After taking the journey to see the ikran, Mä'reyna needed to see if the new comers where any good at using bows tin order to be arial attackers and arial hunters. Athough kiri was not yet at the stage of riding ikran, she could definitely be tought to use a bow.
"are you well?" asked reyna to the younger girl, kiri simply nodded and smiled, it seemed kiri had a felt things deeper than her family. She was sadder than the others about the move, perhaps it was because she wasnt really allowed to train, today being an exeption, reyna just couldn't figure out why.
"You must hold the breath in your ribs in order to hold the bow strongly" reyna showed the group, it appeared neyteyam had already mastered using a bow and was now helping kiri along with reyna helping lo'ak.
"no lo'ak focus" she said frustrated, "tighter stomach" she said patting his stomach , as she instructed him she would move his arms to the correct place, pretending not to notice the smirks from his siblings.
"okay like this" lo'ak asked fixing his form
"more like..." reyna got closer to his face, basically up against him to fix his elbows. after a minute she noticed him staring at her instead of the target so she moved back, "shoot"
Lo'ak hit the target practically perfectly, he smiled bigger than reyna had ever seen him before, clearly proud of himself.
After a few more shots it became clear kiri was not an archer, mä'reyna comforted her telling her she would teach her ways of tsahìk and she could help the girl find her place, much to kiris appreciation.
Now the only people cleaning up the training grounds were lo'ak and mä'reyna. It was almost eclipse so understandably everyone else had gone for the final meal of the day.
"you did good today, clearly you inherited something from your mother" reyna said to the boy.
"thank you" he said nodding slightly smiling at her.
"i can clean the arrows you may go lo'ak" she said as she pulled an arrow out of a tree trunk.
"ill stay, it's awkward going to meals" he said kicking dirt whilst he stared at the floor.
"what do you mean?"
"everyone just stares, demon blood right?" he said sarcastically holding up his hand.
"you do have demon blood, you should not be ashamed it is your heiritage!" she spoke firmly.
"everyone makes me feel ashamed." reyna could notice him growing saddened at the topic.
"you are the son of toruk makto, mighty warrior, his blood runs through you. You should not be ashamed, you are from a strong bloodline." she spoke glancing up at him before finishing cleaning, beconing for him to come join her for the meal.
Once the two entered the main tree, in which the clan came together to sing, dance, celebrate, mourn and most importantly eat, they split apart both joining their familys. Although lo'ak never stopped looking in her direction.
"oel ngati kameie" ( i see you ) spoke reyna to her mother and father before sitting down on her knees and reciving her food.
"i am proud of you daughter, you have accepted new comers better than expected." spoke the olo'eyktan. his daughter nodded as he spoke, her mother placing a hand on her shoulder,
" you will make a fine tsahìk my child." the three smiled at eachother savering the moment.
People had started to dance after food in celebration of eywa and her blessing of this meal.
Kiri had joined reyna, soon after the whole family ( apart from the adults ) where by her. Tuk had begun playing with her braids. Even though the two had never talked in the week the family had been there the two had grown to like eachother quickly in the time they had talked during celebration.
" so your father was an olo'eyktan too?" asked reyna
"yes, however our clan was quite different to yours" spoke neyteyam.
The group talked for ages about their home and their experience with the reef clans.
"i am jealous, the reef sounds unbelievable " reyna spoke to kiri smiling sweetly at the storys she told her about all the animals.
"why dont you go? we should all go back sometime" lo'ak said excitedly
"i would like to see.." reyna began, " but my people need me i cannot leave" she smiled at the group before standing up and wishing them all goodnight.
