(Character Death, Sad but happy ending (aged up))
When Ao'nung got the news he didn't know how to handle it. Neteyam had been shot and killed in the battle with the sky people. Soon they were to lay him to rest with Eywa. Why did this happen to happen to him? Ao'nung was not one to cry, but he could not hold back the tears that feel. The walk/swim to the Cove of the Ancestors felt long. To long. Ao'nung could still not believe this. He had lost him mate just months after. A pain no Na'vi ever wish to feel.
Neteyam was laid to rest, his family guiding his boat to his resting place. We was asked to join them but politely declined. Saying even though Neteyam was his mate, his family deserved this one last time with him. Ao'nung held his sister as she silently cried. He was holding back the tears trying to be strong for his sister and Neteyam.
Neteyam was released for the leaf boat, and guided down to the ancestors by his mother and father. They where down there for a good moment before resurfacing. The Sully family traveled together back to the whole clan. No one had spoken the whole time, Jake Sully was the one to brake the silence.
"Well will leave. We have cause you and your clan to much trouble. The sky people will always come for us"
"Jake Sully. You have learned our ways and fought for us. Your oldest and mate to my son is buried with out ancestors. This is now your home."
Jake nodded his head, the rest of there family bowing theirs. The whole village made there way back to the mainland but me. I swam to a rock and sat. I wish this was a dream. That I would just wake up tomorrow with him in my arms. I looked up to the stars, he could be up there looking at me. Telling me to be strong. I'm trying Neteyam, I'm trying. The stars where beautiful, they reminded me of the glowing freckle on his face. Ones that always shined in the night when we would sit on the beach together. I noticed something in the corner of my eyes. Quickly turning my head I noticed a crying Tuk still in the water.
"Tuk you should not still be out here. Came here" I called to her
She saw me and swam over to me. Climbing on the rock right next to me. She cuddled into my side and I put my arm around her. She cried, but she was strong, just starring in to the dark ocean.
"I miss him"
"I do too" I rubbed her back
After Neteyam and I stared dating he started to bring me around more. Tuk got really attached to me and fallowed me everywhere when she could. Always asking for help. Calling me brother Ao'nung.
"Eywa took him to soon from us brother"
I could feel her sadness soon turn to anger. Tuk was never angry. She was sad, happy, and scared, but never angry. I grabbed her side and pulled her close.
"Eywa did not take him. The sky people did."
She hugged me from the side. I felt her tears on my skin. I hugged her tighter, to let her know I was still there with her. We stayed like that for a little longer. Her tears start to dry and the stars where glowing brighter. Someone who I can only perceive was her mother called her name from the distance. She sounded worried. Tuk was starting to fall asleep in my arms. I knew she couldn't swim with how tired he was. So I called my Ilu, held her in my arms and slowly road above the water to bring her him safely.
When we reached the shore, I held her to my chest walking her to her mom. She gladly took the sleeping Tuk from me. She gave me a look asking why we where both still out in the sea.
"She missed him and need comfort. I stayed to say goodbye a little longer."
She nodded and gave me a light thank you before heading back over to there hut. I made my way to my family one. Not my personal one as it was the one I shared with Neteyam. When I reached my family's hut I was greeted with sadness. I took a seat down next to my sister and held her as she silently cried. Mother had her head on her our father, who only looked down rubbing his mates hands. It was a long moment of silence before father spoke up.
