When Lo'ak left he went to Payakan. You and Tuk went after him. You try to find him but without success.

Ingo - I'm sorry Tuk, but I can't go any further. We'll cheer him up when he gets home, I promise.

Tuk - Ok. But he's not lost and will come back, right?

Ingo - Of course. Don't worry. 

Tuk - Ok. Let's go home.

You turned around and started riding. A minute later a sky people submarine saw you and started chasing you.

Ingo - Tuk! Hold on to me, tight!

Tuk - I'm scared! 

Ingo - Don't worry! I'll get you out of here! I'll dive! Hold your breath!

You dive in and try to escape him by swimming through the corals. But they shoot at you and killed your ilu. But luckily you found a place to hide. You saw that it was getting harder for Tuk to hold her breath. You saw (the creature that helps you hold your breath longer) and gave it to her.

B

ut you found only one of them. (The conversation in " * " is by sign language)

" Tuk - What about you?

Ingo - Don't worry. I can hold my breath a little longer. Enough time for the submarine to leave.

5 minutes later the submarine is still looking for you. It's getting harder and harder, by every second, for you to hold your breath.

Tuk - Take it. You can't breathe.

Ingo - No... Your family will kill me... if something happens to you...

( the "..." means that it is difficult for you to hold your breath and you cannot focus on the sign language)

Tuk - And Neteyam will kill Me if something happens to You!

Ingo - I said... No! "

Then you saw the submarine was leaving. You wait for a little, to be sure it left. You signaled Tuk that you can now float. You swam a little, but you can't hold your breath anymore and you passed out. Tuk almost reached the surface, but when she turned to see where are you, she saw you weren't moving. She realized you were unconscious. She swam towards you, grabbed your hand, and swam to a rock, she saw. In the meantime, Lo'ak was going home. Payakan decided to accompany him to the reef wall. They were passing by the place where you and Tuk are. Lo'ak saw 2 na'vi in the water and 1 of them was unconscious on the rocks.

Lo'ak - (sign language) Payakan, look! They need help! We have to help them!

Payakan - Ok.

They went to the rock and Lo'ak saw it was you.

Lo'ak - Tuk? What are you doing here? What happened to Ingo?!

Tuk - (with tears in her eyes) Please help her!

He cheches your pulse.

Lo'ak - Don't worry. She'll be ok.

Then he realized you are not breathing. So he starts a cardiac massage. You woke up, sat up, and spat out water.

Tuk - (with tears in her eyes, but smiling) You are ok!

You start coughing. Lo'ak rubbed your back

Lo'ak - It's ok. Take it easy.

You stopped coughing and started breathing deeply.

Ingo - Lo'ak... Where were you...

Lo'ak - I was with Payakan. Then we saw you and came to help you. What were you doing here?
