TSOWÄL POV:

I kissed Ronal on her neck as she was sleeping, exhausted from the event we had just done. We have been in the hut for nearly 3 hours now. Our children knew better than to come back until we were ready.

Ronal woke up from the touch and slowly looked at me. She smiled up at me before kissing me on the lips. She was breathtaking.

"How long has it been?" She asked and I slowly looked outside to see that it was getting dark." It's almost eclipse." I told her and she sat up from my arms." What are you planning?" She asked me, she knew me so well.

"This will be the sully family's first dinner here. I was thinking we should invite them." I told her and she scoffed." Well you can go tell them yourself. I have more important things to do than to be in their presence." She said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Come on now, give them a break, they have come all the way here for our help." I warned her and she looked at me." I don't understand why you should help them. The last time we did, people got hurt." Ronal said and I frowned.

"It was war, Ronal. Of course people were going to get hurt." I told her as she suddenly got up and got dressed." I don't want to talk about this, not now." She said and I sighed before getting up and getting dressed myself.

"Can you just please be civil with them just for one night?" I asked and she looked at me before looking behind me. I turned around to see my daughter, Tsireya standing by the entrance." Tsireya." I said and she looked up at me.

"Yes Father." She said and looked at me as Ronal walked out of the hut. I watched her leave before sighing and looking at Tsireya." Do you want to come with me to invite the sully family for dinner?" I asked her and her ears went up at the mention of the family.

"Of course." She says. She stepped to the side as I walked past her. As we walked towards the sully's house, she trailed behind me. " Is Mom all right?" Tsireya asked, and I turned to face her. "It will take some time for your mother to trust strangers." She frowned when I told her.

"But I thought you were friends since you fought together years ago." I smiled as she said this. "We only fought together because the sky people were on their way to our house." That's what I told her. 

"But we're safe because of you and Mama." I smiled as she said this. She was the brightest thing in my life, aside from her mother and sister. Reya, my sweet little girl. Speaking of her sister. "Where is your sister?" I asked her, and she followed me as people passed us, nodding their heads.

"Ewluea agreed to keep an eye on her while I showed the family around." She added and soon we arrived at the family. We looked into the hut and saw Jake and Neytiri. When they saw us, they stood up and approached us. They made a hand gesture, as did I and my daughter.

"What brings you here?" Jake asked, looking at us as I began to speak. "There is a dinner party tonight at Eclipse, and my family and I would like to invite you to join us." When I told him, their eyes widened.

"Thank you very much; we will be there."  Jake stated, and his mate nodded. Tsireya smiled and nodded to them. " Wonderful, we hope you've settled in well?" I asked him, and he nodded.

"We did, and we appreciate you taking us in." He told me, and I smiled back. " Please do not thank me; I hope that whatever situation you were in at home can be resolved." They nodded as I spoke.

"I should get going. I have some more work to do before dinner. I'll let your family finish settling in." They nodded as I looked at Tsireya. " Later, my daughter will come get you and show you where dinner is served." I said, they nodded once again before me and my daughter walked away from their hut.

The sun was beginning to set over the lush landscape of Pandora as the Sully family made their way towards the village. It had been a long journey, but finally, they were arriving at their new home.The family except Neytiri and Kiri were filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness as they approached the campfire.

As they entered the village, they were greeted by the warm smiles and curious eyes of the Na'vi people. They could see that some of the people had disgusted looks on their faces while looking at the family.

Jake led his family towards a large gathering area where a feast had been prepared in their honor. The aroma of exotic fruits and roasted meats filled the air, making everyone's mouths water with anticipation. The Na'vi people had to go out of their way to make this dinner special for their new guests since Tsowäl wanted them to feel welcome.

As they settled down on a long log adorned with vibrant flowers and leaves, Jake couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the beauty and harmony of the village. He looked around, taking in every detail - from the intricately woven huts to the glowing plants that illuminated the night.

Lo'ak, on the other hand, had his eyes fixed on someone else - Ewluea, the niece of Tsowäl, the leader of the reef clan. She was known for her striking beauty and gentle spirit. Lo'ak had caught glimpses of her around the village, and he couldn't help but be captivated by her presence.

After dinner, as everyone began to disperse and find their own spaces for rest, Lo'ak mustered up the courage to approach Ewluea. He found her sitting near a small pond, gazing at the reflection of the moon on the water. Lo'ak took a deep breath and walked towards her.

"Hello, Ewluea," He said, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness as he remembered her name.

Ewluea turned to face him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Hello, Lo'ak. It's nice to see you."

Lo'ak smiled shyly. "Likewise. If you don't mind me asking why aren't you with your family?"

Ewluea turned to see her family eating together while laughing before her gaze shifted towards the pond. "It's nothing complicated, you shouldn't worry about it."

Lo'ak then took a seat beside her, his eyes never leaving her face. "Right, sorry I asked." He said and Ewluea's smile grew wider at that. "It's okay."

As they continued to talk, Lo'ak discovered that Ewluea shared his passion for exploration and adventure. They spoke about their dreams and aspirations, their love for nature, and their desire to protect Pandora's fragile ecosystem.

Hours passed as they lost themselves in conversation, unaware of the world around them. It was as if time had stood still, and in that moment, Lo'ak felt a deep connection forming between them.

Meanwhile, Tsireya watched the interaction between Lo'ak and Ewluea with growing jealousy. She didn't know what she was feeling inside when it came to the two, the family had just got here a few hours ago. But seeing Ewluea engage so effortlessly with Lo'ak only intensified her envy.

Ronal sensed her daughter's distress, called her name. Tsireya looked at her mother.

"What is wrong, dear child?" She asked and Tsireya looked down as Ronal frowned at her. Ronal looked to see her husband talking to one of the elders while her other two children were playing with their food.

"It's nothing, mother." Ronal sighs before putting her plate down and move to Tsireya." I am here for you little one." She said and Tsireya smiled before nodding.

Ronal watched the Sully Family from a distance, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. She had always been protective of her village and its way of life, and the arrival of the Sully family threatened to disrupt that delicate balance.

But she also knew that her husband, Tsowäl, had made the decision to welcome them, and as his wife, she had no choice but to accept it.
