Third person POV ,
Location: site 26

Jake woke up once again in his pod, his beard had grown since they had been there and he had grown thinner,
("everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world and in here is the dream" Jake spoke to his log entry,)

He pulled himself out of his pod, dragging his legs into his chair before wheeling through the site
("It's hard to believe it's only been three months, I can barely remember my old life, I don't know who I am anymore" he spoke, tiredly rubbing his face before sniffling, turning off the log entry)

He sighed moving to one side, staring into a mirror before Grace came out of nowhere, the whole site was eerily quiet, like no one dared to speak, grace handed him some shaving cream and a razor, standing behind him in case he accidentally nicks himself, Jake quickly shaved, knowing he has to go back to the main base for recon

Location: main base (?)

Jake leaned his arms against one of the cold metal tables, seeming lost in thought as Colonel Miles Quaritch walked up, his boots loud against the ground "haven't gotten lost in the woods, have you?" He asked picking up a chair off a table, placing it on the ground to sit in next of Jake, who shook his head at the colonel's question "your last report was more than two weeks ago" he sighed sitting on the chair backwards, placing his hands on the back of the chair

"I'm starting to doubt your resolve.. the way I see it, it's time to terminate the mission" he sighed shaking his head "no. I can do this" "you already have. You give me good, usable intel, oh this tree of souls place, yeah I got them by the balls with that, when this turns into a shit fight, which it will. Yeah, even if this resource doesn't work out, now we know there's another one not too far away, yeah we got some scans on that alchiva or whatever caves. It's a whole gold mine down there" He chuckled shaking his head

"now it's time to come in.. oh and by the way.. you gonna get your legs back" he smirked seeing Jake's face lighting up "yeah, I got your corporate approval, it's a done deal, gonna have you on a shuttle tonight, I'm a man of my word"  he smirked, Jake smiled before looking down, thinking about Neytiri, and Ovikia, and all the other Na'Vi that would get murdered without his help "I gotta finish this" he nodded taking a deep breath "there's one more thing. A Ceremony, it's the final stage of becoming a man. If I do it, I'm one of them, and they'll trust me. And I can negotiate the terms of their relocation" he explained, trying to sound reasonable, the colonel sighed standing up, not uttering a word as he moved the chair out of the way, walking slightly before stopping to look back at Jake "well then, you'd better get it done, Corporal" he uttered, his face cold as he walked away, leaving Jake with his racing thoughts

Location: Home Tree
Ovi's POV ?

Neytiri dipped her fingers back into the white paint, dragging them gently across Jake's skin, creating patterns and swirls for the ceremony, I sat quietly to the side, admiring the way the light flickered against the dark wooden walls ("The Na'vi say that every person is born twice, the second time is when you earn your place among the people, forever" Jake spoke to his video log)

Once Jake's paint was finished, we made our way out into the main room of the home tree, Jake leading us up, all Na'vi stood, even Grace was allowed to come witness the event, Jake moved to stand infront of Eytukan while I moved to stand by Grace, neither one of us were allowed to contribute to the ceremony, as we are both not apart of the clan, but we were more than thrilled to watch "you are now a son of the omaticaya .. you are part of the people" Eytukan spoke, placing his hands on Jake's shoulders, everyone in the clan copied his actions, touching the person infront of them who carried on like a chain untill everyone was connected to Jake, accepting him into the clan, I smiled leaning my head onto Grace, who was smiling ear to ear, like a proud mother,
