Hi, sorry for the delay. I've been resting from my trip to Australia and have been writing a travel journey about the trip. Now I'm back online. Enjoy the chapter. By the way, there are some humming and vocalising words which I do not own. And they are part of a song which I will use later in the story. Credit doesn't go to me. It goes to Disney. I just thought it would fit in well with the theme of the story. I've seen other writers do it and a friend said we were allowed.

The bullies remained frozen where they were. "I really don't believe it," whispered Aonung.
"But if they're here? Where are Atuiko and Sylwa?" Roxto wondered.
"I guess we follow them," said Aonung.
Unknowst to them, their whispers weren't undetected.

As Lo'ak hugged him, Tsu'tey's ears flicked up and he began growling. The bullies hid behind the rocks, holding their ilus' mouths shut tight. The Taquamare began to growl.
"What is it, buddy?" asked Lo'ak, letting go.
Tsu'tey walked forward, his nostrils sniffling. I smell something over there. Lo'ak looked towards the rocks. I smell...
Splash. The water splashed. Tsu'tey growled at the water. HE shot a dart. Some blood drifted up.
"What was that?' asked Lo'ak.
A giant Colosquila. Very nasty things with tentacles. We must go back to the others. I'm not gonna let that thing pull you to the bottom of the ocean.
Lo'ak mounted Tsu'tey and they galloped across the water at a fast pace. Once they were several leagues away, the boys peeped out again. "Let's follow them," instructed Aonung. "But keep your distance,"
Once they were a good distance away, Tsu'tey sank into the water but kept his head and Lo'ak above it. He had been running all day and he wanted to relax his legs. As they did, Lo'ak heard a strange humming and realised it was his spirit brother doing it.
Mmm, mmm
Ah, ah
"What are you singing?" asked Lo'ak curiously.
'Something my mother sang to me all the time. I don't know if you recall but she sang it when we were asleep. The night she brought you to our cave. You just couldn't understand it'.
Lo'ak went into deep thought again. He suddenly remembered Tsu'tey's mother did sound like she was humming. something when they slept. He just couldn't understand her. His spirit brother continued singing. To those who wouldn't understand the singing of a taquamare, all they'd hear was humming and vocalising but to him, the melodies were conveying a deep message of how wild uncharted waters connected all things. Peoples. Lands. Skies. In a way, it seemed to hold a deep meaning like the Way of Water which Tsireya had taught to him and his family.
Lo'ak shed a tear. "That was beautiful,"
'She sang it to me every night when we felt alone. My father sang it to her. It's a song passed down through our species for years. It teaches us how the waters of our world connect us all, drawing us to one another. Just like how the water drew me to you.
"Sounds just like the Way of Water which the Sea Navi have taught me and my family. You really have no idea where the other Taquamares are?"
'I searched and searched for years but I found none. Not even any trace of the rest of my family. If they're alive
