After hearing what she said, Lo'ak pulled Aila aside, "you can't do that, I won't let you." He stated.

"You don't get to make my decision" Aila replied.

"Aila, but what about being Tsahik?" Lo'ak questioned.

"I didn't want it anyway. I never did. Lo'ak I love you and I don't want anything else, but you."

Lo'ak had no words, he just stood there. No words forming. He saw Aila's gaze land on her mother.

"We will be leaving now." Aila stated.

"No, you stay here." Ronal demanded.

Aila rolled her eyes and sighed. Lo'ak could feel she was annoyed and didn't want to be here anymore.

"Does anybody know?" Ronal questioned.

"My parents and siblings ma'am." Lo'ak replied.

Ronal turned to Jake and Neytiri who were standing behind them, silent.

"You knew?" Ronal questioned, her anger rising.

"Yes" Jake replied.

"And we gave you shelter. We gave you a home and now you bring war to us and didn't tell us this, about our daughter?"

"We are sorry, but they asked us not to tell." Jake answered.

Ronal rubbed in between her brows and turned back to Aila.

"What about Niri'te?" She questioned.

"I never wanted him. You choose him for me. I didn't love him. I wouldn't have been happy with him." Aila said her voice growing louder.

"We chose what was best for you and if you mated with him you wouldn't have mated with a non-Metkayian."

"Best for me? Isn't that my decision?"

"No it is not, you are no longer my daughter." Ronal stated.

Aila lowered her head, "we will be leaving now."

Aila grabbed Lo'ak's hand and started to walk out. Lo'ak looked at his parents and gave them a slight smile as he followed Aila out of the hut.

They walked along the shoreline, watching the eclipse fall.

"Can I take you somewhere?" Aila sniffled.

"Anywhere, I will follow."

Aila smirked as she turned around to Lo'ak, a few tears falling down her face.

"I'm sorry." Lo'ak said as he caressed Aila's cheek, wiping away her tears

"It's okay, all I need is you."

As they started to step into the ocean and call for their Ilus, Aila heard a familiar voice call out for her.

"Tsireya?" Aila questioned as she turned around.

Tsireya ran up to Aila and hugged her, "I'm so so sorry." She said.

"It's okay, but I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

"I should've told you, you shouldn't have had to hear it from Aonung. But I was just scared of how you would react because I know how you feel about him."

"Aila! But it's okay I knew he would choose you, who wouldn't"

"What?? Anyone would be lucky to have you and they would always choose you over me."

"Tell that to him," Tsireya said looking at Lo'ak.

"What? I'm confused." Lo'ak stated.

"Oh yeah. Do you mind if I tell him Reya?"

"No it's not like it matters anyway now. You two lovebirds."

"Skxawng, but me and Reya were seeing which one of us you would pick because we both had feelings for you."

"Oh, I'm sorry I never knew Reya had feelings for me." Lo'ak stated.

Aila turned back to Reya and rolled her eyes as she sighed. "Boys are stupid, anyone could tell you were clearly interested in him." Aila said as she slightly elbowed Tsireya.

"Skxawng. I see the Ilus where are y'all two going" Tsireya questioned as she elbowed Aila back.

"One of my special places."

"Ohh we'll have fun you two lovebirds" tsireya stated as she hugged Aila and walked off leaving the two alone.

Aila rolled her eyes.

"Should we go?"

"Yes ma'am."

Both Aila and Lo'ak got fully into the water and got onto their ilus. Lo'ak didn't know where they were going but he would follow Aila anywhere, even to the end of the earth.
