Ma'oare (Neteyam x Aonung)

]Chapter 7[

Third person POV.

"Neteyam, hurry up," said an impatient Tuk as she pulled her brother arm, Neteyam just chuckled at his sisters behaviour and followed her out of their Kelku. Tuk, being the youngest, had to take final lessons in the clan while the rest of the siblings have finished theirs. So now Neteyam, being the eldest, he had dropped off Tuk to her lesson area every day.

The elder Na'vi swept the youngest off her feet, causing her to yelp,

"Neteyam," she said, surprised but giggled afterwards because he started to run while carrying her. The playful pair passed by some clansmen greeting them till they finally reached their destination meeting Tsireya there,

"I see you, Tuk, I see you, Neteyam," greeted Tsireya.

"I see you, Tsireya," the two greeted in return.

Tuk gave her brother a quick peck on the elders cheek and ran off to the Metkayina kids who were all gathered for lessons. Amongst them were some familiar faces who Neteyam recognized as they have played with the little Sully a couple of times.

"Do not worry about her. I will take care of her. You and your brother should hurry my brother, and his friends will be leaving for hunting by the east docks," said Tsireya, reassuring the lean Na'vi.

Neteyam smiled at her and thanked her for her help, then went on his way. He got close to the nearest ledge and called out to his Ilu, who was always nearby. He had learnt that once an Ilu forms Tsaheylu with it rider, it will always stay near them , and since the Metkayina clan village is built over swallow waters, these creatures are always following their riders around.

The friendly creature emerged out the waters squeaking at its rider, and Neteyam smiled down at it, throwing it a little fish snack. The young Na'vi than jumped into the waters afterwards with his Ilu shadowing him, they formed the Tsaheylu under the waters and Neteyam took mount in proper form like the pretty eyed Na'vi had taught him and they swam off to the hunting crew.

Upon arriving at the East docks, Neteyam ascended out of the waters and saw a group Na'vi already gathered for the hunt. He could see his baby bro as he stood out amongst the group of teal coloured Na'vi with his deep blue skin talking with Rotxo. As he got closer to the group, he got off his mount and walked up to Lo'ak and Rotxo,

"Hey, bro, you're a bit late," said the younger Na'vi, smiling amusingly at his elder brother.

"Shut it shxawng. I had drop off Tuk with Tsireya," replied the elder. The elder Na'vi took this chance and jumped on to his younger brother and cast a headlock on him. the two wrestled around playfully till Rotxo interrupted the two,

"You two, come the hunt is about to start," saying this, the two brothers broke off from each other and followed the Rotxo.

The gathered Na'vi all huddled together and prepared themselves checking if they all have the necessities for the hunt, only then did Neteyam realize that he didn't bring any weapon gear for hunting. He looked around and asked the two if they had any gear to spare, but they had none. He went to the other Na'vis, but most either had one and didn't want to give it while others simply didn't have any to spare. Till he saw a familiar back from a distance, a tall teal Na'vi with broad shoulders and slim waist with hair tied up into a tight bun, Aonung was busy chatting to someone else while holding a hunting spear when Neteyam called out to him,

"Hey! Aonung,"

The teal Na'vi looked towards the source of the call and his eyes landed on the culprit, he turned to his companion dismissing him and turned back to Neteyam who walked up to him wearing a playful grin on his face. The lean Na'vi walked up to Aonung and tapped his chest as he asked,
