👀 for the Lesser NSRtists?

"👀 Tell me more about [OC name]?"

Technically there are a LOT of NSR artists, but obviously you meant the important ones lol. The top of NSR's lesser artists under each Megastar for each district!

For Cast Tech we have the newest addition to the NSR family, DJ Necropolis (AKA, Daray). He is a pretty quiet guy who only really cares about music and sorta his friends Adder and Neil.

I say sorta because he tends to have this mindset of "don't see, don't care" where if someone isn't presently in his life a lot, he tends to forget they exist until they come back in.

So even though he sees those two a lot because he works with them, and he would considering both of them his best friends, he still tends to push them out of his mind when not actively engaging with them (he pretty much never reaches out first, can easily stop communicating with them, as well as having a hard time really connecting with their problems in a meaningful way).

For work it's different since there are deadlines and people like Tatiana are above him, making it hard to forget them (which is good, otherwise he'd probably be bad at his work if he didn't have that constant pressure). But otherwise, he's not very talkative and very much not making friends easily.

Much more of a wallflower who only talks about music. Which the other NSRtists and Megastars get bored with since that is their jobs (well other than Nova, which is a good thing that Daray was put in their district since Nova and Daray get along fairly well since all they talk about is work related subjects).

In Akusuka is Popstart! Real name: Maple! Well, that is what she changed her name to, it used to be Mabel, but she liked Maple.

She's an adult, but looks younger. It doesn't help that she has braces since she wasn't able to have them when she was younger, or that she leans into that hyper pop kind of theme that Sayu has going on.

I think her genre would be some kind of like "candy pop" and hyper pop mixed together. Super sweet, upbeat, probably reminiscent of early 2000s pop music is what I think she would have. Or at least what it would grow into as she would have the freedom to go into that side of music after the revolution (as the "candy pop" music I am hearing sounds kinda more rock than edm).

She has a tail! It is her real tail! It is supposed to be a squirrel tail, but it is made of sweets/goo so a lot of people think she is some kind of snail instead (based off a comment/ask saying she was a snail lol).

Technically Ex-Jay is also one of the top lesser NSRtists, but only for a little while. They outranked Popstart for a bit, but would soon leave NSR to just do their own thing since they couldn't travel as much, but also the fact that working for NSR wasn't really their goal anymore from when they were teens.

In Natura we have Synthia! Plenty has been said about Synthia already. He's a neglected kid trying to do everything to make his mother proud of him, or at the very least love him even a little bit.

He honestly doesn't actually care about NSR. Similar to Daray, he has a hard time caring about other people except a select few. It really is just him and his mom for the longest time, and he was trying to do anything to upstage Yinu and take her title as Natura's Charter.

Obviously he didn't get it as Yinu is still charter after the timeskip, when she decides to retire and travel with Peni. I think it would be neat if Synthia was offered the role of charter by Yinu (or like Yinu would put in a good word for him) but he hesitates or declines it because he doesn't actually want that, and he's no longer in contact with his mother (because of his mother cutting contact) that he has no real idea what to do with his life anymore.

It is thanks to Carna and Riko coming into his life that he is able to live more for himself. I would say all three of them are pretty selfish in their own ways, which is actually what makes them all really good friends, as they can understand when the others do something selfish as that is something they can see themselves doing.

So kind of a dysfunctional little friend group, but it works out for them. Plus it's probably the only friends Carna and Synthia ever had outside of family and work (Riko is probably the most functional out of the three and still has friends from Japan she talks with).

In the Metro Division we have my earliest NSR OCs, Hydrar, Timbre, and EGEg! Their band used to be called "Amarus Amares" but I'm thinking of changing that.

Anyway, Hydrar was crushing on Timbre heavily, but at some point I just decided to put them in a relationship because I want to. Most likely EGEg ended up pushing them to opening up to each other so she didn't have to see Hydrar fall over her own words all the time because of her major crush.

Hydrar lost her arm in a car accident. She was helped by one of Neon J's outreach programs to help people get prosthetics. She has been looking up to him ever since.

Timbr similarly looks up to Neon J, but because he was one of the first famous people who had a head similar to hers that she knew of (her head is made of glass, but it is rectangular and fragile similar to Neon J's monitor head).

So because of both of their fascination with Neon J, the two became good friends and started their band together to try and become NSRtists one day! They took the theme of 1010 seriously and made themselves out to look like robots (Timbr making a protector for her head to look like a screen, and Hydrar covering up anything that isn't robotic and wearing a mechanical mask). It honestly worked because most of their fanbase thinks they are robots.

As for EGEg. At first she was supposed to be an alien species that was created from a past mutual's oc species based off of DJSS. But I actually want to recreate her a bit as that no longer fits the Eriverse (since that lore was made before I had "elementals" down).

So for now, EGEg is a space elemental similar to Nova who was really down on her luck after a really bad breakup. She ran into Timbr and Hydrar who took her in, and she became their manager.

