OERU NI'EYNG!

The Nìwan Clan is back!
But it'll be slow updates( sorry )
I do have a few ideas for this book though. So...

Now on with the story

<~~~>

Tsireya POV:

I showed Payìva around I liked her she was kind
" what do you wanna learn first? " I asked her " what is there to learn? " she asked " let's started with this it is finger talk we do this under water to communicate. " I said doing the basics " you learn quickly. " I said she giggled " follow me. " I said going to the water she watched them followed.

I made a noise to call my Ilu she came " this is an Ilu. You need one if you live here. " I said " she is just like a Lenrra. They are our creatures friend of the sea each must show you can bond with one before the clan can expect you in. " she said I smiled at her.

Later we went swimming you are Quick! I signed to her so are you... she replied back I smiled then spin around we went to the bottom I found a beautiful shell I gesture towards her telling her to come it is beautiful. She signed I smiled nodding I went back up to the surface she watched then followed after me we got on a large rock " do you like it here? " I asked her.

" I love it. This place is beautiful. " She said we went back to shore " Tsireya! " my brother called behind us we turned " fa- who are you? " he asked " this is the girl they found with Neteyam. They said she helped him. I was showing her around and the basics of living here. " I said " I am Payìva... " Payìva said looking at him he stared at her " Aonung... " he said
" come father needs you. " he said I followed him.

Payìva POV:

I watched Tsireya and Aonung leave I turned to the ocean seeing fire but then it was gone I looked around seeing flames it was like flickering in between flames and normal I got worried holding my head " Payìva? " I heard I turned seeing Neteyam
walking towards me with Lo'ak behind him looking at me confused " you ok? " Neteyam asked I looked around seeing no flames I looked up into his eyes I whispered to him he looked at me worried " Lo'ak. I'll catch up with you later ok? Change in plans... " he said Lo'ak looked at me concern then left.

We sat on the nets where no one were " this time it was a vision. " I said to him " you saw flames? " he said nervous I looked at him " are you alright Neteyam? " I asked " yeah. Its just I had a nightmare... when you saw something and blacked out...? The Nightmare it was so like... real. There were flames. Ev-Everywhere... people... dead.
And... " he said looking at me then turned up looking towards the sky " it was just.... " he said " horrible. " we both said he turned to me then nodded.

" do you... still hear her? The voice? " he asked " not since we came here. " I said he turned " it is getting late. We should go... " he said standing up extending his hand to me I took it we walked together back to our Meuia's I went in mine and went to sleep.

Neteyam:

I walked in our Meuia after Payìva went in hers I saw Lo'ak turned staring at the wall for some reason
" what are you doing? " I asked him " nothing. Don't worry about it. What were you guys talking about? " he asked " none of your business little brother! " I said walking next to him laying down turning my back to him " hmph. Rude. You know I'm gonna find out! " he said " yeah whatever. " I said I thought about the flames later I couldn't fall asleep I turned towards my family seeing all of them asleep I went outside walking along the rocks on the water I stopped watching Swotulu fly around screeching.

I smiled then I felt a hand on my mouth I turned around seeing Lo'ak " what are you doing? " I whispered freaked out backing away from him
" agh... couldn't sleep... got bored. " he said " you? " he asked " trouble sleeping and don't do that again you almost gave me a heart attack! " I said I looking at the ocean it was beautiful at night.

" hmph.... " Lo'ak sat on the rocks " hey Lo'ak? " I asked he looked up at me curious " how long was I gone for while. You know... " I said turning my head to him " since we thought you were dead? " he asked I nodded " about a year? Maybe 2 I don't know... " he said I sat down " you've been with Payìva all this time though? " he asked I nodded.

" she brought me to her clan after she found me. " I said looking at him he turned to me " what was her clan like? " he asked " beautiful... her people are kind. They are a peaceful clan. You'll like them. And you'll get along well with Zeykoyu. " I said remembering him I laughed at a memory of him.

" what's that opposed to mean? " he asked " nothing little brother. So how's Payakan? " I asked " good his herd somewhat accepts him. " he said I hymned
Swotulu flew down towards me screeching " ahh! " Lo'ak screamed falling backwards I laughed he rolled  his eyes I extended a hand helping him up he took it.

" hey girl! " I said scratching behind her neck she shook I smiled " who is that? " Lo'ak asked " this is Swotulu. Payìva Sätswayon. " I said he tried to pet her she let him he smiled I smiled " we should get to sleep now. " I said we went inside.

I thought about Payìva clan I wonder how they're doing. I thought I closed my eyes seeing flames everyone dead " Payìva! " I screamed seeing a body on the ground I jumped to her " Payìva? " I asked blood was dripping everywhere off of her I was grabbed " argh! " I screamed I breathed heavily
" it is your fault! You could have saved us. But you choose not to! You let us burn in the flames! " she said I felt my heart get torn out I screamed painfully.

I opened my eyes breathing harshly I looked up
No flames. I thought my heart? I thought I placed my hand over it feeling my chest still there my skin still there I am alive. I thought it was just a Nightmare. I thought I fell back asleep.
