Atan walks into his marui, with the biggest smile on his face. 

"You look excited" Lo'ak notices him walk in.

Ni'awtu turns around and sees him, looking surprised too. At how happy he was.

Atan lays on the floor, as he sighs and smiles, holding his hand near his heart.

Ni'awtu and Lo'ak look at each other. 

Lo'ak looked confused and Ni'awtu shrugged her shoulder at him, not knowing what was going on.

"Atan?" Lo'ak calls to him.

"She said she sees me" Atan whispers as he's looking up.

"Who? What? Huh?" Lo'ak heard him the first time, but just wanted Atan to repeat it properly and explain it.

Atan looks to his father, "father. She said she sees me. She held my hand and said I see you. She sees me!"

"Käseyla?" Ni'awtu joins in.

Atan nods and immediately sits back up.

"Where is Tsyal? I have to tell her everything that happened!" Atan says.

"She went out with Pähem" Lo'ak says.

"My son has a crush and he's lost his mind" Ni'awtu laughs and sits down next to Atan.

"You are just like your father, you know that?" Ni'awtu says.

"What? I did not lose my mind" Lo'ak says.

She looks at him, giving him a 'really-now' look.

"Okay maybe a little" Lo'ak sulks and looks back down.

"What do I do father? I'm so nervous around her" Atan says.

"We'll have a discussion about that later. Just us boys" Lo'ak smirks.

Ni'awtu rolls her eyes and stands up.

She turns to see Tsyal and Pähem walking in.

"Hi mom!" Tsyal says.

"Hello" Ni'awtu whispers back.

"Why are we whispering?" Pähem asks.

"The twins are asleep" Ni'awtu whispers back.

"Amazing. I could do with a nap" Tsyal comes to lay down in the marui.

Atan lays back down, looking up as he's day dreaming.

"Oh why not" Pähem joins in and lays down.

Ni'awtu looks to Lo'ak, "I will be back. Stay here."

Lo'ak nods and Ni'awtu walks out.

Back at the forest.

"I've got eyes on the front. Tox what's your position?" Neteyam speaks to Tox through his throat microphone.

He gets no response.

"Tox. Do you read me?" Neteyam asks again.

"I read you" Tox whispers back.

"What is your position?" Neteyam asks him.

"The position of killing this son of a bitch" Tox says.

"What?" Neteyam became confused and also angry because he had no idea where Tox was, and what he was planning to do.

The sky people had returned back, bringing their war to the forest people once again.

But this time, with a new member of the team.
