Two From Different Worlds ( ATWOW FANFIC )

Aonung & A Skimwing

Akira's POV

I stood there watching Tuk try for the third time. She was getting much better at it than her brothers. She managed to stay on longer. I turned my head to look at Lo'ak on his 7th time. Yes...he still can't manage to stay on. Neteyam was also getting better. Neteyam was on his 5th time. I gave Lo'ak a thumbs up before he shot off. I cringed as he fell off after a while. At least he managed to stay on for about a minute...yes...I'm counting.

" Hey." I spun around to see Aonung approaching me.

" Hi?" I smiled. He walked up to me.

" So, congrats on getting the hang of riding an ilu on your first time," he said.

" Thanks."

He took a breath. " You should try a tsurak."

" You mean a skimwing?" I asked as I pointed to Jake, a few meters away, trying to learn to ride a skimwing. Aonung nodded.

" Really? I thought they were for warriors," I told him. He laughed a bit.

" Come, it'll be a good try," he said as he called one over. I saw a vein popped out as he held the creature. I hesitated, wanted to argue, but I remembered Jake saying he wanted no trouble. Plus, I don't really want to argue with the chief's son, so I went ahead.

I mounted and made the bond. Just as the bond was made, the creature shot off at a fast speed. I screamed, surprised by the sudden movement.

" AKIRA!" I heard Jake yell as he and Tonowari came to a halt.

 I yelped as she jumped up and dived down into the water. I hit a bunch off corals, feeling a sharp pain at my arm, and fell off. My vision blurred for a second, and when it cleared, I saw the skimwing heading towards me. I held out my arm and managed to grab onto her.  She swam towards the surface and spread her wings. I managed to stay on this time. And soon, I was riding a skimwing, a creature made for warriors. I smiled brightly.

" WOOHOO!" I yelled in excitement as she jumped up and dived. Yes! I didn't fall off! We swam back towards the land. I jumped off her and Aonung rushed towards me.

" I'm so sorry," he said as he looked at my arm, " Are you ok?"

I looked at my arm, a red line was on it. It wasn't deep, nor serious, just a long light scratch. People was starting to gather. Ronal appeared. Jake and Tonowari got out from the water as Jake ran towards me. Neteyam came first. Neteyam shoved Aonung away as he checked my arm.

" I'm going to kill him," he muttered harshly. I grabbed his arm.

" I'm fine."

" Kira, oh my god! That scratch is huge!" Lo'ak exclaimed. He glared at Aonung angrily.

" I'm fine! Really!"

I rolled my eyes when my comment fell on deaf ears.

" You allowed this?" Ronal said harshly to her son.

" I'm sorry mother, I just wanted to have fun," Aonung said, his head down.

" Come, I will tend to your wound," Ronal told me and gestured for me to follow. I sighed. Jake gave me a look and I did as told.