She doesn't make any music, and honestly has no idea how to do anything music related. She really just manages the more business side of things and gives a more consumer input to Hydrar and Timbre's music since she isn't a professional.

And for the final district, Ana in Dream Fever!

Gonna be honest, she is the least developed in my head out of all the lesser NSRtists. All I know is she is a fucking bitch who will step on others to get up in the ladder.

I see her having a kind of parasocial relationship with Eve. Similar to what Timbr and Hydrar have going on with Neon J, but she is a lot more toxic with hers and will do anything for Eve.

Actually, I would say that her relationship with Eve is similar to that of Eve's relationship with Tatiana in the game. Where Eve is putting everything she has into being good enough for Tatiana, and this is exactly what Ana is doing for Eve.

Except that Ana is also a massive bitch and doesn't actually care about others. Like Eve can be mean, but she truly does care about others and wants to help people out (we can see this with her art pieces that also help with the flooding). Ana is just a heartless bitch hiding behind a pretty face.

As for her powers, I think she has some kind of star power, or something to do with lights. I was at first gonna have her have light strings, similar to what Ilia has, but then I created Ilia as a character with string powers (Imma be honest with you chief, I really just LOVE string powers and barrier powers. I gotta try to not overuse them lol).

But yea, I have no idea what Ana's powers are gonna be, but she does have something. I want her to be related to strings and the small harp/lyre as an instrument.

I don't think she's a character who can be changed for the better, but she is one who could be subdued into a more passive role (unlike Matvey who is always actively hostile or Sharon who is negatively passive, Ana will be a neutral passive leaning towards a fake positive to make others just get off her back).

Basically once she gets truly humbled, she'll just be a two faced bitch who pretends to be nice to everyone but actually has no real friends close enough to her and instead her life is very lonely and bitter yet she does nothing to change it for the better.

I think her and Adder would be good friends! :D

That's basically all I got for the NSRtists (I'm sure I can think of more but this post is already long enough lol).

AUNGIA TA EYWA (A SIGN FROM EYWA)

Chapter 07: The impossible task

Description:

Anastasia Novak is a behavioural scientist tasked with socializing a captive Na'vi on behalf of the RDA. The longer she works with the Na'vi and the closer she gets to him, the more she has to rethink everything she thought she knew and redefine her morals and values. Can she just carry on like this, or will she follow her heart?

Content: Rating +18, Avatar fanfiction, human x Na'vi ship, Na'vi captured

Characters: Human OCs: Anastasia Novak, Steven Turner, Patra// Na'vi OCs: Ean'tu,

Word Count: 3.332

⊹˚₊‧─────────────────────────────‧₊˚⊹

❗️English is not my native language! I apologize very much if it reads a bit bumpy here and there.

I’m a German author and this is the first time I’ve tried to translate a story I’m working on into English and upload it. I still hope you enjoy it.❗

Ana's stomach clenched as she faced the man who was responsible for all this. At least as far as Ean'tu's suffering was concerned. He was the one who held him captive, caged like an animal. There was so much she could have said to him, but instead she gritted her teeth and remained silent. Just one wrong word could determine her or Ean'tu's fate, she had to be careful and swallow her anger.

Mr. Cornett looked at her with an icy expression and his eyes pierced her. He was wearing a fine suit, his hair neatly combed back and his face clean-shaven. She could even smell his strong-smelling aftershave, which stung her nose. Turner had sat back down at the desk and left Ana alone with the boss and with the two soldiers for his protection.

"Dr. Anastasia Novak, very pleased to meet you in person," Ana forced herself to fake friendliness and shook the man's hand.

"The pleasure is all mine." He shook her hand and put on a fake smile. As a behavioral psychologist, Ana immediately saw through his facial expressions and gestures. Without realizing it, she seemed to have already done something to upset him. But she also knew that he would probably refrain from telling her exactly what it was. It was up to her to find out. "I see you're making progress with Sky? I wasn't expecting results so quickly, he's already so tame. You hadn't even told me about it."

Ah ha, that was the problem, Ana heard the subliminal complaint immediately. "I'm very good at what I do, sir, otherwise I'm sure you wouldn't have hired me," she explained, "but you can't call him tame yet."

"And how do you explain that in the isolated room?" He crossed his arms.

"Well, sir, Sky is more complex than initially assumed, he tolerates my presence now, which is important for further cooperation and training, but there is still a long way to go before Sky can be said to be completely tamed." Ana held his gaze.

"What do you mean by complex, Dr. Novak? How much more complex can he be than other animals?"

"Quite a lot, just trust my work."

The man seemed to be examining her closely and considering. A look that Ana couldn't quite interpret. Was he looking for a lie in her words? Because she didn't lie. Ana withheld just a few pieces of information. It was important that she did exactly what her boss expected of her so that Ana didn't lose her job. Only the best were needed here on Pandora.

