My Eywa || AVATAR

18 ✨ What Would've Happend?✨

"I don't believe it," Lo'ak sang, "Della said otherwise earlier today," he added playfully. I couldn't help but laugh along with him, but at that moment, I noticed that Neteyam clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and he averted his gaze from the group.

"Lo'ak, that's not how you play. You said three lies," Kiri mocked him, as all of his options were exaggerated and could only be true in Lo'ak's mind.

Finally, it was my turn, "I have ridden a pa'li like a true Na'vi, I am the smartest among us, and I have saved the life of a viperwolf cub."

Neteyam looked at me curiously and said, "I don't think you've ridden a pa'li very well yet," laughing incredulously, probably recalling my multiple falls. I simply smiled mischievously, not admitting that it was indeed the lie.

"You saved a viperwolf cub?" Spider asked, surprised, now understanding that the lie was about riding a pa'li.

"Yes, we found it lost in the forest with Harper recently, and we helped it recover," I proudly replied.

As we continued playing, I noticed that Neteyam was looking at me frequently, which made me slightly nervous, but I also enjoyed the newfound connection between us.

Next, Spider made his statements: "I have seen a Toruk in person, I can speak 3 different languages, and I once got lost in the forest for 2 days."

Kiri, always playful, responded immediately, "Wow, Monkey boy, I would say they're all lies," releasing a surprised giggle at the difficulty of the options.

Recalling previous conversations, I tried to discredit one of Spider's options, "I'm sure you don't speak 3 languages," it would be ridiculous to learn another language when on Pandora, only English and Na'vi are spoken.

"I'm sure you haven't seen a Toruk," Lo'ak chimed in, discrediting my choice.

"Come on, Lo'ak, why would Spider want to learn another language?" I laughed, puzzled.

Spider decided to give us a clue about one true statement, further piquing our curiosity, "I indeed got lost in the forest for 2 days."

Kiri was amazed, "Really? When did that happen?" she exclaimed.

"A few years ago, on my way back from your home to the base," he chuckled, a little embarrassed.

Confused, I asked, "How did no one notice? I don't remember hearing about it."

Lo'ak, always teasing and joking, said, "That's because no one pays attention to him," before playfully hugging Spider by the shoulders.

We then spent a good amount of time debating Spider's options, and although he had made them challenging, in the end, I had the satisfaction of being right: he didn't know how to speak a third language.

Neteyam was quieter than usual. When it was his turn, he said, "I have saved a friend from falling off the cliff during their iknimaya, I haven't built my own spear, and I've never been attracted to a girl."

A jolt ran through my body, making me tense up. My ears perked up in his direction, and my eyes widened. What had he just said?

Kiri was the first to comment, "Wow, you really made it difficult," she said, thinking out loud.

"You saved Enit from falling during his iknimaya. I overheard Dad mentioning it," Lo'ak added, affirming that this option was true.

Spider, who was looking at me trying to hold back his laughter, then chimed in, "So it must be the spear. Don't you have a spear?" he asked, surprised, turning to Neteyam.
