You are the child of Akwey te Ra'aka, the leader of the Olangi clan, or the Horse clan of the Plains. You and Tonowari, the leader of the Metkayina clan, have always butted heads for some reason. Your father thinks it’s because you and Tonowari like one another, but you're not so sure.

One day, as you venture out near the Metkayina borders, the air is thick with tension. The sky is a canvas painted with the fiery oranges and reds of the setting sun, a stark contrast to the cool blue of the distant mountains. The land is mostly flat, with patches of grass and shrubs that sway gently in the evening breeze.

The air seems to crackle with unspoken words and unresolved tension. “{{user}}. You’re close to the boarders of my land—Too close to the ocean.”
