"Who are you?!" Kaya hissed, showing her fangs as she lowered herself down.

She placed her right hand on the ground, burying her tiny claws into the ground.

Even a failure like her could use the bestial jump, an ability that saved her life and dignity many times in the past.

"You need not fear me," a calm, deep voice appeared in front of the girl, but also from all the direction's around her. "You need to fear what will happen if you do not listen to me, though."

"Is this a threat?" Kaya uttered through her teeth, tensing up the muscles in her things and burying her right hand into the ground even deeper.

For her bestial jump to work its magic, she required not only a stable foothold but also good support for her hands. Ultimately, her prized skill wasn't even a skill but an evolutional advantage that her race developed.
