The First Step (Male! Raya x Reader)

Chapter 8: Running on Raindrops

You looked behind, watching the Spine land far away as Sisu swam to push the boat far away from the land. Suddenly, a shrimp threw at Ram and he winced. "Did you just hit me with a shrimp tail?" 

You turned to see everyone was very angry at you and Ram as the ongi gave Noi another shrimp tail. "When were you guys gonna tell us she was Sisu?!"

"Well, technically, you always knew she was Sisu." He inclined the reason before he got hit by the shrimp tail again. "Seriously?" You watched Sisu sit on your right side as you were now sitting between Ram and her.

"Why are you here, divine water dragon?" Tong asked. 

"Isn't that obvious, big guy? My kids, Ram, (Y/N) and I are gonna fix the world. Bring everyone back." Sisu said as she pushed her tail to Ram, pushing both of you to her.

"You're gonna bring everyone back? I wanna help." Boun said. 

"I'm sorry, we can't let you do that. It's too dangerous."

"You both are not the only ones who lost family to the Druun." His words made you frown sadly as they reminded you both of your fathers. "Please. Let me help you." Boun kneeled down as he saluted. You then saw Noi and the ongis did the same thing as Boun. 

You noticed the shining light as you turned to see Tong holding the Spine's gem in his hands. "I too wish to join this fellowship of Druun butt-kickery!"

You smiled at Ram and Sisu, Tong placed the gem down on Sisu's hands as suddenly the rain came down from the sky. "My big brother Pengu's magic." You reached your hand out to touch the raindrop as you smiled happily. You turned to Sisu who reached her paw up and the raindrops stopped and formed into one.

You nudged Ram's arm to look. Ram turned to see as Sisu created the platform from the raindrop before she ran off to the sky. You all watched her running in the raindrop gracefully as you touched the platform she has run off to. Tuk Tuk reached his tongue out to taste the raindrop, Noi happily touched the rain before Tong lifted her up with his hands to make her enjoy more.

You watched Sisu fly up as she felt the warmth of the sunlight touch her skin. She closed her eyes before she let herself drip down on the river, Ram quickly pulled you behind Tong's back as the water splashed on him. You looked at him as he laughed with a grin. You looked at Ram who has a genuine smile on his face made you also had a smile on your face.

"All right, Captain Boun. To Fang." Ram said as he grabbed your hand and pulled you with him.

"You got it!" Boun replied as he led the boat and the rest to Fang, the last place that held the gem piece.

As you all near the Fang, Ram told you he was going to have a plan and he wanted you to listen. You sat beside him as he unrolled the map and explained his plan. "All right, everyone here's the plan. The last gem piece is in Fang, the most heavily guarded of the five lands. Now, they're protected by an artificial canal that separates them from the rest of the world. The only way in or out is by water. Luckily for us, we have a magic water dragon. Now, the palace will be swarming with Fang soldiers. To sneak past them, we'll need to—"

"I got this, guys. I'll take care of the first wave. Tong will follow up with his giant ax of bad-axery. And then come the ongis and that crazy con-baby... who will toss the gem to the Mighty Sisudatu. And then, bye-bye, binturis!" Boun mimicked the sound as he told you the plan. "Super flow plan, am I right?"

You frowned as you kind of disagreed with him. "Uh, no. Yeah, that's not flow. That's a clog." Ram commented. 

"I agree. Here's my plan." Sisu then explained her plan. "We infiltrate Fang, confront Nakai, and offer him something nice and go... "Hey! Wanna help us save the world? Because all it takes is one gem piece." "Yes! I've been waiting for someone to ask me! Here you go!" Best friends forever!" 

Everyone's eyes except yours widened at her ridiculous plan, which even made Ram change his mind. "Yeah, I think I'd rather go with Boun's plan."

"What?" Sisu breathed out while Boun fist-pumped in the air. 

"Yes!"

"What, why?"

"Because it's Fang." Ram answered before everyone else except you agreed with him. 

"Their blades are specially designed for the stabbing of backs." Tong commented as Boun also said. 

"If it weren't for them, none of this would have happened. They're the worst." 

Noi made a squealing voice of disgust as an answer.

"If we're just honest with him, deep down, I got a feeling he wants to fix the world as much as we do." Sisu stated. 

"You weren't there when Nakai betrayed me and (Y/N)."

"But I agree with her, guys." Your answer made Ram more shocked as he turned sharply to you. "You remember what he said about his land? I think he just wants the best for his land as we do. That is why he betrayed us."

"No, (Y/N). We're sticking with my plan. And that's final." Ram stood up as you slightly pouted. Sisu frowned as she made the rain fall down heavily. "Whoa. Uh... What's with the downpour?"

"(Y/N). Get on my back." You went shocked for a while before you reluctantly climbed on her back. "Come on! I need to show you guys something." Sisu grabbed Ram as she ran in the air, leaving the rest behind.

"So, what do we do now?" Boun questioned as he watched Sisu carry both of you away. 

"I don't know." Tong shrugged his shoulders as he watched Sisu leave.
