Chapter 12

The lights on the grounds around us began to slowly dissipate away and I touched them, feeling the sorrow Eywa left. I had tears, I felt pain.

Tsu'tey and Neytiri sighed quietly knowingly, as Mo'at waved her hands over Grace's bodies.

"What's happening?" Jake asked looking at Neytiri and Tsu'tey's faces. "Did it work?"

"Her wounds were too great. It was not enough time. She is with Eywa now." Mo'at shook her head and removed Grace's mask as she was gone.

"No, no! Grace! Mom! Please!" I begged as tears fell as I screamed in agony.

Tsu'tey and Neytiri came up and pulled me into his chest as I sobbed into their chests. I lost the mother who raised me...

Jake sighed and stood up to his feet looking more determined than ever. He reached his hands over towards Neytiri, Tsu'tey and I and we took them without hesitation. Jake lifted us to our feet and led them to Ryan.

"With your permission, I will speak now." Jake asked of him. "You would honor me by translating."

Ryan nodded and the six of us stood together, Skylar stood by Ryan's sky, I guess they mated. Jake released mine, Neytiri and Tsu'tey's hands, after pulling us close next to him and looking out at our people.

"The Sky People have sent us a message." Jake spoke and Ryan and Tsu'tey repeated after him. "That they can take whatever they want and no one can stop them. Well, we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind will carry you. You tell the other clans to come."

Tsu'tey and Ryan smiled at Jake's plan and translated proudly, making the Omatikaya people stand and speak in agreement.

"You tell them Toruk Macto calls to them." Jake relayed passionately. "And you fly now with me! My brothers! Sisters! And we will show the Sky People, that they cannot take whatever they want, and that this, this is our land!"

"This is our land!" Neytiri and I cheered alongside him.

The people roared in excitement and agreement. Jake quickly grabbed mine, Neytiri and Tsu'tey's hands and pulled us away from the Tree and down towards Toruk.

"Let us go!" Ryan cheered and everyone began to run off. 

Jake attached the Tsaheylu and climbed aboard Toruk, lending a hand down towards Neytiri, Tsu'tey and I. We grabbed it and he pulled us up behind him. Our arms quickly wrapped around each other's waists, and he cheered, making Toruk stand on it's hind legs, spreading it's wings and screeched as well.

We flew off into the night and the Omatikaya people cheered beside us, climbing aboard their Ikran's and taking flight.

"Yah!" Neytiri and I let out war cries and Jake and Tsu'tey laughed, pulling us back down and kissing our cheeks.

"We rode out to the four winds. To the horse clans of the plain. To the Ikran people of the eastern sea."

"Back to the stars! For our children's children!" Jake spoke proudly.

"Back to the stars! For our children's children!" Neytiri, Tsu'tey and I translated for him at every clan.

"When Toruk Macto called them, they came."

Nearly two days had passed and we watched our home become the home to 3 times as many Na'vi as there once was. We trained and prepared for the war we knew was coming.

I woke up and found Tsu'tey, Neytiri and Jake beside me. My dreams were strange and I needed answers. Neytiri must have been feeling the same way. We carefully moved their arms off and climbed up, wobbling slightly as we felt dizzy. We took deep breathes and steadied ourselves before heading to my mother's tree, where we knew we'd find my earthly mother.
