𝐔𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 | Neteyam x Aonung

Five

Time went by quickly.
Tsireya ended the day with the Sullys by showing them some more useful techniques so that they would be able to hold their breath for more than just a minute. And before anyone knew it, the sky was already losing its bright color and turning into a dark paradise full of little stars.
It was extremely gorgeous seeing the sky reflect in each other's huge eyes, and Lo'ak wanted this day to never end.

But of course, it had to, so they all agreed to continue tomorrow and go back to their pods.
When they arrived and said their goodbyes to mostly Tsireya, the kids settled down in their home, where Jake and Neytiri did some last preparations.
Tuk jumped into her mother's arms, almost falling asleep right then and there.
"How was it? What do you think of Tonowari's and Ronald's children?", Jake then asked with a calm voice while watching his own boys and girls get ready for sleep.

Neteyam let out a small sigh before positioning himself on his sleeping place and twisting on a few of his braids. "It was alright", he claimed.
But in reality, the former omaticaya just wanted to go home again. Back into the deep forest, a beautiful mix of green and other bright colors surrounding him at all times. The place they were born for.
That weirdo Ao'nung was right, in some way; It'll be hard to adapt to this kind of environment, which neither he nor his family members are used to. Their bodies are built for the forest and most definitely not the ocean.
Though he could never admit that. To protect his role and younger siblings, he needed to be strong.

Kiri laid herself down, trying to find a comfortable position. "The ocean is really mesmerizing, that's true, but we still miss home, dad".
Jake looked at them with sad eyes while holding Neytiri's hand and giving it a tight squeeze. "I know, I do too. But this was the best we could do in order to protect ourselves as well as the omatikaya at home. We're strong, and we're going to get through it, together, alright?".
They all nodded slightly, trying to keep themselves awake. But after failing miserably, they fell asleep in a matter of seconds, replaying the events of today in their heads.

After some time, Neteyam couldn't make out exactly how long it had been before he woke up due to some rustling that could be heard from the outside.
And by looking around, he realized the na'vi's little brother was nowhere in sight. "Oh Lo'ak, what are you getting yourself into now..?", Neteyam sighed, mostly to himself.
Therefore, the boy got up and went outside in hopes to instantly see Lo'ak and drag him back inside by his ears.

But instead of his brother, he was met with no one other but the next Olo'eyktan himself, sitting in front of their pod and staring in one particular direction.
"What the hell are you doing here?", Neteyam hissed at Ao'nung yet again while trying to be as quiet as possible to not wake anyone up.

The teal na'vi slowly turned his head, a questionable look on his face. "Well, this is still my village, y'know?".

Neteyam just rolled his eyes to the back of his head while waiting for the actual answer to his remark. "It's the middle of the night; what horrific thing could've happened that you're sitting outside of our pod?", he asked again, but this time in more detail.

Suddenly, Ao'nung's eyes narrowed after he gestured to a place right in front of them. "Your brother happened".
