MOON RIVER | Ao'nung

chapter three.

˚.༄

Training the young hunters came easy for Neyali. Tuk would cheer for them when they would hit their target and Neyali would simply shake her head in amusement.

As soon as the class was over Neyali took Tuk back home.

The two girls were met with Lo'ak, Kiri, and Spider.

"How was the lab?" Neyali asked as she greeted Spider.

"It would have been better if you had come with us" Lo'ak answered.

"You know I couldn't"

"I guess you'll just have to make it up to me somehow" Lo'ak said as he put his hand over his heart

"How would you like me to make it up to you Lo'ak?" Neyali asked as she rolled her eyes as subtle as she could.

"By coming with us to the forest?" Lo'ak asked as he put his best puppy dog eyes for his sister.

"Absolutely not" Neyali immediately answered.

"Yali come on, please?"

"Those eyes won't work on me" Neyali commented and Lo'ak huffed before turning to look at his youngest sister. 

Tuk  immediately understood and tugged on Neyali's hand "Please Yali"

Neyali's eye's softened as she stared at her baby sister,  but she quickly shook her head.

"No way Lo'ak. Dad put me in charge of you guys, and it's too dangerous to go out there right now"

Lo'ak tried to reason with his sister "How dangerous could it be? You're gonna be with us, and it will only be for a little"

Neyali turned to look at Kiri, who had been silent.

"Kiri?"

Kiri shrugged her shoulders "could be fun"

Neyali stayed quiet for a moment "What about Tuk? We can't take her"

Tuk looked up at her sister "What? Why not? Please?"

"Tuk" Neyali tried to reason "What if you get hurt?"

Tuk quickly shook her head "I won't I promise, please I wanna go"

Neyali thought about it for a moment, until she slowly nodded her head and Lo'ak instantly let out a quiet 'yes'.

"We're coming back before eclipse and mom and dad will never hear about this, am I clear?" 

Lo'ak was a little intimidated by his sisters tone, but nodded his head non the less "yes ma'am"

"Take the comms" Neyali said as she went over to grab her bow, she handed Lo'aks his as well.

With that the three Na'vis and Spider walked out of the home and headed towards the forest.

˚.༄

The four had only been in the forest for a short time, when Lo'ak had the bright idea to go to the battle field.

"Come on" Lo'ak urged Spider to clime faster to look at the abandoned helicopter that was hanging in one of the trees.
