Reborn }{ Tsu-tey Story

6: Blessed

Tsu-tey Felt blessed, Eywa was smiling, The woman walked a little ways ahead of him, keeping her distance, He watched her, His eyes watching the way she walks from her tail leading to her hips, to her legs and hands, "Let's speed it up.." She mumbled to him and started at a soft Skip, long strides, He Kept up with her, She was way ahead of his students, She was already one with Eywa, the years spent alone they got well acquainted with each other. He could see that much, She will not need much training, Whoever gets her will be lucky. he thought to himself, She turned to look at him "Arent you supposed to be leading..." she had been waiting on him to lead this entire time, the thought alone sent embarrassment to his core.

He sprinted ahead of her, and she kept a few steps behind him.

he felt Weightless as they ran like he wouldn't lose air as easily, and she didn't seem to be slowing either. So he kept it up, and she followed. He gave her a few jumps and ducks, and as she chuckled, she kept up, It had been a while since she had been this far from the Coast. Even when Tsu-tey found her, it was far away from the home tree. She looked around recognizing some spots and memories coming to her from her time with Grace, Even with Su, Before he was Tsu-tey...

She Loved the forest With every cell inside her, So for some reason the closer they got to The home tree, the more excited she got deep down. They finally saw it in their sight, and Tsu-tey looked at her and smiled, Genuine, she looked at him then at the Giant tree. Just how she remembered. He tugged her by the wrist, and she had him release her before they took off towards the home tree. Many welcomed the Great Warrior Tsu-tey home, and Many older clans people saw her and smiled, many crowded and Tapped her in greeting, and she tapped them softly back. No longer fearful of such greetings, and as if like magic the Tsahik came from the spiral and Saw Liaka, She glanced at the girl a soft smile making its way to her face "Liaka Te Sullvi'ite...Welcome back, Ive been expecting you...Come." Liaka hurriedly followed Tsu-tey close behind as Mo'at stopped him "Liaka only." She took Liaka by the wrist and up the spiral.

Tsu-tey was left dumbfounded.

Liaka, however, was greeted with open arms, Neytiri grabbed her as soon as she entered the Tsahik's quarters, She could feel the young women's tears on her neck, as Liaka grasped her. "I see you, Neytiri..." Neytiri shuddered and pulled away a giant smile "I See you, Always see you Sister..." she cupped one of Liaka's hands between her own "Eywa smiles today...yes..." Neytiri was joyful. Tsahik asked them to sit. That they did Liaka listened closely to Mo'at explanation of the trials she would face becoming one of the people, Liaka listened with Caution before speaking "Tsahik I Have Made no Promises of staying...I said id come...to see Neytiri. I heard of her sadness..." She set a hand on Neytiri's shoulder "I understand you are Clanless..?" Liaka nodded "Do you not fear..." Liaka thought a moment "I've been alone three years...Eywa's guidance has seen me thus far..." "I cannot argue that...but would you Try...see the people Learn about them, Then decide. Learn some things for the trial and decide if you will go through with it...Eywa will lead you the way you are meant to, as she does all."

Liaka Nodded and Neytiri smiled "It makes me happy to see you stay, If only for a while..." "But while we are Done discussing the Important things..." Mo'at interrupted "We must Go decide your Teacher." Mo'at guided Liaka down the spiral where everyone gathered for news on Eywa's Gift, "She shall stay and Learn from us, Attempt the Trials of Becoming part of Our clan. I will choose her Teacher, Only the best." Mo'at scanned the crowd filled with Many warriors many tried to step forward but were passed by her eyes, As she landed on Tsu-tey as he nervously glanced at Liaka and the Others. "Tsu-tey...You will Teach Liaka our ways..." Tsu-tey was shocked, Liaka even more so, She flattened her ears and thought to herself, Shit.

"Of course Tsahik..." He nodded and glanced at Liaka "For now, It is getting late, Show her around the home tree, then head in early, Id spend my time training and meeting the people after the morning time. May Eywa bless us" With that everyone dispersed. Liaka Sat still sort of shocked as Tsu-tey Nudged her out of it, She looked at him with flattened ears and an annoyed expression. "Come, I will show you the Training grounds and then we got to a meal before hammock." She nodded and felt him tug her by the wrist, her following behind.

She couldn't really say anything in resistance, he was sadly her teacher. and if she were to go by her adoptive beliefs, Eywa wants this, so she better get something good out of it. She tugged her wrist following behind him a few steps as he turned to look at her, Finally they made it to the training grounds, a Few Na'vi rode Pa'li, and Laughter was heard between the groups, Liaka's pupils dilated as she climbed on a rock and watched them with Amazement, her ears twitching listening, Tail behind her swishing excitedly. Tsu-tey watched from behind, She looked ethereal, Almost Other Worldly, Her skin was a Lighter blue, Than his Or his people, She was like a vision from Eywa.

