"They do not know the sea, so they will be like babies taking their first breath. Teach them our ways so they do not suffer the shame of being useless."

Neytiri winced before her mate, Jake had comforted her with the idea they had a home.
And no longer needed to run.

"My children Tsireya, Ao'nung and... would be please to show you and your children around." Tonowari says not mentioning Etstukä name due to not seeing her anywhere.

Etstukä POV

I sat on the sand like every other day, looking far out into the ocean. My fingers roamed through the wet sand below me as I hummed the songs my mother would always sing to Aonung and I before we went to bed.

"Tukä!" I heard Tsireya call from behind me. I stopped humming, turning around swiftly.
"What's wrong, Reya?" I asked, Tsireya choosing to kneel down next to me.

"Aonung and I are gonna go teach the forest boys how to ride an Ilu! Wanna join us?" she asked, tilting her head slightly to the right. I roll my eyes, my gaze returning to the grain below my bare skin.

"No thanks Reya," I sighed, drawing symbols in the sand with my index finger. "I think mother would really appreciate with some sort of help with Toruk Makto and his wife."

"Lies," Tsireya scoffed. I glared at her, eyebrows raised. "Just come! It'll be fun. We can laugh at them when they get sent to the sky because they don't know how to ride one properly." I chuckled softly, looking back at the ground once again, that does sound like fun.

"Ugh, Fine," I agreed. Tsireya squealed, clapping softly in excitement. "Lets go then! They're waiting for us back at the reef." I stood up and Tsireya grabbed onto my wrist and started running dragging me along with her until we got to the main beach, where I saw the two forest boys, Aonung and Rotxo standing there, waiting for Tsireya and I.

"Finally, what took you so long" Aonung said to me as Aonung walk towards me as Tsireya went with the forest kids. When Aonung reaches us, he puts his arm around my neck "I can't believe you left me with the forest kids" Aonung said to me I chuckle rolling my eye playfully with a little smile on my face.

" You can just admit you missed me" I tease my brother knowing we haven't been separated that long in a while "okay I missed you" Aonung says as he rolls his eyes playfully and I laugh at how easily he admitted that he had missed me.

Me and Aonung were standing just a couple of feet away from the forest kids you wouldn't be able to hear us if you weren't paying attention by if you were intentionally trying to listen, you'll be able to hear everything.
