War of hearts| lo'ak

I know I said I was going to go back home and I honestly was going to but as I was walking home I passed Navari. Navari is a tree i named after my mom, it was a tree we always came to together.

It was my favorite tree, I climbed the branches and found one to sit on. I liked to watch the eclipse from here, it was beautiful and the quiet was also very nice. I sat up in the tree for a little longer before getting down.

When I got home, my dad and brothers were eating dinner. "Finally its after eclipse where were you?" My dad asks, "I was training and then I went to navari" I answer. He didn't say anything after that he just nodded.

I sat down and began to eat with them. "What do you think of the Sully's?" Tio asked, Vokan laughed. He hated sky people because it was the sky people that killed my mom. "Vokan they are Na'vi" i say rolling my eyes. "Not fully" he mutters and I smacked the back of his head. "Ow, why are you so mad about it you don't even talk to them" he says. "I'm mad because your acting like a child and it's rude to judge people" i say. "I am not!" He said, i roll my eyes. Sometimes I feel like I'm the older sibling. When we finish dinner I start to head to bed.

I woke up pretty early, so i decided to go for a ride on my ikran. I grab my things and i walk towards the door but when i open it, lo'ak is standing there and he looked like he was about to knock. "Lo'ak what are you doing here?" I ask walking out the door and closing it behind me. "Well I wanted to come ask if you wanted to come train with me, but you look like your about to do something" he says, "oh I was going to go ride kaiaki, you can come and then we can train" i say. "Yeah sure" he says.

I hop on kaiaki, i rub her neck before we fly. I fly around the trees, lo'ak a bit behind me. We get to a cliff and i stop to look at the view. I cheer as I begin to fly again, i could hear lo'ak behind me laughing. I start to laugh as well and for the first time in what feels like forever I genuinely smile and we didn't even talk all he had to do was be around me.

after another hour of riding we finally went to train. We practiced dodging, when we finished, we went for a walk.

"So I noticed you don't use bows very often" he says. It was true I prefer to work on my skill and not a skill that can't be taken away from me in a fight. "I do use bows when I fight but a bow and arrow can only get me so far so, I practice combat as well" i say. He nods and we continue to walk, "wanna see something?" I ask. He smiles and says "sure" I smile back and i grab his hand. I bring him to the fall, i smile when we arrived. "Wow" he says smiling while looking around the area. I smile at him and i walk into the water but i stop when I'm knee length in. I could hear the water splashing behind me, i fling water towards lo'ak and laugh. He laughs too and I turn back to look at the waterfall, "I would come here all the time with my mom and Tio" i say still admiring the waterfall, "all these years and im still not used to the beauty" I could sense lo'ak staring, "what?" I say. He chuckles, "nothing your just really pretty" i smile and quickly look away. I start walking back, "I can walk you home" i say.

It was silent the whole walk, when we got there he went inside and i could see Kiri in the back. "Hi Luna!" She says waving her hand, i wave back and start to walk back home.

When I get back home I see Tio and Nanti playing together. I sit down and join them, "hiii!" I say to Nanti and she grabs ahold of my fingers. I laugh and I pick her up in my arms and swing her. She starts giggling, i start laughing and so does Tio. I set her back down on the ground and continue to play with her.

"Where were you?" Tio asks. "With lo'ak" i say. He raises an eyebrow and i just go back to playing with Nanti.

After a couple minutes I get up to get her lunch, Tio had fallen asleep, when I get back she starts to get up and starts walking to me. I gasp and it must have been pretty loud because Tio woke up, he turns to look at what is happening but soon after he becomes just as shocked as me. "did she-" i cut him off, "yes" I say. I set the food down and i run to her and hug her. "You took your first steps" i say still shocked. "We have to show dad and Vokan, where are they?" I asks getting up with Nanti. "They are training let's go" he says.

We get to training ground, i set Nanti down. "Can you walk to Vokan?" I ask Nanti. She nods and starts walking to Vokan, she stumbles a little bit and falls over a couple times. Now my dad and Vokan are staring at Nanti in shock. "Okan" she says with her arms open. It is funny because she can't say her v's yet so she calls Vokan, okan. He runs to her and picks her up. "When did she start walking?" He asks me and Tio, "like literally 5 minutes ago" Tio says. Vokan nods and continues to swing Nanti around and then sets her back down. She then walks to my dad, he bends down and grabs her hand. She gives him a hug, then he picks her up and we head home.

We have dinner and we all watch Nanti walk around. She was growing so much and I knew my mom would be smiling as much as we all were right now.

Dad gets up and picks Nanti up, "all right little one that's enough for today" he says walking her to bed. "That's enough for me too" i say getting up and leaving the room. I lay down and begin to fall asleep.

I know nothing has really like happened yet, I want it to be like a slow burn. I also want the relationship to build. Anyways sorry for like the long wait. I have so much work to do but I do have like 3 chapters in the working so yayy! Anyways have a good day, I have to go finish math so I don't fail the quiz tomorrow 😁😁 once again if you see grammar errors tell me so I can fix it, I may like writing but I hate reading for too long.