She turned "Is that Pa'li?" She spoke softly in a trance watching a few I've races laughing, Tsu-tey Nodded "Yes, Pa'li will be your first bond, Starting tomorrow." She looked at him in Shock suddenly a smile landed on her face as she turned back to the Pa'li, her ears perked up, goosebumps on her skin, Tsu-tey Kept this mental picture locked in his head. 

He grabbed her tail softly with a tug and spoke lowly "Come..The meal will start soon.." She looked at him again and went to say something "B--" He smirked "There will be plenty of time to see Pa'li, Come. Eat." he tugged her tail lightly again, She jumped from the rock only turning back to peek over her shoulder once, before following after Tsu-tey.

When they got back, Mo'at waved her over, She left Tsu-tey's side as he watched her depart, Siting among Neytiri and Mo'at. He made his way over to Olo'eyktan, Sitting near him, a few seats away from Liaka, He sat across from her, And most of Tsu-tey's friends around him noticed his staring, Some smirked amongst themselves, others nudged him, not wanting him to get caught. It was too late as her eyes met his, Green Meeting Gold. She let out a silent hiss, eyes dilated in a threat, Neytiri noticed and followed Liaka's eyes. With a laugh, Neytiri Nudged Liaka "You will sleep with me tonight.." Neytiri spoke with a smile. Knowingly, Liaka accepted with a nod, and began eating the food offered to her, mostly by small children who found her something of amazement, several hung around her laughing and offering words of endearment, as they Spoke in Na'vi to her, Some touched her braids between their fingers.

Liaka knew children had a special purity in the Goddesses' eyes. Liaka had always enjoyed the presence of children over adults. She assumed maybe it was the same way with Taira... maybe that's where she gets it from. Liaka lifted one of the children to her lap, as the child played with her braids. Liaka ate as they all did so, Their parents watching the Interaction, with awe. Tsu-tey Smirked watching the children tug her hair and Liaka seemingly unaffected, eating her Larvae.

Soon parents came to collect their children from Liaka, Some already asleep, Some still Partially away, Liaka helped the parents as best she could as they all gave her thankful smiles and gestures of 'I see you

Tsu-tey watched it all as every child would be carried from her.  as the last one left Liaka smiled after it, It waved sleepily from its mother's arms, Liaka waved back with a smile, before being lifted by her Arm by Neytiri "Come!" she giggled and Dragged her old friend with her, Tsu-tey was shocked hoping to get to show her the Hammocks...His ears flattened slightly before he shook it off. Tomorrow, he thought, Always tomorrow. 

Liaka followed her friend to the top of Hometree where Ikran was, Or so she said, Neytiri went out to the edge of the branch looking over at Pandora she took Liaka's hands to pull her to sit. Liaka did so, a smile on her face as Neytiri and she began speaking, Moving their hands about as they spoke, Neytiri told her of the last few years, the horrors they'd gone through since sylwanin's death, She even learned that Neytiri was Betrothed too Tsu-tey, When he was Betrothed too Sylwanin Liaka always thought him to be a lucky man to have Sylwanin, and there is not a doubt in Liaka's mind he was as equally lucky to have Neytiri now. Liaka Spoke to Neytiri about her home, her nest, and The coast. Neytiri found it all exciting.

They set there for a good portion of the night speaking to one another as they did in the school years ago, it was like they never lost a moment apart. Neytiri took Liaka's hand in hers "I just want to say..." Neytiri spoke softly "Sylwanin...it wasn't you or Grace's fault..." Liaka's ears flattened, her eyes glazing over as she looked at Sylwanin, her head bowing slightly, Neytiri frowned and put a hand on Liaka's chest "You are not, Sky people" Liaka followed her hand to her friend's eyes, which were glassy too. "I see you...Neytiri...but we disagree..." Neytiri smiled softly at her friend "Then we will just show you the truth... In time.." Liaka deep down felt Neytiri's words. her forgiveness left an emptiness in Liaka, an emptiness she couldn't fill. even with her being Sylwanin's sister, her words comforted but never filled that empty feeling.

As the night went on and they talked more, soon they joined in the Hammock, Neytiri's next to hers, as Neytiri brought hers over her rolling over to sleep, Liaka stared up into the tree, a tear falling from her left eye, 'You are not, Sky people' the words echoed over and over again, but as she lifted her hand and looked at it, all five digits wiggling in the light all she could think was 

'yes, I am...'
