Aonung x Siobhan: Opposites Attract

Chapter 14: The passing of the torch

Third person's POV

The next day....

Jake and Siobhan were walking towards the clan leader's home with their heavy hearts as the sun was rising in the sky, the Sully family had a discussion last night after they had returned to their pod and they had decided to leave the Metkayina clan and to move far away from the Metkayina clan. Tonowari and Ronal then stood up at the sight of Jake and Siobhan walking over to them before Jake said to the clan leaders "My family and I will move on tomorrow and far away from here" Tonowari then said to Jake "Your son lies with our ancestors and your daughter is a sister of the Tulkun now, you and the rest of your family are Metkayina now" Tonowari then offered one of his hands out towards Jake for a handshake before Jake accepted his offer as they shook each other's hands before Tonowari and Siobhan looked at each other with small smiles on their faces while Ronal was looking at Siobhan with a knowing look on her face but Siobhan didn't notice Ronal looking at her as she walked off with her father back to her family's pod.

"There it was, we are sea people now and this is our home"

"What is it?" Tonowari asked Ronal as he noticed his wife was still looking at Siobhan while the oldest daughter of Jake and Neytiri Sully was still walking off with her father before Ronal said to her husband with a small smile on her face "Oh nothing, honey, Siobhan just reminds me of myself a lot back when I was a teenager" "Is there something that you want to tell me?" "No, I just don't want to spoil anything to you yet" Ronal said to her husband with a small smile on her face as Tonowari understood that Ronal must know something about Siobhan's future in the Metkayina clan.

Later that day....

Jake, Siobhan and Neytiri were standing directly in front of some tree trends from the spirit tree in the Cove of the Ancestors while Jake and Neytiri had placed a hand onto Siobhan's back for reassurance as their oldest daughter looked up at the spirit tree before she grabbed her braid and she connected her queue with the spirit tree while she felt calm and she closed her eyes and her parents had connected their queues too as they closed their eyes too. When Siobhan had opened her eyes, she was back in the forest and it was the forest where her family had grown up before the sky people had attacked them and as she walked deeper into the forest, she had almost frozen up at the sight of Neteyam standing with his bow in his hand and he was aiming it towards the water. Siobhan then smiled as she shook herself out of her frozen trance and she walked towards the boy who had jumped into the river just in front of himself before he grabbed the arrow that he had previously shot and he turned around before he looked up at Siobhan as he said to her "Siobhan!, look at what I've caught!" Siobhan then lowered down to Neteyam's level as it was a younger version of her older twin brother before his passing with her tears building in her eyes absentmindedly and she inspected the fish on the tip of the arrow as she said to Neteyam "Wow, that's a big one" "It was in the pool by the rocks right where dad said" Neteyam said to Siobhan as he was attempting to pull the arrow from the dead fish and with Siobhan's help, the arrow was released before Neteyam looked over at Siobhan with a small smile on his face.

Siobhan then blinked the tears that were gathering in her eyes and they fall down her cheeks before Neteyam frowned at the sight of his younger twin sister's upset face and he was transformed to his teenage self and the way that he was when he died before he asked Siobhan "Jeez, Siobhan, why are you crying?" Siobhan was stunned at the sight of her older twin brother looking in the same way as he had died but he still didn't know that he had died yet and that was okay because there was plenty of time for Neteyam to find out that he had died and he had been accepted by Eywa into the afterlife world. Siobhan then stepped towards Neteyam as she cupped her older twin brother's face in one of her hands and she shook her head before she began to gently stroke his face as she said to him "I'm just happy to see you, my big bro" Neteyam then smiled at his younger twin sister's words before he said to her "I'm happy to see you too" Siobhan then blinked as she removed her hand from his face and she felt her chest becoming empty at the sight of the kid version of Neteyam and she knew that there was no way that she could go back to the way that it was when Neteyam was alive. Neteyam then grabbed his bow and an arrow before he held it out to Siobhan as he said to her "Here, you try" "Okay" Siobhan said to Neteyam as she stood up and she took his bow and the arrow from him before he had stood up beside her on the ground just in front of the river as she asked him "Have you left any for me?" "Uh, maybe" Neteyam said to her as a joke while Jake and Neytiri had appeared from behind some trees and they watched their two oldest children from a distance where they couldn't be seen by them as Siobhan laughed about Neteyam's joke before she aimed Neteyam's bow and an arrow towards the water and she shoots a fish as she said to Neteyam "Yeah, check that out!" Jake and Neytiri then had tears in their eyes at the sight of their two oldest children interacting with each other and they were the children who had made Jake and Neytiri become parents.

"I see now, I can't save my family from running, this is our home, this is our fortress and this is where we make our stand"

Back at the spirit tree, Neytiri was seen with her eyes closed and she smiled at the sight of Neteyam and Siobhan interacting with each other in the spirit world while Jake was shown with his eyes closed and he was calm, but lastly, Siobhan was seen with her eyes closed before her face is shown in a close up range and she opens her eyes with a determined look on her face.

Jake's story is over now but Siobhan's story is just beginning right now.
