-Three years later: 2149

She Let her feet step and move for her, Her body moving on its own within the forest, her, Grace, and Max collecting Samples, Max more so there to observe the avatars, since he was in human skin. Liaka's tail Swaying excitedly behind her as Skipped softly over to a tree looking up into its branches with wide eyes "hello you beautiful being...", she softly respectfully moved the soil from beneath the tree slightly exposing the roots, Pulling out her smaller tablet she scanned it, seeing it glow with as many connections as the human brain, Pumping and beautiful. "I see you, Eywa..." she said Na'vi sliding off her tongue like butter.


Her ears twitched in fascination, Liaka had begun remembering bits and pieces, never seeing What Taira looked like, Only hearing her voice in her dreams and pieces of memory only split seconds. But her Emotions towards this world, The work Flowed through her, It could be seen by the two other Doctors who worked beside Taira. She was excited, Knowledgeable when it came to what they were here to do. 

She heard the soft noises of the Prolemuris, She looked up and saw a few swinging up overhead, and one stopped looking directly at her before descending to where she could touch him. she reached a handout and the Prolemuris did the same but quickly climbed away when fingertips met, not of fear but excitement its noises and an indication as it climbed off up the tree.

Liaka smiled letting out a soft laugh and going back to her work. She sniffed the air and a scent of Rain and Firewood filled her nose, It could be the forest, But for some reason, she highly doubted a forest could smell like a day-old campfire. She kept her eyes on the ground however ignoring it, She was now the Age of Almost Fourteen It's been almost three years since she was woken up. 

-Start music-

She knew there were eyes on them, Grace had said before they were here in hopes to learn from the Natives. Liaka could only hope to meet more people that looked like her but weren't like her. Max and Grace were distracted with their Samples, as Liaka took this as a chance to further explore, with respect, of course, her body moved on its own, her tail swishing in curiosity, touching leaves of plants and inspecting the bright colors


Suddenly she heard a twig snap and she gasped and turned to see a flathead ram, and its babies, her ears twitched and her eyes brightened as she squatted down to its level not to startle it, completely ignoring her surroundings, the Ram looked upon her, chirping at its babies, as they fell in line following their mother, She watched them with a soft smile, she wasn't like Grace, Decked out in a Wilderness explorer outfit, she was barefoot, shorts, tanktop, and her toolbelt and backpack. She wanted to feel the world how Animals and people of the planet do.

She was so distracted by the Ram and its offspring that she didn't feel the eyes on her from behind, The Eyes scanning her strange look, she wasn't Na'vi but she didn't look completely sky people, she moved like Na'vi.

Liaka spoke in Na'vi softly "Hello sister..." She whispered to the ram, signaling the 'I see you' with her hand on her forehead, The Man watched her from the Bushes with curiosity in his eyes, He decided that he was alone, and seemingly she was far from her group, he would confront her.

"You Aren't Welcome, Eywa doesn't Claim you.." the Boy spoke, His voice of Slight rasp of aging maturity, Liaka was startled slightly but didn't show it looking around for whoever it was, her ears flatten slightly in nervousness "Eywa sees you...sir..." she translated the words best she could into Na'vi with her shaky voice. He looked upon her and snickered, "you should go away...Schxawng..." She frowned softly "Y-Yes Of course.." Liaka said as she went to go stealthy like through the bushes but the voice yelled shaking her "Wait! What is your name..." Liaka's ears perked slightly "Liaka..." The forest was quiet for a moment, and with that Liaka quickly took her to leave, Grace Gasped "There you Are! Come on it's time to go..." She grabbed Liaka's wrist dragging her back to the Samson, Liaka looked over her shoulder as they walked away, her ears twitching and tail swishing happily, the smell from earlier filled her senses Rain and a Day old Fire...

- end song -

-a week later-

When Liaka told her about the encounter, Grace was ecstatic, first time the Na'vi interact is with Liaka, So very interesting, Grace was a Mess with excitement for the next few weeks after that, And Liaka with her, Those few weeks they went out beyond the border many times, and each time she smelled that Same scent, but never saw whom it came from, but they were always following her. One day she was Out beyond by herself, She had visited her 'mothers' grave, as she'd done ever since she found out about her, resting her hand on the soil above where the body was placed saying a gentle na'vi melody when the scent came over her and she quickly stood up her tail swishing about as she glanced everywhere "So you sense me now..." the voice spoke, it sounded Maturer then last they spoke, she figured they could see her so she nodded "What...no words this time Tawtute..." Liaka remained silent "Sa'nok sa-" she stopped herself "Sa'nok said I shouldn't talk to people I can't see..." 

The voice in the trees let out a scoff "So talking to a tree isn't good enough?!" his voice seemed irritated, almost desperate she frowned softly "No..I mean, it is.." She said softly, She heard a voice yelling her name and her tail swished at the sound "Liaka!!" Sa'nok, she thought to herself. "Well..run along then, someone is calling you..." Liaka looked into the trees only seeing a dash of blue before the scent completely disappeared

That's how things went for Weeks, She'd go to the same spot and meet with the same voice, it got deeper and more mature with time, less cautious, open almost with her.

She'd learned at least one thing, The voice went by one thing, they wouldn't tell her their name but what they could call them, Su...The two little letters created a friendship, or what Liaka could call a friendship, she didn't have a friend to go off of, Other than Sa'nok...so she figured this was as close to a friend as a creature like her could have, and that was good enough...

Su and Liaka got comfortable, to the point Su let out a few chuckles every once in a while, tho he was always hidden in the trees, behind the protection of Eywa as he said. She was just happy to learn from him, or just speak to him. She found comfort in the forest and the strange being called Su that visited her there and could only hope it would last a long time.

A lot of time passed like that, Her Sa'nok wondered where she went most days, but Grace didn't Judge, for Liaka was one with Pandora. Grace could ever only dream of her ever getting that experience and feeling what she did. So she wouldn't discourage it. One day, Grace and Liaka were in the forest Collecting Data and Samples, When the smell came over Liaka and she smiled wide and yelled out "SU!" She turned around feeling it closer than usual, seeing a group of Na'vi with their spears pointed at her, and Grace Gasped quickly ran to Liaka putting her behind her, and yelled in Na'vi "No no! we don't mean harm!" putting her hand out in surrender. The Na'vi in the group didn't smell like the scent Liaka always smelled but the Scent was muffled between the group, They Spoke too them Bringing them with them, Liaka on one side, was Fearful, on the other side she was worried about seeing Su, the Actual Su.

However, she would soon realize how unlike them she truly was
