Chapter 17

As the sun began to fall the Na'vi commenced a war ceremony, loud beats of Drums, trumpets, and the yells and songs of the Na'vi.

Na'vi dancing in beautiful ritualistic clothing, almost like the one you had worn the night of the celebration. The only difference was the way it was worn and styled.

You watched as the people preform the war ceremony, it was beautiful. You felt even more passionate about protecting your people and their culture.

You turned your head back to Jake who sat with many warriors that sat at the fire, listening as Jake and Trudy explained the weak points of the aircraft as you and Norm painted blue stripes on it.

"You don't need to fear this beast, you can kill it." Jake said, pointing to Trudy rotercraft "tell them" he said, nodding his head.

"The gunships main weakness, it's the roter system." She explained. You watched, making quick mental note of where to attack.

You were going to be taking to the skies, along with Jake, Neytiri and Tsu'tey. Somewhere along the line, you would be signaled to join Norm on the ground.

Jake pointed to it with the tip of his bow as he translated for her, his Na'vi still sounded a bit off but it was drastically improving.

You smiled to yourself softly, your nerves itching at you.

Your hand came up to the necklace for comfort, memories of Grace coming to mind. Her laugh, her witty remarks, her anger, all down to the last moment you had with her.

You sighed deeply, gathering yourself. The thought of Grace fueling your desire to fight.

"You take out the roter mass, you got a symmetric lift and she goes into an uncontrolled roll." Trudy stated, using her hands to show what she was saying.

Jake sat there for a moment staring at her, before standing up and tapping the roter with his bow.

"Attack here." He said, many of the Na'vi made sounds of aknowledgement. Soft awoos and ayaya. Coming from their mouths.

Trudy smirked "exactly" she chuckled lightly to herself.

Many of the Na'vi came to touch the roters, moving it with their hands and some moving to check out the aircraft for themselves.

They had never seen such advanced technology up close without it harming them, they were astonished that it would be aiding them in battle.

Trudy lead Jake to the side of her rotercraft, getting on to remove the side gun.

"Push up, take the weight of the gun" she said, careful trying to detach it.

She stopped for a moment, looking to Jake "you know our chances suck." She said quietly, trying not to alert everyone of her woa's.

Your ear twitched as you listened, you stopped painting the aircraft for a few moments before continuing. It's seems you weren't the only one who thought that.

Jake was silent for a moment, you could feel his gaze move to you to check and make sure you weren't listening.

"Yeah" he said quietly, you had almost missed it.

"We're going up against gunships with bows and arrows." Trudy said once again, you rembered the comment from this morning. The worry that had come to her face as she has said it, you looked down slightly tail flicking.

You felt anger grip at your heart, the only thing you could see was the destruction of home tree, and the death of Grace. You gritted your teeth, gripping your brush.
