NETEYAM X READER - Hearts Among the Ashes. I see you, Neteyam

She thought the forest would always protect her, that the song of her clan would never end. But the sky people came, and fire tore through her home.

Her ikran carried her through the skies to the nearest clan, the Metkayina, where the Sully family found her, healing her body even as her heart remained fractured. Among the reef, she felt a spark of safety and the quiet grow of something more, especially in Neteyam's steady gaze.

Hope, however, proved fragile. When she returned to her home, all that remained was ash and ruin. Her clan was gone, the trees scorched, many lives ended and the forest destroyed. And yet, even in the shadow of loss, a new bond and unexpected connection began to take root, but in the stillness, she sensed that the danger was far from over.
