chapter 27...
Jake, Neytiri, Toniwari, Ronal and members of the clans guard rode out to the reef to discover a Tulkun, just floating in the water...dead.
They quickly came to realise that this was no ordinary Tulkun. It was Ronal's Spirit sister. Ronal hopped off her Skimwing and sorrowfully made way over to her Tulkun. She pulled herself up on the fin of the Tulkun and rested her hands on her face as tears ran down her cheeks. She came to realise that right next to her was the mothers dead calf, floating in the water right next to her...
Ronal sobbed, resting her hands on her Spirit sister, completely distraught.
Toniwari put his head down, sadness ran through his emotions and he felt for his mate.
"Her name was Ro'a." Tonwari announced to Jake and Neytiri, who were both staring with the same sad expressions across their faces.
"She was my Spirit sister." Ronal cried out. "She was the composer of songs. Much revened, we would sing together... She waited many breeding cycles to have this calf, the clan was so happy for her."
Jake and Neytiri sighed, not knowing what to say or do or how to even help. Neytiri felt the pain of losing a Spirit sister... She remembered the pain of losing Seze in that very moment and the same feeling came rushing up to the surface.
"What is this, Toniwari?" Ronal began to yell. "What is this!"
Toniwari was flushed with anger and headed over to comfort his mate.
Jake and Neytiri rode around the side of the Tulkun to find a tracker engraved in Ro'a back. Jake pulled the tracker off her back and disabled it.

{Back at the village}
The clan all gathered on that rainy day to discuss their plan to avenge Ronal's fallen sister.
"My spirit sister and her baby, have been murdered by the sky people!" Ronal announced to the clan, who all began screaming and shouting after hearing the news.
Ao'nung and Rotxo were smeared with anger and Tsireya began sobbing. The Sully family were all gathered around trying to calm down the situation.
Za'nara ran through the crowd and over to Tsireya who ran into her arms as tears ran down her cheeks.
"It's okay, I'm here." Za'nara comforted her.
"This war has come to us!" Toniwari screamed. "We all knew about this hunting of the Tulkun people but it was over the horizon, far away. Now it is here!"
The clan roared.
Jake and Neteyam began trying their best to calm the Metkayina down.
"You need to understand how the sky people think!" Jake attempted to explain. "They don't care about the great balance!"
"Listen to him! Listen to my father!" Neteyam tried to settle them.
"The sky people are not going to stop, this is only the beginning!" Jake explained to the clan. "You've gotta tell your Tulkun to leave! You've gotta tell 'em to go far away!"
"Leave?" Ronal replied, furiously. "You live among us, yet you learn nothing!"
"We will fight to protect our brothers and sisters!" A member from the clan yelled.
The clan were very riled up and angry. They were ready to go to war.
"If you attack, if you fight, then they will destroy you!" Jake screamed above them all. "They will destroy everything you love."
