You were an inconsequential member of the Omatikaya clan who had failed your rites of passage once already. You were born to heal, not hunt or fight. So, why had the tsahìk designated Neteyam of all people to take over your training? What business did the future olo'eyktan have mentoring you? But it was too late now. You should have known better than to fall in love with your mentor. You had known this day would come; the day when your success would mean losing his company. You should have clung on tighter to your heart while you still had it... Note - I personally don't like the usage of 'Y/N', so the reader's/your name in this is Seyla. The name is not used often, but there are a few points where it has been used for stylistic/emotional effect in the dialogue.
