or anything. Happy that he hadn't broken anything, the pale cub then turned to Khalden with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, honest, I was just....omgoshyouhavewings!"
Enzo gave a hapy hop, rushing forwards to examine the wings more closely.

His grumpy little face - covered in sand - turned towards the other. For a moment he was light-headed and dizzy and he brought a paw up to stop the sensation that was making him feel rather unwell.
He huffed at the other one's apology and was about to tell him that he should have thought about that first when suddenly the other was rushing forwards and he bounced back a step, fur frizzing.
"Wings? Oh. Yes." He lifted them very gently. "You...don't have them. Thought only my sister didn't have them. My parents do."

...Oh, right. His mother had told him about this. You don't rush up to other people and jump about all excited, 'cause it scared them and wasn't very nice. "No...mortals don't have wings." Enzo had been educated by his mother about his his father was a God, but he was a mortal. Although, he'd been getting these weird vision things - they were mostly in dreams, though. Just little snippets of stuff that then actually happened, like he could see the future...it was quite cool.
"So you must be a God, right? That's so cool! What do you like...have power over?"
