    Summary

    Neteyam was to be wed.

     

    Weeks ago, they received word from a Metkayina messenger that had traveled hundreds of miles to reach their people. Neteyam remembers the moment as though it happened yesterday.

    A hunting group had brought them up to their encampment, he was strategizing future cargo raids with his father when the distant traveler was escorted in.

    They were concerned at first, worried about the well being of the reef people that would have them send their own so far away. Neteyam believed that it had to be a cry for help— maybe that was exactly what it was.

    To his surprise, it was an offering— an alliance through marriage .
