Invisible String - Jake Sully

Epilogue (Edited)

Three Years Later.

It was like any other sunny day. The sky was so bright and clear, the ocean looked as if there were millions of little stars resting on the surface. And The soothing sound of the waves against the rocks and the occasional chirping of the ilus filled the air.

Inside the Sully's household, Tawn sat with her sister and her tsakarem making pieces of jewellery for the hunting festival that they'd hold in the communion that night.

The hunting festival was the time for the warriors to test their true strength. They would take this time to present their biggest hunt to their mates or someone they cherished so much.

The warrior would also compete on whose got the biggest kill that year. 

It was a very anticipated annual event for the metkayinas since this was the moment that symbolised the start of adulthood for the young clan members, and this was also the time to share happiness and love with the people.

It was a joyful ceremony.

"So Tawn, are you excited for tonight?" Ronal asked, looking up at her through her eyelashes slyly.

Lei'la giggled, remembering last year's hunting ceremony.

Jake made a big scene out of it when he offered her the head of an akula. Yes, Tawn was so confused about how he managed to get the head of the sea beast. His theatrical spurred gossip and envy from the clan, even her sister's, and after the ceremony, she had to scold him for doing that.

Tawn rolled her eyes at her sister's teasing remarks, "I told him not to do anything dramatic for this year," she smiled at the thought of her mate.

The two girls giggled. They were looking forward to what he'd bring her this year.

"I doubt it," Ronal muttered under her breath.

Now that the clan knew about their relationship, Tawn and Jake were their favourite couple. They were the ultimate mated pair in the clan.

How could they not love the couple? They were helpful, kind and very friendly to the villagers. Plus, with the grand gesture Jake loved to shower Tawn with, many people were curious about their relationship and started to pay closer attention to them.

Lei'la sighed dreamily, "You both are so romantic," then her face turned sour, "It'll take a miracle for Aonung to make that kind of gesture for me."

Ronal and Tawn laughed at the tsakarem. 

Aonung decided to announce his tsahik as soon as he bore a mark of a warrior. Of course, Neteyam took the declaration the hardest since he still had feelings for the girl. As a result, Tawn and Kiri needed to console him all night after that.

"All in due time," Ronal smiled at her successor.

Tawn nodded, "Jake doesn't always act like that," she smiled, looking down at the bracelet she made for Kiri, "he could be so clueless sometimes that he angers me so much," she confessed.

"It doesn't seem like that," Lei'la hummed.

"He has his days," Tawn shrugged.

It was true. Jake had his days of being an ass, but Tawn would eventually forgive him since he knew the right button to push.

"Sa'nok!" Tuk greeted, walking into her marui, followed by Kiri who was holding a baby in her hand.

"Hi sa'nok," Kiri smiled at Tawn before turning to Ronal and Lei'la, "hello, tsahik, tsakarem," she smirked at Lei'la.

"Hello, guys. How was baby Rami? Is he fussy?" Ronal asked, standing up and walking towards Kiri, wanting to hold the baby in the young woman's arms.

Kiri hummed, "Yeah, he kept asking for his sa'nok."
