We Meet On The Beach

chapter 1 Tsaheyli pov

I flow through the sky my soul at peace even though I was in a place that was anything but peaceful watching the wreckage below I can see my people talking the weapons I was higher than everyone else it was not necessarily safe but was a necessary job no protection up there my father was not to happy about his daughter being there but had expected it after a scolding from his wife

Watching my mother with her arrow was mesmerizing she had trained me to use my own but still she was better than me and I doubted  would ever be better

Then I spot it my little brothers look I love them with all my heart but they can be the most annoying things in my life lo'ak seems to only think after he has done something stupid and neyetam always gets dragged in

"The idiots"  I growl under my breath as they land on the ground I quickly follow pulling my Knife out on to my side it was stunning a wooden handle woven carvings on the end and the sharp glass would reflect different colors it was stunning I keep it on a holder on my thigh for easy access

"You don't even know how to use it"said neyetam once I get to them I see lo'ak with a gun

"You 2 I swear to eywa if you don't get back on your ikran right now and go I will push you off a clif"they both jump at my words

"Don't stress Ti-ti"said lo'ak

Before I can respond there is a loud bang I am thrown against some rocks

she can feel a horrible pain rush through my spine

Then black filled my eyes that last thing I heard was her father calling my name desperation and fear filling him those emotion were very scares I never heard them 

Waking in my grandmother tent my siblings voice filled my ears I opened my eyes blinking a bit getting used to the dull light

"Ti-ti"said tuk throwing herself on her on me 

"Calm sister I am fine"I says sitting up I look around the room my brothers were covered in cuts kiri had tear stained on her cheeks tuk eyes were watery I gave them all a smile making them all relax

Then I spotted spider I wasn't close to the boy at all I always had a wall between them my smile falter for a moment then I looked to my grandmother

"How do you feel"said mo'at walking over

"Fine"I said rubbing tuk back

"How do you really feel"said mo'at after getting the rest of her grandchildren to leave more like shoving them out she knew how her eldest grandchild can be often hiding her pain so not to make many worry about her

yeah that isn't goin g to work on her

"My lower back hurts but I think it's fine"I say forcing a smile on to my face hiding pai is easy if you konw how to do it I know and I am the master at it

"Hm I thought I taught you better than that"my grandmother said rasing my from her spot grabbing some herbs and paste

I had been doing some training with my grandmother for a couple years us two had grown close during these lessons even before it was clear I was my grandmother's favorite I thin it's becasue I 'm like my mother or that I like to learn about everything and everyone

"Grandmother"I say hestinal but I thin ki'm going to have to asks this Eventually

"Yes"she answers While putting some pastes on my back were a bruise was forming.

"Is father mad"I say Incidentally, my dad has a tendency for you man. a little bit over dramatic at times, I think. But that's just my opinion.

"No" She said sharply, shoving some more pastes into my back, making me wients slightly
