  Screaming, and gunshots. The only thing that could be heard. Fire was everywhere. Dead na'vi and forest creatures lay everywhere. Dead ikran's, viper wolves, palulukan, hexapedes, everywhere. Dead warriors and children. Na'vi's spine shrilling screams could be heard from all over. Dead Sky People everywhere as well.

Suddenly, Neteyam flung up out of his hammock. 'It was all a dream.' He thought, 'but it felt so real.' He decided to go for a walk to clear his mind. As he was walking, he looked toward the ocean and fell in love with the site. As he sat down, his brain went back to the dream he had. He was so in thought, that he didn't realize that he was crying. He also didn't hear that someone was walking towards him.

"What are you doing." Someone asked. That made Neteyam jump. Whoever it was must have noticed that because they quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Ao'nung. I'm the one that's supposed to help you with the way of water." While he said this, Neteyam didn't look up. He pulled his knees into his chest. It wasn't until he had picked his head up that Ao'nung noticed that he was crying. Once he noticed, his expression had softened, and he pulled Neteyam into a hug. Neteyam was a little surprised, but after about a second, he melted into the hug, starting to cry again. After he had calmed down, he was able to hear Ao'nung shushing him. Once he knew that he was relaxed enough, Ao'nung gently let go of him and turned his head.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked while wiping away Neteyam's tears.

"No." Neteyam said. The thing that surprised Ao'nung was that he replied in na'vi. Neteyam picked up on that and spoke,

"It's the language my mother gave to us. I use it as my appreciation. Besides, I have a heavy accent." He replied. Ao'nung only nodded.

"Ok. Are you sure you don't want to talk about it," He asked, "I'll be happy to listen." With that said, Neteyam started to tell him about his nightmares. How every time he gets them, they are always either about his family, the forest, or Sky People. While he was explaining, he pulled his knees into his chest more, crying once again. Once he was done, Ao'nung pulled him into yet another hug.

"I'm so sorry. That had to have been hard." He said. As Neteyam leaned his head on Ao'nung's chest, he started to feel his eyes getting heavy. After about another minute or so, Ao'nung could hear soft snores. As he looked down, he could see Neteyam asleep. He smiled to himself and picked  Neteyam up bridal style, and took him back to his  pod. He then left to go home. 'That guy sure is something'. Ao'nung thought. He then fell asleep, awaiting the day to come.
