payakan

"I wish I had been there." Kiri smiled at lo'ak. "The ocean blessed you with a gift brother."

Amiryat hums turning back to him, the Sully siblings had joined Tsireya, Ao'nung and Rotxo by the ocean, as the sun behind them began to settle down with the orange sky shinning over them. Lo'ak had been telling them about his recent encounter with a tulkun.

"The tulkuns have not returned yet and anyways no tulkun is ever alone." Ao'nung told him pressing a hand to his knee leaning forward.

"This one was." Lo'ak states turning from Ao'nung to Tsireya. "He had a missing fin, like a stump on the left side."

The way the ocean girls eyes widen made Amiryat feel that it wasn't just any kind of tulkun that her little brother came across. "Payakan, it's Payakan."

"Who's payakan?" Amriyat ask glancing around them. "A young bull who went rogue." Rotxo answered from her right. "He is outcast, alone and has missing fin."

"They say he is a killer." Tsireya said softy to lo'ak caressing his arm. Lo'ak shook his head, disagreeing with her words. "No."

"He killed na'vi and other tulkuns." Ao'nung tells him, "not here, but far to the south."

"No, he's no killer." Lo'ak stared down refusing to believe that the tulkun he came across was a killer. "Lo'ak." Tsireya called his name. "You are lucky to be alive."

"I'm telling you guys he saved my life." Lo'ak glanced at his eldest sister, hoping that she would believe his word like she always did, Amriyat didn't know much about the sea creatures but she didn't know what to trust. "He is my friend."

"Lo'ak," Amiryat began leaning on her knees. "We know that you might think payakan is your friend but you can't trust that he won't kill you." Lo'ak frowns shaking his head, his heart swelling at her words, he wanted her to believe him like she always did, like she said.

Amiryat turned from him, not being able to hold eye contact with him. "My baby bro..." Neteyam rose placing down his hands on lo'ak' shoulders grinning from above. "The mighty warrior who faced a killer tulkun and survived."

Lo'ak hissed pushing his off to stand. "You guys aren't listening."

"No, lo'ak I'm listening." Tuk comments softly glancing down to Amiryat. "I was listening." Amiryat hums softly bringing her down to her chest. "I know, i know you were."

"Lo'ak, come back."

The sun had settled down and the ocean was completely silent with nothing but the ilu swimming around. Her siblings had gone with Tsireya and Rotxo to visit the sprit tree, Amiryat decided to stay out their way and stay with Ao'nung even if she was being watched.
