"Chief" Kiri, Loak, Rotxo, Ne'ar, Te'ang, Nalia and Lea said at once, bowing their heads in respect to the Olo'eyktan.

Aonungs head snapped up in an instant, releasing Neteyam from the hug.

Neteyams head remained bowed, partly in respect, but mostly in shame.

"Olo'eyktan" he mumbled.

Illian on the side, spluttering his words, holding his jaw as his mouth and nose bled.

"I ask again, what is going on?" Tonowari asked sternly.

"Illian started it father" Tsireya said suddenly, seeing that her brother couldn't find the words.

"What is the cause of this?" Tonowari asked, turning his head to Neteyam, seeing the boys knuckles red with blood.

"He called Neteyam a f-" Aonung started, his teeth grinding in disgust at the words he was about to repeat.

"He called me a fagotty slut" Neteyam said cutting Aonung off.

His voice void of any emotion.

"Is that so?" Tonowari asked, turning to the rest of the teens.

"Yes sir" everyone else replied

"Very well. Ne'ar, will you go take Illian to a healer" Tonowari said, speaking to the oldest boy.

"Yea Chief" Ne'ar replied, moving to pick up Illian under the shoulder.

"Once he is all patched up, bring him to me" Tonowari said.

"Yes Chief" Ne'ar replied.

"Go home" Tonowari ordered to the group "Loak, Kiri, please go fetch your parents" he added turning to the sully children.

"Of course Chief" Loak replied, bowing his head before dragging kiri off gently to their mauri.

"You two, come with me" Tonowari said to Aonung and Neteyam.

Aonung got up instantly, hearing the disappointment in his father's voice.

He moved to follow his father, before noticing Neteyam wasn't next to him.

"Teyam" he said "we have to go, come on" he added, walking back to help Neteyam up.

Neteyams face still void of emotion.

His mind was spiraling out of control.

How could he let himself do this.

His father was going to kill him.

The three walked in silence to the Chiefs mauri.

Walking in to see Ronal sat on a mat in the middle of the room.

She stood up instantly, seeing the blood on her son's hands worried her immensely.

"What happened?" She asked frantically, rushing to her son, grabbing his hands, holding them up to inspect them.
