what if two years before the humans, a baby human girl is brought to pandora due to eywa wanting to give her a second chance at life? she breathes the air like na'vi, she can make Tsaheylu yet she does not have a queue. she is a special one indeed...
You know the fear you feel when your life is in danger. When your adrenaline is making your heart pump so hard you can hear it in your ears, and it feels like it's gonna jump right out your throat. Well imagine all that times ten. I say this as I'm jumping out of the way of the one of the biggest Ikran ive ever seen snaps at me after an ambush attack. This Ikran is as beautiful as she is deadly. With colors on her body blending perfectly. Her colors are black, blue, brown, white and she's mine. I move quickly and jump onto her back and as I do this, I can hear my family's cheers behind me as the Ikran wildly bucks around trying to get me off. She swings around wildly before she suddenly takes off over the edge of the cliff.
I hear nothing but the wind flowing by and the screeches of the Ikran who is now flying crazily down the cliff side. As we fly down slamming into rocks and floating cliffs i feel something smack me in the back of the head then wrap around the base of my skull and when that happens my vision turns black for a moment as a feminine voice starts speaking in my mind. "We have finally been reunited, my dearest friend." The voice says to me. "Who are you? What are you?" I scream into my mind. Oh eywa please let this Ikran fly smoothly. I pray and as if the great mother heard me the once crazy flight turns smooth. "I see you may have finally figured it out?" The voice is back again as it questions my and I do believe I have figured it out.
"You're the Ikran aren't you." I question her. "Yes." she answers. "And we were friends in another life, great friends sisters you could have called us. But that was in another lifetime, one that mother does not wish for you to remember, yet." She continues on. "What's your name then?" I ask her. "In our past life you once called me Spur dog, or just Spur for short. You may pick a different name though if you so desire." She explains. "No, I don't think I'll change it. I like the name Spur." I tell her, I could hear her chuckle within my mind. "So, anything else you can tell me about yourself Spur?" I ask her. "In due time my friend after all i think we need to get you back to your family." She tells me and it is in that moment that I realize that my family is most likely thinking I died. For the last they saw was of me going off the side of the cliff. "Yeah, we should get back up there." I say and as soon as I do Spur lets out a loud mighty cry and turns around heading back towards the nest.
Spur soon lands a bit above the Ikran nest and I get off. As I do, I go to gently remove her queue from the back of my head but stop for a short moment and turn to her. "You want to prank my family with me." I ask her. "Who doesn't love a good prank?" She answers me and I grinned mischievously in response. Soon I climbed down onto a ledge just above my family. From here I can see that my mother, grief and panic stricken, is frantically looking over the edge with my father as he tries to drag her away. As I continue to look I see Neytiri, Sylwanin and Tsu'tey are all trying to comfort each other as they cry. Man I feel bad for what I'm about to do but that's not gonna stop me. I than smear the juice of some red berries that I found all over my stomach and run some of it along my legs and arms. I then turn to look at Spur who to, has smeared the juices all along her jaw. "Are you ready?" I ask her. She nods and then carefully picks me up in her jaws. Being extremely cautious as to not hurt me with her teeth. Alright let's do this. I think to myself and then once again spur takes to the sky.
Spur dives down and soon reappears in front of my family. Me clenched in her jaws as I do my best to appear lifeless. The juices look really convincing as blood drips from both of us. Spur then drops my "lifeless corpse" in front of my parents as she hurries off to another ledge nearby. I hear them all give out cries of horror and soon I feel my mothers arms around me as she calls out. "Oh Eywa no! Please please do not take my youngest from me!" I soon feel myself being put back on the ground and a head being pressed against my chest. It soon lifts and I hear Tsu'tey call out. "I am going to kill that Ikran!" That is when I know the charade has to end. I then sit up screaming. Which in response causes everyone else to scream as I then start to uncontrollably laugh. "We got them good didn't we Spur." I call out as I bounded over towards her. She lets out a warble like laugh of her own as she nuzzles against me. I go to pet her in response when I am yanked from her and held suspended in the air. Face to face with my mom's tear stained face. "You are grounded. Never ever do that to us again." She exclaims as she then crushes me against her in a hug. Everyone else soon joins in and I bask in the moment. "Now let us go home and celebrate." I hear dad says and at that moment I couldn't agree more.