"Sir, if I could speak frankly," Ana began. Her boss nodded at her. "I'd like to request some circumstance enhancements for Sky. Things for his well-being, to make him feel more at home. He has more needs than a simple dog."

It was a bold request, but if the boss was genuinely interested in Sky, the things Ana was asking for shouldn't be a problem for him.

Her boss looked at her suspiciously. "What things are we talking about here?"

"Clothes, jewelry and materials." she said boldly.

A brief silence followed, during which Ana's pulse increased. Had she said too much, would the boss disapprove? His eyebrow twitched and Ana's face remained rigid as she refused to let him look at her cards.

"Will that help?" asked Mr. Cornett, still slightly suspicious.

"Yes." Ana was sure it would help, not to get Ean'tu used to humans, but to make him more comfortable.

"Then you'll get what you need. Write down what you need and I'll make sure it finds its way to you," he agreed and Ana would have liked to breathe a sigh of relief, but he continued. "I'm actually here to talk to you about something else."

"Of course," Ana put on an interested face and seemed to be all ears.

"I plan to train Sky. Like a guard dog. He shall be trained in such a way that I can take him with me to banquets or other important meetings and that he will protect my life if necessary." he grinned. "Nobody gets in the way of a three-meter tall Na'vi, just imagine the concentrated power."

Ana would almost have stared at Mr. Cornett open-mouthed if she hadn't had a control of gold. What the man expected of her was impossible. Never would Ean'tu protect this man. No matter what Ana would try. Ean'tu hated humans, but most of all he hated the people here, every single one of them. Ana, however, could not possibly refuse. What would Mr. Cornett do to Ean'tu if he found out that his plan was impossible? Would he no longer have any use for the na'vi? Or would he perhaps blame Ana and send her back to Earth?

Somewhat taken by surprise, Ana swallowed. "Sky will have a long way to go before he's ready." she forced herself to answer.

"But it's possible?" her boss wanted Ana to confirm it to him.

"Well, with a lot of work, yes." she lied to his face. On the outside she looked calm, but on the inside she was upset and confused.

"Very nice, that's what I wanted to hear." He seemed satisfied, even pleased. "But don't take too long with it, I want to take him to the next big event."

Ana felt sick to her stomach. The pressure that was building up from her boss's words was immense. It was becoming increasingly clear that she was in an unsolvable situation, a situation that would not end well, no matter how she turned it around.

The ringing of a cell phone interrupted their conversation and it was Mr. Cornett's. Her boss pulled out his cell phone, before answering he turned to Ana again briefly, "send me the list of what you need and keep me informed."

With these words, he took the call and turned away. He left the station with the two soldiers. Then it was quiet and Ana could finally breathe again. A little confused, she found her way to her desk and sank into her chair.

"You look exhausted." Turner had turned around in his chair and was looking at her.

Could she really tell him what the boss had asked? That she had lied without batting an eyelid? Turner was her ally, she had to tell him. "The boss wants me to train Sky like a guard dog."

Mr. Turner's features slipped. "He wants to make him one of his bodyguards? Or how can I understand that?"

"Well, sort of..." Ana propped herself up on the desk and stroked her face with her hands.

"Let me guess... you took the assignment."

"Yes, and it feels terrible to lie."

"Above all, lies have short legs, what do you intend to do? You can't keep up this façade forever and Sky won't let himself be trained... even I know that." Turner looked at her worriedly.

"I don't know what to do yet, let me think about it for a while." It was clear to both of them that there would be no solution, but giving up wouldn't help. "For now, I will continue to work with Sky as usual, teach him our language and deepen our bond with him. There's also some good news."

He seemed interested and raised his eyebrows. "Well, let's hear it then."

"I've been given compromises in Sky's care, I'm allowed to make a list of things I think are absolutely necessary," she explained.

"That's actually good news. I honestly didn't think he would agree to something like that."

"I'm surprised too, but Sky will soon feel much more comfortable, as best he can in captivity." Ana was convinced that she wanted to do everything she could to make Ean'tu feel comfortable.

"In the future, however, you will need a plan for how you want to handle the situation," Turner then said warningly and she knew he was right. Ana just nodded, what more could she say. He turned back to his work and Ana leaned back in her chair, exhausted.

Tired, she looked to the side, towards the room where Ean'tu was. To her surprise, he was standing at the glass, both hands leaning against it, looking at her too. Their eyes met and Ana waved at him with an exhausted smile, but his gaze remained worried. Had he seen her talking to her boss? Did he know this man or was he a complete stranger to Ean'tu? She would not go to the Na'vi again today, Ana was tired. But that was not the only reason. She absolutely had to try to reach her secret contact. Ana had so many questions and, above all, she felt powerless.

"I'm going to my dorm today, I need to wash my clothes and get some new ones," she said to Turner. In fact, this was nothing new, she did it once a week, especially as she was usually on the ward all the time.

