'Your love is one with the water' says mo'at the grandmother of Jake and neytiris eldest daughter Elei Miula Ney'Sulli. As the sullys seek uturu amongst strangers in an ocean Navi clan, will she find the one her grandmother has told her about? Or wi...
the woman hopped off of the creature before helping me get down. the moment my feet hit the ground she roughly pushed me over to the man that was being an ass a few hours ago, "ouch! i thought you had a heart for once!" i hissed. The man that had a hold of me squeezed my arm "that is varang our olo'eykte you speak to" he growled in my ear before shoving me in front of him. i wrapped my arms around my body as i walked. my feet touched the warm ground with every step that i took.
This place was much different from the forest, or the island. There was no blue here, there was no color. i looked ahead at a large silent volcano, "uhh what's your name?" i asked the guy to try and make conversation. "pxor" he bluntly replied before shoving me again. "you walk slow" he sneered. i looked over my shoulder at him in disbelief "you're literally tall as hell dude so of course i'd be slow compared to you" i rolled my eyes before turning back around.
a few minutes of silence went by until we made it to the sleeping volcano i seen earlier. "make her look like us..her human smell is vexing me" varang ordered before walking away from us.
Pxor shoved me again but this time i was over it so i spun around before pulling out my knife and hissing, "push me like that again and i will end you!" i warned. but to my surprise it seemed like he didn't care. He walked up to me until his chest was pressed up against my knife. "this is better than being offered to one of those as a sacrifice" he pointed to a volcano that spewed fresh lava. i put my knife away and backed away from him "you're definitely not normal" i murmured.
Pxor shrugged before grabbing my upper arm and pulling me along with him. i looked up at the volcano that stood miles high. "a-are we like..i don't know. are we climbing that?" i questioned while looking at the man. pxor itched his head in a irritated manner before bending down and moving a large rock out of the way, "this is the way inside now go" he scoffed.
i hesitated but climbed into the hole, i crawled for a minute before finally climbing out. my mouth fell open when i seen how beautiful it was inside, there was an entire village in here, there were kids running around while playing, i seen a few men carving new weapons, the women looked like they were preparing food. The homes looked like maruis except they were chiseled into the inner walls of the sleeping volcano. there were humongous rock bridges ingrained with different types of crystals. they even had plants in here but nothing like the ones i've ever seen.
i was snapped out of my trance when i felt pxor pull me along with him. i seen a beautiful orange crystal that stood out so i bent down and touched it, when i did i noticed the bioluminescent spots on my body glowed the same color as the crystal. "what the actual fu-" i was cut off by pxor "enough!" he shouted. i flinched a little before continuing to follow him. we arrived at what seemed to be his home. he pulled back the dark red curtain before gently ushering me inside.
"this is so pretty" i gasped as i looked around at all the trinkets, weapons, and unique plants in his home. i then looked over at a wide slab of rock that had a few woven blankets and pillows on it. i assumed that was his bed. "put this on and i will do your body paint" he mumbled while tossing me some new clothes.
i looked down at the red feathered top that had woven leather attached to it, "you guys must really love these things huh?" i mumbled as i peered over at the red loin cloth ingrained in what seemed to be black crystals. "they heal and charge our bodies while also protecting us from any outside threats" pxor explained. i slid the clothes on quickly while asking "how does it protect from threats?"
i heard him sigh in annoyance, "the energy of balæl resides in them throwing off any signals once they enter a place near the volcanos"
i grabbed the small crystal while turning to face him, "who is this balæl anyways?" i questioned, i regretted it once i seen the crazy look in his eyes. his orange eyes widened as his pupils grew, "you will see soon" was the only thing he said before dipping both of his hands into a bowl of dark red paste. i almost forgot how to breath when he began applying the paint to my face, pxor "calm down i will not kill you" he paused for a second before adding "yet"
i felt a lump form in my throat from how terrifying he was up close. his skin wasn't as smooth as mine, it had a slight scaly texture. but i guess it was like that due to the environment the ash clan lived in. i watched as he dipped his hands into black powder before putting it on my eyelids, "what is this?" i whispered. the man cleared his throat as he wiped his hands onto his legs, "it is soot, the highest point of a flame. it is very sacred to us because we collect it at ceremonies only" he explained before tying my hair up and shoving me out of his home.

i rolled my eyes "oh eywa you're such a penis face" i sneered but was silenced by his large rough hand wrapping around my neck, "never say that name in here" he hissed while looking around. i felt my eyes widen from the look on his face, i opened my mouth to speak but a straining noise came out instead of words. pxors eyes shifted onto mine before he let me go, "i hate you" i choked out as i tried to catch my breath. "i hate you more demon" the man chuckled before grabbing my arm and dragging me to eywa knows where.
