After the flight with Neteyam, they hadn't seen each other at all the next two days other than one or two times. Kireyi was sent to help her mother, the older women felt a change in the waters, although not bad, she knew visitors would be coming soon. Admittedly, Kireyi could faintly feel it too, the wind held a new feel, and the water had begun bringing in waves. As if excited for what was to come. Her mother would often bring the young girl with her when things like this happened, isolating her from everyone except the environment, making her feel the land as if she was it herself. If she was going to be Tsahik, learning the land like her palm was one of the most important steps. Aonung on the other hand wasn't responsible for these tasks, as his parents only trained the boy to become a warrior, the next Olo'eytkan. 

Today she was back to working on her routine tasks, including seeing her new friends. They slowly stopped with the lessons, and now it was a matter of getting them fully adjusted to everything they had been taught. Sooner or later, their father, Tonowari, would work with the older Sullys in warrior training. Everyone had fully begun to get along with one another and enjoyed their days to the fullest.

Today took a turn of events for the Metkayina as their family returned. The horns signaled a new arrival, and everyone moved to see what it was. Ronal looked to her oldest daughter, and they had understood what the water had been telling them, their spirit family arrived.

(play "the way it" is by ((( O ))) , i know the artist name is a little funny but trust me. you may need to replay it, i'll give a stopping point!)

"It's our brothers and sisters!" Tsireya squealed, grabbing Kireyi's hands. The sisters quickly grabbed their Ilu, racing around the Marui Pods.

"Everyone, our brothers and sisters have arrived! They're back!" The two announced to those still in their pods. In less than a few minutes, Kireyi spotted Neteyam, "Quickly! Come with me!"

The boy hopped onto the Ilu as Kireyi took off. He was surprised at the speed; she'd never gone this quick before. "Kireyi, where are we going? Who are we going to see-"A loud noise with an enormous splash cut the boy off.

It was as if the girl didn't hear him from her excitement, "It's my spirit sister!" He watched her quickly get off her Ilu, diving into the water. He sat there for a moment, still trying to take the situation in; they must have been Tulkan's, just as they talked about earlier in the week because of Lo'aks incident. Following in pursuit, he found the girl signing to her spirit sister.

How are you? Have you been staying healthy? She signed, petting the Tulkan's side.

With a loud hum, she responded,
I have been healthy, tell me how you have been.

Good! I've missed you a lot. Did you know we have a family from the forest staying with us now? My siblings and I have been teaching them our ways.

Is that boy one of them?
The Tulkan waved her fin in the water, and Kireyi turned around.

Yes! I'll introduce you to him.
Kireyi brought the boy up to the surface, "I'm sorry, I didn't even explain anything to you. This is my spirit sister Eleu, she wants to meet you!"

"How will I know what she is telling me?"

"I'll translate for you, just follow me." Grabbing his hand, she swam towards her spirit sister.

Eleu, could we speak to you on your fin for now?
The Tulkan hummed, sweeping her fin under the two, so they could sit.

Neteyam moved towards Kireyi, "Do I uhm.... need to sign? Or can I speak normally.."

She giggled at his question, "You may speak normally, Eleu will understand you."

"Oh, okay... oel ngati kameie, I'm Neteyam."
