The Harmony Project (NeteyamXOC)

8- Project : night

The huge trees were facing her, as the small shadow appeared in the night. Her eyes had been caught by the beauty of the shining nature. She had never seen such things, the plants, the trees, even the insects were glowing all around her. 

She knew she was not allowed to go out at night. But screw that Cinderella curfew. It has been a week again, and Neteyam still had not showed up to take her away from that ship. She hated the fact she was dependent on him not to get lost. She hated to stay inside while the nature was calling for her as well. 

Yet, she stayed before the entrance of the dense forest, almost scared. Who wouldn't be. Her eyes traced the branches, as if asking for a way to go. She did not look back at the spaceship before her feet began to walk forward, reaching the bioluminescent nature. 

The trees were so tall, especially for her who was a human, and she reminded herself of how Neteyam swung through the trees so easily. 

She kept walking, but slowly enough to let her gaze fall on every part of the forest. Everything caught her attention. She tried to look for the flowers Neteyam had shown her, but throughout the night, it ended up being quite impossible. 

It was magical, and she caught herself wishing for it not to be a dream. She felt the nature breathing around her, and took herself a deep breath. She paid attention to every noises around her, hearing the small buzzing of various insects flying. 

As she was walking, she finally reached the cliff Neteyam had led her to last week. From there, the scenery was even more breathtaking. A soft wind went through her hair, and she closed her eyes to embrace the feeling of a pure air, surrounded by nothing but the nature. 

She looked at the mountains, still amazed at the fact they floated through the air. The young girl wondered how it was, up there. She looked back at the forest, and came to one conclusion : she wanted to discover everything about Pandora. 

But she could not. She reminded herself that she was not there for her own pleasure, but because of a mission, that she had screwed. Though, the last time they met, Neteyam and her acted rather playfully. Couldn't a friendship bring peace, anyway ? 

There, she thought again to herself, she knew something was hidden from her. She knew a relationship wouldn't bring peace between two nation. She was not that naive. Plus, contrary to what she had been told - that Na'vi would end up destroy humanity if it wasn't for her to show them how great humans were - Na'vi seemed to be peaceful beings, living in harmony with nature. They did not act like dangerous person... The ones who did were humans, who were now forcing them both to marry each other, and for what sake ? 

As she got lost in her thoughts, small beings began to approach her. They were small, floating, white and glowing. Harmony did not realized they were there, until they began to come a bit to close, on her skin.

-"Wh-... What are you ?" she said, looking at them strangely, "You're curious ?" she held back a small laugh, not knowing if these kind of flying flowers were dangerous or not. 

-"Amazing..." she whispered as she saw them keeping on floating around. Their glow reflected in her eyes, while she was trying not to touch them, shoving them away from her lightly. 

Not far from there, a pair of eyes was looking at her, hidden by the thicks branches and trees. 

The small glowing beings were being curious, and kept on approaching her. Harmony repeatedly tried to get send them away. Amused, the owner of the amber eyes, hidden not so far, let out of faint laugh. Harmony was too focused on everything around her, on the new feeling of nature, on the grass she could feel under the palm of her hands, on the pure air that she breathed, to even notice him.
