Sey'ina POV

" how did this happen? " Tar'vina asked " a male warrior grabbed me from behind. " Rotxo explained
" was it Kap'peti? " she asked I nodded " he is always rough with children and new people. " she said healing his ear " you may feel a burn. " she said he nodded her hands glowed " ouch! " he said flinching I placed my hand on his.

" will he be alright? " I asked " yes. It was a small cut on his ear nothing too too serious. " she said taking her hands away then bandage his ear " my advice. Rest. Even though it is just a minor injury you Best not train or anything until it is healed and completely sealed up. The ashes can be unkind
here. " she said he nodded " thank you Tar'vina. " he said she nodded.

We walked back to his cocoon " we will start training again once you are fully healed. But you must listen to Tar'vina and get some rest. " I said he nodded getting inside his cocoon I sealed the cocoon then walked away for Rotxo to rest.

I sat on the edge I heard a Pho'lati screech and landed behind I knew it was I sighed " how is the clan doing? " I asked " ailing. " I said " some are fine but some of the people have still not yet recovered from Ra'tina death. " he said " how are you doing? " he asked " I miss her. " I said " we all do. " he said looking down " come. There is something you should see! " he said I turned to him worriedly we flew on his Pho'lati down.

I got off " what? " I asked looking at Nan'ko he looked at me I bended down touching the ashes I looked up " it started yesterday! " Xyo said coming down from Za'tika breaking his bond " what
started? " I asked he came to me " the ashes look at them. They seem sick. " he said turning to them
" I thought Ashes can't get sick. " I said " I thought so too. But ours can. " he said " if this keeps going on. What would we do? We need the ashes. They help us in every way they are need and can. " Xyo said.

" we must tell Tsahik about this. Before things get worsen. " I said they turned to me nodding we rode off I hugged Nan'ko he landed " mother! " I called she turned I saw her ear twisted " what is it Ma Daughter? " she asked " the Ashes are sick! " I said she looked at me then father Xyo came running in on his Za'tika " it is true. What she says. " he said getting down.

" when did this started? " Mother asked " yesterday after the fall of Ra'tina. " Nan'ko said beside me I looked at him sadly gasping " what are we going to do? " I asked " I'll take it from here. You three go. " mother said we left " SEY'INA! " I heard I turned seeing Montukyo " is it true? About what's happening with the Ashes? " he asked I nodded I took him to the ashes he placed his hand on them looking up at me I felt tears I looked at him worriedly his face turned angry.

" the Metkayina are to blame for this! " he said getting up walking away " what? How? They do not know where we live Montukyo! " I said following him noticing where he was going I gasped " Montukyo please! " I said grabbing his arm trying to pull him back but he did not listen he opened the Cocoon " AHH! " I heard Rotxo screaming falling out he coughed breathing heavily I went to him putting my hands on his arm seeing if he was ok he turned to me then saw a angry Montukyo " what is
happening? " he asked.

" you did this! " Montukyo shouted pointing his Bichuwa towards him " I.... Wait what did I do? I have been resting like Tar'vina told me too! " Rotxo said " he knows nothing of the sick Ashes Montukyo! Please surrender down! " I said " sick Ashes? What are you talking about? " he asked I got up walking to him" we have to show him! " I said hmph " he will only make it worse! " he said I looked at him sadly titling my head he grunted angrily I turned to Rotxo
" come! " I said we walked towards there.

Rotxo POV -

I gasped at what I saw the ashes looked so dead
" how did this happen? " I asked turning to them Montukyo titled his head back " it happened yesterday. Nan'ko said it happened after... " Sey'ina said I saw her tears she turned sadly Ra'tina death...? I thought confused I walked around the Ashes I looked at the roots of a dead tree I titled my head " Montukyo! " I said then turned to him he turned to me angrily.

" come! " I said " what? " he asked angry then saw it a small dead animal I looked up at him worriedly
" what are they? " I asked " Sa'tiku. Pure spirits... " he said bending down to the tiny lizard like creature I watched him sadly I put my arm on my leg " but I don't understand. The Sa'tiku aren't supposed to return until next Song. " he said " and if you didn't do this. Who did? " he said I even saw a tear in his eyes I looked down sadly closing my eyes I knew how they felt.

Sey'ina left to tell her mother I walked through the Lines Of Eywa I heard a singing voice I walked towards it curiously it was male

I experience the light

I walked through the forest more curiously to see who it was

For the nights of (our) life

they had soft roughly voice

New life, a new friend 

Oh Eywa, help us through the darkness Oh Eywa.

I got there I saw a familiar figure

Please Eywa...

It was Montukyo he turned to me shocked then the tendrils I noticed his were a bright color Green
" I See Sey'ina have showed you this place. " he said
" she has. It is very beautiful! " I said " she is. " he said " what was the song? " I asked his ears went back " no one was supposed to hear that. " he said.

" I'm sorry.... " I said " I won't tell anyone. " I said
" it was a Songcord! I was singing to Eywa it is how we ask preyers to be heard we have to sing them. It is transition for our clan. " he said I looked " why are you not a singer? " I asked " because I am a hunter. " he said taking his hands off " can't you be both? " I asked " no. I choose not to be. I am a proud hunter of my people. " he said.

" why do the Tendrils change colors? " I asked curiously he turned to me smiling " you are a curious child. " he said " they change color according to your Impressions and Spirits. " he said " do you know what mine means? " he asked I shook my head he smirked " it means new beginnings, Abundance and Nature. " he said " what does mine mean? " I asked.
