They have to be ok

"Hi toruk makto we would like to take you children to visit our spirit tree" tsireya says to jake. I have no clue why she still calls him toruk makto when he said we can call him jake. "Kids you should go" neytiri told her children. "Okay" Tuk says dropping her wooden toy on the floor and coming up to me. She did the grabby hands and I picked her up. "Tuk-" jake says but gets cut off. "It's ok jake I don't mind" I say and pretend im about to tickle Tuk which causes her to laugh. "Noooo don't tickle me" she says while laughing and keeping my hand away from her. "We'll be back before eclipse" tsireya tells the two parents. "I can take her Antiri" neteyam tells me while trying to get Tuk. But Tuk pushes his hands away then hugs me tightly. "Nooo" Tuk whine which causes me to laugh and neteyam acts hurt and puts his hand on his chest. "Wow Tuk" neteyam says and starts fake crying. "I'm sorry don't cry" Tuk says and makes me put her down to go hug neteyam. He stops crying and scoops up Tuk. It causes her to immediately laugh and scream. We catch up with the other and Tuk wanted me to carry her again. "I don't think we should have Tuk visit the tree" tsireya says. "Yeah but we can't leave her here" Antiri tells her sister. "Aonung and can you stay here with her" tsireya asks with pleading eyes."yeah I can look after her come on Tuk let me show you more of our animals" aonung tells her as her eyes light up with excitement. She gets on his ilu and the leave to go see the other animals here. We all go under the surface towards the spirit tree. We nod at the sullys and connect our queues. We connect with the spirit tree.

