The Barren lands.

chp 1

Seeing his son spider hiss at him and dive away, Miles quaritch forced himself to leave the boy behind as he rode away on his ikran. His body felt as if it was failing on him as he willed the flying beast to fly away from the ocean, away from the water tribe and away from his target Jake Sully. He leaned forward onto the beast meekly holding onto it as the creature flew through the air. Miles gritted his teeth, ears slicking back as he came out of shock and realized that Jake sully had once again beaten him. That traitor to humanity was going to die a slow agonizing death and now, so would his entire family. Once he got back to base camp and healed he would come back for them all and this time he wouldn't let the influence of spiders mercy holy him back. 
"Fly faster you bastard." The young avatar snapped at his Imran causing the. east to hiss out, which Miles ignored as his eyes grew heavy, the pounding in his skull took over him as he ended up asleep on the creatures backside. 

He was in for a rude awakening when he felt the ikran crash into something causing his body to go flying off the damned animal and falling down trees. The colonel yelled as he tried to grab anything to brace his fall, only falling through tree branches and plant life as he crashed into the forest floor below him. The colonel let out a pain-noised hearing ringing boom through his ears in the distance he could see his ikran freaking out in the canopy. The ground felt so cold and soaking wet but all he could do was heave out air as his eyes rolled back into his skull. If he made it out of this alive, He promised that he would Skin Jake alive. 

Your amber  eyes peered out through the oasis. You were on a hunt when hearing the panicked noises of an animal drew your attention over to its direction.  You had watched the flying beast panic at the oasis thin branches giving out under its weight causing the ikrans rider to fall from it landing in the shallows of the oasis waters. Watching the beast fly away you then quickly made your way to the oasis's waters edge giving a weird look to the na'vi rider you laid flat on his back. You crouched down by his side examining the male in much confusion as to how a Forest clan member made it this far from his home and how unusual he looked. Not to mention how badly wounded the male was, You huffed as you looked around the oasis. You didn't really want the responsibility of looking out for this strange male, but you knew with how fast he was bleeding he wouldn't make it on his own. He wouldn't survive the barren lands on his own and you knew that. You let out a chime of annoyance as you took a hold of him and started dragging the male over to some rocks getting him out of the water completely and began to work on a fire. There you began to remove the strange garments he wore and then moved quickly to gather some plant life. While this oasis was small, eywa provided through it. You began to mash up a paste and smothered his wounds with it stopping the bleeding and hopefully stop any infection. Using other plant life you quickly fastened together some kind of covering for the males private areas, while seeing another bare isn't uncommon, it would be against the other wishes when unconscious. You took the strange forest na'vis clothing and began to wash the blood from it in the oasis's waters keeping an eye out for any predatory creatures that could be residing under its surfaces before getting them laid out on the rocks to dry. You sat by the fire staring at the male over its embers examining him well. He was a strange one, at least to you. He was so different. His hair was oddly short, you didn't know that forest na'vi cut their hair so short, you had always thought of them to grow it out like all other clans. He had weird markings on his arm, not those that he was born with but they didn't come off when you tried scrubbing at his skin as if the dark blotches that made out a shape were permanent in his skin. Another difference was his hands and feet, bearing five digits instead of four on each limb. A deformity you have never seen or heard of in the barren lands. His skin a bright blinding blue while yours were duller to a gray shade. 
While the darkness surrounded you both, you noticed how much brighter his skin illuminated than yours, causing your eyes to widen and get closer to examine his features. Ah…He had hair above his eyes, that was another difference between you two. Such a strange na'vi. You tenderly traced his face features, almost memorizing each one before pushing yourself away and back to the fire. You let out another huff. You should've just left him, he would be like a baby in these lands and he would burden you. His physic showed you that much, being one of the forests he would have grown too accustomed to the forest's abundances of food. He would struggle more in the barren lands. Where food will be scarce from the oasis and into the long bouts of sandy land. Not only would he mostly starve more than you, but his skin, it was so brightly blue that it would likely burn him. The only shade in these lands were the trees of the oases and even some of them barely had any trees. You huffed and settled in for the night, If the male even makes it to the morning he would need to be taught how to surive in these lands. 

Miles woke up to his head pounding slightly, he let out a groan feeling how dry his mouth felt and how his lips felt so chapped they were ready to crack. He pushed himself to sit up and shielded his eyes from the pandoras sun. He took in his newest surroundings seeing a small body or pond of water and a forest that surrounded it. The smell of smoke hit his nostrils as he turned his head to see someones campfire. This made him become alert very quickly, He knew that fire wasnt his. His eyes quickly glanced around in all directions before snapping back to the treelike were two bright amber orbs stared dirrectly into his soul. Daring him to move. His hand shifted to take his gun only boticing it wad gone, a surge of panic rushed through the marine as his eyes darted to find his gun obly seeing him bare naked except for a woved blanket of plants covering his lower half. 
"at ease. You fell far. " A feminine voice sounded from the trees and miles tried to make out the words. Confusion racked his brain as he looked up into bright amber eyes. 
The woman na'vi in front of him pressing her hand down on his check, easing him to lay back down. 
"I will fetch you water, stay." Your words echoed to him but he could only catch the words you and water. Miles' eyes watched your form get up and head to the pond collecting water in what seemed to be a small bowl made from the skull of some creature. 

'Disgusting savage' 

Your return was swift and you were pressing that ivory skull to his face.
"Drink, slowly." You told him sharply and watched him squirm away from the skull.
 "Get that away from me!" Your eyes barely flinched at his ears slicking back and he hissing at you. In fact you started the colonels when you smacked the shit out of the side of his head.

"drink" Your time had sharpened and you practically forced the colonel to drink from the skull bowl much to his dislike.
But the cool water from the pond soothed his throat and he soon snatched the bowl from your hands, chugging the cool refreshing water down to quench the thirst he was now experiencing. A sound of a chuckle left you as you took the empty bowl from him, going to refill it and bring it back to him. 

"Maybe you should listen to someone who's helping you." You chimed in amusement.

Miles' ears twitched and he hissed again, chugging the water from the bowl. As he did so he took in your form. You werent of the water na'vi or the forest na'vi he's seen before…Your skin more gray and duller while the flecks of your skin still illuminate it wasn't as bright as he's seen them. You dressed differently as well. Clothes formed the shape of shorts wrapped alongside your lower half and a simple cloth covering your chest was at the top half, you had those stupid bead things the na'vi wore and you had clothes that bunched up around your shoulders, it was loose as if you could move it over your head. Perhaps a hood. Your eyes as cat-like as the other na'vi he's seen were bright amber practically glowing in the fires light as you stared at him. Your build however was different from the other na'vi while he's seen the lean and limber of the forest and the more build and slim of the water na'vi clans, your build was thicker. 

"Best drink up as much as you can before we leave, your body will need to store as much as possible. I'll hunt for us tonight but soon you will have to hunt your own weight and eat before we leave. Food is scarce in the barren lands." Your voice rambled as you got up and began to walk through the night vanishing amongst the trees.

"Great, there's even more of them." Miles huffed as he finished the water skull bowl again.
