I watched standing next to Ao'nung holding his hand. Tsireya and Roxto on my right as Jake and Neteyam tried to calm the angry crowd of Metkayina.

"My spirit sister and her baby were murdered by the sky people!" Ronal shouted at Jake

"This war has come, it used to be over the horizon! Far away! Now, it is here!" Tonowari announced

"This war has come, it used to be over the horizon! Far away! Now, it is here!"  Tonowari announced

This made the crowd angrier, I put a hand over my mouth as I choked back tears. Ao'nung put his other arm around me and squeezed my hand, Tsireya was crying as she looked to Lo'ak, Kiri and Tuk were back at the Marui, and Neytiri stood on the other side of the crowd near Jake.

"Hear my words! Hear me!" Jake shouted at them

"Listen! Listen to my father!" Neteyam said

"You have to talk to the Tulkun! You gotta tell em to go far away!" He shouted

"Leave?! You live among us, and you learn nothing!" Ronal shouted at him

"We will fight to protect our brothers and sisters!" A male clan member shouted

"We will fight to protect our brothers and sisters!" A male clan member shouted

The crowd shouted war cries, hissed, slapping their arms, and banging staffs.

"If you attack, if you fight! Then they will destroy you! They will destroy everything that you love!" Jake yelled

Ronal put a hand over her pregnant stomach. The mob and Tonowari however didn't listen, they kept hissing and stuck their tounges out.

"You hear my words! Hear me!" Jake yelled again

"Stay calm! Stay calm! Listen to my father! He speaks the truth!" Neteyam yelled with Jake, holding his hands out

"No! Damn it!" Jake cursed as the mob of angry Metkayina kept snarling

I started to panic. We couldn't go to war! Not now! I looked to Ao'nung and Tsireya who held the same panicked expression as I did. I looked at Lo'ak and Neteyam, they were all afraid. I had to do something!

I ran over to Neteyam, grabbing the object from his hand and rasing it up in the air

I ran over to Neteyam, grabbing the object from his hand and rasing it up in the air. I had never seen so many people freeze in their spots at once before. They all looked at me wide eyed as they saw the object in my hand. Ao'nung, my adoptive parents, and my siblings watched as I spoke.

"You have to tell your Tulkun that if they're hit by one of these, they're marked for death!" I exclaimed, looking to Tonowari and Ronal.

"Saving their lives that's all that matters, right? Saving your family" Jake added as he stepped forward

"Tell the Tulkun" Tonowari said to the crowd

"Go, Go!" Ronal ordered at the crowd

Everyone scrambled to their Ilu. Lo'ak as well, I dropped the object and quickly followed him. Lo'ak's ilu was waiting for us at the end of the dock and we started to sattle it up. Only to be caught by Neteyam.

"No way you're rolling out of here baby bro, little sib." He said

"We have to warn Paykan about the pingers." Lo'ak replied

"No. You guys got to keep your skxwang asses here" Neteyam said, stepping closer

"He's outcast. There's nobody to warn him but us." I explained

Neteyam then put his hand on Lo'ak's head giving him a lopsided smile.

"Bro, why do you two always have to make things so hard?" He asked Lo'ak

"Bro, why do you two always have to make things so hard?" He asked Lo'ak

My blood boiled as Lo'ak glared and pushed Neteyam's hand off his head.

"No. You mean why can't we be the prefect siblings like you? The perfect little soldiers!?" Lo'ak shouted

"WELL WE AREN'T YOU! OK?! We aren't you." I shouted at Neteyam who was doing his best not to be angry

"He's my brother! We're going!" Lo'ak said

We started walking towards the end of the dock but Neteyam followed behind Lo'ak.

"Oh, he's your brother?!" Neteyam asked before he pulled Lo'ak back by his arm "No I'M your brother!" He said through gritted teeth

"Get off me!" Lo'ak said pulling away as he looked at me.

"Lo'ak! Ayden!" Tsireya and Ao'nung called, climbing up on the dock from their Ilu

We both looked at them before running and jumping off the dock. Ignoring their calls as we mounted his Ilu. Lo'ak quickly made Tsaheylu and we rode off to find Payakan.
