Na'li pov~
They jumped into the water so perfect and then my siblings all crazy I just stood there "come Na'li it's okay" kiri said knowing I was a bit skeptical "ok fine" I said as I jumped in not as crazy. I opened my eyes to see the beauty and then followed tsireya "come swim with us" she signed and I knew since some people in the lab thought me at a young age my siblings ofc didn't know it since they never had much time to learn it "they don't know sign language" they looked shocked but anoung signed first "how do you know?" "I learned at a young age" "well that's good we won't have to teach you but them" I point up and go

"ahh Na'li don't scare us like that" I look at tuk "I'm sorry tuk" I then look over to the rest who came up "we don't speak this finger talk" "it's ok we will teach you" I knew anoung was gonna say something so I turned to him "your not very good at swimming maybe swimming trough trees" he was stopped as tsireya smacked him "do not" I just sigh "kiri where's kiri?" "Who?" I swim away and see her peacefully playing with fish I then turned away and swam back up "she's fine we should go back I'll go get her" they soon start swimming away and I swim back to kiri I wave at her to follow we soon are up and soon we learn to ride

"These are ilus if you want to live here you will have to learn to ride" a blue dark ilu came up to me and I just softly pet it "I see he has chosen you ilu can have different riders but will have a favorite" he said "okay anoung teach her rotxo teach kiri and I will teach lo'ak and neteyam" she then turned and showed lo'ak but he failed miserably I just sighed while anoung laughed and tsireya giggled but hid it behind her hand "alr Na'li your turn" I turned to the ilu and jumped on the ilu "ok fix your leg and grab here" he touched my thigh to fix my leg " ok now make staheylu" I grabbed my braid made staheylu "feel his breathing his heartbeat now tell him where to go" he then moved slowly and then a bit faster and I saw how beautiful it was 'alr let's go back vex' it chirped and went back up "yeah you got Na'li" said neteyam "hm you were better than lo'ak"

Time skip to when they learn to breath

"The way of water has no beginning and no end
the sea is around you and in you
The sea is your home before your birth and after ...your death.
Our hearts beat in the womb of the world
our breaths burn in the shadows of the deep
The sea gives and the sea takes
Water ties everything together.
Life to death
Light to darkness " We all took it in and she then places her hand on lo'aks chest and stomach "your heart is fast slow it down lo'ak" he just sits there alll flustered but ends up being to slow it down. I just smile and breath in slowly I then feel hands on my chest and stomach I open my eyes and see it's anoung so I just close my eyes again "breathe from your stomach" I just listen and do it "you know your not helping your distracting me with your cold ass hands" he then removes them "well I guess that's all tomorrow we will teach y'all sign

Time skip to night

I sigh and stare at the beautiful ocean 'I wonder if there near' I shake my head to get rid of those negative thoughts but more come 'will he hurt us?' 'Will I die protecting them?' 'Are we safe???' "Hey are you ok?" I turn around and see anoung "I'm fine what do need you wouldn't just come to ask that" I replied quite coldly "hey I just wanted to talk and see if you wanted to come and ride with me?" I looked at him skeptically and I seem to have made it obvious "I won't hurt you now come" he started walking and I just followed

"So why do you cover your face?" I just look away "I was uh abused by my biological father my mother had died and uh um he blamed me even though I knew she died at war but Jake had gotten him exiled from the clan and saved me but before he had hurt me really badly which is how I got this scar" "oh I'm sorry" he said but it sounded real "why do treat us like that?" "Like what??" "Like shit like freaks like someone who doesn't belong here or the forest" as I point to my hair

"BECAUSE IM AFRAID IF CHANGE ok I'm afraid that if I allow change it will get hurt" I just stare and I let him rant "I feel a lot of pressure since I'm the next oloeyktan and I feel like I can't let them down and I feel like I can't put my emotions and that my people are first" I just turned my whole body to face him and grab his hand "you need to worry about yourself more you need to take care sometimes you need to be a bit selfish not a lot and still worry about your people" and I grabbed his hand and he grabbed it back and looks at me " thank you" I just nod

He was gonna say something but stops as we hear a voice "NA'LI?!" " oh it's kiri Im over here kiri!" I look at him " oh hey- ohh my god hi anoung uh what what were y'all doing?" I just glare at her " nothing kiri now let's go" I told her and she just turns around starts walking I turn around and look at him "well bye I guess" I get off the ilu and wave goodbye at him "bye Na'li" he whispers
