When we arrived, we saw some strangers. They were na'vi but the forest kind. They had slim tails and limbs. But my attention caught a certain person. It was a boy, he looked around the same age as me. We got closer and they greeted us. I greeted the...
"A'ki, have you seen Lo'ak?" Jake rushed to me. He seemed stressed. "No, did something happen?" I asked. "I sent him to make up with your brother and since then I can't find him," he told me. Oh shit. Ao' would be capable of doing something to him. "I'll ask my brother," I said and went to my house. "Ao', have you seen Lo'ak? I heard he was supposed to apologize to you and since then no one saw him", I asked him. Our parents turned his attention to him immediately. He just look down. "What did you do Ao'nung?" Father asked him strictly. "I.....took him to the shore, which you forbid me from going to," he said quietly. I froze. "Are you imbecile or just stupid!?" I yelled at him. I immediately rushed to my ilu, Neteyam witnessing the situation. " You can't go there A'ki, it's dangerous," my mom yelled at me. "What if the boy dies huh? What then?" I uttered and jumped into the water. "I'll come with her", neteyam said and jumped after me. "Oh dear Eywa....please let them return safely," Ronal prayed.
I rode as fast as I could. I can't let him die, just imagining how Tsireya would be sad was enough motivation to me. I arrived to the to the edge of the shores. I gave myself a quick break to think of a strategy. "I would go there together and then we can split if needed," said someone behind me. "Neteyam?! What are you doing here?!" I asked him surprised. "Are you stupid? Something can happen to you," I hissed at him. "I believe the same could happen to you, let me just help you," he smiled. "Okay, let's go, together and then split right?" I stared at the blue sea. "Yeah, let's go," he said and we dived in. Be careful,therearequitebigcreaturesthat would like to kill you, I signed to him. He just nodded. We swam for a while and there was still no sign of Lo'ak anywhere. We went up to the surface.

"Did you find anything?" I asked him. "Just his visor, but I doubt he died, no sign of blood or pieces of him," he exclaimed. " I found a dead body of one creature, which could possibly kill him, but something killed it first." I said. What animal could possible kill such a huge creature. "I think I know what could help him, if it's true, he's on his way home," I looked at him. "Really? What is it?" He looked at me with hope in his eyes. " I hope it's as I think but he could be possibly taken care of by Payakan," I slowly stared to swim away from the shores, Neteyam following me. "Payakan? Isn't it the Tulkun that is a killer?" He asked. Yeah, that was his description for ages now. Honestly I never believed it, my soul sister was his ex mate and she told be it was just a huge misunderstanding. "Yeah, thats how they call him," I nodded, " let's go now, maybe we'll meet them on the way." I smiled. He gave me a smile back.
Jake POV "It's been 2 days since they went to search for Lo'ak," I looked and Neytiri. "Do you think they're okay?" I asked her. I couldn't tell if she was calm or worried. " I prayed to Eywa, I trust that she will lead them home," she smiled softly. " That girl, A'ki was it right?", She looked me in the eyes, "yes, she is really brave, she reminds me of our son," I said. Neytiri just nodded. Suddenly we heard the tribe signal. Tsireya came in running," Lo'ak is back!" She smiled trying to catch a breath. We quickly stand up and went o greet our son.
A'ki POV It was getting dark. "We're getting close," I smiled. I was exhausted but I wanted to get back as fast as possible. "I'm sorry...it seems we won't be able to give you the dare," I looked at neteyam. He smiled. You look tired, let's rest for a while," he said looking at me. " No, the sooner we'll get back the better. Something could attack us here," I said. "Then get on my ilu, you can rest and I'll ride." He offered. "Okay, Le'a, stay with us okay?" I stroked my ilus head. She chirped as yes. Neteyam made space in front of him. "You can lean on me and sleep, I don't mind, but hold tight so you don't fall." He smiled. My heart started racing. He hugged me and we started to move. Soon enought a drifted to sleep.
