 The sun was shining, the birds were singing, Kinang had successfully snuck off to see Kuiba and returned to her sister's side without Pinakip noticing. Pina was finally finished with the meerkats, apparently, and had been talking about some striped hyena she had met and the importance of stripes. There was nothing to indicate that this would not, in fact, be the best of days.

 Pinakip was wondering where Kinang wandered off to but decided it would be ridiculous to go look for her and miss her in transition. So she waited patiently for her to return to their particular shade tree. It was irritating how much time she spent wondering where in Father's earth her sister would wander off to.
Most of the time she pretended not to notice when her sibling went off "sneaky" like. Even Pinakip wanted alone time sometimes when Kinang's unbelief was too much to bear, or her company was breeding contempt with so much familiarity. But the amount of times lately that she'd been disappearing was ridiculous even for her.

Kaakit-akit was home. Well, he wasn't home home, for that was a place that mere mortals could never touch, but he was home in the sense that this place was where his disciples and followers were bound to by earthly means. Really, Kaa was just 'checking in' and making sure that his daughters were doing what they were supposed to. If they hadn't been, he would have to punish them.

When Kinang returned, Pinakip was still just where she left her, much to her relief.
"Hello, Pina, what are we doing today?" Hopefully it was something like finding food or a place to actually settle down, but it could be something like trying to convert a crocodile. The time Pina had tried to convert a hippopotamus had not ended well.
"Wait . . .do you hear something?" It sounded like someone else coming towards the little tree they had been sleeping under. It sounded like a hyena - and Kinang knew that it wouldn't be Kuiba. They always met far away from the other's family."

"Hello Kinang, where have you-" She was cut off by the sound of another creature coming steadily closer to their tree. Pinakip stood up next to her sister and listened alertly. Sure enough there was someone coming. She hoped it might be someone with questions about their father.
Unfortunately it was probably some rogue male come to make fun of them for their belief. It was so hard sometimes remaining true to the faith. It sounded about right for that to be the case, if they were lighter on their paws, Pinakip would think that they were other creatures she had reached with her powerful words and probably had questions.

Kaa let out a sharp cackle, the sound snapping off of the glass ball he carried around by the thin silver thread that ran through it. Those pale blue eyes of his were ever watchful. His step was full of purpose as he gracefully moved forward.
"My children," he wailed mournfully, dramatically. "My BLESSED daughters, my prodigy, my disciples!"
He set the purple-blue globe down next to his feet. It glittered dully in the high sunshine. "I have returned, my children!"

Kinang looked up sharply as the purple hyena approached them, wailing around the thread clamped in his mouth. What was he going on about?
"Did you just call us your children?" Kinang said, shocked.
Obviously, this hyena was just crazy. For one thing, he looked nothing like either of them. Ok, fair enough, Kinang and Pina had both gotten their coloring from their mother, and Pina got her stripes from an uncle or something, so they did not really know what their dad looked like. But he didn't know what they looked like either. So this just couldn't be their dad.
Kinang never wanted to meet her dad. So this just couldn't be him.

Pinakip's jaw dropped open in utter surprise. This was their father? This had to be the very best day of her entire life. There wasn't even the faintest of considerations in her mind that this male could be faking it. No one would impersonate her father. It was a fact like the sky was blue, grass green, and wildebeest delicious.
"F-Father?" She stuttered from joy and surprise. Had she finally earned a visit? Her eyes sparkled with joy and fulfilled belief.

Well, he was pretty sure they were his. He could have sworn... They did look a lot like the female he had... Kaa frowned.
It was too late now.
"Of course you are my children. Do you think a God - I am talking about ME - would forget his own daughters?!" Their names, what were their names? One of them started with a P, the other with a ... ahh, well, it didn't matter, he supposed.
The cream and brown beauty obviously knew what he was talking about. He would start with her.
"Have you been fulfilling your duties, my child?"

Kinang looked between her sister, who was in raptures of excitement, and the purple male claiming to be their father. This could not be happening; she had just convinced Pinakip that they ought to find a place to settle down - with normal SANE hyenas who did things like eat and scavenge and raise pups and be in love with handsome males and NOT go around converting or attempting to convert anything that could move voluntarily to a religion centered around worshiping a no-accound, cub abandoning nutter and/or conman!
She gave a small groan, and hid her eyes under her paws. Maybe if she didn't look at him, he would go away. Or just stop existing.

"Of course I have Father, just the other day I inducted a cheetah into your worship." She nodded vigorously, "It was a glorious day for your purpose. I have preached your majesty to everyone... Kinang has been most helpful." She smudged the truth a little bit. Sure she'd been helpful, but only in finding food, not with the expansion of Father's kingdom. "Father, can... can we have your name? It would help further the spread of your devotion."

Kaa beamed at Pinakip, his daughter. Well, she was probably his daughter, but it really didn't matter because she was so glorious and devoted to him! "I am Kaakit-akit, your father!! And you are my beautiful daughters!"
"You bring me great glory and honor!" He was hungry, did she bring him food, too? It would be tactless to ask, but Kaa really wasn't the most.. completely sane fellow.
He glanced at his other daughter, the bright one. "And you? How do you honor your father?" His gaze was beseeching, and he licked his chops hopefully. "Perhaps with food?"

Kinang spluttered for a minute at this . . . charlatan's cheek, but glanced at Pinakip and knew she was already convinced. For now, at least, Kinang would have to play along.
She slunk off toward the half eaten gazelle carcass she had spotted on her way back from visiting Kuiba - and had been expecting to feed both her and her sister. She would just have to drag it back there and hopefully there would be enough meat for three.

Pinakip couldn't believe how silent her sister was being. Maybe if she continued in this vein of submissive behavior their father wouldn't punish her for being a heathen. It was one thing to know it, as he likely did, and another to be doubted to one's face.
She was ever so pleased that He told her that she was beautiful and that she brought him great glory and honor. It was all she'd ever really wanted. "Thank you Father, I am... blown away by your praise." If hyenas blushed, she'd be bright red. Instead her tail gave a few excited waves.
