"I wish I'd been there..." Kiri swooned at the idea. Lo'ak had just told the group about the tulkun that saved his life, Kiri seemed to LOVE the idea. Ao'nung scoffed.

"The Tulkun have not returned yet, and anyway no tulkun is ever alone." Ao'nung explained with a annoyed sigh.

"This one was. He had a missing fin. Like a stump on the left side" Lo'ak explained, trying to mimic the stump with his elbow. The four Metkayina children, Rotxo, Ao'nung, (Y/N) and Tsireya, gasped "Payakun. It's Payakun" Tsireya said weakly.

"Who Payakun?" Kiri asked. The Spirit Dancer shook her head, she hated how such a beautiful creature could be so... She couldn't find a word to describe. "A young bull went rogue. He's outcast, all alone. And he has a missing fin." Rotxo explained, (Y/N) nodded in confirmation.

"They say he's a killer." Tsireya says to Lo'ak. None of the group noticed the small glances between (Y/N) and Neteyam. 

"He's killed na'vi, and other tulkun. Not here but far to the south." Ao'nung cleared. 

"You don't understand, he's harmless. He saved me!" Lo'ak protested, trying to convince the others. He tried to tell them, but they ignored his claims. "You are lucky to be alive, Lo'ak." Tsireya said, grabbing his hands.

"I'm telling you guys he saved my life. He's my friend." Lo'ak said, pulling his hands away, which (Y/N) glared at him for disrespecting her dear sister.  Neteyam saw this and decided to speak up to stop (Y/N)'s Neytiri like glare.

"My baby bro, the mighty warrior who survived the killer tulkun and lived to tell about it." Neteyam stood up and grabbed his brother's shoulders. Lo'ak hissed and elbows his brother away. "You guys aren't listening!" Standing up, and walking away from the group, which his siblings and friends called out.

"No, Lo'ak! I'm listening!!" Tuk said with a whimper. Lo'ak scoffed and dived to an ilu, going back to Payakun.

The group (except Lo'ak) swam off on Ilu's to see their most prized place, The Spirit Tree.

(Y/N) was the clan's spirit dancer, she was blessed with the great magic of the Spirit Tree, giving her the beautiful and alluring ability to communicate with the earth and elements through the arts of entertainment and dance. She could simply hum a sweet tune and she could take control of the waters and sand below her aquamarine skinned feet.

Her mother was always so proud of her daughter for being the Spirit Dancer, Ronal never found interest in the entertainment arts, therefore she was never blessed with such a gift. But Ronal always was happy to show off and boast about her daughter's power.

Tsireya always found it amazing that her sister was a Spirit Dancer, she always made sure (Y/N) was in the right shape to dance, always making sure there was no cuts or bruises on her soft skin from her complicated dances. Tsireya always wanted to join her dances, (Y/N) always allowed her little sister to join her dancing and singing, they were like to two pretty sirens together. One was learning, while the other was showing the learner the magic of the sea and land...

Ilu's swam through the sea, (Y/N) and the others diving through the coral and barnacle covered rocks that sat in the clear, beautiful water. "We're here!" Tsireya called, she and her sister led the way into the cove of the ancestors.

"This is the cove of the ancestors, our most sacred place." (Y/N) explained, showing off the assortment of various land forms that held their tree of souls in the middle. "Eclipse is the best time to be here." She added with a smile and a wink.

Shading their eyes as they watch the sun hide behind the moon, the Sully children gasped. The tree emitted a glowing blue, illuminating all that surrounded it. A beautiful and magical sight to see, and they saw it with their own two wide eyes...

"This is it. This is our spirit tree." The jewelry covered Na'vi marveled at the sight, its been a few months since she last came here. It was still the same. The same old beauty. Hopping off their ilu, they swam to the tree. (Y/N) held out a branch and signed them to make a bond.

Kiri nodded and made her bond with her long braid. Tsireya watched Kiri and (Y/N) went off to find Neteyam. He was nearby, watching the bioluminescent leaf like branches sway in the currents.

(Y/N) snuck up from behind him, ready to spook him, but Neteyam heard her movements, even under the water. He turned around and saw her lil' smirk and playful eyes. 'Hello~' She signed under the water. 

Neteyam signed back a 'Hello, (Y/N).'  He smiled when he saw her smug little smirk. The teens played around in the water, before hearing a scream. The teens swam over as fast as they could. It was Kiri.

Her body began to convulse. The tree and the life around it flashing it's glowing colors in a negative reaction. Quickly, un-attaching her braid, they rush to her side, the braid loosens, making everything lose its glow besides the dots on her body which flash.

They eventually stop, and they help her up to the surface. "Come on!" Neteyam yells. "Kiri? Kiri!" Tuk shouts in concern for her sister. "What's wrong with her?!" (Y/N) asked, scared for her friend.

"It was a seizure." Neteyam responded, blowing air into her mouth and lungs trying to help her breath. "Is she breathing?" Rotxo asked worried for the girl. "Is she breathing?" He repeated, (Y/N) put her hand on Rotxo's shoulder to calm him down.

"Get her to the village! Hurry!" Tsireya yells, calling for their ilu. "Let's go!!"

After hearing the news about what happened, Jake quickly called in Norm. The samson dropped down, filled with medical supplies. "Neteyam keep them back!" Jake orders his son. Neteyam held the rest back from Kiri's body. "How is she?" Jake asks Norm.

"She's still unconscious." Norm states. In the Sully's marui, they take a scan of her brain, checking for anything wrong. "There's no bleed, there's no fracture, no effects of hypoxia, brain looks good." Max says.

Ronal and (Y/N) come into the hut, Ronal sees Kiri's state and scoffs. "It seems I am not needed." She turns to leave, but (Y/N) stops her. "Mama." She growled.

"You are tsahik! Help her!" Neytiri demands. Ronal looks at her daughter then back at Kiri. "Fine, then remove those."

Neytiri nods and yells at Norm and Max: "OUT! YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING!" With that same scowl Neteyam recognized from (Y/N)'s angered face. Removing all their medical gear, allowing Ronal to treat her. Dipping a bone needle into a mixture she and (Y/N) chanted. (Y/N) held Kiri's head in her lap, on top of her thighs, as Kiri was treated, singing the chants with a sweet, alluring melody. A habit of hers.

"She's always claimed that she could feel Eywa. She could hear her heart beat--" Jake explained to Norm, before being cut off. 

"That is classic frontal lob epilepsy." Norm explained outside of the hut, they could hear the sweet melody being sung by (Y/N) and her mother, Ronal. Blowing onto the girls back, then letting out a big exhale. The act was performed at different angles, until finally she opened her eyes. "Kiri, you're awake!" Tuk said in relief, Kiri looked up at (Y/N)'s, Neytiri's and Ronal's faces. She started to cry and wail.

Neytiri grabbed her daughter's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Oh Kiri,  my sweet child." Neytiri hugged the crying na'vi girl. Holding her close at she also began to cry. (Y/N) and Ronal got up from their places, they bowed to Neytiri and blessed Kiri with smiles. They walked out.

But Neteyam grabbed (Y/N)'s arm. "Thank you. (Y/N). And your mother. How can we repay you?" (Y/N) shook her head.

"No need, Neteyam. It's free." (Y/N) said as she slipped back to her mother's side.
