"PAYAKAN!" LO'AK continuously shouted as he slowly swam around near the reef, attempting to find the tulkun that had become his friend. "Payakan!" He shouted again, beginning to loose hope.
But that hope was soon fulfilled as Payakan arose from the water beside him. Lo'ak quickly got off his ilu, swimming over to the tulkun. "It's good to see you." Lo'ak spoke, climbing onto the tulkun's fin as he began signing.
"Why are you outcast? What happened?" Lo'ak signed whilst still speaking aloud. The tulkun whined slightly, telling the boy he didn't want to speak of it. "I trust you, you can trust me." Lo'ak signed, deciding not to push his friend any further.
"You know, I met this girl a few days ago. She is beautiful, kind, strong. But I am not sure if she thinks the same of me." Lo'ak ranted to the tulkun, who made a noise — asking for her name.
"Lēia. Her name is Lēia."

Lēia swam through the water on an ilu, guiding Kiri, Tuk and Neteyam to the cove of ancestors with Roxto. The group arose from the water, slowly making their way under a rock as they all ducked their head.
The Sully's eyes lit up at the beauty of it. It reminded them a lot of home, just an in water version. "This is the cove of the ancestors, our most sacred place. Eclipse is the best time of day to be here." Lēia explained as the sun had almost set.
"This is it, this is the spirit tree." Lēia pointed to the glowing patch they was currently floating over. They all got off of their ilu's and began swimming down to the root of the tree. A big smile appeared on Lēia's, her dimples showing as she took in the beauty of the sea.
She would never get bored of it. Lēia signed to Kiri and Neteyam to bond with the tree whislt Roxto helped Tuk. Lēia smiled at the content look on the girls face, but it soon disappeared as she began to seize.
The whole spirit tree shut off, loosing it's glow as Neteyam went from confused to worried within a millisecond. Lēia immediatley helped the girl, pulling her hair from the tree and trying to quickly drag her up as Neteyam helped the girl.
Rotxo grabbed Tuk, bringing the younger girl up with him. Lēia grunted as she pulled Kiri's body onto the ilu, Neteyam quickly trying to clear her air way. "What's happening to her? Kiri?" Tuk cried as Lēia pulled the younger girl onto an ilu with herself.
"Is she breathing? Is she breathing?" Rotxo worryingly asked as Lēia shrugged, not being able to form a sentence. After a few more moments of Neteyam trying to give Kiri cpr, Lēia knew it wasn't going to work.
"Take her back to the village! Now!" Lēia shouted as Neteyam wasted no time, speeding off. Lēia waited for Tuk to hold on to her and Rotxo to get on his ilu before speeding after Neteyam, the trio catching up to him quick. "Help!" Lēia shouted as they reached shore, Kiri in Neteyam's arms and Tuk and Roxto walking beside her.
"What happened?" Tonowari asked as he rushed to group. Ronal, the rest of the Sully's and some of the village soon appeared, Jake immediately taking his daughter into his hands.
"We took her to the spirit tree and she connected with it and seized." Lēia spoke, putting a hand on her chest as she took deep breaths, trying to stop herself from panicking.

It had been a few days since Kiri's seziure, and the girl was still yet to wake up. Lēia had been spending more time with the Sully's than usual, trying to reassure and comfort the family that Kiri would wake up, though she didn't even believe that herself. At first, Lēia belived Kiri was going to be okay, but now she wasn't so sure.
Jake had called for one of his friends, he had told Tonowari and Ronal earlier that day that a man called Norm - who was a scientist - was coming to try and help Kiri. Lēia linked her arm through Lo'ak's as he held up his free arm, blocking both of their eyes frolm the sand as the helicopter landed. Jake immediately greeted the man before hurrying him into the hut where Kiri was.
"I have got to go be with my sister incase she wakes up, I will see you later." Lo'ak brought his free hand up to Lēia's face, caressing it lightly before walking away. A small blush tinted Lēia's face as she walked away, not being able to stop the massive smile forming on her face.
✧˖*°࿐
It had been a day and a half since Norm arrived and everyone was growing impatient, including Ronal. The pregnant woman swore she wasn't going to get involved but she couldn't help but imagine her children in that state and how she would be broken if there was someone who could help but didn't.
So she decided to step in and help, Lēia trailed behind her mother holding the healing tray as she passed it to her mother. Lēia knew her mother would do everything in her power to wake the young girl up.
And by eclipse, Kiri opened her eyes for the first time in almost a week.
