part 2

"so, your... thing bleeds every month?"

you nod

"are you stupid?

"i'm sorry?"

ao'nung clicks his tongue, looking at you with disbelieve. "that means you're doing something, only Eywa knows what, to yourself. and you’re doing it so badly that it bleeds-"

you hit him on the head, "no! what are you even thinking?"

"no, but seriously" neteyam looks at you with concern, "forgive me for watching you, but this morning i saw you wash your blanket that’s literally soaked with blood"

your face starts to heat up, "that means the cloth i use wasn't enough-"

"3 pieces of cloth to soak your blood. and it wasn't even enough?" tsireya's voice filled with worry, "are you sure you're okay? we could ask my mother to patch you up" 

"reya, im fine-"

"no you're not! you came to her for painkillers, this morning. to mend your stomach cramps!"

"its probably tape worms"

"no shit", rotxo snickers

"or just a real bad constipation"

"rotxo, ao’nung please” kiri rolls her eyes, tired of their stupidity. “they clearly said that the bleeding comes from their other below"

not long after lo'ak snaps his head towards you, mouth agape. "holy shit. i think i know what's going on" then he quickly moves closer to you. his face just a few inches from yours, his terrified look terrifies you

"my mother experienced the same things as you, when we were about to have tuk. stomach hurting, below bleeding- "

"no. fucking. way” rotxo clasps his mouth, “are you about to give birth?"

"what?"

ao’nung’s jaw dropped. “who knocked you up?” 

“that’s it i’m taking you to the tsahik” 

“STOP” 

your friends went quiet. 

they could only stare at your flushed face as your breathing went erratic. 

you gulp, trying to calm yourself down. you close your eyes, inhaling a good amount of oxygent to fill your lungs and letting your mind go blank. then, you could open your mouth again

"as you all know, female bodies bear children in their uterus, yes?"

they all nod

"good. now the uterus, in human bodies specifically, would prepare for pregnancy every month-"

"so you need to get pregnant every month?"

"shut up rotxo"

"wait a minute" kiri cuts you off, "you’re not pregnant, but you’re currently bleeding. so the bleeding occurs when the pregnancy doesn’t happen?"

"yup. because i'm not pregnant, my womb's lining shreds out"

their terrified screams deafens you

ᥫ᭡ pairing :: neteyam sully x human! reader

ᥫ᭡ synopsis :: in omaticayan culture, a young na’vi male does not yet become a full fledged adult until he passes one of two rites of passage: 1) choosing an ikran, and 2) carving a bow from the wood of Hometree (and/or choosing a woman). reader is now 20, and the only man she’s ever loved is expected to choose a wife soon. one day when she overhears a rumor concerning neteyam and the first woman in line to betroth him, reader is struck with grief, ultimately venturing off deep into the forest where she knows nobody will follow her—somewhere forbidden. however, unbeknownst to her, a certain someone follows her trail…

ᥫ᭡ genre :: mature

ᥫ᭡ general tags :: 18+ (explicit sexual content, explicit language), angst, fluff

ᥫ᭡ content warnings :: characters aged up to 20, use of alcohol, inebriation, size kink (kinda), vaginal fingering, oral sex (f receiving), male masturbation, overstimulation, riding (no penetration), m/f ejaculation, squirting…i took some things out but i think that’s it?

ᥫ᭡ notes :: what a long week this has been…but we made it! i cannot believe the first thing i post after being on hiatus for months is blue alien sex. anyway, i hope you all enjoy. also, be mindful that the dialogue switches between formal and casual. it’s something that i noticed neteyam and kiri do a lot in the movie. for what reason? idk…but the big font after the read more is intentional bc ik some ppl complain that the small font hurts their eyes :3

ᥫ᭡ word count :: 7.2k

— playlist :: spotify link

“You have been wandering off by yourself a lot lately…” 

There goes that attentiveness, you could never put anything past her—Kiri, that is. She was just too good (to a fault), and though her keen eye and emotional intelligence were extremely useful, they were also the most aggravating traits about her. 

