𝕃𝕆'𝔸𝕂 stood atop Payakan, a Tulkun, gazing up at the myriad of stars scattered across the vast expanse of the night sky. "You like looking at the stars?" he asked Payakan, who responded with a deep, resonant noise akin to a whale's song. Lo'ak smiled, feeling a sense of kinship with the creature beside him. "You know, my mom came from a star. That one," he said, pointing towards a particularly bright star twinkling above them. However, his reverie was interrupted by the urgent calls of the villagers, who had been searching for him. "Lo'ak!" they cried out, their voices carrying through the still night air. Lo'ak sighed, realizing he was in trouble. He leaned down towards Payakan and spoke softly, "Oh, man. I'm in trouble."
With a sense of reluctance, Lo'ak bid farewell to Payakan, knowing he would see the majestic creature again. "Go. I will see you again," he said, before Payakan gracefully submerged beneath the shimmering surface of the water. Lo'ak then turned and swam swiftly towards the awaiting village, ready to face whatever consequences awaited him.
As the resonant sound of the horn echoed through the air, signalling that Lo'ak had been found, the villagers swiftly gathered to witness his return. Lo'ak sat atop the Tsurak, positioned behind a Na'vi warrior, with two others flanking them as they made their way towards the awaiting crowd.
The villagers watched with a mix of relief and concern etched on their faces as they beheld the sight of the young boy's return. Some murmured among themselves, exchanging curious glances and speculating on what had transpired during Lo'ak's absence. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his disappearance, there was a palpable sense of unity among the People as they stood together, ready to welcome Lo'ak back into the fold and offer whatever support he might need.
"The boy has returned!"
"It is the Tskaha boy."
"They found the boy."
"They found him."
Lo'ak climbed onto the raised platform, offering his gratitude to the Na'vi warrior who had accompanied him back. His gaze then shifted upwards, settling on the figures of Tonowari, Ronal, and Aonung. There was a momentary hesitation as he contemplated approaching Aonung, but before he could take a step, his mother Arya intervened. "Hey, hey. Let's have a look at you, okay?" Arya's voice was filled with concern as she inspected Lo'ak for any signs of injury. Lo'ak's attention remained fixed on Aonung, but he allowed his mother to check him over. Arya sighed in relief upon finding no major injuries, and she pulled Lo'ak into a tight embrace.
