The day was warm and sunny as Liora carried Aria through the village. As they approached a quiet clearing near the edge of the forest, Liora decided it was the perfect time to teach her daughter about the unique abilities females possessed.

Sitting on a soft patch of grass, Liora cradled Aria in her lap. The gentle breeze rustled the leaves overhead, creating a soothing backdrop for their conversation."

Aria, my dear," Liora began softly, "I want to tell you something important about our world. Just as males can awaken powerful abilities, females also have unique traits. These abilities may not be as dramatic as the males' powers, but they are just as important and special."

Aria looked up at her mother with wide eyes, clearly fascinated even if she couldn't fully comprehend everything yet.

Liora continued, "For example, mer females can breathe underwater, allowing them to explore the depths of lakes and rivers. Bear, tiger, and lion females are much stronger than the average female, making them formidable protectors. Leopard females are incredibly fast, able to outrun almost anyone."

She smiled down at Aria, who was listening intently. "Panda females have an impressive appetite, allowing them to stay healthy and resilient."

Liora gently stroked Aria's hair as she spoke. "Wolf females have heightened senses. Panther females are masters of stealth and can move silently through any terrain. Eagle females possess incredible vision and can see vast distances with clarity. Peacock females are renowned for their dazzling feathers and can mesmerize others with their beauty. And fox females, like us, are known for our beauty and charm. If we wish, we can attract any male with ease."

She continued, "Every female has a unique ability tied to her species. These abilities are a part of who we are and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of our world."

Aria cooed softly, her tiny hands reaching out to touch Liora's face. Liora smiled, feeling a deep sense of pride and love for her daughter."

One day, you will discover this unique ability , Aria. At that time you would need to control and master this ability you are born with." Liora said, her voice filled with warmth. "And when that day comes, you will understand just how special you truly are."

Liora then added, "This also reminds me I have already told you about the proportions of males and females. However have you noticed that I gave birth to one cub for all my mates. Some females give birth more than once for the same mate.

The more cubs a male has with a female, the more favoured he seems to be. That's why most females tend to give birth the same amount for all mates. However some unlucky males even tend to have no cub of their own. Every female gives birth to one cub at a time. It's rare, but sometimes a female can have twins or even triplets. Each of them is a precious gift, just like you."

...

Later that evening, the family gathered for dinner. The large dining table was set with an array of delicious dishes, and the air was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of roasted meat and freshly baked bread.

Rael, still reveling in the excitement of his recent awakening, was particularly lively. The family settled into their seats, laughter and conversation filling the room.

"This looks wonderful, Ursan" Alaric said, taking a seat at the head of the table. "You've outdone yourself."

Ursan smiled modestly. "It's a team effort," he replied, glancing at his brothers who had helped with the preparations.

As they began to eat, Rael decided it was the perfect time for a little mischief. Using his newfound power to manipulate fire, he subtly caused the flames under the main dish to flicker and nearly extinguish.
