The ocean didn't take much time.
Waves crashed against one another with rage, the balance of nature had been broken even more, the sun was no longer shining as the drizzling rain replaced the shine in the sky.
Maleia hated this.
She was a child grew in nurturing and healing people.
She knew nothing about war.
Maleia barely knew how to fish as most of her time was took up either swimming in the ocean, or learning to be the next Tsahìk.
But when the group climbed upon Payakan, everything felt real.
The adrenaline knowing that the gunship was just around the corner, how her whole body trembled.
"Call it in! Call dad!" Neteyam warned.
Maleia continued the attempt to pull the tracker from put of Payakan.
Watching as Lo'ak moved away to call his dad on whatever device he used.
"It is not moving!" Maleia exclaimed as the five of them used their force to remove the tracker from the Tulkun.
That was when Neteyam used the ilu to pull the tracker out.
"It's out! It's out!" Tsireya announced.
Maleia jumped back into the water, climbing on her ilu again and diving back beneath the surface.
Bombs hit the water, the vibrations making Maleia's ilu cry out.
"We are not safe..." Maleia used her fingers to speak as they noticed multiple submachines coming towards them.
How do they escape this?
Bushes covered her view as Maleia swam through the bushes.
The sounds of the submachines coming close behind her made her worried.
So, so close.
The submachine reached out and grabbed her ilu by the fin, the ilu cried and thrashed around as blood flowed to the surface.