"Do that, your back will thank you for sleeping in a proper bed," Turner replied without looking up from his work. "I'll be in touch if there's anything wrong with Sky."

Ana only left the Na'vi behind very unwillingly, but she had to take care of her laundry and it was impossible for her to write to the secret contact here on the station. There was far too great a risk that she would be discovered.

Ana picked up her bag and walked one last time to the window behind which Ean'tu was standing. She put her hand on the glass and looked up at him. With her other hand, she made a gesture of farewell that the Na'vi understood. This way she let him know each time that she had to leave the station for a moment. Ean'tu's sad gaze met hers and he returned the gesture. Then she turned away and hurried to catch the team bus.

Freshly showered, Ana emerged from the small en suite bathroom of her room. She hadn't had the chance to take a long shower on the base and was glad to finally feel fresh again. Already wearing her sleeping clothes, she opened her laptop and sat down in front of it. Now she finally had the opportunity to contact Patra and leave an e-mail for the secret contact. Without hesitation, she wrote to Patra, 'I'm back at the dorm, can we talk?'

She then opened the program, through which she exchanged emails with the Mysterious Contact. They still didn't introduce themselves by name, leaving Ana in the dark. Of course, she had often thought about how risky the contact was and simply trusted them. But she had no other choice. If she wanted more information about the Na'vis, she had to deepen the contact. Because the other side was also cautious. Apparently, they also had to see whether they could trust Ana. Ana only gradually gained more information, which she exchanged with the information about Ean'tu.

The people from the contact wanted to know everything that had to do with him. No matter what progress Ana made with Ean'tu, what she found out, she shared it all in the emails.

Once a week, when she was back at the dormitory, she contacted them and reported back. This had been going on for weeks now.

While she was writing the report she wanted to send to the secret contact, Patra replied and she looked up. Only a fraction later, a call came in.

Ana answered the call. "Good evening," she greeted her only friend on Pandora.

"Good evening, nice to hear from you." Patra gave her a friendly smile through the webcam on her laptop. Apparently she was still at work, because in the background you could see the station where she was currently working.

"Yes, it's good to talk to you too," Ana agreed.

"My goodness, you look pretty exhausted, you must have hardly slept at the base."

"Not very well, at least." The room where the personnel could sleep was a common room where they slept among colleagues and even soldiers and guards. Each with a different shift, it was a constant in and out. On top of that, some people snored terribly. There was always a terrible restlessness in the room, which made it very difficult for Ana to sleep.

"But that's not all, is it?" Patra looked at her with her dark brown, almost black eyes. Her friend had seen through Ana. "What's going on? Something has happened."

Ana sighed loudly and stroked her face. "Our boss was on the ward today. A surprise visit, so to speak, completely unannounced."

"No! What really? And how was it?" Patra stopped what she was doing and turned her full attention to Ana.

"An unsympathetic, sleazy man who has a lot of repressed anger in him." Ana analyzed her boss roughly. "He saw me working with Sky and reacted in a completely strange way. Almost jealous. It all went badly. Turner and I decided to keep our work as secret as possible and the last thing I wanted was for my boss to see us getting close."

Ana buried her face in her hands in shame. What was she talking about? Just thinking about the way Ean'tu had looked at her, the way his skin had felt under her fingertips, made her heart race with excitement. Her boss had to come to the station then, of all times. Such an intimate moment that shouldn't have been so intimate. That was just unprofessional.

"You two got close?" Patra's watchful gaze was on her.

"... Oh nothing, just... Somehow we were so close emotionally. I can't really describe it." Ana could hardly put into words what she felt. Then she remembered what Ean'tu had said to her. "Tell me Patra... have you ever heard a na'vi say 'I see you'? Does that tell you anything?"

Now Patra was highly interested and she sat up straight. "Well... let's pretend I've talked to certain scientists about it and I know it's a greeting within their people, why do you want to know?"

"He said that to me, in his language of course. I had to ask, he said he saw me here." Ana pointed to her chest, where Ean'tu had touched her, where her heart beat. "I think he doesn't have the vocabulary to describe exactly what it means..."

Patra smiled fondly. "There's not much to say, it's more spiritual for the na'vi. He doesn't see you as a figure in front of him, he means you as a person, he understands who you are, what makes you who you are. That's how they explained it to me."

Ana listened and thought about what was said. She liked the meaning. What connected Ean'tu and her was somehow impossible to explain in words, it wasn't tangible or logical. But it was there, and Ana was sure that Ean'tu felt it too. It helped them to trust each other.

"If Sky said that to you, then that's a good thing. He seems to really like and appreciate you." Patra explained again.

"You're probably right and I appreciate him a lot too. I have to admit that he's grown very close to my heart in the time I've spent on Pandora."

Patra nodded. "Of course, you're with him every day and work closely with him, so it's normal that you grow closer together. Besides, you have to remember, he only has you Novak. No one else."

