"Aonung, you know my parents have to help fight the sky people. We all have to go to protect the Metkayina."
Tears swelled in his eyes, "ok, but you'll come back, right?"
"I will." You hugged him tightly.
"I'll wait at this rock, where we always hung out, meet me there when you come back. Promise?"
"I promise." You held on tighter.
Aonung handed you a bracelet, "I have one too, so you won't forget me."
"I'llnever forget you, Aonung. I'll never take it off, I swear on my life."
He smiled, "best friends forever?" He whispered.
"Best friends forever." You replied.

It has been five years since the battle between the sky people that your parents helped fight in. You had to make your journey back to the Metkayina.
You'd been exploring Pandora since the sky people had murdered your parents in battle. Horns were heard, welcoming your long due return back. You landed on the reef. The Metkayina surrounding you before Tonowari and Ronal walked towards you.
"Y/n. It has been some time. I'm glad you've finally returned after all these years."
"Thank you, Tonowari. It is a pleasure seeing you all once again." You gestured towards them both as a sign of respect.
"We heard the news about your parents. Our deepest apologies." Ronal nodded her head slowly towards you.
"Thank you, Ronal."
"Come, y/n. We must get you to meet someone special, as well as telling us of your adventures away."

"Wait...y/n?!?" You turned your head to see Tsireya, your eyes grew as she ran towards you, embracing you in a hug. "It's been so long!"
"I've missed you, Tsireya!"
"I've missed you, too! You must come swim with me. There is so much to tell you." You both dived in from the reef and your surroundings suddenly became familiar.
