The sounds of drums filled the cove of ancestors as the metikyina villagers all placed their hands onto each others shoulders making a spider web like circle. Their bodies swayed back and forth, then into a circle. Elei sat on her knees with her arms up towards the sky, Ronals strong voice said some prayers that the clan would repeat.
"Nawm sa'nok piak her menari!" Ronal shouted while raising her shaky fingers into the air. "Great mother open her eyes!" The people repeated while swaying their bodies. Eleis eyes rolled back as her body shook, "Fyawìtxu her nefma your nari ulte kame zun po lu pxan!" Ronal screamed as she placed her shaky fingers over Eleis eyes.
"Guide her into your eye and show us she is worthy!" The people shouted in sync. Aonung sat beside his mate with a concerned look on his face, "eywa oh eywa oh eywa" Ronal muttered under her breath before removing her hands from the forest girls eyes. When Ronal backed away Eleis body went limp, aonung looked up at his mother as she held her hand up and shouted "Frapo lu fnu!"
The crowd quieted down, everyone began looking at Elei waiting to see what was going to happen next.
Jake and neytiri stood there in shock while they watched the bioluminescent dots on their daughters body flicker, Jake leapt up onto the huge rock Ronal was on "what's going on with my daughter is she alright?" He questioned, his entire world came crashing down when he seen how lifeless Eleis body looked.
Ronal wrapped her shawl around her body as she stared down at the girl, "she is in the eye of eywa getting tested to see if she is pure enough to be the next tsahik" she explained. Ronal crouched down beside Eleis limp body studying her face, "what happens if she's not pure enough?" Jake blurted out.
Ronal looked up at him with sympathy filled eyes,
"She must pass through the eye of eywa and return, if she is not pure enough then her soul with live on with the great mother while her body stays amongst the people" Ronals eyes snapped over towards her son who looked terrified. "Wake her up, please I can't lose another child" Jake begged, he fought against the tears that wanted to escape his yellow dim orbs.
Ronals closed her eyes and shook her head before reopening them, "this is the metkyina way"