Now that Patra had said it clearly, she realized it once again. Ean'tu could only talk to her. He only got affection, attention and closeness from Ana, no one else. Everyone else treated him like an object. Yet Ean'tu was so emotionally sensitive. He must have been terribly lonely.

"You're right, the good thing is that I was able to convince Mr. Cornett, my boss, to improve Sky's living conditions," Ana said, leaning on the table again. "I'm going to make a list of things I think are necessary, and part of the enclosure is going to be replanted, so Sky got to choose something."

"That's great news! Sky is lucky that you're so committed to him."

"I'll definitely give it my all." Ana smiles.

A glance at the clock reminded her that it was getting late and that she still hadn't finished writing the report she wanted to send to the secret contact. "I'm afraid I have to hang up, I still have a report to write and I wanted to leave straight away in the morning so that Sky doesn't have to be alone for so long."

"Of course, I'll get back to work then too." Patra pointed to a device she was tinkering with. "Sleep well Novak, we'll hear from each other."

"Yes, good night. See you then." Ana hung up and reopened the writing program in which she was typing the report. Fortunately, she didn't have to write too much more, because tiredness was really starting to catch up with her.

As she wrote the report, she reviewed everything that had happened so far. Her thoughts were full of Ean'tu, of Na'vis in general. With all the information she had already learned through the secret contact. She would never have thought that something would take hold of her like this. Every second she had, she was trying to get information or understand new information. She worked out new curricula for Ean'tu so that his English would improve quickly, but also new concepts on how she could progress with him in general.

When she had finished writing the report, she attached it to the email and wrote the message. She talked about the visit from her boss and her helplessness. Ana was just a gear in a big machine. At the moment, she had no choice but to play her role and do exactly what was asked of her. Never before had this triggered a conflict of interest in her. She had always been very happy with her role in society and in her jobs. But the longer she was on Pandora and worked with Ean'tu, the more she changed. Ana began to think, feel and act differently, but was it really because of the moon she now called home? At least for the time being. Or was it because of the Na'vi she was working with?

She couldn't say exactly, but there was a lot she couldn't quite put her finger on. So many thoughts and feelings were running through her mind, so many things she hadn't felt before. It overwhelmed her. Somehow Ana continued to function, although she often had the feeling that she was watching herself over her shoulder.

After expressing her despair about her boss's new plan in the email and asking for advice, she sent the email. She could only hope that the people Ana secretly exchanged emails with knew what to do or perhaps offered her help. Alone, she certainly didn't feel as if she was up to it and knew what to do.

Completely exhausted and inwardly agitated, she closed the laptop and got into bed. Ana clearly needed sleep and she had to process what she had experienced. Even though her thoughts were constantly revolving around her worries, she quickly found the rest she needed and fell asleep.

I've been reading some fanfics with Noa and I love them, so I thought I'd give it a go. It's my first time writing so...don't judge me to hard.

Noa × human OC

Belonging

Always the same thing around the 'bunker', no one told you the things that were happening, you hated that. You felt like they still treated you like a little child even though you were in your twenties already.

"Yes, didn't you know? We're going on an excursion." Samantha said to me while I was drying the dishes after dinner.

"Of course, I didn't, nobody tells me anything around here. It's annoying" You muttered

You were the best tracker they had, you loved being outside, learning the ways of nature, and still nobody ever took you into account when expeditions like this happened.

"Hey, that's enough Sam." A voice said entering the kitchen. "Don't listen to her, she's just trying to get on your nerves"

You looked back and smiled at the comment. Lila always knew how to calm things down.

"Why don't you speak with Anna? Maybe she'll let you go this time." Lila said

"Yes, like every other time I asked her" You scoffed and shook your head.

"C'mon, I'll go with you." Lila pushed

"I don't even own a horse yet." You said

"Well...that's your own fault, Envy could've been yours, you just gave her away to Kiara". Lila reminded you.

Kiara, the daughter of a couple that was part of the council, the leaders of your group. She was like a little sister to you ever since you met her. You had no family, your dad died on an expedition, most say apes killed him, and your mother died soon after she gave birth to you. Medicine was scarce and trying to make it from scratch was hard, not impossible since you had a lab in the facility but still, sometimes the main components were just to available.

Most expeditions could last for months, trying to find more humans, more medicine, or even mark places where apes had their homes so no one would go near. You had the firearms, but not the manpower to fight them alone.

You never understood the hate your kind had towards the apes, yes, they were now more and had claimed a lot of the land humans once ruled, but they had also healed the land. No humans meant trees and animals were free to repossess what was once theirs, and apes were not using human machines that harm the earth, so everything had regained its balance in a way. Since you were little, you went out of the bunker with a horse, you learned how to fish, how to hunt, how to track and look for things outside, you never understood why you felt more connected to nature than to your own people. 'They never understood' you'd think. ‘They will never see the world as I see it'.