Keep reading

I'll post chapter 4 of 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦 tomorrow but enjoy this fan art. (And I also went to watch Avatar for the second time but in 3D🤭)

If I don’t get out of this avatar hyperfixation by midnight tonight, I’m gonna carry it out through the whole year tbh

[blehrbie-blog]

Also i keep seeing people say that Quarritch is gonna have a redemption arc BITCH IF HE DOESNT HAVE THE MOST VIOLENT AND VISCERAL DEATH I WILL NOT ABLE TO HANDLE IT

[blehrbie-blog]

This is very random but I've been doing some reading and I found that supposedly Na'vi people believe that their souls are recycled through Eywa. So when people die they will essentially one day be reborn in a different body with the same soul and I just think that's beautiful and it made me feel better about Neteyam's death ☹ Maybe he will one day get to be with his family again (i'mgonnacry)

[blehrbie-blog]

Guys I'm not even joking I'm gonna have to go watch this movie for a third time. I just can't deal with the fact that they'll stop showing it in the cinema at some point and I can't just hop in and live on Pandora for 3 hours. In 4DX as well😭😭😭 nah i'm going i can't do this

[blehrbie-blog]

I came to put this here because it made me cry.

This is the song that Neytiri sings at the beginning of the movie and at Neteyam's funeral

I experience Neteyam To the great mother my inside You brought the ligtht New life Great joy that is in the heart We thank you For the nights of life We thank you For the days of life O Eywa O Eywa

Welcome, Kiri I bring you to the family I experience the light A miracle arrives A birth that comes from me Great joy that is in the heart Great joy that is in the heart We thank you For the nights of life We thank you For the days of life O Eywa

This song was composed by Neytiri for Neteyam and Kiri, when she was pregnant/gave birth to Neteyam and when Kiri was born (both are the same age) that's why she says she experiences the great mother inside of her (referring to Neteyam, since he is her biological son) and about Kiri he says "welcome" and that he brings her to the family (since she is adopted) and this same song Neytiri sings at Neteyam's funeral, but the song was composed when her two were born first children (neteyam and kiri)

neteyam x human!reader

°:. *₊ ° . ° .•

a/n: the domestic bliss got me so, here it is / let’s say you guys are the same age /spoilers??

enjoy!

being a human on pandora isn’t easy as you might think. breathing air? not possible without a mask. traveling around? quite difficult with human’s capability.

but those didn’t stop you from loving this planet any less.

you are one of those babies who didn’t got a chance to travel back to earth 10 years ago, and you are not complaining.

pandora is much quieter and more peaceful (well, not yet, and we are here for fluff)

spider is one of your friends, well your only friend, until you meet netayam and the sullys. spider taught you the na’vi language, until you are fluent to a certain level. you can catch many phrases, but, unfortunately, can not reply.

you first met neteyam when you were both still young. he was practicing hunting for fish and you were exploring around the forest

“ok, near the rock, just as dad told…,” a young blue na’vi mumbled to himself and stretched back his arm, holding his weapon. splash! a loud sound echoed from the water as the fish was caught dead by the sharp tip. “yes! dad! I did it! I caught a fish!”

“…dad?” he looked into the bush as he saw your (e/c) reflected by the sunlight.

he crawled closer to the bush as he saw you running away deep into the forest. without any delay, he followed your footsteps and scents. along the way, admiring your beautiful choice of path into the damp grassy area. there, he found you napping peacefully by a tree and woodsprites surrounded you. your hair contrasted the green grass perfectly, yet your exomask covers your face from his.

“…hey,” the boy nudged you slightly causing you to stirred awake.

“wh..who are you?” you gathered yourself quickly, hiding your face from him. “oh wait, do you even know what I am saying? um…sorry, Ohe can’t tukru na’vi (I can’t speak na’vi)”

“you are funny, because you are speaking it right now, i am neteyam, who are you?” he giggled “I haven’t seen you around before, let alone a human,” he turned your face towards him. he tapped playfully on your mask, examining it as he looked into it.

“i am um…(y/n), and I haven’t left the lab that much,” neteyam stared into your eyes. “you must be spider’s friend, he told me about his friends.”

“are you related to spider?! must be nice keeping you to himself,” he fake pouted. “i want to have more human friends, my brother have five fingers like you!”

“well, you can meet me again by the lab. I didn’t left it that much, because i don’t have friends, except spider, of course, but he likes to leave me alone in the forest,” you rolled your eyes and received a giggled from neteyam.

