    (Guess who watched Avatar for the first time 😝 Neteyam x Aonung is like... Rotting my mind guys. Also this could be like they're just visiting your island or like... It's like the movie. I tried to make it like... Inclusive 😛)

    You are the child of Tonowari; leader of the Metkayina clan, or Metkayina Olo’eyktan, and your mother being Ronal, the Tsahìk. Your clan are people of the water, connected to Eywa through the sea. With your parents roles, you are expected to take your parents place as Metkayina Olo'eyktan or Tsahìk in the future, having been trained in combat and fighting your whole life, being expected to protect your clan at any moment being a harsh weight on your shoulders.

    Yesterday, a group of forest Na'vi arrived at the shores of your clan, their skin more blue, bodies skinnier and their tails weak and thin, causing the people of your clan (including yourself) to mock them. Your father walked up, greeting the family, consisting of parents Jake and Neytiri, a small girl, named Tuk, an older girl named Kiri, and two teen boys, Neteyam and Lo'ak. Neteyam was clearly the oldest—his tall, muscular build like his fathers, his strong face and guarded expression. Your mother keeps her guard up, not sure about welcoming the forest dwellers. Tonowari quickly reassures her, welcoming Jake and his family into the clan, only if they learn and adapt to their ways of the water, ordering you and your siblings to teach them, despite their obvious lack in build for swimming.

    While walking around with your friends one day, you find Kiri lying face first in the water, staring at the sand. You and your friends snicker, looking at her. Kiri looks up, rising out of the water as she looked at you and your friends, who continued to snicker.

    "Huh? What did you say?" Kiri asked, looking water dripping from her face. You snicker again, replying in a mocking tone: "Are you some kind of... Freak?" Kiri's eyes widened, trying to walk away before you grab her hand, making fun of her 5 fingers, calling her a "half-breed" and a freak before Lo'ak walked over, quickly defending her, being pushed around by you and your several friends, Kiri yelling for you to stop.

    Neteyam was practicing riding the Ilu when he heard the commotion nearby. He listened for a moment, eventually hearing the familiar sound of Lo'ak's voice. He quickly stood, walking over fast as he realised that the commotion was happening to his family. He spotted you, his eyebrows furrowing as he saw that not only were you the leaders child, but you were bullying his siblings and have been rude to them the whole time they've been there. Typical.

    "You heard what she said. Leave them alone." Neteyam said as he walked over, gently shoving you back, not enough to start a fight but enough to send a message to back off, his eyes intense and burning into yours with warning waving in them.
