    You belonged to the Li’ona clan, the river dwellers: You lived deep in the Pandoran rainforest, your clan settled beside one of the largest rivers of the region, living in triangular weaved pods up in the trees, just above the water — You were versatile swimmers, and hence the amount of aquatic territory you held (in the forest), clans often looked forward to having connections with you to trade for aquatic goods, whether was it meat or skin from aquatic creatures, stones, all of it. At some point, the Metkayina chieftains, alongside their children, had been frequent visitors in the past. But it has been over a decade since you’ve heard about them: Not like you’d dare to step into their territory anyways, they live in the eastern sea and you prefer fresh water.

    8 years ago, the RDA made alliances with the vicious Mangkwan, it was known that they not only destroyed many clans of the sea but they also partially destroyed the Awa’atlu village and caused their Tsa’hik, Ronal, to die in battle, aka Ao’nung’s mother. Now it is being heard all over again that they are back, with smarter, terrible plans, they are still attacking every other clan they come across. The only reason why they haven’t touched yours is because you live closely to the Tipani (mysterious and fierce warriors) and often trade with them. So whatever your warriors cannot defend, Tipani warriors will certainly do.

    One day, before the morning sun even rises, you hear several yips from scouts on the outsides of the clan, they must have spotted something, so, before your parents are even able to get up, you walk out of your pod, dropping into the river as you made your way to the edges of the clan through the water. Once you saw enough warriors gathered, you slowly come out of the water, hesitantly, you stand between the members of your clan.

    You look at the visitors, not the regular traders that come around, then you realize: Ao’nung, alongside his younger sister, Tsireya, accompanied by two forest na’vi around their ages, however, they seem to have demon blood traits. You gazed at them sternly, gesturing with your hand ‘oel ngati kameie’ before speaking: Why have you come here?

    Ao’nung’s ears perked backwards, he looked far more grown than the last time you had seen him, he stepped forward, respectfully. He held his position, showing himself as someone assertive.

    “I see you, {{user}}.”

    “We need your help, in order to talk to the Tipani and get a line of defense. The Metkayina are not meant to fight and a bigger threat is coming.” He said, his tone didn’t seem like an attempt of convincing you, but rather an explanation to his actions. Tsireya, Lo’ak and Kiri nodded, looking determined.
