Yufa pushed her legs forward, her muscles harder, and her breathing faster. She wanted so desperately to get there on time. She had to be there by the time the sun was at it's highest point in the sky, or else everyone would leave her behind. And she couldn't have that happen. She dug her claws deep into the soil and flung herself forward.
As she landed, she realized that it wasn't ground. Something furry was below her and by the time she realized this, it was too late. She plowed the poor creature over. Her face planted hard in the dirt and her back end went over her head. Whatever she'd tackled had done pretty much the same thing. She jumped to her feet, shaking her head, tails puffed out in alarm
"Sorry 'bout that!" she cried, taking a good look at the flattened creature. It lifted it's head and gazed in her direction, eyes clouded in confusion. It was a hydrokuhna. They were made completely out of water. Well, this one was now dirt covered. Yufa helped the startled creature up and made sure it was okay.

Tezza sighed, trotting along the open field. She could smell her brother's scent very easily from here. She sighed in annoyance. He was always like this. Running off, worrying his sister. He said he'd go find her a caribou, but she hadn't taken him seriously until he had been gone for a good day. At that point she'd gotten worried.
She'd left their home in search for her brother and found that following his trail was quite easy. When she found that it led strait to a long set of tunnels, she sighed in frustration. He'd probably gotten lost or something. But she followed his trail for the next day or so and found that it led outside again. When she popped her head out, she was shocked. There were no more mountains!
She had pulled herself out only to be knocked over by something heavy.
"Hey!" she cried out as she hit the ground. The creature scrambled to it's feet and glanced in her direction, a worried look crossing it's now dirty face.
"Sorry 'bout that!" it said, dashing over to help Tezza up. This other creature was female. She also couldn't identify the species other than the fact that it was some sort of kuhna like herself. She glared at the other kuhna, expecting more to come from it's mouth, but nothing followed. So instead, she took the opportunity to ask about her brother.
"Have you seen a Kuhna around here? Looks a lot like me, male, probably has tens of thousands of scratches all over?"The other kuhna tilted her head.
"No...but I'm headed towards a meeting for other kuhnas...maybe he's there. Why don't you come with me?" the other kuhna said. I nodded and followed her.
