Shooting Stars: His Light | Lo'ak²

The aftermath of Neteyam's death hadn't been easy for anyone, least of all Lo'ak.

He drowned in the guilt of believing that his brother had been killed because of his own stupidity. And his father didn't help either. Lo'ak understood that Jake was grieving in his own way, but when he needed his father the most, Jake turned his back on his youngest son.

Still, Lo'ak was desperate to do anything to win over his father's approval. But when Jake finally came out and blamed Lo'ak for Neteyam's death, Lo'ak found himself in the darkest place he had ever seen of his mind.

-------
Ja'lia watched in agony as her best friend struggled over the death of Neteyam.

Her once playful and adventurous friend had become quiet and withdrawn. His smiles felt forced, and the light in his eyes had dimmed, but this wouldn't deter Ja'lia. If anything, it encouraged her to try harder.

She would help Lo'ak to see how important he is. That Neteyam's death wasn't his fault. That despite Jake's words, Lo'ak deserved to be happy and didn't need to prove himself to anyone.

Follow along on the continuance of Lo'ak and Ja'lia's story. Please stop at Chapter 34 of Shooting Stars! The ending was originally written just in case I wouldn't be able to write this sequel.
