Usage examples of akan.

I saw Akan tumble past me, I heard my own panicked screams echoed in his.

I saw, not far from me, the boy Akan slowly straightening from a slumped position in the sand, and beside him, Nefar.

I turned to see that Akan had stepped into the air as well, and his hands were raised high in triumph, his eyes alight with joy.

Then there was a jerk on my arm so fierce as to almost cause it to leave its socket and Akan pulled me against him.

I spared but a single glance backward toward the place Nefar had been before I once again felt something crumbling with the breeze beneath my feet and I ran, I leapt, I threw myself with Akan toward the cliff we had abandoned.

Nonetheless, I somehow managed to get to my feet and, without a word being exchanged between us, Akan and I scrambled down the cliff.

Nefar on one side and Akan on the other, the three of us with breaths suspended and heartbeats stilled with the thrill, the awe of what we were witnessing.

I remember Akan dropped his torch and how we fumbled for endless, soul-numbing moments to recover it.

Only Akan stood still and quiet, resigned perhaps, or simply understanding that there was no escape.
