Undertide Neteyam X OC

When the Sully family seeks refuge among the Metkayina, the ocean becomes a test.

Riyora, the eldest daughter of Tonowari, has spent her life learning to become a future Tsahik. Grounded, observant, and bound by duty, she believes she understands the currents of her world-until the forest people arrive.

Neteyam Sully was raised to lead, trained to protect, and taught to put responsibility before desire. Far from the forest that shaped him, he struggles to adapt to a sea that demands surrender rather than control.

Drawn together, their bond forms slowly, through arguments or a shared silence, careful touches, and the unspoken understanding.

As tensions rise between tradition and change, Riyora and Neteyam must decide whether some bonds are meant to be resisted-or followed, no matter how deep the current pulls.
