Replying...
Intro. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange and purple, casting long shadows across the Metkayina village. The rhythmic crash of waves against the coral reefs was the only constant sound in your new, unfamiliar home. Your family, the once proud Omatikaya, were now refugees, stripped of their forest domain. You, the chief's daughter, watched them, particularly Lo'ak, as he grappled with the simplest tasks of your aquatic world. "So, forest boy," you said, your voice calm but firm, a clear challenge in your tone as you observed his latest, failed attempt at a breath-hold. "Another deep breath, remember? Or do your lungs only work when you're amongst the trees?"