“i can be your friend! and i promise I’ll never leave you in the forest!” he grinned showing his whitey teeth.

it was easy to say that your life had never been the same ever since

your duty patrolling grace’s tank at the lab isn’t so boring as before, and you get to meet and know grace’s legacy, kiri

neteyam would visit the lab with kiri more often, making up excuses like he wants to make sure she is okay while visiting grace.

another reason he likes to see you in the lab, because he can touch your face without the difficulties of a mask. he likes to hold your hand and especially your pinkie.

you, neteyam, and kiri became greats friends. while sometimes you would visit them in the forest; you noticed neytiri wasn’t giving spider the warmest welcome, so you learned to keep a space from her

neteyam, the being the older brother he is, is always protective of you and his siblings. you two are often teased as the parents of the group.

neteyam will carry you wherever and whenever you want. even times when you insist you can walk on your own, but he will carry you through the jungle.

tuk is very attached to you, even though she is 2x bigger than you but she’s your baby sister.

kiri is your bestieee, and she definitely knows all the tea. you will always comfort her when she gets picked on for her hands.

“these pinkies are here for special reason, it is for pinkie promises. a special promise for special someone, and you are special to me, kiri,” she smiled back.

the middle brother, lo’ak, is quite reserved at first but you’ve managed to melt his wall away. your warmth that his brother couldn’t resist made him comforted every time he is around you.

he sees you as an older sister and you’ve managed to made him listen more than his own brother. you know how to cheer him up and comfort him wherever he felt that he is his brother’s shadow. you became soft mother figure to him.

jake, being somewhat of a human, took you under his wings. he sees you and neteyam often teasing each other, and that reminded him of himself. (neteyam: one down, one more to go)

he is always glad that there is someone helping him and his wife around the house. you were there to support his children emotionally and physically, sometimes.

well, years had passed and the ‘lovebirds’ had grown stronger ever than before.

everything was going smoothly, until two reasons.

one, the sky people are back again.

two, you have grown weaker than before.

your human body was great but you hoped that you could have an avatar of your own, and coincidentally, the lab had been creating one for you. (definitely neteyam did not asked for one and definitely he did not begged his grandma to help with consciousness transfer)

“we have to take your DNA, okay? my (y/n)…” neteyam ran his hand through your head and hair calming you down. “i don’t know ways to help you other than this, i don’t want to lose you, alright? you are my best friend.”

‘you are the love of my life!’ you thought. “yes, i know, neteyam, take my DNA even if it means i am dying soon.”

“no! you are not dying, the sky people are here, well, yes, they might be your species, but you are special to me, okay?” he sighed. “I will not lose my best friend, not to a problem we have a solution to.”

“i don’t know why are we fighting for! you know that i am about to die, why then worth trying something that can be passed on for spider or other human with more opportunities and possibilities than me!”

“please, dont make this harder, okay?”

“neteyam! neteyam! nete-“ and that was the last thing you saw, netayam holding you down and a scientist with an anesthesia.

…

“grandma, how is she taking it?” neteyam strolled hurriedly around your body.

“wait out, you hot-headed boy, she’s going through…”

“what- what is going on?”

“(y/n)!” “(y/n)!” the blue faced boy went ahead and hugged your body close.

“neteyam, glad to see you-“ “woah- you aren’t so big anymore, my- my feet! they’re huge! woah- i have a tail? look! woah- what- my ear is like a cat’s”

“woah- woah woah, take it easy, my (y/n), that’s what i go through for 15 years, you just had it for one minute and you’re going crazy!” he giggled. “see? it wasn’t so bad after all and what’s a cat?”

“silly of you, neteyam- but why the tree of souls?”

“got cha consciousness transferred, wouldn’t have it done the scientifac- scientific ways,” he tapped your forehead slightly. “i begged for grandma myself, glad she’s helping out, or we’re doomed.”

“thank you, neteyam.”

life didn’t get easier after that, but you were now together, at last.

the sullys welcomed you quickly and warmly, neytiri had some hard times but jake reminded her once again of their past.

-spoilers-

uncertain times calls for uncertain choices, the sullys decided to move to the metkayina for shelter.

neteyam and his siblings, along with you, flew across the ocean toward your temporary home.

the flight there was risky as you guys had to travel across the storms and oceans. neteyam held you tightly within his embrace the whole flight.

the first few weeks, he often cries whenever he is alone with you, saying you are his safe house.

“i- i want to go home, (y/n), i can’t do this anymore,” he sniffles on your lap.

