Lei'wa's pov: I wake up. Lo'ak is there. Picking up little plants out of the ground. "What?" He asks. "Nothing. Just a dream I was having." I say, shaking and holding my head. "A dream," He smiles and sits down next to me. "About me?" He giggles at me trying to explain how it wasn't like that. I explain to him what my dream was and reassure him that what I said might not be my answer and that we'll see. "How long has it been by the way?" I ask. "Well, you've been here for three weeks already. Every single time i've came here, you're asleep." My eyes are wider then ever. "I've been asleep for three weeks?!" Lo'ak stares in shock. "So you weren't pretending to be asleep to avoid me?" I shake my head. "I still have a couple of things to get from the village. Come with me and come back with me?" I ask. He nods. We go to the village. Everyone has gathered even though it is night. Tonowari walks up. "Have you choose-" I cut him off. "I'm here for my things." And I walk away. I see Aonung's new mate picking up my things to give them to me since she probably heard me talk about them. "Here you are!" I tell her thank you and that I was sorry she had to be with Aonung. "I hate him so much. He is so rude to me and he's a spoiled mama's boy." She says. "What's your name?" I ask her. "Ma'fwei. My name is Ma'fwei." She says. I shake her hand with my free one. "Lei'wa. I'm Lei'wa." She nods, smiles, and goes back. Tsireya walks up to me. She's in tears. "For some reason I'm just finding out that Naóko died in the war." She says. Neteyam walks up, along with Jake, Neytiri, Kiri, Tuk, and Lo'ak. Tsireya was promised to Naóko, and she liked him alot. Lo'ak and I hug her and tell her that it will all be okay. She eventually stops. "Have you choosen?" Jake asks. I shake my head while watching Tsireya go back to her home. Aonung walks up. "There's the golden girl. Where've you been?" He asked. I walk away. Lo'ak behind me. We leave. I put my things away and Lo'ak tells me that he might like someone else. My best friend. Tsireya. I nod. Aonung comes as Lo'ak leaves. "So he told you?" I nod. He sits down next to me. "It will be fine." Why is he being nice to me? "I was wondering if you would take me to the Omaticaya village. I want to see what it is like." I look at him.

"How would we get there, though?" He asked. I smile as I get up. I call Sanža. "Tam tam Sanža." I calm her. "This thing is cool. What is the name?" He looks at Sanža's wings. "Her name is Sanža. She is an Ikran. And if we stay long enough, you can get your own Ikran." He chuckles. I hear people in the distance coming closer. It is Tsireya, Rotxo, and Neteyam. Neteyam comes closer but Tsireya and Rotxo stay back.  Tsireya runs behind me, to hide. "She's not going to hurt you." I say. "She's really cool and chill." Aonung says.
Aonung's pov: "Why is he here?" Neteyam asks Lei'wa. "He wants to go to your village to see what it is like." She says. "Does he know that-" She nods. "Yes. He does know he needs to prove to the people he is capable of staying there and doing their activities." Neteyam sniffs and rubs his nose. "We will leave tomorrow." Lei'wa says. I look at Tsireya. "Can you tell mom and dad that I'm going to the Omaticaya village with Lei'wa?" Tsireya nods. Her and Rotxo leave. The Sully freak stays. I look at Sanža. Her eyes are yellow. Kind of like the Sully family's eyes.

I look at Lei'wa. "Do not look her in the eye." She says. I look down. "I will go get some of my things and be back. Hopefully." I say. She laughs, showing her dimples. The first time I've ever made her smile. The first time she's smiled because of me. I smile back and leave.
Lei'wa's pov: I look at Neteyam and walk to a bush that I store stuff in. "What is that?" He walks up. I hold the meat I will feed Sanža it up to him. "No, the look you gave me just then. What was it?" I shrug and go to feed Sanža. "What is happening between us, Lei?" Neteyam asks. "Ask yourself that, Neteyam." He scoffs. "No more nicknames?" I shake my head. "The way you acted that day was ridiculously unnecessary." I complain. He leaves. Aonung comes back. "My mother disagrees and now she is after me which means." He wants me to finish his sentence. "We've got to go." He nods. I put our things on Sanža's carrier's on her sides. I get onto Sanža. "What are you waiting for? Get on!" Aonung stares. "With you?" I pull him on. Sanža starts to fly. Ronal is screaming at us from below. Aonung wraps his arms around me. "Is it always this scary?" He asks, burying his head into my neck looking down at his mother chasing us in the water. "No, you are just a wuss." I say, while taking a sharp turn that's going to get us away from Ronal. Out of her sight. He holds on tighter. "It is okay. Now stop squeezing me, it hurts." He laughs and lets loose a bit. It took us a couple of days to get there. By a couple of days I mean a day and a half. "We're here." I stay, landing infront of the people. The gather and hiss at Aonung. "He is with me!" I shout at them. They look at me, knowing what I'll ask next. They point to where she is. I run, Aonung behind me. I see Mo'at and hug her really tightly. "Who us this you've brought?" She looks at Aonung. "This is Aonung. I was promised to him but things changed and I'm trying to figure out who will be my next mate." I say to her. "Well who are your options?" She asks. I gulp. "Lo'ak and Neteyam." I say. She stares. "Who will you choose?" She asks. "That's the problem. I don't know." She nods. "Also. We were wondering, if I could teach Aonung the way of the people so he could finally climb a tree and have an ikran?" She nods. She shows us where we will stay. "Get rest. It is dark." She walks off. "She did this on purpose. Didn't she?" Aonung asks. I laugh while nodding. "I will help you." I climb the tree branches one by one. "Follow what I do." I say. He does. We eventually get there. "You just climbed your first tree." I say. He smiles. His cute creepy smile. I hold on to the branch as I hop down to lay down. He does the same.

He gets settled in.

"Is it comfortable?" I ask. He nods. "Just wait for tomorrow. You've alot of learning to do." He sighs and lays his head down, closing his eyes. I smile and close mine, too. Soon enough, I was asleep.