Anyway, all of that wasn't going to change, so you had to take what was given to you and make the most out of it. Lila and you went to Ana, she was distracted with the preparations for the expedition. This time, from what Lila had told you, they were going to look for more survivors and other bunkers to see if those had more medicine.

"Ana, mind if we talk to you for a moment?" Lila asked

"What? Yeah, sure. What's up?" Ana said absent-mindedly while she tripled checked the supplies. It looked like they were going for some months at least.

Lila looked at you and pushed you softly, and nodded at you when you looked back. You took a deep breath and spoke.

"So...Ana, I heard about the expedition and I wanted to know why you hadn’t called for me? You know I'm one of the best people to take in things like that. I can survive pretty well on my own while I'm outside."

Ana sighed and stopped what she was doing.

"Y/N, you know the reason, I need you here, protecting everyone else" She said while putting her hands on your shoulders

"No one ever comes close to this place since we put the electric fence around! Let me go!"

"Y/N" Lila spat at me. "Careful with your words!"

I just stared at her with anger.

"You have absolutely no good reason to not let me go. Please, I can really help if something goes wrong!"

Ana didn't have a comeback for that, she knew what you were saying was right, she knew how helpfull you could be, and still the promise she had made to your mother drilled into her head could not allow you to go with them. You were already in your twenties, now there was no good excuse to tell you to stay and Ana knew this. She sighed again and with a very sad tone agreed to your request. You were going with them, and that was that.

----------‐-----------------

-The next morning-

Ana and Aaron, parents of Kiara, were the ones in charge of this expedition. Samantha, Lila, Carlos, Seth (Samantha's uncle), and you were the rest of the group.

You went to get your stuff ready on Envy, the mare that was meant to be yours, but for some reason you had decided to give her to Kiara, still, she thought of Envy as a shared horse more than her own. Kiar knew how much you loved her, and she didn't mind giving her to you in times like this.

"Take care of each other, ride safely." Kiara said with a smile on her face while petting the side of the mare.

"We will, sis, we'll be back before you know it. Anything special you want me to look for?"

Kiara shook her head. " I just need you to come back to me, that's it."

"Aaww dear, of course I will." You said hugging little Kiara.

You loved her, she was the only one that understood you and never judged you. One day you were going to take her exploring with you, so you could show her everything you loved.

Two weeks passed. Everyone was a little on edge since the news of contact had gotten to you. Apparently, a week ago the satellites started working again and your walkie-talkies that you carried mostly just to feel like you were connected somehow started working again. The people on the bunker told Ana and Aaron that a girl, similar age to you and Lila, had found the missing piece to get satellite connection back on. We knew about the bunker on the east but we had little contact with them and the nomads that were looking for ways to communicate with each other had been murder by a big group of apes, but apparently one of the girls of the nomad group had survived and, with the help of some apes, was able to get to where the main computers where locked and retrieve de disc.

This news had everyone in our group freaked out, it had been a long time since we had been able to communicate over long distances. Some were happy about it, they were thinking that this way we were going to able to rebuilt what was ours, but others were weary of what other humans wanted. 'Humans are selfish and will do anything to get power' Others thought.

Our group tried to maintain calm during all this, we still had to find supplies and medicine that was not going to arrive even if we had connection with other humans. More people meant more food, more space needed and more medicine that we did not have to spare.

At night everyone was silently eating what you had hunted for the day. You were pretty good at using different weapons, but your favorite was the bow and arrow, you almost never missed unless you wanted to. The others had guns, and some knives with them, but most of them knew that using guns out hear meant that everything in a 1km radius or more could hear and pinpoint our location.

"We could've been eating earlier if we had used my gun, I never miss" Samantha spoke showing a cocky grin to you.

You just rolled your eyes at her.

"If we had done your way, every single ape around here would've come looking for us." Seth said calmingly.

Samantha hated it when he agreed with your methods, and you knew it; in a way, it made you proud when he did. He would always be om Samantha's side and agree with her, he never liked agreeing with you, but sometimes he just had to.

"You should be thanking Y/N for her quick thinking. Otherwise, we would've had to eat the dried-up food we brought, and I don't think anybody wanted more of that" Ana said laughing at the end. The rest of the group followed making faces of disgust and laughing at the comment of our leader.

"How long until we get to the big buildings?" Lila asked when everyone had calmed down

"Sadly, I think we'll have to go back. Ana and I have been thinking about it and it's better to be with everyone else at the moment." Aaron answered

"Uncertain times call for unity." Ana added

Seth nodded and kept eating.

You were thinking. The group needed medicine, and other things...maybe a tiny group could keep pushing forward while the adults went back.

"And what if some of us stayed? You said it yourself Aaron, we are a week away from the buildings and we need everything we can find over there. A small group will not be noticed as easily as all of us" you said.

You had a point, and they knew it. After some discussion, the leaders agreed, Lila and you could keep going, the rest was to go back with them. Samantha was going to disagree, but she knew better than to stay with you two. Lila and you were inseparable, and Samantha would only be outnumbered in any decision you made.

