Before daylight, the Sully children, together with Tsireya, Ao'nung and Rotxo, sat on a rock on the beach, surrounded by palm trees and plants. Lo'ak told me about yesterday when the Tulkun saved a life.
Reneera almost reached the shore with her Ilu when Tsemlu jumped on her from the side and knocked her off the animal into the water.
She stood up in the water and pushed Tsemlu into the water. It all turned into a big water fight.
Neteyam was disturbed by Reneera's angelic laughter. His heart sank when he saw who she was having fun with so well. It hurt to see Tsemlu touching her, so he looked away, trying to focus his attention on Lo'ak's story.
After a while, the voices stopped. Neteyam looked back at the water, but no one was there. When his eyes returned to the group, Reneera was standing in front of him leaning against a tree with Tsemlu at her back.
Her hair was wet, drops of water ran down her body. Neteyam couldn't help but measure Reneera from head to toe. A slight blush appeared on his face. Although he had seen her wet many times, each time was unique. Especially the current one, as she had the necklace she had given him around her neck.
"Reneera, tell them that Payakan is not a murderer, he saved my life." Lo'ak turned to her with pleading eyes.
"Lo'ak is telling the truth." Reneera stated.
"Sure, you can't believe this!" Tsemlu looked down at Reneera. Before she could say anything, Neteyam stepped behind Lo'ak and put his hands on Lo'ak's shoulders.
"My baby bro! The mighty warrior, who faced a killer Tulkun and survived."
"You guys aren't listening." Lo'ak nervously dropped Neteyam's hand and stood up. Disappointed that no one believes him, he left. The others shouted after him, but it was in vain.
"You shouldn't have done that." Reneera looked at Neteyam with disappointment and she ran after Lo'ak.
"Lo'ak, wait!" He stopped.
"Don't be mad at Neteyam, he wasn't there and doesn't know."
"Then why is he making fun of me? Why doesn't he believe me?"
"Sit!" Reneera sat down in the sand and motioned for Lo'ak to do the same. "I know what you feel. I was in the same situation as you. Payakan was my friend, we got along very well. But that thing happened and I was forbidden to see him again. In vain I told everyone that it was not Payakan's fault, no one believed me."
"What happened?" Lo'ak asked with a confused face.
"Didn't he tell you?" Lo'ak shook his head.
"I can't tell you. I promised him, but he will surely tell you." Reneera rose from Lo'ak's side. "Now go and have fun with him, I've got your back. And don't be mad at Neteyam, he just wants your best."
Reneera turned back to the others.
"Where's Lo'ak?" Kiri asked.
"He has some work to do. He will come later." Reneera sat down next to Neteyam.
"How was your time with Tsemlu? I thought you were sick of him." Neteyam turned to Reneera.
"It was funny." Reneera watched as Neteyam became overcome with jealousy. Reneera giggled and got closer to him. "Jealous?" she whispered in his ear. Neteyam didn't answer, he just turned his head, which amused Reneera even more.
"We have a surprise for you. We think you deserve it. Come with us!" they called their Ilus.
"I will go with you." Reneera sat behind Neteyam. "Nissa ate too much fish and she's not feeling well."
