Everything said in this chapter is spoken in Na'vi. Instead of translating it all, I'm just going to write everything they say in English.

Crystal's POV

After we got Uncle Jake into a new link pod. We went to go find the others. We found Norman, his avatar had been killed. But he's ok. Trudy is dead though. I pray Orodon and Tsu'tey are alright. We returned to the Tree of Souls where Mo'at and the healers had been treated the injured. We see her tending to Tsu'tey with Orodon by her side.

"Orodon!" I shout and run over to him. He turns and hugs me tight. "I see you" I tell him.

"I see you" he says stroking my cheek. "Tsu'tey is dying" he says sadly. I hug him tighter. As Uncle Jake kneels beside Tsu'tey. We all gather around as they greeted each other.

"Are the people safe?" Tsu'tey asks Jake weakly as he groans in pain.

"They are safe" Uncle Jake assures him. Tsu'tey weakly clutches his severed queue. I gasp in shock.

"I can never ride again, or bond with my woman or hear the voice of Eywa" Tsu'tey says. "I can not lead the People. You will lead them, Jakesully" he tells my uncle.

"No. I'm not officer material" Uncle Jake tells him.

"Yes you are uncle, you came up with the plan and lead us to victory" I state.

"It is decided. Now do the duty of Olo'eyctan. Set my spirit free" Tsu'tey says making Uncle Jake take out his knife.

"I'm not killing you" Uncle Jake tells him.

"I am already dead" Tsu'tey tells him.

"Please set my brother's spirit free Jakesully" Orodon pleads.

"No" Uncle Jake says.

"It is the way. And it is good. I will be remembered" Tsu'tey says weakly, his voice full on emotion. "I fought with Toruk Macto, we were brothers and he was my last shadow" he declares. Holding Uncle Jake's hand. As Neytiri and I cry silently with the other women. Uncle Jake looks at all of us before sighing in defeat.

Jake leans forward, blocking the sun from the tree canopy. His shadow falls across Tsu'tey. Who looks up at him. "Forgive me, my Brother" he says plunging his knife in Tsu'tey's heart. Ending his suffering. "Go now to the Mother Spirit" he recites. Uncle Jake's eyes well with tears as he continues reciting the prayer for the dead.

I cry in Orodon's arms, burying my head into his chest. As he strokes my hair gently. I fell his tears land on my shoulder. Tsu'tey was not the only one who we lost. Uncle Jake became Olo'eyctan and Aunt Neytiri Tsahik.

Anyway a few sky people chose to stay. Fewer were chosen. Max, Norm, and a few of the avatars hold AR's as the personnel of Hell's Gate file up the cargo ramp of the remaining shuttle. The evicted humans boarded the ship. We watched it live and prayed they never returned. Norm's avatar was only wounded and was healed by the healers. He is now learning to become one of the people.

The forest will heal, and so will the hearts of the People. New life keeps the energy flowing, like the breath of the world. Orodon moaned his brother. But took over as head hunter and warrior. Anyway Uncle Jake is going to become a true na'vi and let his human body die. He said I could to when I turn sixteen.

Orodon wanted to meet my human body. So he came to the floating mountain outpost. Where we went for a flight, me in his arms. We swam and had a horse ride. Before watching the sunset. I fell asleep in his arms, feeling safe there. I woke up the next day in bed. Uncle Jake made me have breakfast before linking with my avatar. While he did his last video log.
