"Wow. You're fast." Lo'ak said.

"For fko pähem, ohe'm pänutìng eywa ngahu." I say.

(For one arm, I'm pretty good.)

"Even with two arms, I think you could beat me." 

"Is that a challenge?" 

"If you want it to be." 

"Patook, let's make him pxuntil our dust." I whisper. 

(Patook, let's make him eat our dust)

Patook nods he flew ahead of Lo'ak and his Ikran. I smile at him.

"Alright, challenge accepted." Lo'ak said. 

Lo'ak soon caught up. Patook and I were ahead by a hair. Lo'ak's Ikran was fast. Patook zigzag's to throw him off. Lo'ak saw through it. He follows us. Patook flies upward. He dives down. Lo'ak follows. I feel the air around me. It felt like I was in a water current. It felt good. I felt free. 

"You're good." 

"I know. You are too." 

"Thanks. We're almost there."

I see a ring of rocks. They were like the ribs of a large animal. I see her in the center. I see the tree of souls. The Tree of Eywa.
