"What's wrong with you? You look so nervous?" "What are you talking about? I-I'm not nervous" "Oh yeah?"

The Sully family had been on the run. The sky people have returned and they can't afford to endanger the Omaticaya people. Seeking refuge among the Metkayina they have to jeopardise the future of their eldest daughter, to stay safe and hidden. They have to offer her as a future Tsahìk. This story is purely fictional, based on the story of James Cameron's Avatar The Way of Water.

The time of war had ended. Peace flourished as the remnants of the RDA fled the Western Frontier, only leaving behind scraps of metal as proof they'd ever been there. For a time, Pandora began to heal. She reclaimed what the sky-people had ruined, stitching the wounds of time closed with root and vine. Life moved forward. The Resistance turned its focus to the living world Ewya breathed. Alma settled into her human body again. Ri'nela learned what it meant to carry the weight of a tsahìk's voice. Teylan shaped metal and wires into something meant to protect, rather than destroy. Yet, Tamtey did not find peace. Sleep brought the memories of TAP that haunted her, driving her from her bed night after night. Only the soft wind beneath unfamiliar stars offered any peace. She was rarely alone for long. So'lek always found her there, sharing quiet hours until the dawn chased away the dark, trading dreams and the horrors that kept them awake. Still, the forest shook with unease. Ewya's song wavered, strained by something distant -- quickly approaching. Smoke stained the horizon. Thin and gray, whispering against the clouds. A single flake of ash drifted down, landing on top of Tamtey's bouncing knee. So'lek reached out and swiped it away, pinching it until it vanished. "Ash..." he murmured, gaze fixed on the rising plumes beyond the trees. "And fire," Tamtey replied, her voice unwavering. The forest fell silent around them. Even the animals did not cry out. A new enemy was coming.

Ruthless in execution, quick in judgment, and trusted to survive alone where others would burn. But most importantly she is sent to spy. Instead, she is captured by the Metkayina clan. Neteyam, son of Toruk Makto, is ordered to guard her-to watch her, to decide if she is worth keeping alive. He wants her gone. She is everything he despises: ruthless, cold-blooded, and-by his belief-a disgrace to Eywa. This is a slowburn enemies to lovers story ⋆｡°✩

As the future Olo'eyktan of the Metkayina, Aonung prides himself on control-over the reef, over others, over himself-until Kel 'Hani disrupts it with a single laugh and a look held too long. She tells herself she dislikes his arrogance; he tells himself she's too stubborn. Yet the space between them tightens all the same, heavy with things unsaid and moments unfinished. Where restraint is tested, denial becomes habit, and the sea quietly shifts along with something neither of them is ready to face.

Moulded into the false exterior that was exposed to at a young age. She was structured into the creature of her parent's desires. That was until she discovered the pull of the sea's real purpose, some call it a blessing but Keyani feels like she is carrying a burden. That was until a certain forest boy came into her life and made it his silent mission to help unravel her deepest fears, uncovering the vulnerability she kept hidden beneath her strong exterior and challenging her to see the world - and herself - through the echos of eywa. neteyam sully x oc avatar the way of water
