Rhea was sitting on a palm tree log with her friends, Rotxo, Aonung and Tsireya. They were all sharing a coconut filled with water to drink.

"Why's it so salty?" Aonung says as he winces.

They all laugh as Tsireya takes the coconut from his hand, Aonung touches his throat with his fingers.

"Because it's sea water, butthead.

- It's burning my throat!" Aonung complains as he coughs.

Tsireya takes a sip of the water before handing it to her friend Rhea. She takes the coconut between her thin fingers. She takes a sip and then hand it to Rotxo. A little bit further, a dark blue man was sitting next to a villager, discussing with him about the people here. He wanted to know everybody's name. To get his marks here, getting along with some people is a good thing he could do.

"Jari is the best swimmer of her age, and she is only fourteen, she teaches the kids how to swim." Yerino, the villager next to Neteyam said.

Neteyam simply nodded before pointing to a man, he was older than him, tall, muscular and short hair falling on his forehead.

"This is Uriwano, a good warrior, just do not get too close to his sister Nera or else he will fuck you up." He says.

Neteyam stifles a laugh. He did not know if he was going to like it here, and if he would not, he will have to pretend. Because Neteyam understood that they would probably never go back home. Real home. Yerino was nice, he was just talking a lot. But at least Neteyam knew to not get too close to Uriwano's sister.

But a woman sitting on a palm tree log was holding his attention since he arrived here this morning. She had long goddess braids that were perfectly falling on her shoulder and breast. She had blue eyes, but they were not as big as everybody else. They were thin, like a siren. She was pretty, it was true. But this was not the reason why this woman was holding his attention.

It was because she was mysterious. She does not talk much. She is discreet, but she also knows how to make people notice her, and that is what intrigues Neteyam so much.

"And who is she?" He asks pointing at the girl.

Yerino looks at her and raises his eyebrows before looking back at Neteyam, and he immediately noticed how he looked at her. Like she was the eighth wonder. Yerino sighed as he shakes his head from left to right.

"Her?" Yerino asks to make sure they were talking about the same girl.

Neteyam nods his head still observing the woman. She was smiling and laughing with her friends. And he was still waiting for Yerino's answer.

"Oh forget it. It's Rhea, Aonung's girlfriend." He answers.

The way Yerino told him to forget about it offended Neteyam a little bit because he did not even wanted to approach this girl. He just wanted to know who she was.

"Girlfriend? Neteyam asks again to make sure.

- Yeah. Well... Actually we do not really know. Aonung is in love with her since they are like thirteen, but she always pushed him away. But we all know she will end up with him because nobody ever refuses anything to Aonung."

Neteyam giggles as he raises his eyebrows, still admiring Rhea. Her name was Rhea, and it suited her perfectly.

"She is like untouchable." Yerino adds.

Well, maybe Neteyam actually wanted to approach this woman.

I was sitting with my friends at the same spot as we were watching people dancing around the campfire, women dancing with their husband and children. We were still sharing the coconut together, I hand it to Aonung but he immediately refuses it.