“i am so sorry, nete, we are here now, i miss our home too, but this is for the best for the people,” you cradled him close.

“you- you shouldn’t say sorry, my (y/n), it’s not your fault,” he grabbed your hair tight as he cried.

“ow, nete, c’mon let’s go swim and calm down,” you swayed him like a baby and sang him songs.

at the ocean villages, the leader welcomed the sullys with not the warmest welcome but satisfying enough for the time. they must live and depend on it for now, that’s the least they could do.

kiri and you got called out for having five fingers which neteyam did not take it very well. he had been hostile towards anyone who made fun of your hands.

tsireya, ao’nung, and the rest welcomed them as well, although the boys could’ve been must friendlier in your thought.

tsireya and you kicked along pretty well, she’s beautiful, kind, caring, and hot. 😳 (sorry, not sorry)

of course, you gotta tease her with lo’ak, and how she told him ‘i see you’ before you and neteyam was a disgrace. you love her like a sister and adores her so bad.

likewise, she never misses a chance to tease you with neteyam.

“please, y/n, when? when are you going to do it!”

“not now, not never, does he even like me?” you pouted. “he calls me his best friend, i am obviously in the friend zone.”

“c’mon, please, that boy is head over heals for you,” she rolled her blue eyes. “when i taught you guys to swim, he is drooling over you underwater, almost choking himself unalive i supposed,” she giggled.

“maybe he is just amazed by the ocean, it is really pretty,” you sighed.

“girl- you are not taking hints.”

and boys are boys, they were fighting on the beach over kiri. kiri stood there laughing and her brothers getting themselves into the mess. while you walked out of the water sprinting towards neteyam and lo’ak, grabbing their ears and dragging them out.

“i apologize for my friends,” you laughed politely at ao’nung’s face.

“e- erm, i am sorry, too,” he was stunned by your face, dampened by the water, and your hair sticking to your body. ‘grrr’ neteyam scowling in the background behind your back to ao’nung.

“now if you please excuse us, i am so sorry, let me know if you want me to treat your wound as an apology,” you smiled and turned back to widened your eyes at neteyam and lo’ak.

“so- sorry” “sorry🖕”

“lo’ak!”

wound-tending sessions wasn’t as fun as watching them fight.

kiri took lo’ak and you took neteyam.

earning ‘ow’s and ‘ouch’s form neteyam you scolded him while patching him up.

“squeeze my leg if it hurts.”

he did tried not to but he ended up left some red marks on your legs.

during harsh and cold times, you still find your comfort in neteyam. you guys cuddle every night together before bed, and singing lullabies together, reminding each other of home.

neteyam likes to be the big spoon but you can be the big spoon, too, ever since your human form to your avatar form.

now for domestic stuffs in metkayinaa

you guys love to swim together in the ocean, and sometimes hiding the reefs (shh, they make a great place for a kiss on the cheek)

neteyam loves your hand, he will hold them wherever you go.

he loves finding pretty shells for you and clipping them onto your hair.

ao’nung having a crush on you, and tsireya told him off. because, obviously, she is your biggest shipper.

neytiri and jake knew there is no use separating you and neteyam, so one calls for a family meeting.

she noticed how her children received an emotional support whenever they need it from you. neytiri slowly accepted you into her family and realized that you had become more than a friend to their family, but a part of them. now, she sends a heartwarming smile for you. (neteyam, two down, it’s only you babe)

“thank you, (y/n), for taking care of my family,” she hugged you. “you are a part of us, never let them separate us apart.”

“I trust you, (y/n), i see a great potential in you, take care of my sons and daughters in this time of war,” jake touched his forehead against yours.

fond moments must come to an end; the thing they dreaded the most had arrived, the sky people

you guys fought until your very last breath, and every moments felt like it is your last

“go! y/n! go!” lo’ak and spider jumped into the middle pool of the boat, while neteyam took the gun.

“okay! love! on my count okay?” you shouted back.

“no! on my count- OKAY HE’S DOWN! 1…2-“ he was taken back by your push, and as of everything goes in slow motion. your body push his against the rails and made him fall into the pool.

the bullet made its way towards your chest, and everything flashes back. your mom, your dad, your lonely childhood, meeting him for the first time, meeting the sullys, growing up together, transferring your consciousness, traveling here, and fighting along side him.

you felt an impact within your body, and his eyes widened as you both fall into the water. he cradled your body in his as you both meet the impact of the water. slowly, your bodies submerged into the water and he pulled you out…and everything seems to black out.