The next morning everyone gave you half of their rations for food since you two were going to need them more than them, and then they set off for the bunker.

Lila and you waved at them, and then kept going.

For some time, it was quiet between you two, but Lila was not going to let that be.

"Sooo, wanna race?" Lila said with a sparkle in her eyes.

You knew what that meant. The idea was in her mind, now you could only accept the challenge.

"I mean...It's kind of unfair. Char is not meant for sprinting" you said with a grin.

"And Envy is?" Lila replied

"Oh, I know she's faster that Char." You said, knowing full well that she was fast in short distances and Lila was thinking more of a long-distance race.

"Well, then start! See you at the end!" Lila said kicking softly the side of her mare that sprinted away.

"Hey no fair!" You yelled doing the same with Envy.

You passed trees and creeks so fast you felt like you were going to fall off the horse. Impressively you were just behind Lila and Char, who was galloping with all her might.

You were so enthralled by how fast Char was going that you barely missed a branch that could've hit you down.

Eventually Lila made Char stop. You kept going, but Lila screamed at you to stop.

"What? I thought we were going to end?" You said out of breath riding back to where they were.

"Look up" She said, almost like a whisper.

You did and saw tall buildings in front of you all covered in vines and trees. The trees had broken some of the sediments of the building but were also holding them up. Most of them were broken, and some had collapsed, probably by the sheer size of them.

"Wow, they are amazing" Lila said.

There were rows of them, all conquered back by nature itself. It was beautiful to see how two completely opposite things could come together to create art. All green and grey together forming structures that you had never seen before.

You were both still gawking at the immensity of the buildings when you heard a noise up in the sky. Eagles, huge and magnificent eagles. You had seen some flying around on your own little excursions, but now they were closer than ever.

"Should we follow them?" Lila whispered, this was unknown territory to her, this was more your area of interest.

"Mmm maybe for a while just to see where they take us." You said firmly. " We can also walk and get in some of these buildings to see if we find something" You added.

Lila nodded and dismounted Char, you followed suit. Both of you took the reins of each mare and pulled gently so they kept up with the pace you set.

Three days you walked and searched for supplies with no luck. You tried entering every building you could, but some of them where to destroy to even walk on the floor. Others had entrances that were too high for either of you to climb, and if you did climb the hard part later was going down.

"Thank goodness you came prepared, Y/N." Lila said, struggling while climbing down a rope.

"Don't mention it, just keep going we're almost at the bottom" You said short of breath. You were no stranger to climbing but doing it almost every day for 3 days was taking its toll on you.

Lila let go of the rope and landed on the ground huffing.

"We can't keep doing this, Y/N. It's too tiring. We aren't apes to be climbing around without a care in the world!"

"I know I know, but we've found some good stuff nonetheless" You said as you stretched out after jumping off the rope, you went back and pulled the rope 2 times so it could fall off the makeshift hook you had made to tie it up.

"Some expired painkillers and a bunch of gardening tools is NOT good stuff!"

Lila sighed, even though you’d a nice time sharing this little adventure together you were starting to feel hopeless. Maybe it was time to go back, maybe the others had gotten supplies from the other camp, and you were doing nothing out here but waste time.

"Lila…you can go you know?" You said softly cleaning some arrows that you had used to hunt rabbits earlier.

"What? And leave you here?? Are you insane?!"

"No… I just feel like my time here is not over yet. Yours though…"

"Nu uh, I'm not leaving you alone, we don't even know where exactly we are."

"It's my decision Lila"

"Bullshit! I know you love nature and such, but everyone is waiting for us!"

"Everyone?" You said lowering your head.

Lila didn't answer, she knew that most of the people treated you like an outsider. No one ever told her why, the only reason she could think of wad that you had no family left alive, but that was a cruel way of treating your own kind.

"Fine, I'll take what we found back. What do you expect me to say to the rest when you don't arrive with me huh?" Lila asked

"You tell them half the truth, that I simply didn't want to come back"

"That's the 'half-truth' to you?"

"Ok ok," you said rolling your eyes. " Tell them you begged me to go back, and I said I would keep looking for stuff for a couple more days, then you never met again with me"

"Mmm, alright. So, you got killed?"

"What?! No! Idiot" You said pushing her playfully. Lila just chuckled.

"I'm gonna miss you (Y/nickname)." Lila sniffled while hugging you.

You hugged her back with some tears in your eyes.

"I'll be back before you know it, I promise"

Lila waved goodbye to you while riding Char out of the jungle of buildings, you waved back until you couldn't see her anymore.

After that you kept searching for anything really for a couple of days, until one day the promises you had made to Lila and Kiara were going to be broken.

–----------------------------------------

One day while you were scavenging around in a building you heard noises, noises you hadn't heard before. You took Envy and hid her next to some bushes at the side of a building and tried to keep her relaxed.

