the celebration by naughtyforneteyam on tumblr

ʚ ✦ ♥︎ ∞ ☾ ɞ

lo'ak walked through the big crowds of the metkayina people.

"did you hear, y/n is leading the big dance!" two girls your age walked by speaking about you. that's odd you didn't tell him, lo'ak thought. he stopped thinking when neteyam caught up with him.

"yo bro, i hear your girl's leading tonight's celebration!" neteyam yelled loudly over everyone talking.

"yeah, do you know when it is starting?" lo'ak spoke looking over to his brother.

"no but it should soon-" neteyam was cut off with the sound of drums. a path leading from the main dock, to the main pod doors formed. the doors opened and you walked out, followed by many other girls. he was in awe of how you looked. white swirls in face paint fill your face, and your body. white and baby blue coral covered your breasts, while your loincloth was decorated in white coral and baby blue hydrocleys nymphoides. your hair was braided with small white flowers. your pretty blue eyes brought out all of the baby blue and white covering your body. lo'ak looked around to see every boy your age looking at you practically drooling, you were no doubt the most popular girl on the island. every other girl was just dressed in white making you stand out. the drums stopped once you and every other girl were in your spots. you were in the front and center of a huge pyramid.

"hello." tonowari, the olo'eyktan spoke through a shell projecting his voice. "today is the day our beloved brothers and sisters came home!" he shouted, making cheers erupt from everyone. including lo'ak and his family. "so, that means we must have our celebration." he spoke walking over to you. "y/n y/l/n, will be leading the singing and dancing this year!" cheers erupted from everyone's mouth. adult men, adult women, teenage boys, teenage girls, young girls, young boys, even tuk. "please enjoy." he spoke quickly walking back to ronal, who rubbed his arm as he stood back next to her. the drums started again.

you started to move your hips to the drums first, then all the other girls followed.

"all the birds of a feather," the girls behind you sung.

"do what they love most of all." as soon as those lyrics stopped being sung everyone danced away from their spot, dancing with the crowd. you spotted tuk and spun over to her picking her up and throwing her in the air, before setting her down.

"dance with me tuk!" you tried to yell over the music.

"i do not know how!" tuk whined, watching you dance.

"just be loose, move your hips and smile. like me!" you said to her. she did, and she was dancing like everyone else. jake and neytiri saw you two and they smiled with joy while looking at eachother. lo'ak also saw this action, grinning and admiring your body frame neteyam nudged him and laughed lo'ak rolled his eyes and looked at you again. everyone was looking at the two of you. once the beat changed you knew it was time to get back to your spots. you kissed tuk's hand and lightly pushed her back into the crowd, she smiled as little metkayina kids gave her high fives, and congratulated her. you quickly danced back to your spot smiling and swaying your hips. you felt the pressure, being the lead was an honor but so terrifying. if you were to mess up you would never hear the end of it.

"loving our life in the jungle," you stepped forward, and began to sing.

"everything's wild and free." you sung smiling at everyone, you saw lo'ak's face in awe. he has never heard you sing before, now he doesn't want enough.
