𝑴𝒀 𝑭𝑰𝑹𝑺𝑻 𝑭𝑨𝑵-𝑭𝑰𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 She was born for the forest. He was raised to survive anything. Forced to flee with the Sully family to the Metkayina reefs, Szàrae finds the ocean to be her greatest trial. Every misstep marks her as an outsider, drawing quiet scrutiny-especially from Neteyam Sully. As the eldest, Neteyam demands precision. His corrections are relentless, never cruel, never soft-because survival leaves no room for failure. Distance becomes impossible as discipline blurs into something neither of them is prepared to face. Because the ocean does not forgive weakness- and falling for the one who challenges you most may be the most dangerous mistake of all. 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫! ૮ • ﻌ - ა

"Ke'leha?" Ke'leha's breath hitched. For a moment, the rage between them seemed to vanish, replaced by the ghosts of two children. She looked up at him, her gaze finally focusing past her rage. She saw the way his eyes, those glowing embers, searched hers with a desperate, familiar kindness. She tilted her head to the side. "Neteyam?" she whispered, the name sounding foreign and heavy on her tongue. His grip loosened completely, his weight standing from her body. "You're... You're alive?" Ke'leha stood right after, her hand clutching her side. "Why do you have to ruin everything?" she hissed, leaning back against a rock to catch her breath. Neteyam looked at her, to the burn marks that were now visible beneath the smudged paint, to the way her shoulder bled from his arrow, to her face that he couldn't recognise. "You're alive." he stated again, grabbing his broken bow and sitting down on his heels on another rock.
