18.: Old Book

"The book is something dear... Maybe it helps you finding a reso-resolution..? Does this sign mean resolution? Yes? Okay..." I started smiling at him."Thank you Buddy."

'Wanna fly with me?' I whatched him doing the pretty bird handsign again and silently nodded. "Maybe later, I want to read the book first."

I blinked a few times, getting myself out of my thoughts and closing the book again. Back then I was able to understand his sign language to a certain level. But now where he speaks with me, I'm not so good in it anymore. He told me he speaks signlanguage with people he can't quite decide if they are good or bad. Plus he just wanted to fuck me up with it.

The book... it was a special present he gave me when everyone turned against me. I never read through it, only the poems. When Syulang died, I decides to wirte down my own story, giving the book back to Eywa and one of her dearest children. On earth we would have said, this pink and giant ikran was an angle. How did Neteyam find it if he doesn't even know about her?

I looked through the pages of the book, stopping at a drawing of an animal. I have never seen that kind of animal. It looked like a giant dragon, much different from the other creatures on Pandora.

╰┈➤ ❝ [POV Neteyam] ❞ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ-

Jumping off my Ikran I watched Lyk walking along the thick branch. "Unlike the Tsahìk, a Olo'eyktan does not have such a special bond with Eywa. But still..." he reached his arm out, watching how one of the Syaksyuks, which were swinging through the trees, climbed onto his shoulder. (A monkey-like animal on Pandora)

"...as an Olo'eyktan you have to know how to act and behave when it comes to individual characteristics of Navis among your people or different tribes and several animal species. You have to be able to handle all kind of Eywas creations." he explained to me, tickeling the Syaksyuk on his shoulder.

The way he was able to act and communicate with the animals and plants of pandora shows you his rank of Toril Makto. I could never be like him or my father, even if I would be a Toril Makto.

"Let's start with a simple task." Reaching out his arms, he turned arround. I quietly nodded, looking him in the eyes. He was always a nice person to me but his eyes... sometimes they burned like fire on your skin, just like Yu'kiyas and Ateyos eyes do when they are concentrated or ready to fight.

"You know the Syaksyuks." "Yes, Sir." I lowered my head while answering. "They are really wild. You will train with them how to calm a person with a wild and unbreakable character in the best and fastes way. You get your challange?" "Yes." I lowered my head again. "Then, go on." After making clicking sounds with his tounge, the Syaksyuk on his shoulder climbed off of him.

Calming a small animal? Won't be that hard right? ....right?

Taking a step closer to the massive tree trunk I looked up to the active monkeys, thinking about how I should start my task the best. I reached my hand out and tried to catch one of them, failing several times. My Hand landed on one of the smaller branches and I started climbing, following the Syaksyuks step by step.

Lyk also took a step closer to the tree as he watched me climb. With every step I got closer to them, reaching out one more time as a Syaksyuk sat on a branch right next to me. "Come on, a bit closer little one..." My foot and my other hand slipped off the tree, causing me to fall down as the animal ran away again.
