Per the talented wise woman's strict orders, Saraïyah was taking careful caution to let the ink dry and not ruin the exquisite artwork embellishing her skin. In just a few more minutes or so, she will be able to move around without restriction. She has both time and patience anyway. Frankly, she continues to be in utter denial about the entire outcome, as well as the life-altering occurrences that have been unfolding before her eyes recently.

The walls have shattered, allowing a new sun to shine on her life and a new chapter in her story. She waited for this miracle for years. Through the blood, sweat, and tears, she knew she'd make it through and was determined.

Sweet Mother Eywa. Not one, but four badass tattoos, and three beads were added to her songcord. Bit by bit, her efforts are beginning to bear fruit.

You're getting there, Saïyah.

By now, the gathering was already in action. Different kinds of dishes were on display for everybody to consume at their leisure while having a blast under the starry moonlight. Saraïyah sat not too far away from her family's grand marui, appraising the cute and funny infants who kept her company. All of them were performing tricks with ilu to impress her.

"Awesome!" She joined the children in applauding as one demonstrated his own backflip.

"What's my rating, big sissy? How'd I do?!" The young lad beamed, his eyes twinkling with anticipation.

Saïyah chuckled at his cuteness, "A 10 out 10! He did great, right guys?"

"Yes! That landing was so cool!" The kids hyped him up, slapping their tails against each other in imitation of a high five.

"I wanna try too, I'll do a handstand and a backflip!" Maye, the newest participant, voiced her interest.

Prior to the start of their game, while the rest felt timid and grumbled about not favoring their names, she and her sister introduced themselves. Saïyah had no difficulty memorizing their lovely names.

An Ilu swam over to Maye when she plunged under the water, responding to her call. She made Tsaheylu with the creature.

"Go girl, wow us!" Saraïyah spurred her on, glad that after being quiet and hesitant, she was now partaking in the fun.

Her older sister, snuggling up against Saïyah's arm, expressed concern, "You think she'll make it? Handstands are hard. I've never done something like that, neither has Maye." Although she dug Maye's bravery, she couldn't suppress her sibling instinct.
