Wa has suffered a great tragedy. 

The Babies have aged to Toddlerhood, but not all made it. At first One of the twins went missing just poof and disappeared from their lives. Not longer after this disappearance the other twin died after aging up. Assessing their fears surrounding the death and disappearance of their 2nd set of children by a person Wa can’t remember meeting, Wa and G’Ra decide they need greater shelter for them and each of their toddlers. 

The bush covered cradles weren’t enough. There were too many openings in the valley. Those terrain gaps were perfect for curious wandering toddlers to slip in and out of unnoticed. With some skill in gardening and land manipulation, Wa and G’Ra build a stone wall barrier to close blind spots in the valley. 

Surprisingly there is a side effect from their land manipulation efforts. As they built the wall moving earth and stone, a ditch was formed on the side of the natural hills near where the toddlers rested their bodies throughout the day.

Over time this ditch began to fill with water that fell from the sky.  This reservoir then provided the added benefit of water they did not have to travel far to gather any longer. 

New life forms sprang up in the water as well. This unintended pond offered Wa, G’Ra and the toddlers a source of clean water for bathing and drinking along with Fun activities they desperately needed, like playing in the water, seeking frogs and sticky clay they could mold into useful objects and imaginative toys.

The pond also helped to build G’Ra’s Angling Skills. They no longer needed to leave the valley all day to go fishing and water gathering. They were able to help look after the toddlers and seek needed materials to help the crops grow and make body coverings for them all.

Groggy and disoriented, Wa and G’Ra awoke to find a hand full of mysteries on their hand. G’Ra realized Wa’s mid section had been getting larger, they’d chalked it up to Wa over eating wild berries while out gathering food for them both. G’Ra hadn’t made a fuss about it know their fishing wasn’t producing much for them to eat let alone share. G’Ra was grateful for what ever Wa shared including their warmth at night. Thus, G’Ra  figured their share of food was equal to their pull around the valley not an equal split of what Wa found while foraging. 

Not bringing food into the group, G’Ra focused their free time on researching the crops learning from Wa’s mysterious wisdom. They also made coverings with found objects and built useful items in order to earn a share of Wa’s food haul each day. 

G’Ra’s efforts were slow yet steady as the two were gaining each other’s trust. Their connection grew just as the crops were taking root, sprouting leaves and just beginning to bear fruit.
