JAKE is hauled roughly toward Neytiri's village, which is sheltered inside one of the great trees.
TSU'TEY rides inside the columns at the base of Home tree shouting an ululating warning.
Jake is force-marched through the pillars into an open central area.
The villagers gather to see the arriving hunt party.
We see the people of the tribe mothers with babies, old women, young hunters.
They gawk at the alien, expressions ranging from curiosity to outright hostility.
The huge eyes of the children follow him.
Jake is amazed at the size of home tree inside.
By the light of the cook-fires he can see up into a vast cylindrical gallery a living cathedral.
Clear membranes sturmbeest bladders filled with fluttering bio-luminescent insects, act as area lighting.
The central space is dominated by the skull of some enormous creature,
mounted with much embellishment on a totem Standing in front of this, awaiting their approach,
is eytukan, the Clan Leader.
Lin addresses Eytukan in Na'vi.
"Father...I see you"
She stands infront of the man Neytiri right next to her
"This creature why do you bring him here?"
Eytukan asks Lin and Neytiri
"We we're going to kill him but there was a sign from eywa"
Neytiri tells her father He glowers at her as he responds, pointing at Jake.
"I have said no dreamwalker will come here, to offend our home! His alien smell fills my nose"
Eytukan says making a few of the people laugh
Neytiri stands her ground, answering in a respectful but not submissively
"Father, many atokirina came to this alien."
"What's going on?" Jake asks Lin and Neytiri
"My father is deciding whether to kill you." Lin says sternly
"Your father!?" Jake turns to Eytukan and smiles
"Uh, good to meet you, sir." Jake steps forward, offering his hand,
and the hunters jump to restrain him, shouting. Neytiri pushes Jake back away from her father
But they all freeze as A commanding female voice echoes through the chamber.
(Na'vi)
"Step back!" Mo'at yells making Everybody look up.
MO'AT stands on the second level, looking down
"I will look at this alien."
There is an expectant hush as Mo'at descends the helical core
of Hometree, a kind of natural spiral staircase.
"That is Mother. She is Tsahik the one who interprets the will of Eywa."
Neytiri says to Jake as Mo'at walks over to him
"Who's Eywa?" He asks
Neytiri kneels before her like an acolyte as Mo'at passes.
The villagers stare silently as the Matriarch circles slowly around Jake,
examining his tail and the end of his queue
"What are you called?" Mo'at asks him
"Jake Sully." He answers slowly looking over to Lin
Mo'ak produces a long thorn between her fingertips. With a flourish she strikes his chest.
Jake flinches. RED BLOOD wells up and Mo'at rubs some
between her fingertips. She tastes it.
"Why did you come to us?" Mo'at says
"I came to learn." He answers
"We have tried to teach other Sky People. It is hard to fill a cup which is already full."
"My cup is empty, trust me. Just ask Doctor Augustine. I'm no scientist." Jake chuckles
"What are you?" She asks
"I don't know. I was a Marine uh, a warrior. Of the Jarhead clan."
"A warrior! I could kill him easily!" Tsu'tey says clenching his fists ready to go at jake
But Lin hold out her arm stopping him from moving
"No! This is the first warrior dreamwalker we have seen.
We need to learn more about him." Eytukan nods to her two daughters
"What's going on? What are they saying?" Jake asks
