Chapter 10
The Bond

Since I told Lo'ak about wanting to tame a banshee he has been on serious training mode. He began by telling me facts about the ikran that he thought I should know. He has also showed me countless of times what to do to make the bond properly.I honestly thought he was under estimating me and what I can do, that was until...



I was face to face with the banshee. Both of us kept close eye contact I was honestly worried.However Lo'aks voice broke me out of my internal panic. "Räya you got this remember what I told you!". I took a deep breath letting my thoughts slip away.
"Let's dance" I said with a cheeky grin.

The banshee stepped forward hissing at me with authority, I also took a stride forward and hissed directly at the animal showing that I wasn't going to back down. The banshee clearly didn't like that and leaped fully into my direction. I remembered what Lo'ak taught me and I wrapped the banshee catcher around the animals mouth whilst swiftly jumping onto its back. I was struggling to keep ahold of the animal my body running on pure adrenaline I could only just faintly hear Lo'ak's anticipated voice telling me to "make the bond". I was trying so hard however the banshee was really putting up a fight, my fingers were loosing the grip of the banshee catcher and before I knew it I was back on the ground where I started.

I saw Lo'ak rushing to my side to help me but I held up my hand in his direction my body facing the banshee, Lo'ak stopped in his tracks allowing me to continue. I quickly darted off the ground and used the element of surprise, the banshee was pre occupied with trying to free itself from the banshee catcher its gaze was no longer on me. I once again climbed onto its back, the banshee now noticing my presence started moving left to right trying to shake me off. I held my position and grabbed my na'vi que.Almost there...just a little closer. I was an inch from making the bond when the banshee jolted its head to the side, I began to feel frustrated and pulled the head of the animal into a headlock making sure that this time it had no where to go. This time for sure I said to myself and I was right. The bond was made.

The banshee almost immediately calmed down, the breath began to regulate and their heartbeat slowed no longer being in a panicked state. I could feel him. This banshee was strong. I opened my eyes and stood up I was on the ground again but this time I accomplished my goal and it felt amazing. I loosed the banshee catcher and released the animal of its mean grip. Lo'ak approached me and began to speak
"You have to fly, the first flight se-"
"Seals the bond, I know" I said finishing his sentence, the amount of times he told me this was uncountable by now. However he was right and I needed to do it now or never.
I placed my self of the back of my banshee and took no time in leaping off the edge.

My skin was suddenly being slapped by the wind the speed that we were going was too intense, we were practically at a straight incline downwards the top of the jungle trees beginning to come to close for comfort. Fly straight my internal thoughts came through connecting with the banshee and the animal did just that. The once violent wind became calm and the scenery changed from life threatening to beautiful, reminding me of the time Lo'ak first took me on his banshee, its wild to think that I now have my own companion.

I was too caught up in the moment that I didn't realise Lo'ak was not far behind me a happy "yip yipp" could be heard before he could be seen. My facial features rose into a smile and in this moment I realised that I would do anything for this jungle boy and honestly.....









That scares me.
