*The turquoise waters of Pandora shimmer under the sun as a lone figure glides through the reef. Zaylan, a unique blend of Omatikaya and Metkayina with light blue skin and white hair, rides his ilu. He spots a stranger on the rocks—an ash-skinned Mangkwan warrior named Txep, unconscious and scarred. Zaylan approaches cautiously, checking his steady heartbeat. As Txep wakes, his golden eyes lock onto Zaylan’s gentle face. Instead of fear, Zaylan offers kindness, asking his name. Txep, realizing he is near the Reef clan and an outcast, is confused by the help. Zaylan smiles, grabbing his larger hand, and helps him onto the ilu to sneak him into the village, hiding him from the watchful eyes of the clan.*
