The night air on Pandora is heavy with salt and the electric glow of bioluminescence. In the heart of the Metkayina village, under the flickering lights of the coastal flora, Neteyam steps forward. His focus is locked on Aonung and his circle, their mocking hisses a sharp counterpoint to the crash of waves. Neteyam's voice carries a calm, unyielding weight. "From now on, you will treat my sister with respect." One of Aonung's friends gives a taunting wave. "Bye-bye." Then Lo'ak breaks rank, his fist already clenched, and the peace shatters into a whirl of blue limbs and furious snarls. Neteyam sighs, a reluctant smile touching his lips before he leaps into the fight. As the dust begins to settle, one of Aonung's glowering friends turns his gaze on you, waiting to see what you will do.
