" I AM deeply sorry aiä, there is no excuse for my words or actions, I was just so filled with worry. please forgive me!"
Jake tells desperately to the tsakeram

after what had happened the day prior, jake felt the need to apologize because he knew that they could easily be bashed or punished for disrespecting the olekytans' only daughter and future tsahik

a new day began, and jake decided to make things right by apologizing when meeting in the tsahiks room

" it is fine, Mr. sully, I understand we are here to help you, and I shouldn't have occupied your sons time or made your family worry, I assure no such thing will happen again."

aiä said in a formal matter

since the family had arrived at her home, she had been avoiding loaks gaze

that was the first few steps to her plan to distance herself

though that was the opposite of what loak wanted

he wanted to talk more with her and become her friend

as aiä finished talking, jake bowed his head down and left it like that for a good few seconds

"Thank you, tsakeram."

aiä just nodded her head

äkrawutru interrupted the silence

"So , yesterday, with the information given to us, we were able to make a plan that we believe to be successful enough to get your son back."

the sully family widened their eyes

" we will repeat as we did the first day we started with the rituals, but this time I will bring my brothers and with the help of this new potion hopefully his body will appear with us here."

aiä explained to the family

" we must do this at our spirit tree. That way, you all will connect with the tree and hope that you will do something to help bring your son back."

axkä informed them

"... I really do appreciate this, really, but there is a slight problem with that..."
jake said hesitentaly

" And that is?"
aiä said with a serious face

" kiri cannot connect with the spirit tree. Last she did, she had um a seizure.."

" A seizure?"

" Yes, she went unconscious and was shaking a lot, but after a ritual that the tsahik did, she was ok but one of my f-"

" Well, then that is more of a reason for her to connect with the tree."

aiä stated firmly

as she said that Kirk's head lifted up in question

"w..what, how?"
he asked, confused

" That means she has a strong connection to the tree or just has great spirit. Either way, she must connect with the tree."
äkrawutru informs

kiri had a smile plastered on her face

"Well, let's go then."
axkä said

as they began their walk, jake made his way to aiä to loaks dismay

" I never was one to question your abilities, but is it truly safe for my daughter to connect to the tree?"
he questioned

" Well, what were you told would happen if she connected to the tree again?"

Then jake began to explain to aiä about the entire situation, how he had called his sky people friends and asked them to take a look and help kiri and he mentioned his friend norm tell him that it is something called epilepsy and if she connected to the tree underwater it could kill her

" that is something terrifying to find out but you said that this norm friend of yours told you to not allow her to connect to it underwater, this tree is not underwater and my mother will be there since neither me or my siblings will be able to help since we will be in a trance trying to help neteyam, and if such thing were to happen then I assure you, your daughters life will be in my hands."

aiä told him
