You were with Neteyam hunting in the forest. You made a bet on who would kill an animal first. Neteyam says he will do it, but you also insist that you will win.

After a few long minutes, when nothing appeared in your sight, you thought you couldn't win anymore. However, you heard a small rustle (which fortunately the boy standing behind you didn't hear). The leaves of the bush moved slightly and then a medium-sized animal ran out from behind them.

You nocked your arrow, aimed the right point and shot. The creature fell to the ground, bleeding profusely from the wound where the arrow was stuck.

"Ha! Ftue!" you let out a scream of joy and turned to Neteyam. The boy turned with raised eyebrows, immediately landing his gaze on the lying animal.

Despite the fact that you won, a sincere smile bloomed on his face. He held his bow in his left hand and cupped your cheek with his right hand, stroking your cheek gently with his thumb. "You did it." he laughed.

"I know. I can't wait to tell Kiri. Her older warrior brother, lost to his less experienced girlfriend" you laughed showing your fangs and your hand landed on his chest gently nudging him.

His smile faded as he stared at the spot behind you. He stood still with his hand on your cheek. You wanted to turn around to see what he was looking at, but his grip on the cheek made it impossible.

"Do not move." he whispered, making eye contact with you. "Will you do something for me?"

"Teyam what is this?" you asked, frowning. You didn't understand what he meant.

"You have to get out of here, okay? Run straight to the village." he replied with a stern expression on his face. You thought he was making fun of you and pushed his hand away to see if there was actually something behind you. And it was.

In the place of trees, leaves and bushes stood Thanator. He stood there completely still, calmly watching you. So the earlier animal run, sensing danger in the distance.

"Kä" he said grabbing your arm and turning you towards him. "Kehe" you whispered nervously as you nocked an arrow to your bow.

A stupid order on his part, of course there was no way you would leave him alone with this creature. True, he was a very good fighter, almost like his father, but the Thanator was a deadly threat.

You wanted to turn around and aim an arrow at the animal, but you flinched as the creature roared loudly heading straight for you two.

Maybe it wasn't very logical, but the boy pushed you to the side, so that you fell off a small rock. He nocked his arrow aiming straight at him. For a moment you thought that Thanator was running straight at you, but after a while you realized that he was heading straight at Neteyam.

You couldn't control your thoughts. You must have done something or Neteyam has little chance against this huge creature. You didn't have your bow because it fell off when you fell. So you decided to get his attention.

You jumped like a slingshot and howled loudly, meeting the nervous gaze of the boy who was nodding his head from side to side in incomprehension. But it worked, the animal focused on you. You started running as fast as you could. You avoided trees, branches and bushes, jumping every now and then.

But thanator was dodging everything easily catching up with you. You had to confuse him or he'll get you. You saw a tree whose roots protruded quite high and created a not very durable shelter.

But they might have helped you gain a few seconds advantage on the animal. In the blink of an eye, you jumped into the hole, banging your back against the ground. You hissed in pain as the animal in the meantime began to break through the roots with its huge paws.

Fatal mistake. There was only one side exit, but he would have sensed you and noticed you. You had no choice, Neteyam wasn't around and the roots were starting to break from the weight of the animal.

You crawled out of the hole, but Thanator had already sensed what you were doing and ran around the tree, finding you. You thought you had no chance seeing his mouth wide open roaring at you.

However, before he could do anything, an arrow flew into his mouth, wounding him deeply, causing him to immediately fall to the ground.

You had your hand on your chest with shock written all over your face. You turned around and saw Neteyam standing a few feet away.

When he saw you were scared, he ran to you and took your face in his hands. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" he asked, checking you from head to toe. "Kehe" you gasped as you made eye contact with him.

His gaze was concerned and warm. You stood on your tiptoes and pressed your lips together in a deep kiss. Neteyam grabbed your waist with one hand and grabbed your back with the other, whereupon you broke the kiss and hissed in pain.

"What? Let me see" he spun you back then his eyes landed on the bloody nape of your neck. When you fell into the hole, you must have cut yourself on one of the sharp branches.

"I'm fine." You turned to him slightly annoyed. "And you're not. You wanted to be alone with Thanator and tell me to go to the village? That was crazy." You changed the subject and stared at him angrily, which made him chuckle pulling you closer to him.

"I need to protect what's mine." he said stroking your head. "Right? I could handle him, you were crazy to get his attention."

"Mhm, I have to protect what's mine too, Teyam." You repeated his words, smiling widely.

"Okay, let's go, we need to dress your wound." he said, looking out of the corner of his eye at the animal that was already dead. He grabbed your hand and you walked towards the village.

"Irayo Si, Neteyam." you looked at him. To which he looked back.

"Irayo Si, Y/n."
