We arrive at the Spirit Tree. Neytiri lifts me off the ikran. "I will dress you for the ceremony." Neytiri puts me down on the floor gently. She lifts my legs up and takes off my shorts. Next she lifts my upper body up and takes off my tank top. I can't even do the simple things anymore. I try to keep my eyes open but my head is killing me.

I want to speak by words won't form in my throat. It's already stiff with emotions.

"Ma Myra you are beautiful in both bodies." Neytiri says while wrapping some vines around my private parts. I look at her with a smile. "It is ok do not speak if it hurts." She was so gentle I didn't even notice she took off my underwear and bra.

Neytiri must have noticed my pain from my expression. "Do not worry Ma Myra, it won't hurt much longer." She says gently while picking me up. I hold onto her as we make our way back to the tree. I try to look around and see everyone on the ground, their queues' connected to the ground.

Neytiri laid me down on the base of the Spirit Tree. Mo'at walks over and kneels down. "Eywa will be with you." She says while connecting a nerve to the base of my neck. I feel my head start to rush with memories and feelings. I get overwhelmed. "I will see you soon." Neytiri says.

I close my eyes and feel my conscious slip from my grasp. I see a comforting light. I don't know what it is but it seems so natural. My body moves towards it without me knowing. I feel content with wherever I am. If this is death, I'm okay with it.

I wake up and see Neytiri over me. "Hello." She says quietly while cupping my cheek with her hand. I smile and place my hand on top of hers. Neytiri puts something in my hand. I squeeze it and feel it's a necklace. The necklace Grace gave me.

I sit up and look around. It was weird to see my former body on the ground lifeless. I was in my new body for only minutes but I already felt better than I have for a while. "Thank you." I say to the crowd. "Thank you." I felt emotions overwhelm me. I was finally home. I was finally me.
