After the light of whatever had been caste faded Indigo saw a real village next to high misty mountains. Unlike the ones from earth this settlement had the average home layout but was built from weak materials such as decaying wood for walls, thin strips of grass served as a roof and the floor was covered in mostly moss that looked rather uncomfortable to the average human eye. The village seemed to be in the middle of a dense forest filled with tall trees and teaming with wild life.
"So this is my home huh? Could've been worse but I am grateful" Indigo thought as she looked around as she saw more bestkin around her. Some dogs, some cats, some even looked like lizards all living in harmony and peace with each other.
After a bit of walking Indigo's parents reached thier home with her in their hands, the house was just like most homes in the settlement. They set Indigo in a decent caratal and left to prepare food for themselves.
While they were doing that Indigo fell asleep, she was pleasingly surprised at how comfortable the caratal was and how easy it was for her to sleep.
The next few years came and went quickly during that time Indigo was named Kaida by a dragon that protects the village.
She met the village chef who was a tolder sized mouse with an elephants brain power as he skilfully commanded the distribution of goods collected by the hunting parties sent out to gather food for the village he was just called elder as he was cursed by a God of mischief to not gain a true or normal name by anymeans. Kaida descoverd her dad, all be it skinny, was a pretty good hunter and he had strength unfit for his body type as he could easily lift a log that looked like it weighed a ton for hours on end, this was because he was blessed by the greater demi God of strength Kratos his name was Mikhail.
Kaida descovrd that her mother had a role fitting her kind and caring nature she was one of the village healers and one of the best farmers the village has(which were pretty rare in rabbit bestmen) her name was Liora and she was blessed by the greater demigod of health and Agriculture Aella . She and her husband work day and night while still finding time to at with Kaida, which made her happy. Around the time she was about to turn one the village underwent a dramatic change overnight, the village was absorbed by a nation of beastkin and thier ruler helped develop the village living standers. In a matter of a few days the village became a town with its very own economic standing and market while keeping its size relatively the same. The development brought better living conditions, they were now better houses being made of concrete and having a magical glass like roof which absorbed sunlight during the day while letting the sun in and releasing the light stored into the house in a gentle stream of light at night, and the road (paths) being paved and all sanitation went through the roof in terms of quality.
The celebration of the new town was coincidentally the same day as Kadia's birthday so the party was bigger as everyone who was originally from the village knew the family and were willing to bring presents to them even though they had a ridiculously large party on the side.
During the party a couple of 'system messages' as it has been known as by Kaida some were from the gods wishing her a happy birthday and gifting her ether a piece of clothing or information about where she is and how the new world works. She learnt that 1 the beastkin are a small number of demihumans that are usually favorable to the demigods, 2 she the only mix of a cat demi human and rabbit demi human, 3 they are different classes of gods and demigods (view authors note to see) and she is blessed by superior gods and she is a subordinate of superior gods (chapter 1&2). Along side all this info she also gained some skills.
*Age Milestone reached. Conditions have been meet, congratulations you have gained minor control over earth and water as part of the blessing of the greater Goddess of nature Freya. In addition you have gaid improved visibility in the night as part of the blessing of the greater Goddess of the hunt Artemis. You have gained better physical abilities due to the head pat of the superior God Sun Wukong, you can now learn to walk and run with slightly above average speed and stamina as well as physical strength.*
"For a first birthday this is alot. (Long sigh) at least now I can learn to walk and I know the difference between Gods and now I can speak I think." Kadia thought as she attempted to speak.
"Ma...mam....Mamma, da...dad....Dada." a cute, soft voice spoke up in the middle of the party causing the crowd to grow silent as as Kadia blinked and spoke addressing her parents who were crying tears of joy at thier child gaining the ability to speak. Her body now more developed as you can see her oakwood colored skin her hair was a blend on black and dark Indigo with a glosy finish, her cute face was adorend with 2 eyes one a deep sea blue and the other a light crimson red. Her head had a pair of large bunny ears for her head.
"Thats it honey I'm mamma and thats Dada. (Sob) I'm so happy my child can finally speak." Liora said as tears streamed down her face hugging Kaida with love.
Mikhail would have also joined in the speaking if his mouth wasn't full of meat and vegetables so he just cried alongside his wife.
The next 9 years were a blur. Liora found out her daughter could use water magic due to an incident when Kaida made a pudle of water flot above her and trun into little mermaids dancing in the sea while they were tending to her personal garden. She was shocked but imbraced her child who was just saying "The water moves, mamma" with a wide smile on her face. Around when she was 5 she was walking with her dad in the safe part of the forest trying to move the earth which she found a whole lot harder but still managed to move a few peebles around. "The earth moves papa" Kaida said loozing at her father with her mismatched eyes with expectations of a good answer. "Yes, little one, the earth is alive. It moves with every step we take. Perhaps one day you'll understand how deeply connected we are to it" he said not knowing that his daughter had a deep connection with earth already.
The coming of age for bestkin is 15. Kaida has reached the age of ten and is eligible for going on a hunt with her father which she happily wanted to.
Somewhere in the deep forest a giant hole had been dug and 2 ruby red eyes shown in the darkness.