As the noise came closer it became clearer: apes.

You never really had contact with them since you were always cradled inside the bunker. The only experience you had was the stories people would tell you, but once you started growing up you stopped believing everything the adults told you.

You were a little apprehensive about the situation at hand but as long as Envy obeyed you, you were sure the apes would pass as quickly as they came.

"You only try to show off when climbing, the other things you just avoid!" A female voice said

"Not true! Anaya never avoids challenges, right Noa?" A male voiced reply

'Anaya and Noa' you made a mental note of the names, not sure why. You heard them walking away so you went out of your hiding place little by little, looking around you just in case you needed to hide from them.

From where you were you could see 3 apes; one had an armband different than the other two. You felt bad spying on them, but your curiosity got the best of you. You kept listening in the conversation, but you also noticed they would sign sometimes and that got lost in translation. The only signs you knew were tactical warfare signs that Aaron had thaught you when you were learning about weapons with Lila and Samantha.

"Soona is right, Anaya always showing off then running away when something goes wrong" The third one spoke, another male. After that the three started making a noise that you could only compare to laugh.

"I'll show you, climb to top to see sunset. First one wins!" The other male said running in all fours and starting to climb the building in front of you with ease.

"Anaya wait!" The female voice shouted but followed right behind him.

The other male chuckled and followed his friends up the building.

You were mesmerized by how athletic and big they were, but something inside you also wanted to follow them so you could see at least one sunset. The past days you've had missed all of them because of the tall canopy, but not today. The renewed strength gave you confidence that you could climb to the top of the building you were hiding behind.

You took your trusty rope and, your bow and some arrows just in case they attacked you and started climbing up. The building that you had chosen was in pretty good state, it still had most of its stairs and you didn't have to jump too far from one part of some broken stairs to another, which would also be handy when climbing down.

About 3 floors from getting to the top, you encountered the biggest problem: no more stairs. They were all broken or looked very unstable, your best option to climb up was the outside of the building. The design made it look like a stair, and if you went a little bit over the edge that was keeping you from falling you could see a metal hook thingy in which you could tie a rope to climb down.

First you made a knot at the end of the rope with just enough space to insert it in the hook, after that you threw that end of the rope with just enough strength to get it to where you needed it. It took you 3 attempts, but eventually you made it and started climbing the rope. Your hands were already tired from days before, but the view would make it all worth it.

Eventually when you were halfway through something made a weird noise. At first you didn't pay much attention to it but then y sounded again and this time you felt the rope moving. The hook couldn't withstand your weight anymore, and you could feel it just pulling down.

You tried to keep taking deep breaths but that was not working, they were faster than before.

*crack*

You looked up and saw the rope sliding off the hook even farther than before, that was when you started panicking. Your breathing wasn't steady anymore and now you were seconds away from falling from the almost top of the building.

A piece of the building where the hook was gave up and you let go of the rope for milliseconds and eventually grabbed the rope but it burned because of the friction, and you screamed in pain.

Noa and his friends, who were happily watching the sunset, looked at each other when you screamed. The three of them looked around for the thing that had made such a horrible sound but couldn't see anything.

You tried climbing up again, but now your hands were bloody from the fall, and you were slipping from the rope. You were in agony.

"Please, not like this, I can't die like this" You said to yourself trying to reassure yourself that you were not going to die.

That's when Noa heard you and looked over the building, he signaled his friends to jump to the other building.

"She will die if we don't help," Soona said with worry.

" What do we do?" Anaya asked Noa.

Noa went to were the rope was tied.

"Please don't kill me!" You shouted, looking up seeing one of the apes.

Noa frowned his face but kept trying to pull you up.

You understood then he was trying to help, but you knew the extra weight on the now unstable floor was not going to help.

"No, let go! You'll make it worse!" You tried to explain with tears rolling down your face. You couldn't stand the pain anymore.

Eventually the rope itself started tearing up, you were about 15 meters from the ground, you knew it was unlikely to survive that fall, your only hope was now with the 3 apes that were trying to help.

You saw the male ape trying, again, to pull you up, but it was useless with the rope tearing, and that's when it happened.

The rope tore apart, and you started to fall, your only hope for surviving was the trees below you would cushion your fall enough for you not to die. The only thing you were able to come up with was using your left arm to cover your neck as best you could.

Silence. Silence followed after your fall. Anaya was the first one to get to you and he poked you with a stick.

Soona quickly took the stick from him and went to check if you were still alive. She saw that you were still breathing thankfully. But your left forearm was completely broken.

"What happens now?" Soona asked Noa.

Noa was not sure what to do, his instincts told him to leave you there to die, after all, you were Echo. You would only mean problems to the clan, but there was another part of him that felt responsible for you and wanted to help you out.

"We take her home, help her wounds. After that, she has to leave." Noa said to Soona.

Soona nodded and took your frail body, and the three friends started their journey back home, back to Eagle Clan.
