Reborn }{ Tsu-tey Story

4: Youth In War

L I A K A

Liaka got accustomed to school and her new friends, learning so many new Na'vi words she didn't know, Was shown by the children how to enjoy and explore the forest with respect. One day she called Su "SU!!" and waved at him as they approached the school her tail wagging excitedly. His eyes widened as some of the kids giggled, he ran over to her tugging her tail harshly and whispered angrily "Tsu-tey...Tsu-tey in front of people..." He hissed softly at her, and she nodded with an embarrassed smile whispering "I'm sorry Su..." he just nodded and they went about the lessons with grace.

This went on like this for weeks, Months, every day the children left, and Tsu-tey stayed behind for another Hour til dark, Just to talk with her. asking her random questions, and she asked the same of him. They started walking back to their separate homes on their own, They stayed later than even Grace. Liaka learned Tsu-tey was Betrothed to Sylwanin whom Liaka thought was the prettiest Na'vi aside from Neytiri. Tsu-tey was lucky she always thought, Eywa blessed him.

He even took her On his Ikran one night When everyone was asleep, that was a night they got scolded for But Liaka remembered feeling free, Fully free. and Tsu-tey remembered the Pretty smile she wore that night, and how she seemed to bask in the wind as it hugged her tightly, She didn't frighten away from leaning over the side or venturing out away from him to look around, Keeping a hold on his shoulders, He thought that Eywa Blessed her even if she was a Demon...

That night Tsu-tey left her at the Sky-peoples base and flew off, she remembered watching him leave her friend, And she enjoyed her time with each and every one of them, But Liaka learned a new term, a Soft warm Feeling in her chest proved it, She found her best friend...the books she read didn't say much more about relationships other than friendships, friends, best friends, and best friends forever...So when she felt this warm feeling she chalked it up too, That was her one true best friend...and she could always trust him, Her Su was a good Man of the People, and she knew He'd always be a good friend...

But that time would soon come to an end.
Still, a year and a Half later they were teaching, but this day would be their last.

When Grace and Liaka got to the school they were preparing for the day when they heard the yelling "Sa'nok!" multiple yells as grace watched Sylwanin and three others burst in, the younger children already inside, Tsu-tey Standing with them, I wondered where he had gone...Su...He didn't meet my eyes "You must help We've done something against the Sky people now they are come for us!" Grace heard the yells of Marines in the forest, Liaka's Tail twitched Anxiously, and spoke quickly "Grace we need to get everyone to home tree..at least the children..." Liaka was Almost Seventeen, No Longer considered a child on Pandora. Grace was stuck in Shock and Kept questioning the children About what they did, Suddenly shooting erupted and screams, Sylwanin Fell to the ground, Liaka grabbed Up Neytiri and another child, and Tsu-tey did the same, As they escaped through the window, Liaka Dropped the children next to Tsu-tey "Run My friends Go!" Tsu-tey grabbed her arm She shook him off "My Sa'noks in there, Im not leaving her, Go I will get Sylwanin..I'll fix her injuries" Tsu-tey believed her and Nodded taking the children as they ran through the forest, Liaka ran to the front of the school just in time to see them gun down the two other Na'vi accompanying Sylwanin, Liaka's body trembled Watching two Na'vi teens much like her gunned down like animals, when they raised their guns to her, Grace let out a scream "NO NO FUCK WE'RE WITH THE PROGRAM YOU FUCKS! DON'T YOU DARE! NOT AGAIN!' She stepped in front of Liaka, Liaka shivering like a leaf, But she quickly shook it off running inside to check on Sylwanin, When she entered a puddle sat at her feet, flashes, seconds of memory hit her, Puddle, the first puddle...Not the last...

Liaka dropped to her knees and let out a wail, Her heart ached for Tsu-tey and the Clan's loss, she was next Tsahik, Tsu-tey's betrothed. His best friend was worthless, and Liaka couldn't save her...Couldn't do anything...not against the sky people...She had her ears flattened against her head, Not in sadness, Not fear, But Rage. she felt a burn in her gut and chest that left her with a shake she couldn't push down no matter how hard she tried.

Grace came In and saw Sighing "We have to go Liaka..they are calling us back." Liaka didn't move "Go back there...to those murderers...Those children killers..." Liaka had goosebumps, her hair standing up on edge "We don't have a choice Liaka...we are paid for bodies...even you..." That hit Liaka like a truck, Paid for...Im property...

When they got back the new Corporal Quaritch came in, Introducing himself, "Well well, we got ourselves an actual native?" he grabbed her tail and she quickly moved away with a snarl "Ahh mouthy bitch Hmm?" Grace Sighed "What do you want Jarhead?" "I wanted to let you know your next Shipment of Drivers will be shipping out in the next three years...However, with one flaw, No Thomas Sully, Guy was shot in an Alleyway, Left to bleed out, Got his brother tho, Sully, Hes a Marine, Jacob Sully. "

That was like a hit to Grace's gut, she was Counting on Thomas Sully to be the one to take over for her, But Norm was still in Cryo so it worked out in the end. Quaritch spoke up, "Does the girl Know she is paid Property and not a REAL Native right? got a tracker in her...?" with that Liaka Smacked him upside the head her claws digging into the side of his face, He let out a horrified Yell. Liaka Slammed out the door and left it wide open leaving everyone to grab their masks.

