Summary
“Are you ready?”
“No. I’m not ready at all.”
Ao’nung was Awa’altu’s pride. As if he were a tiny dancer in a music box, he danced with beauty and grace, enough to make even the stars swoon over him.
Neteyam wrote beautiful songs on broken keys. It meant they were honest. But even beauty wasn’t eternal.
The vast sky of stars knew Ao’nung couldn’t be perfect forever, and after years of partnership, Neteyam’s time was running out.
Ao’nung wasn’t ready.

Summary
With the shallow grief of leaving behind his people still raw in his mind, Neteyam arrives at the Metkayina reef. Neteyam’s inability to match his father’s skill only deepens his resentment towards the metkayina people and their judgements, while Ao’nung continues to mock him, igniting a simmering tension that will only continue to grow.

Summary
His hair fell out of its characteristic bun. Curls tumbled in lush strands upon his shoulders, soaked through with the water’s depths. His eyes, painted teal, mixed in with the sunlight’s rays to catch the reflection of the lapping waves, which doused the sand within its froth. The sun’s gleam caught within his pupil, illuminated all the more by the toothy grin that spilled aimlessly across his face. A man, framed by nature’s brushstrokes herself.
“Neteyam, your family would be so happy to see you. I’m so happy to-”
Ao’nung’s graceless smile faltered then. His teal eyes widened as he took Neteyam's sight in his entirety.
“Neteyam. Your kuru-”
OR
After the events of the Three Brothers Rocks, Neteyam is saved by Varang and is awoken in the Mangkwan clan, yet he is resigned to a fate worse than death. The sky people have cut off his kuru and shot a bullet through his chest. They have taken everything from him, and Neteyam will stop at nothing until they feel the exact pain and misery that courses through him.
However, oceans away, Ao’nung cannot stop lingering on the supposedly deceased Omatikaya forest boy who arrived at Awa’atlu a few months ago.
