Mune Olo'eyktan [Neteyam x Aonung]

Part 3

Underwater, Tsireya searches for her brother and the others.

Soon she finds Lo'ak with a few fish attached to his side. Not far behind him comes Neteyam.

Lo'ak stops in front of her but she wastes no time and points upward, sending them to the surface, while she continues to look for Aonung and Rotxo.

An unknown amount of time later, she finally spots the two boys swimming towards her. She signs "What were you thinking, bringing them here?" He rolls eyes and motions "It was just a little competition." She shakes her head, and turns to head back to the shore.

Aonung and Rotxo follow behind her, but when they reach the surface, the waves are raging, and the sky is pouring.

They quickly look around for the shore and see the others a short distance away.

They struggle, but manage to escape the rough waters and pull themselves onto the rocky beach. The Sullys run over to them.

Lo'ak helps Tsireya up.

Lo'ak- Are you okay?

Tsireya- I am fine, but our Ilu are nowhere in sight.

They each look out at the raging waters. Neteyam goes knee deep into the water, calling for his Ilu. Kiri and Lo'ak follow his lead and call for theirs.

The Metkayina kids observe from a distance, knowing there's no way the Ilu will be able to hear them over the storm.

Tsireya walks over to Lo'ak and gently grabs his arm.

Tsireya- They won't hear you in this storm. We must wait it out.

Lo'ak brushes Tsireya's hand off of him and continues to call as his brother does. Tsireya looks over at Rotxo, who had a similar reaction from Kiri.

Aonung walks up to Neteyam, who keeps wandering deeper into the water.

The wind nearly makes him slip, but Aonung grabs his wrist.

Aonung- Hey! Get out of the water, before it takes you away.

Neteyam snatches his arm away and pushes Aonung back from him with a glare.

Neteyam- Where was that concern when you decided to take us out here?

Aonung doesn't respond, unsure of what exactly to say, and just as Neteyam steps closer to him, Tsireya intervenes before things escalate.

She places her hand on Aonung's chest, gently pushing him back. He takes the hint and walks back over to Rotxo.

Tsireya- This is no time for fighting. We must stick together while we wait for the Ilu to return. Please try to get along with my brother.

Neteyam looks at his siblings: They're watching him and awaiting his decision. He looks back at Tsireya and nods, which pleases her.

They each come together and begin to look for shelter. They may not get along, but they know in order to make it back home okay they'll have to rely on each other.

As the storm rages on, gradually getting worse, their parents are wondering why the kids haven't already returned to the village.

And their worries only worsen when the kids' Ilu return home without them.
