You continue walking through what you have started calling to yourself Feline Forest. The forest is quiet; not surprisingly, no birds seem to be in this area. But then again, you think that if you were a bird, this would not be a place you would like to live. Up ahead you see another group of trees larger than the others. At the base of a giant oak tree is a strange, squirrel-like creature. It cocks its head and observes you.
Kalika puts her fingers to her lips and lets out an ear-splitting whistle. The small animal's ears prick forward, and it trots up to you. It then sits down and watches you closely.
'Good girl, Kali,' Rikale tells the animal. She flies over to her and strokes her head. Kali rubs against the pixie's tiny hand. 'Kali is a ginnal,' Rikale tells you. 'They are rodent-like creatures with the intelligence level of, oh, a flit. As you can see, they are roughly the size of a chipmunk, but their tails are not as wide. Forests are their only natural habitats.'
You stroke the small ginnal's head. It rolls onto its back, allowing you to rub its crimson stomach. You smile and play with Kali, letting her chase the leaves around you. Kali starts at the rather enthusiastic roaring of a fellow resident. She runs and hides on northern side of the huge oak tree's trunk. You stand and stretch.
'So, where to?'
Ginnals can be adopted from Gavania
