You pull yourself up the round trunk of the giant redwood tree. You grumble to yourself; all of this climbing is really doing a number on your arms. But, try as you might, neither pixie is about to let you give up and slide back to the bottom. They assure you that this will be worth your trip. You sigh and continue up the tree.
After long minutes of climbing, your heart catching in your throat at the realization of how high up you are, Kalika points to a large treehouse-like structure perched near the top of the tree. Sighing in relief, you scramble up the branches and pull yourself up to the dwelling. You fall on the platform supporting the building, panting from exhaustion.
'Well now, you humans have no endurance,' Kalika teases you. You glare at the small blue woman, who promptly sticks her tongue out at you. Rikale sighs loudly in irritation.
'Stop, you two. By the gods, you act like children!' Kalika smirks and winks at you. You groan and pull yourself to your feet.
'This,' Rikale tells you, 'is the home of a Luna Panther. They are very rare creatures, and quite shy. But, they are absolutely beautiful. This trip will not be wasted.' You approach the doorway and stop suddenly, seeing a small basket in front. You kneel down to get a closer look, and see a tiny gold kitten within.
'This is Lysithea,' Rikale tells you. 'She just recently hatched, so she is now a Luna panther kitten!' Rikale grins gleefully. You stare at the small, fuzzy kitten. She looks up at you with luminous black eyes and mews softly. You giggle and obligingly begin to pet golden kitten.
After several minutes, Kalika decides you have had enough. She pokes you quite hard in the side and says, 'Alright, time to head back down.' You protest, but the pixie insists, so you give Lysithea one last pat and prepare to climb down.
