The ocean remembers everything. When the Sky People came-hungry, loud, burning their way across the islands-they came not for land, but for a man. Jake Sully readies himself to protect his family. And the Metkayina opened their waters to war. Spring brought a child into the reef-Tane, born of tide and light, his first breath taken as shadows gathered beyond the horizon. While he slept, cradled by song, the sea prepared for bloodshed. Aonung stood at the edge of becoming. No longer a reckless son, not yet a chief. To protect his people and to keep his best friend alive. Aonung prepares himself to face fire.

He remembers the light line of her smile as she swooped around him. That smile had cost him everything. He doesn't catch it. She'd saved his life. He was sure of that, but why would an ash na'vi help him? And why does he help her? 𝘞𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦, he mutters, wiping her blood off onto the rock beneath them.

He was supposed to protect his people, as a good Olo'eyktan would, but following the battle with the RDA and the mangkwan, the Metkayina are grieving and his duty is greater than ever. Now he must overcome his own loss to save not only his family, but his clan. ❥ Ikari doesn't know how to live without her people. Injured and stranded in the reef without any word from the Mangkwan, she needs to adapt to a new life as learns to heal. With the son of the grieving chief seeming to be just as lonely as her, she might just find this harsh change manageable. She knows a thing or two about duty.

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.

"I want her... but I can't have her." She was stunningly beautiful in his eyes. Yet, she carried an innocence that Aonung was afraid to taint. There was a world of difference between them. He had always lived his life in the dark, while she... she was the light itself. However, despite his best efforts to stay away, she made it impossible. It was evident from her longing gazes and innocent remarks that she was taunting him to take her.
