_____🌊_____
THE DAYS BLURRED TOGETHER and before she knew it, it was the time for the celebration. The sun slowly setting eclipse taking over the dark melancholy night that once was full of color, when a flash of green blue on an ilu hinted that Anoung had showed up. Neteyam glanced through the door watching as she waited, his fist clenched tightly in a ball.
The warrior quickly walked back into the hut asking Neytiri a question, "is this outfit good?" She asked glancing at her shell beaded top and blue wrap skirt, "yes, now go!" His mom laughed pushing the girl out the door, "I'll dance with you later Nete!" She yelled quickly going to wait outside the hut.
Elyä stood outside the hut waiting for the chiefs son twiddling with the seashell in her hair, "hey forest warrior!" Anoung yelled on his ilu, "you ready to go to the beach and have an amazing celebration?"
She nodded quickly calling her ilu diving into the water joining him smiling brightly leaving behind a jealous Neteyam and a very lost Sully family, "oh shit the celebration is tonight?" Jake asked his oldest son confused.
"Yes, sir," he sighed, "are we gonna go or not?" Lo'ak asked wanting to see Tsrieya.
"Yes, yes calm down," Neytiri chimed in not really caring kinda just wanting to try their alcohol.
Oh how fun this is gonna be.

ELYÄ FELT THE MUSIC in her veins as she and Aonung walked into the very lively place drums and singing, it was comforting like a little piece of home in a new place, "what do you think so far forest girl?" He asked putting an arm around her. "It's nice," she grinned her feet crunching under the sand feeling it trickle between her toes.
"Wait until you dance!" He smiled dragging her to the crowd dancing, "it is the Matikanya way especially when we dive into the water in the end," the chiefs son grinned.
She nodded along to the music joining the crowd Aonung dragging her.
"Come on it's about to start!" He laughed joining the dance circle as Tonowari and Ronal watched intrigued by everything that is going on by the two.
The music played the sounds of drums and singing echoed throughout the beach as people danced and kicked the sand, the sully's walked in taking in the aroma and atmosphere of the party.
