They were no longer kids they had reached adult hood age.

Tipa " so what going on between you and OIee and don't lie I seen the way you two look at each other and how he spend some nights in your home" the two of them were at the beach sitting on some rocks enjoying the warm day and dipping their legs, into the water.

Lani " I don't know tapa it seems like the great mother has brought us together but there is someone else I dynasty to be with as well"

Tipa " huh"

Lani " there was someone else I felt the same connection I feel with Oiee his name is tsyerio ... I had fallen in love with him he had given me this bracelet I have before that day .. he was the chef youngest son"

Lani " yes it seemed like I was special to him"

Tipa " you know if he dose come back, you can have both him and oiee it seems like the great mothers wants this"

Lani " we have to see about that I don't think he will be looking for me, he might of found someone else"

Tipa " then it was never meant to be my friend"

Lani " i would when our spirt brothers sisters and brothers will return" it had taken lani a week to find out they tribe had a connection with the forest and ocean, they always had a special bond with the tulkun. It didn't take payakan long enough to come find her it seemed like he knew she was alive.

Tipa " I miss them but you send them a way longer was for the best we could've of lost them"

Lani " they were wonderful I had two older brothers named spider and neteyam, they were always keeping me from harm then I had a older sister name kiri she was special... always helping me with stuff when my mother didn't have time ... my little sister Tuk is sweet and funny"

Tipa " how do you think stuff will end if they did something else to stop you from leaving"

Lani " well then I wouldn't be here with you all I would of never meant you all, and stayed there being my parent's disappointment"

Tipa " if you ever see them again it might mot be easy to forgive them ... I know we are taught to forgive but not everything is easy to move on from"

Lani " I think I will be able to forgive my siblings and my friends but when it comes to the other adults in, my life it won't be so easy"

Tipa " whatever you choice lani I will be by your side ... so will you other friends"

Lani " thank you tipa" soon the two female had heard running coming from behind them and soon enough zio, had dived into the water splashing the duo with water.

Tipa " zio"

Zio " hello ladies how are you two doing"

Zio " I was walking looking for you two and heard you two speaking, and decided to show off my moves"

Tipa " you are such a child at times I wounded of eway and Oiee act like this" soon two more navi had dived into the water making lani and tipa move from their spot.

Eway " hey you called"

Lani " see that answers the answer question"

Oiee " come on ladies join us for some fun"

Tipa " fine I'm in for a good swim" tipa soon dive into the water as lani was kneeling down towards Oiee, the two were looking at each other.

Lani " it good to see you and the others are here I was wondered the journey ended badly"

Oiee " there nothing to worry about lani now come on, join us everyone is either going for a swim or walk on the beach"

Lani " well I ..." Oiee soon grabbed lani hand and pulled her into the water making the girl laugh and remember the time Tsyerio had, done the same thing to her. She was hoping and praying one day she will see her friends and siblings again, even if she had to see them from far away or if they didn't remember her she just wanted to to see them again.

At the metkayina village

Tsyerio " lani I hope you are in peace with the great mother I wishes ... I was there to keep you safe from harm but I was not"

Tsyerio " I wish I told you more of my tree feeling but I was a coward"

???? " Tsyerio" tsyerio soon tuned around and saw his brothers, and the sulky kids standing there it seemed like they heard heard him.

Tuk " may we join you"

Tsyerio " sure"

Kiri " you were thinking for her were you"

Tsyerio " yes it feel emptied with her here in our group"

Tuk " it empty at home without her grandmother won't even look or speak to mom or dad ... even uncle Tsu'tey and uncle norm have become quite"

Spider " it seems like we all failed to see what lani really meant to us"

Rotxo " Thais demons are still out there living their lives and she is dead"

Ao'nung " Rotxo"

Rotxo " I'm sorry"

Neteyam " we have even failed her on death we didn't seek revenge for her and we haven't gone to the spirt tree to see her ... we keep on failing her over and over again"

Tsyerio " then why don't we go see her tomorrow it will be perfect we can all see her again, and maybe juts maybe seek her forgiveness"

Rotxo " if she can forgive us we did treat her horrible before she left"

Ao'nung " if will ask for her forgiveness but I will understand if she doesn't want to forgive"

Kiri " the great mother is punishing us for what we have done but maybe we can rewrite our wrong ..., I just want to see and hold her again" it was decided they were all going to finally see her after so many years of mor going to see her, they were going to visit the tree no mater what Jake and tonowari say to them. All the kids had returned home but didn't speak a word to their parents, acting like they were nothing because that was the treated lani had been given by everyone around her before she had dead.
