As everyone started to leave, my attention shifted to Lo'ak, who seemed to be heading towards the sea. Suspicion filled me, and I exchanged glances with Neteyam. We both followed closely behind Lo'ak, swiftly catching up with him as we observed him saddling up his Ilu.
"Lo'ak, where are you going?"
I questioned him, my voice rang with concern.
"I'm going to warn Payakan."
He stated firmly.
"No. You've gotta keep your skxang ass here."
Neteyam ordered Lo'ak.
"There's nobody to warn him but me."
Lo'ak tried to reason.
Neteyam playfully tapped Lo'ak on the head and made a smart comment.
"Why do you always have to make things hard?"
"Neteyam!"
I snarled at his comment, aiming to defuse the tension.
Lo'ak, irritated, smacked Neteyam's hand away furiously.
"No. You mean why can't I be the perfect son like you?"
He replied, pointing at Neteyam, who held his ground, clearly frustrated.
"Both of you need to stop."
I intervened, standing in the middle and reaching my hands out in front of them.
"Perfect little soldier boy. Well, I'm not you!"
Lo'ak pushed against my hand and pointed at Neteyam, who stood firm, his frustration evident.
"Lo'ak, let's just go back and figure things out."
I suggested, but he simply ignored me and continued speaking.
"No. His my brother. I'm going."
Lo'ak remained determined, turning away from us with a dismissive gesture.
Neteyam's anger surged, his ears flattening back, and his tail flicking with agitation.
"No, I'm your brother."
He shouted back at Lo'ak, gripping Lo'ak's arm firmly.
Suddenly, Tsireya and Ao'nung emerged from the surface, catching us all off guard. Before we could react, Lo'ak took the opportunity to dive into the water, leaving us behind.
"Lo'ak!"
Neteyam and I yell in unison, our voices filled with concern.
Neteyam glanced back at me with determination, reaching for my hand. We moved closer to the edge of the netted pathway, yelping and clapping our hands to signal for our Ilu's.
"Lo'ak!"
Tuk called out as she waved, but Lo'ak ignored her.
"Lo'ak."
Kiri said with a confused tone.
"Lo'aks going to find Payakan."
Neteyam shouted over the light rain that had started under the cloudy sky.
Together, we pursued Lo'ak, determined to bring him back. Moving swiftly underwater, we did our best to catch up with him. As we approached an opening, we saw Payakan rising from the water, his attention drawn to Lo'ak's frantic waving.
