DISTANCE ; LO'AK X MALE OC

022, Runaway

"Great Mother, I give you this young soul" my mother prayed over Lo'ak, I was outside watching while comforting Neteyam because he couldn't stand seeing his brother on the floor covered with blood.

Toruk Makto and his sky people friends wrapped Lo'ak lower chest with something called a Bandage..?

"I shouldn't have left" Neteyam repeatedly mumbled under his breath, he looked like he was faint. "Are you okay?" "No!" He yelled at me, it caught me off guard "No.. no I'm sorry I'm-No" he stuttered, I gave him a hug. He's clearly stressed and earlier his father yelled at him for not being a brother.

I mean it wasn't even neteyams fault, but I didn't say anything, Lo'ak began to sit up. Everyone rushed by his side, his mother holding his hand tight.

"Are you okay?" She asked him and he nodded, my father turned to me, gently removing Neteyam off of me.

Next thing I know my father slapped me across the face, not once but twice, I fell onto the floor, "Tonowari!" My mother yelled at my father, leaving Lo'ak.

" I don't want to see you out till it's time" he left me there, I felt to embarrassed to even get up.

My mom came by side, checking if I was okay. When she lifted up my chin, tears immediately came down my eyes. She sighed, "Go" she told me.

I stood up, there was silence however I could tell there's all eyes on me.

I couldn't take it anymore, each step I took, another tear fell. I hate this, I hate this clan, I hate my father, I hate me.

I made a big decision, I gathered my stuff, I couldn't go on my ilu too slow. I knew the perfect animal that would get me out here faster.

I had my stuff on my back, and called out for neteyams Ikran. He taught me how to call out an Ikran a certain one too, he also taught me how to ride one.

It came to me, I gently petted its beak and hopped on. I connected my queue and we left.