Liaka wouldn't be property, especially theirs. She got out the same way she always did. She didn't know where to go, But to the school...She ran as fast as her legs and lungs would take her, when the school came into view she saw the two bodies in front of the school were gone...She walked up the steps and she got inside, there was Tsu-tey standing over Sylwanin. Tsu-tey knew who she was by her scent, Yovo fruit, and Sun lilies he had found out were Liaka's scent marks. "You say, friend..." Tsu-tey whispered "Su..." Liaka replied her ears lowered in sadness at his sadness her tail wagging slowly "But you are evil Like sky people..." Her heart plummeted. "Evil...like Sky people" She whispered, The sadness cracking at the end, as this sent Tsu-tey into a rage as he hissed, "EVIL LIKE SKY PEOPLE FIVE FINGERS AND ALL!" He walked angrily up to her gripping her hand and showing her harshly "DEMON BLOOD EVIL BLOOD! KILL EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH! EVEN PURE THINGS! THEN SAY YOU WILL HEAL HER THEN DON'T!" Liaka looked at him in fear her Emeralds dimming with every word til no light was left in the giant greens staring at him. She ripped herself from him and ran out.

He didn't bother following her, He had nothing left to say, everything he said is what he needed to say.



That night Liaka was alone, She Climbed a tree, Walking along the branches, She found a Tree big enough for her, She climbed High and found a hole, Big enough to squeeze into, a Cavern inside the tree big enough for a nest. It would do her well. High ground and she needed very little space. being alone she hadn't the need for space. 

There she slept, There she made her home.


Grace Made her way to the home tree in her Avatar to find Liaka, And when she got there Liaka was Nowhere and Tsu-tey came forward "I WILL TELL YOU LIKE I TOLD LIAKA!" "I'm trying to find her! She disappeared attacked a Sky person, Then left in the night I'm trying to find her.." Tsu-tey frowned, she Attacked her own Kind? Mo'at descended the Spiral "Grace...The death of my daughter by your people was a knife to the heart yet you return...I will Only Accept Liaka as she is truly one of us Made by you..." Grace's ears lowered "She's gone and I fear she may never return back to me...She attacked one of the Sky people...She ran off afterward have any of you seen her..." Tsu-tey spoke, "I Told her to go away, As we should to you..." Mo'at was shocked by his words "She was a Gift from Eywa! and you sent Eywa Away!" She yelled at the Boy of ten and seven, as he lowered his head "She is Sky person...is she not?" he asked "She is No and she Is. Her human body died. She doesn't remember being a Sky person...She is a Soul given from Eywa to the Body of one of the Sky people's false Bodies...she is breathing living example of eywa's mercy and you sent her away!" Tsu-tey was stunned into Silence Mo'at turned to her "We will keep our eyes in the forest out for her, and when we hear a word I will send word to you Grace to come to say your goodbyes...for she will Join us if we find her...Let us hope Eywa graces us with one last Blessing as this."


- Two and a Half Years Later -

Liaka Sat in her tree, Sharpening her knives, and her bow across her chest, she had learned many things in her years alone, Solatude is a blessing, one she was grateful for...She tried to push her memories Of her Sa'nok and her friend Su...To the back of her mind, and it was good for a while, she forgot for a while.

She was spending today Hunting for her meals to last her the week, Only to hear the Hiss of an Incoming ship, She looked up seeing a Ship come into view her tail swishing and ears flattened as she stared stoically at the ship gripping her bow tightly her knuckles turning a light shade of blue, More sky people, More problems...Gratefully Liaka was a ways away from Hometree and Skypeople base, She was on the Coast near the water. 

She let out a sigh and rolled her eyes at the Idiocy of the Sky People, Going back to her work, Her mind always wandered to the surviving Children of the school, Neytiri...Senru, Even Su after all his harsh words, looked to her hands after that thought, and Hissed to herself tail wagging in annoyance, Damn extra fingers...he wasn't wrong though in his words, over time Liaka replayed them in her head, she was a Demon...and Unknown shes Alive somehow after the death of her avatar driver...She was created in a Lab, not like how it's supposed to be, However that is she thought, Yes Liaka had seen animals give birth, and probably unknowingly have sex, but she Probably thought it was gross and looked away.

Liaka looked at the sky in thought, But she just wished to not be different even if she was still alone. This is how her day went, Surviving, Living, and enjoying the World around her, she had become very spiritual in her time by herself, She had visited what she assumed to be a special place, the trees glowed, and whispered through the wind. She found it beautiful and peaceful, Surrounded by the sounds of the forest and the feeling of Eywa. 

She found herself spending most of her time there listening to the whispers with her eyes closed, when she closed her eyes, the whispers would get closer, and sound like they were right next to her, she only listened, never talked.

This place was her safe spot, a spot where she felt one with the world and not alone.
