No longer a sully

Chapter 37

It seems like, after all this time, Loak was starting to get back the family he had lost all those years ago. Having most of them back in his life made him happy, but there was still pain, like always thinking about hurtful past moments. It also made him glad to see his daughter getting along with all her new aunts and uncles, including a great-grandmother. The daughter had taken in and raised her father and had also become proud of him, seeing him defend himself and not letting the others control his life anymore.

Loak "Thank you for coming out with us today" Loak was looking at his siblings, who had tagged along with him and Iva to attend to a task.

Neteyam " It sounded fun, brother, and we do wish to use all the time we can to be with you"

Loak "Thanks, bro"

Iva " I hope the others are not mad that they couldn't come with us."

Kiri "They understand, snow girl"

Iva  " snow girl"

Neteyam "Well Iva if you are going to be family you will need a nickname like us all"

Kiri " if you don't love the name we can make something new"

Iva " I love it"

Tuk " good"

Lo'ak " that is a perfect nickname for you my daughter now come on lets head off, before Jake and neytiri find us"

Neteyam " yes lets get going because if they spot us then it will not be good for any of us"

Iva " I know of perfect place we can go"

Lo'ak " lead the way and we will follow" luru soon laugh and she took off on jug being followed by the rest of her family, as they ere going to the place she wish to show them. They soon arrived at this cave that lo'ak and lani knew very well as they had been here many times in the past, luru soon looked back at the group.

Iva " come along you will love to see what we have to show you all"

Spider " hey guys"

Kiri " spider what are you all doing here"

Aonung " our niece had invited us"

Lo'ak " luru"

Iva " before we left I have signaled to sova to send them over here as well they are family great grandmother, said she will deal with the others"

Sova " my father has us covered as well I couldn't miss this fun opportunity and he said I could come as well"

Rotxo " well come on kids show us this amazing spot" the two teens had lead the adults had lead into the cave and they all soon saw these many different, sizes of crystals that were covered most of the cave their shine is so beautiful.

Tuk " this place is so beautiful are these all crystals"

Sova " yes but I will lead Iva to explain everything as this is her whole idea"

Iva " thank you but as Sova speaks the truth yes these are all crystals that have taken years or months to form, and all come in different sizes and shapes as well"

Kiri " wow"

Iva " when either light or sound hits them good they shine brightly" Iva had soon started humming a song and it seems like some of the crystals love it, as some of them had started glowing. The adults all expect Lo'ak stood there shocked as lani was singing a song and dancing a bit, as she was soon joined by sova. The pair were looking like they are having a good time as they are together laughing.

Neteyam " so you are totally good with your daughter dating or courting at this age with the olo'eythan son" neteyam and Lo'ak are at the sides watching the kids and everyone else having a good time interacting, with the crystal and observing them.

Lo'ak " yes I'm good with it if they choices to let their relationship go that far and if sova asks me to become my daughter mate I will say yes"

Neteyam " you are good father"

Lo'ak " thank you and you will be and father as well when the day comes eywa will always provide"

Neteyam " eywa will always provide" the two brothers smile as they remember their younger years, before everything had changed for them all. The group had spent a few more hours there until they need to return home.

Iva " well it seems like we had been covered all day"

Sova " here I thought we will be caught"

Tuk " I was having fun there huh kids have to show us, more ways to have fun here if we are going to be here for a long time"

Neteyam " hey what going on over there" the group soon saw a crowd gather in the middle, of the village the group soon race there to see what the matter.

Aey " my people I have gather you all here today, as we will be celebrating eywa lights very soon" cheers and laughters had been heard as when eywa light, had all the clans gather around to celebrate. The lights will appear during the end of year and other times as well.
