My love ~ Neteyam Sully x oc

23.

Neteyam and Ivä were now standing inside of her Mauri, talking to Anoung and Tsireya.

Ronal and Tonowari had not come out of the their room yet. Although, dinner was being made.

The teens continued to talk until Tonowari and Ronal came out. The room fell silent. And Neteyam tensed, again.

Anoung snickered a little bit before earning a smack in the head from Tsireya.

"Neteyam, Ivä." Tonowari greeted them both by nodding his head.

Ronal nodded her head as well before going to finish dinner.

Neteyam nodded his head back quickly, in fear if he did it too slow, they wouldn't like him.

"Father, mother," Ivä greeted back.
"What's for dinner?" Ivä asked holding Neteyam's forearm. She could tell he was nervous  by how quickly he was breathing.

"Crab." Ronal answered from the kitchen.

"We had crab last week!" Anoung whined.

Tonowari shook his head smiling. Tsireya just rolled her eyes at his foolishness, while Neteyam and Ivä just laughed.

"Awe, well you can go swim with the fishes and hope to catch your dinner there." Ronal said not looking up from the crab she was cooking.

"Fine.." Anoung huffed out.

"Come Neteyam. I want to show you something." Tonowari nodded his head to a room full of weapons.

OH SHIT- he's going to tell me I'm not good enough for his daughter and kill me! What have I done to deserve this!?  Neteyam thought to himself.

Tonowari turned his back and started walking into the room.

Neteyam turned his head quickly towards Ivä with wide eyes. He was petrified.

"Go! Don't keep him waiting." Ivä laughed while pushing him in the direction her father went.

Anoung and Tsireya giggled while they watched him dreadfully walk.

"He's not making it out alive." Anoung said as soon as he saw Neteyam disappear into the room.

"Oh stop it. He'll be fine." Tsireya said shaking her head.

"It's  pretty funny. Neteyam was scared to come here." Ivä said laughing.

Everyone burst into laughter. Ronal was listening to her children's conversation. She shook her head and smiled. She actually liked Neteyam. She remembers one little boy, around when him and Ivä were 13, came for dinner. Her husband took him into the room and minutes after, the boy left in tears. He had answered the question wrong. He was never seen again.

She hoped Neteyam would be smart, and answer the questions right, as the other boy did not.

Tonowari and Neteyam were now in the room, full of spears and knives. Neteyam's heart was beating intensely. And he felt as he was shaking.

"These, are all the spears and knives of the past chives. All of the past Tsahik's. And some of the greatest warriors. One day, my children's weapons will sit on this wall. Ivä's will sit right here, since she will be next Tsahik." Tonowari gestured to all of the weapons on the wall.

Neteyam nodded and looked around the room.
I guess he's not going to kill me. Well not yet At least.

Tonowari gestured for Neteyam to sit down with him. Neteyam had a feeling he knew what was coming. He quickly sat down with Tonowari, waiting for him to speak again.
