Neteyam:

"What" I pause and stare at him "What do you want, Aonung." He looks deep into my eyes. Hesitating to speak, " Can you sit down, please?" "I really don't have time for this," I complain, he looks at me with a pleading look. "Fine but only a few minutes, so what is it?" He sits down making a motion for me to sit next to him.

He looked at me shy to speak, "Aonung spit it out already." I am annoyed. I want to get out of here. " I just want to know if you're okay." Now I'm pissed off. " No Aonung, I'm not okay." I get up and walk away. I get to the hut and get to my "room" laying down on a hammock trying not to start crying again.

I started wondering why we had to leave home. Father always taught us to be warriors and to be heroic. We're not being very heroic by leaving our people; we should be fighting our battles not leaving other na'vi to fight them for us or die trying. I'm getting a little tired. I've had a long day. I'm just gonna rest my eyes.

Aonung:

Oh god I didn't mean to make him angry. I just wanted to see if he was okay. I guess I got my answer though I wonder what's wrong. Is my home really that bad? Is he really that great that he hates it here? Well he's the only one in his family I happen to like. His mother is scary, his father is Toruk Makto that's all I know, his younger brother and oldest sister are freaks, and the child I don't know anything about.

I should just walk to my hut. He's not important. I have duties that I didn't complete. My mother and father are going to scold me. I get to the hut. No one's here, hmm I'll see them later, since I don't have to worry about getting scolded yet maybe I should take a nap.

Neteyams dream:

I get out of bed. I don't know where I am. I go to sleep in a hammock and wake up under water. I can't hold my breath for that long, how did I get down here? I try to swim up but I can't, I'm going to die here. I try to swim to the right and left but I can't. But I can swim down, down only so I do and I stop when I see someone. They are light blue, not my family. Their hair is half bun half down.

Aonungs dream:

I open my eyes suddenly and I get the sense that I'm under water that doesn't feel like other dreams I've had. It's more euphoric. I'm deep and I can't see the top from down here. I don't recognize it either. I wonder where I am and how my dream led me here. I turn my body trying to figure out how my body conjured these details.

A school of fish of many different colors swimming, seaweed but not green or pink its purple, the water isn't clear its pink. Nothing that I've ever seen or imagined. I turn around and then I see someone. Him. Neteyam, how is he here, why is here? I swim towards him, him the same we stare deep into eachothers eyes. But then his eyes turn red with a bullet in his chest.

Neteyam:

"AHHHHHH!!!!" What the hell was that? I rush up looking around still no one is here. Maybe I should go for a walk and calm down. I walk outside. What was that about why would Aonung be in my dream? Why was he looking at me with such love and then hurt? Why?

Aonung:

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" What the fuck. Why would Eywa show me this? Does this mean what I think it does? Does it mean the sky people will come here to finish the war they started? Killing Neteyam and someone of my family along with him. Why did they have to come here of all places? I get up. I'm gonna go for a swim to clear my head.

Neteyam:

YOU'VE. GOT. TO. BE. KIDINING. ME. I just wanted to go for a walk and I ran into the one person I don't want to see right now. "Hi Aonung." He looks at me. Scared? "Hi neteyam, how are you? What are you doing?" I close my eyes for a second and a straight up lie is going to come out of my mouth. " I'm great , I'm just going for a walk."

Aonung:

I think he's lying to me. He looks sad and freaked out. " Are you sure?" "Yes, now leave me alone. Got it." Um wow that kinda hurt. " Okay. Sorry for bothering you." I get up and walk away. I forgot why I came out here but I know this isn't what I meant by taking a swim to clear my mind.

Being underwater most definitely isn't helping. It reminds me of the the "dream" the horrific dream. Neteyam with that bullet in his chest was the scariest thing I've ever seen. But the scene around us is beautiful. Maybe I should try finding it. It must be very deep. I've swam far but I could always see the light. But this. This was dark but the features. I know it exists, it has to. And I know I've seen it. I don't know when, or how. But I did. My mind wouldn't just make something. Like that up. My usual dreams are usually of being a good olo' eyktan. Or building the island to be better. Not something like this.

Neteyam:

I feel bad for making him walk away. But I don't want to talk about it. Maybe instead of a walk I should try and practice holding my breath. I want to go and see the place that was in my dream. I know I went really deep, and I can't hold my breath for as long as I did. Not in real life but maybe when I go to bed I can go back, in my dreams.
