- First person (Seyia)-

Its early morning the following day. 

God why would I do that last night. You don't even like him Seyia, why would you say that, no ones ever said that to him. 

Someones voice interrupts my thoughts. Its Tsireya. The chiefs daughter.

"Hey Seyia, everything all right? I was just about to take your siblings to a special cove. I wanted to know if you'd like to join us?" 

"Uh, ya ya no I'm fine, and I'd love to come! I love coves!" I said to Tsireya with a smirk. She was always so kind to me, why hadn't I taken the chance to know her. Oh ya because she's always making goo goo eyes at Lo'ak. Lo'ak, god stop thinking of him! God, he gross just don't think of him its not that hard. 

My mind trails off and back to reality.

I met Tsireya at the Ilu doc. I had to run to use the restroom real quick to collect my train of thought. Everyone was already there on their Ilu's. Neteyam had Tuk riding on his back. She had her own Ilu but mother and father didn't trust her to ride it by herself. 

Surpisingly I saw Ao'nung. He smiled and waved at me. I rolled my eyes and called over my Ilu. I put a saddle over her head and fed her a few fish as I did so. As I'm boarding Jelai, I see someone out of the corner of my eye. Lo'ak. Staring at me. He was talking with Tsireya, but I guess I must have caught his eye. He must be thinking about last night. On the other hand, I was trying not to.

I boarded my Ilu, and off we went. Tsireya leading with Lo'ak and Ao'nung to both sides of her, Neteyam following directly behind, Kiri and I both trailing behind them. Roxto was diving right next to Kiri. He's been super weird around her.

We eventually made it to the cove. Kiri and I were both side by side in awe of what was displayed in front of us. "Great mother Ewya is truly an artist." I said to Kiri. She shook her head in agreement while still looking around the cove.

Tsireya motioned for us to get off the Ilu's and come over to her.

"These are gill mantles. They will help you all to breathe underwater." She handed one to Tuk first and placed it on her back. Everyone repeated her actions and did as such.

Tsireya and Ao'nung motioned for us to follow them underwater. There we say the Spirit tree.

Its beauty was capturing. It was similar to the one back in the Omatacayian clan, but under water. The shapes looked more spongy and sea-like. It was jaw dropping.

We all grew closer to the spirit tree

We all grew closer to the spirit tree. Kiri and I were in awe. We couldn't stop staring at its beauty. 

Tsireya signed for all of us to connect our queue to the tree. We did as such.
