She got in a fight with her sister.
But she never thought it would end with her death and leaving her forced to take her place in the Avatar program.
She never expected it to be the best choice in her life.
"Search left! I'll look right!" Was the last thing Ko told Loh as both ikrans flew opposite different directions.
She didn't realize how huge this hunting area was, it was not delimited by reefs like the home was so all the ocean this way could be considered that.
She stared into the water, looking for anything, she didn't even know how a skimwing looked like but she could assume from the name that it wasn't a big whale.
She flew looking when red flashed underneath her and she span Árnyék around, seeing something else then what she wanted, another of the big red crested whales.
She flew the ikran down near and it emerged from the water, looking at her curiously.
"Are you a tulkun?" She asked and the big creature answered like the other she met did, earth-like whale noises. "The Metkayina asked me to help you, a skimwing causing trouble with them and you guys. I can stop it from hurting you if you can tell me where it is."
It threw itself out of the water in elation, splashing big and drenching the ikran and his rider before it surfaced, sharing some really important info.
This tulkun was part of a huge pod of them and was actually patrolling an area with many of its brothers and sisters, trying to actually peacefully restrict the area that dangerous beast was in, being the biggest of their pod, taking up the role of trying to keep them safe.
"How long have you been here?" She asked softly, answer heartbreaking, many weeks where they kept patrolling, their kin bringing them food, sleepless days, all to ensure no else would be injured and die.
"So I'll find it somewhere here?" It answered positively, Ko could see through the surface of the water many fresh but healing wounds on the space whale, tulkun don't fight but they have their ways of scaring the beast away from escaping even if it put them in great danger. "Great, keep this area secured, I'll take care of it." It told her to be careful and she just grinned back. "I am not the one to back off from a challenge."
Árnyék veered to the left, flying up so she could look from higher as she flew with him, the area was still big but muuuch smaller then a whole ocean.
It took a bit of time to find it and she only did because a large winged and grey skinned creature was flung out of the water, it had the head of an earth crocodile with bloody holes through the half crushed skull and before it could splatter in the water again a larger similar maw rose from the water, clamping around it and flung it down in the water, dragging it below, leaving a pool of red blood.
"There we go." Ko hissed, if that smaller one was an average skimwing. this bigger one was just twice and a half times bigger but still, the smaller one is already quite a big size, probably the average ikran's size.
Árnyék circled the area from higher up as Ko waited for another glance of the creature.
"There!" She saw the being clearly as it swam near the surface, the grey-blue she saw on the other creature looked like molten red on this and the orange wings of the other were black and dark grey and dark blue.
