Avatar : Reborn In The Way Of Water

•002•

Ìsyai was swimming observing the marine wonders that never ceased to fascinate her.

While she was enjoying herself in the sea, her happy place, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a familiar young Tulkun.

Every year at this time, the Tulkuns return to Awa'atlu allowing its inhabitants to reunite with their soul-siblings, it's a period of great joy and serenity for the village, for the entire Metkayina clan.

Ìsyai hoped one day to be able to form this special bond too, to be worthy of being chosen by one of these magnificent creatures.

Before her eyes, the young male was the one with whom she often played, and for this reason she decided to approach him to greet him.

There was a sort of connection between the two, they understood each other on the fly and complemented each other: she was the one who gave him advice and kept him on the straight path, while he was the more easygoing of the two, giving her the lightness she needed but also that sense of protection that she has always wanted.

"Hi Nàru, it's good to see you. I missed you" she said to him without words.

"Hi Ìsyai, I didn't. It was much calmer without you. Ohw, I already miss the paceful times when I didn't have to listen to your nonsense" He said in a playfully dramatic way.

"Skxawng (moron)" said her laughing

The two spent hours playing, teasing each other and exploring, which was their favorite activity.

The time spent together was refreshing, there was no need to communicate to understand each other, it seemed that the two had known each other forever.

At sunset the two were still together.

"Nàru, have you ever felt so happy that you were afraid?"

"Afraid? "

"Yeah, afraid I might lose that happiness. I feel so happy right now, complete, but something inside tells me it won't last long and I'm afraid of losing it all."

"I think I can understand how you feel, but I think the things that really make you happy are the things you'll give your all to protect, and eventually succeed, especially if you have someone to help you do it, someone to watch your back. someone like...me"

Ìsyai eyes wiedened and she froze for a few seconds.

"What.. Are you serious? Isn't it a joke? It's not like at the end you come up with 'I screwed you!', you would be capable of that"

The young Tulkun was such a joker that anything could be expected.

He rolled his eyes in response.
"Woman of little faith. Of course I'm serious, I'm choosing you, Ìsyai, and it's the only choice I will never regret"

She could hardly believe it, Nàru wanted to make a bond with her. Nàru was choosing her. It's a great honor to be chosen by a Tulkun, and she couldn't suppress the smile blooming on her face.

"Well, if you insist so much, I will honor you with a tsaheylu with me" she said in a playful way to her soul-brother to be

Things were like this between them, a perfect mix of laughter, teasing and some (rare) serious moments.

In a Marui in the village, the Olo'eyktan was discussing with his mate.

"There's been a lot of talk in the village lately about Ìsyai, Täey's daughter." said Tonowari

"Since her birth they have been talking about her, she was blessed by the Great Mother and her connection with Eywa is extraordinary" Ronal said

"I've been told that she and Ao'nung get along very well, she's the only one he listens to..."

"What are you trying to say? Get straight to the point," said the Tsahìk, tired of her mate's rambling.

Tonowari gulped. He was a strong leader and warrior, but if there was one thing that scared him, it was his mate.

"She comes from an honorable family of great warriors, her connection with the Great Mother is amazing, she has great leadership skills, she and our son are on good terms..., maybe we can consider combining the two-" but he was interrupted

"So you want to pin her as the future mate of our son and get her started preparing to become the next Tsahìk" Ronal got to the point.

"Exactly"

Ronal looked at her mate and then said:
"I will test her to see if she is up to the task, only then will I be able to consider the idea" and with Tsahìk's words the speech was closed
