The following day, I took Jake up to the top of the Hometree. We reached the outstretched branches at the very top, and I let out a whistle. My ikran, Urivu, soared down from the leaves of the higher twigs.

"Don't look him in the eyes." I command. "He'll see it as a threat."

"What is that?" I questioned.

"This is ikran." I respond. "Ikran is not a horse, once shahaylu is made, ikran will bond with only one hunter in entire life."

I pulled my visor down over my eyes.

"When do I get one?" he asked.

"You'll get one when you're ready." I felt his glare in the back of my head. "Not yet."

I jumped on the back of Urivu and jetted off the branch, swooping under him, I smiled up at him. As he smiled back, I felt a darted feeling in my stomach, did I like him? No, I couldn't, he was some stupid dreamwalker and if anything happened to my sister, I would be next in line. I shook the thought from my head and landed in front of him.

One day, I was walking through the hometree 'til Jake ran up and grabbed me.

"Follow me!" he exclaimed.

"What is it?" I asked. He ignored me and kept pulling me forward until I saw her, Grace. "Wait, is that-?"

Jake nodded as I ran up and embraced Grace. "Grace, how did you get in?" I asked

"Jake convinced Mo'at to let me in, it's good to see you again." she said.

"It's good to see you too." I said, grinning.

Today was the day, time for Jake to bond with an ikran an become a hunter. Tsu'tey had taken him and a couple other young hunters to the floating mountains where the ikran nest. I hopped on my ikran and began to fly over.

I flew beneath the vine they were running on and signed 'I see you' to the hunters as Jake signed it back. They walked into a cave, that opened into a waterfall, I flew in through the waterfall and landed in front of them.

"I see you," I said to Tsu'tey and the others.

"Jake will go first." Tsu'tey commanded. I nodded and led him to a ledge.

We walked along the thin, rocky path to the nest. We stood there as Jake asked. "How will I know if they choose me?" he asked.

"It will try to kill you" I replied.

"Outstanding."

(I would right the taming scene but I honestly can't be bothered. I'll just assume you know what happens. Continues right afterwards.)

I jumped on Urivu and flew down to meet Jake who was in the air. I smiled at him as he smiled back, excited to be in the air.

"This is great!" he exclaimed.

I smiled at him, happy that he was happy. We then landed as the other young hunter bound with their ikran.

"Congratulations Jake," I said, "you're now a hunter."

We were sat in the Hometree, preparing Jake for his dream hunt. I stood in front of him, painting his body with white paint. My fingers traced over his toned muscles and then his face, looking him in the eyes.

"Go" I commanded. "It is time."

He stood up and walked down the stairs, leave me there, waiting for his dream hunt to finish. As time past, I began to worry about him as it had taken a while for him to finish, then my mother walked up the stairs, with him behind her.

"It is time." She said.

I nodded in reply, taking him by the hand and leading him to the tree of voices.

"This is a place for prayers to be heard, and sometimes answered." I explained.

Jake connects his queue to the tendrils of the tree. "It's like, a sound you feel."

"We call this utraya mokri - the Tree of Voices. The voices of our ancestors, who live within Eywa." I explain. "You are Omaticaya now. You make your own bow out of the wood of the Hometree. And you may choose a woman." I turned away from him. "We have many fine women, Ninat is the best singer."

"I don't want Ninat." He replied.

"There's Beyral, she's a great hunter."

"I've already chosen." Jake explained. "But he must also choose me."

"He already has." I say surprised.

I looked at me intently and pulled me in, planting a kiss on my lips. I blushed and then gave in, kissing him back. He slowly pushes his tongue into my mouth, I allow him to as we connect our queue.

I feel a wave of pleasure throughout my body as our body connect. He placed his hand under my thigh and pulled me up onto his lap. We continue to kiss as I let my body melt into his.

We mated that night as I fell asleep in his strong arms.