…

“no no no no NO!” you heard neteyam screams.

“rip that cloth, RIGHT NOW!” jake shouted. “she is losing her consciousness!” you felt a burning sensation and a tightening sensation on your shoulder.

“is she alright DAD! SHE IS SHAKING! DO SOMETHING!” neteyam cries and clings onto your body.

“y/n…” tsireya hold your hand and her wet tears dropped on your arms.

“No! My child, my guardian protector!” Neytiri screamed in agony, as she lose her voice in the attempt.

“neteyam! take her to the village if you still want to have the love of your life,” he pushed her into his embrace. without a second thought, he calls his ilu and drove head straight to the village.

the boy waited impatiently in front of the village’s nurse. he traced back and forth and his breath hitched whenever the nurse made any noise. he prayed to the great mother that she will be fine. his meals were untouched and he didn’t bothered fighting along his brother’s side for once.

he loathed the demon ever than before, he prayed his mother would’ve finish him off the second time.

it has been three days and the family is back together. they’ve been healing together spiritually and physically, except one boy who refuses to join them, neteyam. he had been sitting in front of the nurse room for four days full, until he heard a sound.

“ne- neteyam?”

“(y/n)! thank the great mother!” he hugged your body so tightly that you might rip apart. “i thought i had lost you!” he cling onto her lap. “promise me you’ll never take a bullet for me again! pinkie promise me!”

“i can’t make promises i can not keep, love…,” you smiled and knitted your ringer finger with his. “do you know what finger is this?”

“um…longer pinkie?”

“no,” you chuckled. “this is a ring finger, a ring is put in the right side for engagement and left for marriages.”

“then i will never have to lose you with our ring fingers attached,” he rest his forehead on yours.

“how could you lose me, when i see you,” you smiled and kissed his forehead.

“i see you too.”

Avatar The Way of Water SPOILERS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am so freaking sad about Neteyam's death, I had to write this to get the pain out of my chest. It's not perfect. Most of it sticks to the original scene, but with a self insert and a bit of fluff followed by angst, like, a lot of it. So if you're into it, enjoy. :) <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard them before I saw them.

I was waiting with Jake for Neteyam and Lo'ak to come back, guns in hand watching the perimeter, inwardly cursing Quaritch's existence for the destruction he caused as I watched the sky people's ship burn, dead animals around it.

They took the longest time, and my worry grew with each heartbeat. As I was about to ask Jake to contact them, I heard them. Crying, screaming for Jake's help.

I whipped around instantly, running a short distance in their direction to the edge of the water, and only as they got closer did I notice the trail of red clouds dancing with the water. My heart not only stopped, it cracked as soon as I realised Neteyam was holding his chest crying, barely breathing.

I dropped my weapons and jumped into the water without a second thought, reaching for them, for him. Lo'ak reached behind him and managed to get half of Neteyam's weight on me so I could get him off the ilu, which Tsireya was trying to keep steady while she sobbed like I've never seen before. My own tears weren't far behind. But I had to get Neteyam out of the water to help him, which was enough distraction to keep the tears at bay, although the panic was still there.

Lo'ak's panic was much more visible than mine. Frantic, shouting 'watch his head!' over and over again, even after we got Neteyam out of the water, only stopping after I held his head on my lap as I assessed the wound.

Jake lifted him slightly to look at the exit wound on his back, and paled significantly. 'No, no, no, please, no' he said, and I knew by his reaction and Neteyam's slow blinking that he didn't have much longer left. The realisation felt like the air from my lungs was sucked out without a warning, leaving me gasping and choking up. Jake held his hands, ordering Neteyam to look at his eyes, Lo'ak put pressure on his wound, even if it was useless. Tsireya stood behind Lo'ak, trying to get him to calm down and realise not much could be done. During the chaos, Neytiri landed behind me and descended from her ikran, having the same reaction as her husband as soon as she saw Neteyam lying on the ground. Panicking, covered with ash from the fire with trails of tears marking light paths down her cheeks, she dropped to her knees holding her son's left hand.

'Dad, I want to go home' Neteyam said, heavy-breathing, still looking at his father as I begged him to keep his eyes open, caressing his wet hair, moving it out of his face and wiping his tears.

