Whirlwind~Lo'ak Sully

-Chapter 15: Friends-

The following morning we were in the tent when someone grunted, I looked to see a man and a women in the doorway. One of them were holding a small sack. "Can I help you?" Neteyam asked going towards the couple. I whipped my hands.

"We uh heard a girl named Tekre was here. We would like to speak with her." The man replied. I stood up.

"I go by Sey'ean now." I replied. "I see you." I made the hand gesture.

"Your Tekre?" I nodded my head.

"You look so grown up now." The women said.

I chuckled a little. "Yeah I get that a lot. But uh, who are you exactly?"

"Oh my apologize, I am Sukarl, Leader of the Toruka Na'ring region." The women said. "This is my mate, Amanti. We wanted to see if the rumors were true, that you had returned to the clan."

"Well the rumors are true." I said and then I invited them in. Neteyam had started a fire. I sat around it with them. They told us that they were old friends of my mother and father.

"We haven't seen you since you were what?" Sukari looks to her mate. "2?"

Amanti nodded his head. "Why did you come here?" Lo'ak asks the man and women.
"Well we know that your grandmother gave you some of your mothers stuff and we came with some pesotions that were them, to give to you, and to tell you the answers of anything you want to know."

"What do you have that were my parents?" I asked

Amanti pulled out a beaded Jewelry string. "This was your mother's songcord. We hve had it for a few years along with your fathers." He pulled out another songcord.

He gave them to me as I ran my fingers over them. "It has everything in their songcords, their life. From when they were born, to when they mated, even when they had you."

I smiled. "Thank you for showing me these."

Amanti smiled back. "If you would like you may have them."

I thought for a moment before handing them back. "No, they belong with you, or my grandmother. This is where they lived, this is where they should stay."

Amanti nodded before laying them beside him. He pulled out another songcord and handed it to me. "This was your songcord."

I looked over it, from the first bead to the last one. Amanti started pointed. "This cloth at the beginning of your songcord is what you were wrapped around in." He pointed to other things, From the time I walked, my first communion with Ewya. My most recent one Amanti said was when I got taken.

"You will keep this one. Every Na'vi has a songcord to tell their story." I see him holding something up. "This is for you from us. You can put it on your songcord as when you came to the clan." Amanti motioned to Neteyam and Lo'ak. "They can help you add to the songcord from the time you went to their clan to when you came here."

I nodded. "Thank you."

Sukari spoke up. "Thats what we had to show you. Do you have any questions?"

"How did my parents die?" I asked

Sukari sighed and looked at her mate. "Well, your mother went after you. She wouldn't listen to anyone, she was missing for a month until the sky people came back and dumped her body in front of us. She was weak and alive. She brought her to the tsahik's tent to try and get her help. She told us that we was captured trying to get you back. That she was so close. They had tortured her."

"We should have went and looked for her." She looked to her mate.
Amanti placed a hand on Sukari's back comforting her. "And your father." Sukari started. "We gathered a war party, we were in it along with your father. We were going to attack the sky people base to get you back. Your father was so angry. We tried to fight to you but the sky people were to strong we had to leave but their was no way out. We were surrounded."

"Thats when you father sacrifice himself so we could go and live." Sukari stated. She had started to cry.

"Irayo." I mumbled. Neteyam had told them that maybe that was enough for today and to come back before we leave. I gave Amanti and Sukari a hug, before they went to leave.

"Hey Sey'ean?" Amanti called out. I turned to look at him.

"Your parents didnt die for no reason."

"Yeah." I sighed. "People have been telling me that a lot lately, I wish I just had enough answers."
