        SEYLU WAS VERY GOOD AT hiding. Though she could not see very well, her ears picked up even the slightest sounds, allowing her to know when someone was coming. This was useful in war, especially in the one she found herself in the midst of at the moment.

       The young girl hid under the water, circling the large ship as she thought of ways to save her sister, Lo'ak and little Tuk. On her second pass around, she saw the three captured Na'vi tied up on the ship. Seylu knew she had to do something.

        And the perfect distraction to the captors was the Metkayina warriors, Jake and Neytiri among them, flying towards the ship. On the side of the ship where she couldn't be seen, Seylu emerged from the water, smiling when she saw her mother and father there to help.

        The warriors slowed to a stop, their tsuraks landing in the water. Seylu knew she couldn't free the children with all of the captors standing guard with weapons drawn, so she had to think of a new solution. As Jake spoke with one of the captors, Seylu heard the familiar song that could only come from one tulkun.

        "Malha, what are you doing here?" Seylu asked harshly as she turned and saw her Spirit Sister swimming around the boat.

        'I am here to help. Trust me. Call us when you need us.' Malha whined quietly, and before Seylu could question her further, the tulkun swam away.

        Seylu sighed, looking back up at the ship. Her eyesight was horrible, but she could clearly see a weapon drawn to Lo'ak's head, and she groaned, hearing her sister's worried shouts to the boy. Seylu slowly circled the ship again, looking for the easiest access point.

        When she found it, she grabbed her spears from Ouali's saddle, and hoped that Neteyam, wherever he was, could not feel how worried and frightened she was. Seylu called to Ouali, and the tsurak leapt from the water, dropping Seylu on the ship before landing in the sea again. "Seysey!" Tuk yelled happily when she saw her.

        All weapons turned to Seylu, and she snarled, using her spears to deflect shots at her. Her mother and father tried to go to her, but Jake stopped them, and then he spoke to one of the captors, stopping the shots from firing at her. "Sey." Tsireya whispered quietly, fearing for her sister's life.

        Mere seconds later, Seylu called loudly for Malha, hoping that she would come. The tulkun in question was swimming below the ship with Payakan, stirring up all kinds of mess to make it harder to shoot them. They were both angry, feeding off of their Spirit Siblings angered energy. As the weapons turned to her at the sounds of her calls, she smiled, and Malha and Payakan leapt onto the ship, roaring angrily.

        Malha and Payakan soared over Seylu as she stood beneath them, smiling as the tulkuns landed on the deck. She readied her spears again, throwing them at humans and Na'vis before they even expected it.

        "Payakan!" Tuk shouted, recognizing her brother's tulkun.

        Their captors turned all their weapons and power at the two large animals wreaking havoc on the deck, giving Seylu the chance to attempt to free the children. There was too much chaos, and there were too many people trying to kill Seylu for her to have her back turned. Everyone shot was aimed at Payakan and Malha, and Seylu assisted the tulkun in killing the enemies.

        She threw her spears and deflected shots away from her and the three tied up Na'vi children while the warriors flew into the air again, coming to help. "Seylu! Get us free!" Lo'ak yelled to the girl, watching her shove her spear into a human's body, ripping her weapon out and leaping to throw it at another human.

        "A little busy here, Lo'ak!" she shouted, ducking as Malha used her tail to throw heavy machinery away, almost getting hit by it. She threw a spear at a Na'vi-like man after hearing his gun cock towards her, rushing to Malha. "Work on your aim!" Seylu said to her tulkun, running onto her back to throw a human off of her.

        Malha bellowed as Seylu reached her tail, flipping the girl into the air, allowing her to throw her spear into two humans holding weapons at once. Seylu rolled out of the way of a missile headed for Payakan that he directed into the ship instead. As she fought, Seylu only felt one emotion. Need. She needed Neteyam's help to free their siblings, and she hoped he would understand and come to her.

        Payakan and Malha dove off the ship and into the water as the warriors came closer, leaving Seylu trying to defend herself, Tsireya, Tuk and Lo'ak. Now that she was alone with her three spears, more weapons were turned on her, and Seylu yelled angrily, tossing her knife to Lo'ak for him to use and proceeding to dive into the water to avoid being killed. She called for Ouali, grabbing hold of him beneath the surface with bloody spears in her hands.

        Seylu joined the warriors in fighting the people on the many ships, leaping from the water with her spear raised, headed for the same ship as her father, but from the opposite direction. At the same time, they each sank their spears into a human, shouting angrily as they landed in the water again.

        The chaos continued as Seylu realized that Lo'ak had not freed himself and the girls, and she groaned loudly. Shots were fired hers and Ouali's way, and Seylu pulled her mount up, the two of them twisting through the air as she threw a spear at a gunman with a loud war cry, landing in the water again.

        Payakan and Malha were swimming through the waters, throwing ships and people without care. Seylu watched the main ship fly through the air as she and Ouali leapt into the air, and in her distraction, she was shot in the back of her leg, groaning loudly. She growled in pain, diving back into the water towards the ship. Neteyam instantly felt her pain and frustration.

        She really needed Neteyam's help, and she really hoped she was coming. The ship slowed to a stop as Seylu swam around it, bleeding profusely. Neteyam was near, and he had felt Seylu's panic, and her pain. He was swimming for her, regretting that he waited a second too long to follow her when she left.