Jake was sobbing, reassuring his son that they would go home soon, to not to worry. Quickly exchanging a look with me and Neytiri, then looking away as tears slid down his face relentlessly. He wasn't going to make it back. I looked back down, unable to keep my attention on anything else but the piece of my heart which I held on my lap fiercely, like a lifeline keeping me lucid.

Neteyam looked up at me and paused, lifting a heavy hand slowly and placing it on my cheek, then moving it to the back of my neck softly pulling my head down to his. I placed my forehead against his and paused. He then whispered 'Oel ngati kameie' with a strong look on his face as his eyes locked with mine. My tears flooded like a river and sobs closed up my throat, but I still managed to repeat the sentence back to him. 'I love you, I love you so much, please don't leave me 'Teyam'.

He smiled at the nickname, and his chest went still as he stared into my eyes.

I called his name, moving my legs underneath him and gently shaking his shoulders with both hands, and when he didn't respond Neytiri let out a blood-curling scream, followed by shouts of his name and gentle pulls of his hands by both of his parents.

I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, and when Neytiri took the other half of my soul in her arms away from me I couldn't move. I could feel endless rivers of tears pour down my face, but other than that I couldn't feel much of anything other than the cold that overtook my body as soon as his skin wasn't in contact with mine.

Tsireya hurried towards me holding me by my shoulders. I didn't realise I was falling back until she caught me. My eyes turned to tunnel vision, Neteyam's face being the light at the end. There was this very annoying ringing in my ears I couldn't seem to get rid of, no matter how much Tsireya spoke to me and whispered reassuring words next to me, though they seemed to work more for herself than for me. The only words of reassurance that ever worked on me fell behind the cold lips of the boy currently being rocked back and forth in his crying mother's arms. Now I had a Neteyam sized hole blown through the middle of my life, a life that was meaningless without him to brighten it.

Halfway through my state of shock, I hear a whisper of Quaritch's voice through Jake's earpiece. I couldn't tell what he said, but I managed to guess by the shift on Jake's face that it had to do with the ship on fire as he turned to look at it. Neytiri had placed Neteyam's body on the ground a few seconds ago and was currently running her hands along his cheeks as she cried and begged him to open his eyes, the same eyes that were forever engraved on my brain, his name branded on my soul and his voice the only melody I will ever love. His face as he told me 'I see you' plays in a loop in my brain.

Jake stood and put his hands on Neytiri's shoulders. 'He has our daughters, we have to go.' My ears perked up and I stood with him. Neytiri only looked at him and sobbed harder. 'Neytiri please. I need you. Strong heart, remember? He has our daughters, we have to get them back. I need you with me.' Neytiri sighed, then looked back at Neteyam. I did too, and then we looked at each other. A shade of understanding crossing her eyes, both our shoulders slightly dropping at the momentary comfort we shared as we realised we felt the same pain. She nodded at me, a stronger look on her face. I nodded back, and we both turned to look at Jake. He gave us a pained look and then called Tsireya's name, who was still standing behind me. 'I need you to stay with Neteyam, we're going to get Kiri and Tuk back.' Tsireya immediately nodded in agreement, wiping the still-flowing tears from her face as she turned to walk towards Neteyam's body. I expected my heart to crack once more as I looked at him, but instead I felt anger as my eyes drifted towards the wound in his chest, anger which settled in my bones and festered, making me vibrate with scalding hot rage as I imagined Kiri and Tuk in the same filthy hands that viciously stole Neteyam's life, and a new sense of purpose willed my legs and eyes to move away from him and focus on finding my weapons. Once I did, I equipped them almost mechanically. Tucking my spear into its belt strapped over my shoulder and secured on my back, then bending over to pick up the gun Jake had trusted me with, checking that the bullets were loaded into the chamber before I slung the strap over my head and left the gun to rest on my hip, just like Jake taught me. He who had looked out for me once me and his children became close, treating me as one of his own, and protected me once hell broke loose. He had my eternal thanks for bringing Neteyam into my life, a life I now owed to him, and would gladly risk if it means saving his family the same way his son saved my soul.

I approach the edge of the water and jump in, calling to my ilu as Neytiri mounts her ikran and Jake waits for us already on his skimwing. Once Txo'nari reaches me I quickly make tsaheylu and we head straight to the burning ship side to side, ready to save our family.
