It was good that no on else was at home with her because she was getting some alone time, and enjoying the peace. It soon started raining as lani saw everyone heading into their homes keeping out from the rain, that when lani knew her peace of mind was going to be ruined soon.

Lani " everything fine dad"

Jake " are you sure honey you are not your usual self"

Lani " I'm good dad I can't have my days when I don't want to be running around everywhere"

Neytiri " oh hello tonowari"

Tonowari " I need to speak with you two about an important matter outside .. hello lani"

Lani " hello sir" Jake and neytiri had left the mauri pod as they were taking with tonowari about something, lani could hear their conversation. There was something off about today making lani get up and but her basket and supplies away. When she had walked off of the pod getting the attention of all three adults.

Jake " where are you going"

Lani " out for while sitting down and weave,are making my legs numbs I will be back before dark"

Tonowari " stays safe lani"

Lani " I will" lani soon called her IIu and dived into the water and swam away fast, she had looked back and saw all three adults looking at her but she didn't pay them attention. She had other matters to deal with like finding out what was calling her to the ocean.

Lani " what the matter girl" the rain and water were acting up and lani had decided to find cover for her and her IIu, as she started a small fire to keep herself warm and eat a fish. her IIu had started acting up like there was coming toward them lani had gotten out her balde, when other IIu had popped out nowhere.

Lani " umm hello there who are you and where is your rider" lani had saw the poor male IIu had some scars on to body, and rush to see if it rider as hurt underwater as well but she found nothing. She soon started checking out the poor creature.

Lani " it okay here have some fish will that make you feel better" she had feed the IIu and fish and he had warmed up to her quickly.

???? " you have a gift I never seen him warm up to someone so easily"

Lani " oh thank you ...ahh who are you" lani had turned around to see metkayina boy a year older or around neteyam age standing behind her. She had pointed her blade as the stranger towards his chest as the point of her blade, was on his chest.

???? " aww you are beautiful and funny" the boy had moved the blade away but was keeping his eyes on lani, as she stood there planning her escape.

???? " I don't mean you harm lani"

Lani " how do you know my name" lani was looking at the boy, as he stood there giving her a smirk.
