(Everything spoken in this chapter is in Na'vi, but I am writing it in English)
Crystal's POV
Today Uncle Jake becomes a true Na'vi, it's been a few days since the sky people left. And it's also my uncle's birthday. So I made him a gift with Orodon's help. It was a knife, Orodon got the materials and instructed on how to make it. But I made it myself and engraved the handle. I hope he likes it.
Orodon is still grieving the lose of his brother as we all are. But he is now head warrior, while Jake is the clan leader now. As Tsu'tey requested. Neytiri is now Tsahik. But still gets guidance from her mother. Who keeps asking her when she'd get grandchidern. I'd join asking when I was going to become a cousin. Oh and I forgot to mention, Peyral is now in charge of the hunting parties.
Neytiri and I both refused to get a new Ikran. We'd honour our fallen Ikran and honour their ways. While an Ikran would have one rider all their life. We'd only have one Ikran. But we still ride our Pa'li though.
Toruk Macto has left. Lets hope that means the end of the great sorrow and that he won't return. But I can't help, that this fight is not over yet. I just pray we'll have some peace until another fight begins.
Anyway, Orodon and I have decided to wait until I become a true Na'vi to mate for life. Speaking of becoming a true Na'vi. It's nearly time for Uncle Jake to become one. Everything is prepared at the Tree of Souls. Which is our temporary home until we find a new place to call home. Uncle Jake is thinking of moving us close to Hell's Gate, so that Omaticaya could learn to coexist with the remaining humans.
"Gilrin, it's time" Mo'at tells me. I nod my head and we join everyone. Uncle Jake is covered in leaves like Grace had been and is wearing a mask. While he lays beside his avatar body. I kneel beside Orodon and we hold hands. As we bond to the roots around us with the others. Uncle Jake gets covered in white threads as we pray to Ewya. Mo'at and Neytiri leading the chants.
"Hear us please, Great Mother" Neytiri says with Mo'at.
"Eywa, help him" Orodon and I chant with the Omayticaya.
"Take this spirit into you" Mo'at says.
"Eywa, help him" Orodon and I chant with the Omayticaya.
"And breathe him back to us" Neytiri says.
"Eywa, help him" Orodon and I chant with the Omayticaya.
"Let him walk among us" Mo'at says with Neytiri.
"Eywa, help him" Orodon and I chant with the Omayticaya.
"As one of The People" Neytiri says.
"Eywa, help him" Orodon and I chant with the Omayticaya.
"I lose myself before Eywa" we all chant together with Neytiri and Mo'at. Repeating it several times. Until Mo'at signals us to stop, saying it was finished. Neytiri removes the mask from Uncle Jake's human body and kisses each eye lid. Before kneeling beside his avatar body, placing a hand on his cheek.
Suddenly his eyes open. It had worked, Uncle Jake is now a true Na'vi. He'd never have to return to his human body. Which is now dead. I gave him a big hug and his gift. Which he loved. We then had a funeral for his old human body.
"So, how does it feel?" I ask Uncle Jake as we relax watching the others dance.
"Feels great, still hard to believe though. That my human body is dead and I won't ever have to return to it" he states. "How are things with you and Orodon?" he asks me curious.
"We're still courting and have decided to wait until after I leave my human body behind for good to mate" I state.
"Glad you're waiting" he tells me. Neytiri joins us, sitting on his other side. Uncle Jake wraps his arm around her slim waist.
"So, do I call you Aunt Neytiri now?" I ask her.
"I'd be honoured" she tells me and we smile.
"My two favourite girls" Uncle Jake says as Orodon joins us. He offers me his hand. I smile taking it and he leads me over to where everyone is dancing. We join the dance and dance for an hour. Before it was time for me to return to my human body. Which is at Hell's Gate, that's another reason why my uncle wants to move us near there. So that we'd be close, even when I'm in human form.
"How was it?" Max asks as I wake up in my link pod.
"It was fine, it worked" I tell him. He offers me a plate of food and I give him a grateful smile. I eat it and have the glass of water he offered. Before going to my old room. I showered and changed clothes before calling it night.
