Me, the leader-with-no-name and neytiri were inside some sort of emergency shelter. It seemed as this was a heavily private conversation because the shelter was isolated from the rest of the clan.

"Right so first things first, what are you? A guy, a girl?" He started listing options and decided to cross his arms to show confidence but got elbowed by neytiri quickly. She wasn't impressed at the slightest.

While my finger tips are making contact with the table, I'm slowly approaching Jake. "It doesn't matter. What difference would it make knowing what am I?" I glance at him and stop my hand from touching the table again. I was too tired to have to explain myself as always.

"Could we get a name maybe?" Neytiri speaks up in a soft tone. "The name is Tsurey. Pleasure to meet you both" I nodded down to pay my respects. I stood next to Neytiri while still getting interrogated by him.

"I'm Jake, Jake sully. This is my wife, Neytiri." When she hears her name, she smiles at me and bows back. "Look, we don't just let anyone come into our clan if they please. I hope we are cooperating on this." He grabs a half empty mug he spots on the table and starts drinking from it.

"My parents asked me to lead our people and heavily implied on us coming here. All I'm asking for it a little help and I promise, we won't cause any issues." I tried convincing Jake yet again. I didn't let him out of my sight until he answered me. There's no way I'm giving up on this easily.

"Alright, you can stay here a few days but if any sort of harm happens to MY people because of you, that's the moment you become our enemies. Got it?" He tried to intimidate me with his height by walking towards me from the other side of the room and getting closer to me. We made uncomfortable eye contact but I didn't let his height stop me. At the end, we agreed on all terms and shook hands.

"My wife will give you a tour of our home and introduce you to the rest of my family. Would you mind waiting outside for a few minutes? We need to speak privately." Jake implies by looking at Neytiri and then gestures at the door with his muscular blue hand. Well, It was supposed to symbolise the door but in reality it was just a curtain covering the exit.

"Not at all." I nodded at the pair and left quietly. Finally I managed to convince the sully family to let us stay. This is extremely important to me so I hope I won't screw it up.

When Tsurey left the shelter, I look down at Neytiri" Why are you being so harsh on them?" She whisper-shouts and pushes herself away from me. She tries to check if Tsurey might be listening to our talk.

"We don't know who that person is, for all we know they could be working with the sky people!" I warn my wife. I know exactly what the sky people are capable of, I mean I was a human once too. I can't risk anything happening to my family or my new home.

When I'm making me way to Lay against the table behind me,I pull Neytiri by her waist to bring her closer. I hated arguing like this. "Have you seen their hand? They have five, fingers, not four but five!"

I show my hand for the reference. "The ash leaders are great old friends of my ancestors so if you screw anything up, it's on you. They are good people. Besides, you do remember our children also have five fingers right?"

My wife started to get closer to my face and pointing fingers at the curtain-covered exit. "I thought you would be a bit open-minded." Neytiri shakes her head slightly and turns to have her back face me instead.

When She's heading towards the door aggressively, I was just speechless. I don't want to disappoint Neytiri. I get up from laying against the table behind me and head towards the ash people.

-Tsurey's POV

I sat down on a tree plank that was attached to the shelter. My lips were touching my forearms but, looking at the Pandora forest was like a fever dream. No one could ever guess how much I'd give to spend a full night here with everyone.

I gaze back to reality when I hear someone's footsteps approach me from behind. It was Neytiri. "Sorry for the await, your majesty." Neytiri slightly bows down again. "Please, just call me Tsurey, or Rey for short if you'd like." I explain and we both decide to head.

After 15 minutes of walking in silence, Neytiri starts the conversation. "So, how long are you planning on staying with us?" She smiles at the wood-sprite that lands on her left hand. "I haven't really thought about it exactly, but I hope that's okay with you and Jake" i start adoring the same wood-sprite as it jumps onto my hand from Neytiris.

"I wanted to apologise for Jake, the way he was acting earlier. He just doesn't know ash people that well but I'm trying to keep him in the right track. I know your not trying to cause any harm."

She puts her hand on my shoulder which causes me to look at her, and not the wood-sprite anymore. "So, where are you taking me exactly?" I Walk beside her and adore the tree of souls that's on our right hand side. "I want you to meet the rest of my family."

She softly gazes in my eyes and puts some of my hair behind my ear. It was a nice moment, but it didn't last long . "Lo'ak! Get your siblings!" Neytiri shouted very loudly, showing her fangs.

This moment quickly goes from being quiet to being covered in chaos. Suddenly, I see three Na'vi children standing in front of me. "This is lo'ak, my son." We both noded at eachother and say 'I see you' under our breaths. I slightly smile at him. "This is Tuktirey, my youngest one" Tuk giggles and comes running to hug me. I look down at her to say hi, she was so sweet. "And this is Kiri, my daughter." Neytiri says in a warm tone.

As soon as me and Kiri made eye contact, I froze. My heart started beating fast and I didn't know what my next move was going to be, I could feel my cheeks burning up, but god I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was the most gorgeous Na'vi I have seen.

Something takes my attention off Kiri. It was a human boy running in. A human boy? I thought. He was so much shorter than all of us and had to wear a weird mask, unlike us. "Hey guys, what's going on? Who's this?" The boy tries to catch a breath after sprinting towards us. The boy looks around like crazy, not knowing who to ask for any sort of info about me. His whole body was muddy and sweaty.

He has blonde dreads, although I couldn't see through his mask very well he looked familiar. "The ash people will be staying with us for a little bit and this is Tsurey, the leader of the ash people. Tsurey, this is spider our friend." Neytiri makes a warm gesture towards both of us. Spider? What kind of name is that? When spider looks right at my face, I remembered. Is it.....miles? Is that possible?
