Soul Tied [Neteyam x Aonung]

Warrior Trials

The next morning couldn't have come around quicker.

Neteyam woke with his head heavy, nerves rattling his stomach.

He was more than ready, but something in the back of his mind was telling him that something will go wrong.

His nerves calmed as soon as he and his family reached the beach, locking eye contact with his beloved handsome boyfriend.

Aonung was dressed in the Metkayina traditional warrior clothes and body paint.

While Neteyam wore the colours of his own clan, his cummerbund wrapped around his waist, as a thing of comfort.

Keeping his lineage alive.

Everything had been set up.

The boys spears sat on their respective racks, their crossbows sitting beside them.

Tonowari began speaking to the clan, letting everyone know the steps of the trials.

Aonung and Neteyam knew exactly what was to be done.

Aonung leaned towards Neteyams ear.

Neteyam leaned in to hear what the boy said.

"When it comes to the crossbow, just breathe, you've dealt with the shots before, you can do it" Aonung whispered.

"Thank you Nung, good luck" Neteyam whispered back.

"Good luck to you too Teyam" Aonung smiled.

"Now boys, are you ready?" Tonowari asked the two.

"Yes sir" they said in union.

"Very well boys, say goodbye to childhood" Tonowari spoke, smiling to the boys.

Neteyam turned to his family, smiling wildly.

"We are so proud of you Teyam" they all said.

"Thank you guys, I love you all so much" Neteyam said scooping them all up in a tight hug.

"Go get em son" Jake smiled.

"You can do this my son" Ronal smiled to Aonung.

"Good luck brother" Tsireya smiled.

"Thank you ma, thanks Reya" Aonung smiled.

"Alright son, you got this" Tonowari said.

"I've got this" Aonung said to himself before walking over to where Neteyam was standing.

"Ready?" Tonowari shouted, slightly disturbing Neteyam.

"Yes sir" they called back.

"You may start" Tonowari called.

With that the boys ran to the racks, grabbing their respective spears.

Rushing to the water, swimming out far.

They came across a big school of fish.
