The Arrival

★彡[ɴᴏ ᴏɴᴇ'ꜱ ᴘᴏᴠ]彡★

The smell of herbs filled the air, as the people of the Metkayina went on with their duties. The voices filling each hunt with the combo of laughter. Glass bottles were filled with herbs as healers spoke of the tulkun's far return.

Although one of the metkayina woman in the clan had not a acted like the others. Her turquoise hand's moved in a circular motion crushing the greenish herb that slowly became chunky. The water within it nearly gone. Her eyes glued to the sea rather than anything else. She was broken from her concentration as hand captured the girls view from the clear sea. Her faced whipped to the right as she meet the gaze of a familiar woman, her mother Ronal.

She held the bowl of water, slowly pouring it into the grinder as the sounds of wooden clicking filled the healers pod. The woman's mouth opened as she began to put the water down, "What is on your mind Irya?"Ronal's eye's inspected her daughters face,as her fingers ran through the girls thick coil curls.

•Swirya's nickname is Irya

"Nothing mother, I was just thinking."Swirya's eyes finally reached the older woman's turquoise eyes. Although the girl was able to cover up many things for people, it was rather impossible to hide it from her mother.

All the woman could do was rather laugh at her daughters quickness to answer as she finally stopped her fingers from brushing the girl's hair once more. The eyes of her daughter had widden at the sudden chuckle leaving the woman's mouth. The laughter was finally cut short as the frequent breathing caught on.

Her hands reached for the salt water and poured it within the grinder once more. Once the woman was able to compose her self she sighed responding the the confusion on her face. "Swirya I know you better than that, to say that your fine or rather say nothing." The tsahik met eyes with the rather smaller figure Infront of her.

Before the figure had a chance to respond.

A horn was blown.

Now to believe that everything could change in seconds was well to believe false!

But this horn was rather frequent, neither stopping.

It was like the clan went silent. The gossip from the fellow healer to the hunters returning from the sea. No one dared to move an inch. As their ears perked up. Flapping wings in the distance, it wasn't rather a skimwing as their wings flap in curtain ways.

Just like that the clan returned from their frozen state as they all began to rise from the floor. Many children and Ilu's approaching the sand levels as, herbs were scattered from their places as chatter arose from the sea of people. The healers leaving their places of work,to follow the sound that was mysterious onto them.

To believe something new came onto the metkayina was a false idea.

Although the reality was that it did.

Ronal set down the bowl of water as she began to rise from the floor. She out stretched her hand for her eldest child to join her as more of the metkayina left their mauri pods. The youth rested her hand within her mothers, before she knew it she was out of the pod that held her responsibilities.

As she took a deep breath seeing the sights of metkayina whispering and crowds forming even more. Warriors holding up their spears and daggers. Her tail curled slightly as her body became to tense up. Ronal on the other hand had been moving freely urging to know what the commotion was and what had happened amongst her people.
