My love ~ Neteyam Sully x oc

31.

It's been a week since Kiri woke up. Everything was going smoothly. Kiri regained her strength, Ivä was one step closer to being Tsahik, Neteyam and her were happy, and the friend group was getting along just fine.

What could go wrong?

It was a rainy day, and Ivä and Neteyam were in their Mauri. Ivä was making dinner while Neteyam was tidying up. They were laughing and making jokes, having fun.

Until they saw Tonowari appear at the doorway. Neteyam and Ivä stopped talking when they saw a serious look on his face. Neteyam bowed his head with respect. Tonowari did the gesture back before looking at Ivä.

"Father." Ivä said bowing her head while walking away from the kitchen.

"Ivä, Neteyam, may I come in?" Tonowari asked looking between the both of them.

"Yes, please come in. It's raining." Ivä said gesturing for them all to sit at the dinning table.

Once they all say and got settled Tonowari cleared his throat.

"Ivä, I'm telling you this because you are next Tsahik. Meaning you need to know what to do in these situations in the future." Tonowari said.

"Yes of course father, what is it?" Ivä asked eager to know.

"There is a village that was set to flames earlier today." Tonowari said looking towards Neteyam, then back to Ivä.

Neteyam felt his stomach twist and turn. He knew that was obviously the sky people. He felt guilty because they were looking for his dad. And he couldn't really do anything about it. He heard Ivä let out a gasp which make him feel even worse since this is her home, his family brought this war here, ruining their peace.

"They were avatars. And a human who speaks Navi." Tonowari said looking down. 

Spider.. Neteyam thought to himself. He started to get anxious as he thought about all the bad things that were going to happen. He didn't notice that his leg was bouncing hysterically, causing Ivä to put her hand on his knee.
It calmed him down, but he was still anxious.

"I have already told your father, Neteyam.
They are looking for him." Tonowari said looking towards Neteyam.

"Did they kill anybody?" Neteyam asked looking down, feeling too guilty to look him in the eye.

"Not yet." Tonowari said, letting out a sigh.

"My people will not tell where y'all are. My orders." Tonowari said to Neteyam, trying to make him feel better.

"Thank you sir." Neteyam said, earning a nod from Tonowari.

"Well, is there anything we can do?" Ivä asked frowning.

"We can warn the people. Keep them indoors for now. As we know, war is coming. Be prepared." Tonowari said sighing again. He was very stressed out.

Tonowari stood up and started for the door.

"If you need anything, you know where to find me. Which will be right by Ronal, calming her down." Tonowari said with a chuckle before leaving.

"Are you ok?" Ivä asked Neteyam, since his leg was still bouncing.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just stressed." Neteyam said putting his hand onto of Ivä's.

"Well we will be just fine. Don't worry." Ivä said with a smile before giving him a hug.

The rain had stopped, although it was still gloomy outside. Ivä and Neteyam finished their dinner and were just hanging out.

Ivä decided to go check on Ronal and her siblings. She gave Neteyam a quick peck on the lips before heading towards her families Mauri.