Eywa shows me a blank white space. I try to move forward but I start to fall. Many memories flashing by quickly I reach out and it takes me into that memory. It's the day I had gotten knocked out when I first rode my ilu. I flinch at the sight when I hit the coral and go unconscious. My mother rushing over to me and taking me out of the water. Taking me to our hut to work on me since she's tashik. I start to fall again my memories passing by. I reach out again but it's not from the past it's what's to come in the future. I see a ship surrounded in fire. I see Navi people with sky people clothing and guns. I look to my right and I see a Navi on the ground with tsireya next to him crying. I try to walk forward and I start to fall. I try to stop myself and I see a glimpse of neteyam. It causes me to gasp and start to cry. The space turns black and horrible memories or future events start passing by. I look and I see one of the fake Navi shoot Tuk. Another scenario is a village not far from here burning down and many ilus dead in the water. The water is now red due to the many ilus that got shot. I scream and I feel my lungs start to burn. The room goes dark again. I shut my eyes and open them. I see myself with a wound on my stomach and my hands covered in blood. I look up and I see a Navi with a toothy grin staring at me. "Innocent people should have to die jake. Princess of the metkayani is seriously injured. She needs help of medical attention as soon as that bullet went in her. Jake your causing pin to others when it's only our situation." This Navi is talking to Jake through a neck thing. "Let her go please. She needs her mothers help. Let me take her to go get help" neteyam says with pain in his voice. "Sorry your dad has to pay a price" he says and aiming a gun at me head. I heard a loud pop and the room starts spinning and flashing lights all around me. My lungs are burning even more. I think I'm drowning. I try to come back and disconnect my queue but it won't let me leave. I start to panick when all of a sudden I jolt up and lean to the side. I almost fall off an ilu and an arm wraps around my waist letting me cough up the water in my lungs. I lay back down and my vision is blurry. "Antiri can you hear me." Neteyam tells me with worry in his voice. I keep looking back and forth between him and who I believe is tsireya next to me. "We have to get her to my hut" neteyam says and speed off to the hut. My vision starts to go black again. "NO NO STOP EYWA STOP" I start screaming as the room start to go completely black. I was soon awaken my mother right by my side. I start to cough up a little bit of water again. I start to cry and she hugs me. "It's ok Antiri everything's fine" ronal says comforting her daughter. "EYWA has betrayed me mother. She showed me horrid things that I can't even explain. What did I do mother to deserve this"Antiri says with anger in her voice. "Our great mother seems she trying to warn us" ronal suggests. "If she did then we're in trouble mother." Antiri says with a worried look on her face. "I have to go attend to the sullys not only you had an accident but so did their daughter kiri. I will be back soon you stay and get some rest." Ronal says kissing her daughters head. Tsireya rushes to her side and hugs her. " don't ever do that again sister. I thought I lost you." Tsireya admits with pain in her voice and tearing up. "I'm sorry sister I did not want this. Eywa betrayed me." Antiri admits. "What our great mother would never" tsireya says. I think about it and I just stay silent. I hear a cry coming from the sullys hut. I stand up and make my way to the exit. "Woah Antiri your supposed to be resting." Tsireya gets a bit upset with her sister. "I need to make sure kiri is ok" Antiri says while walking and holding onto whatever she can on her way to the sullys hut. She soon gets there and neteyam immediately gets up and brings Antiri into a big hug. He has tears coming down his face as he's hugging Antiri and kissing her head. "I thought you were gone ma Antiri" he says which makes my heart melt. "I love you neteyam" Antiri tells neteyam. "I love you Antiri" neteyam says back. He kissed my forehead and everyone is comforting kiri. Me and neteyam sat on his mat and waited for my mother to finish giving instructions on medications and remedies she can use on kiri. Soon we hear a horn going off. I know that horn from a specific reason. "The tulkun are back. Our spirit bothers and sisters have returned" tsireya says with excitement in her voice while on her ilu. "Come on neteyam let's go see my spirit sister" I say as I run and dive into the water. Neteyam follows after me how I'm acting is like none of the stuff had happened earlier. I let neteyam get on my ilu and we ride to meet my spirit sister. We finally get there her beautiful patterns on her skin. She is my mother tulkuns daughter. "This is my spirit sister Nevä" Antiri tells neteyam as she's getting off her ilu. She goes under to catch up with her spirit sister. "Antiri you look so beautiful we have so much to talk about" nevä tells Antiri. "Thank you so much you look beautiful as well"Antiri signs to nevä.  "I met a boy his name is neteyam. He's a forest Navi. He's really sweet and cares a lot for me and his family. We are officially together." Antiri signs while also moving out of the way so nevä can see neteyam. "He seems really caring you choose a good one Antiri. I'm so happy for you. I met a boy as well but I don't think it's going to go anywhere. His name is kllaset he's charming and has been hanging around with me a lot. You met him last year with roxto." Nevä said while realizing roxto isn't with me anymore. " we...I broke up with him Nevä a few months ago." Antiri tells her and you can tell she's hurt but is in a better place with neteyam now. "What happened" Nevä asks while lifting her fin so Antiri can sit on it and they can go up so she can get some air. " He's been cheating on me. He fell out of love with me. Lied to me. Used me just like ewrfoni" Antiri says like staring down at the water. "I'm so sorry Antiri I can tell kllaset is starting to be like him but I won't let that happen. There is an energy between us two. I can feel it. I'm glad your with someone who brings light into you darkness" Nevä says. "You wanna meet him" Antiri asks with a smirk. "Can I?" Nevä asks. Antiri nods and turns her attention to neteyam who was looking at the scene of the tulkun and me talking to mine. "Teyam!" Antiri says he instantly rides over on the ilu.

I introduce neteyam to my spirit sister Nevä and they click together. She would play around with me and him and we overall had a good time reconnecting. It was almost eclipse and we said our goodbyes to Nevä and head over to the hut. "By the way todays dinner is special because we celebrate the return of our spirit sisters and brothers." Antiri says while holding onto neteyams hand. "Ok do you want me to get all dressed up" neteyam asks questioning. "No you dress how you want to I was just letting you know" Antiri tells neteyam. "ANTIRI" I look and see my mother at the entrance to our hut. "I've got to go see you at dinner" Antiri says while turning towards her lover. "I love you" neteyam says "I love you too" Antiri says back. He brings her in and kisses her while she kisses back. She pulls away and smiles. "Okay bye before my mother chops off my head" Antiri says while starting to walk back to her hut.
