she looks to her partner, and they give each other a nod

and get ready to attack

○

THEY SLOWLY step away from their hiding, still not wanting to be caught

when they are in front of where they will be walking into

they go and run into them with their weapons already ready to attack them

the family is startled by this, and they all huddle up together with the man and woman holding to their bow and arrow, but not already prepared

" What are you doing on our land!" aiä shouts in navı

" You all must leave!" 'eleyìng also shouts in navı, harshly

what seems to be the youngest kid, a little girl is in fear as well as her other siblings

the man puts his hands up, telling us to calm down

this gets aiä more riled up. You come on to their land and tell them!? to calm down??

" I am jake sully, this is my family..., we seek your help, please."

jake sully says in english

the two teens keep the same look on their face, not caring for what he wants

aiä steps closer to them

her build more visible since it's night time

her tall and muscular upper body with strong arms and legs

her dark blue green skin tone and bright purple/blue eyes

"..leave!" she shouts in english

"n-no, please, please listen, you have to -"

"Listen? to you? who do you think you are talking to?"
she says with anger and her accent when speaking english, being very harsh

" My husband was toruk makto, he led the clans to victory against the sky people!"
the woman shouts, getting closer to aiä "trying to intimate her

" we try to help you, clan does not care is you were or are toruk makto, you come here to disturb our peace!"
'eleyìng shouts

" he is right. If you want to get out here alive, you all need to leave now!"
she shouts

" No. no! no, no, no, you have to help us please, we know the amount of talent this clan holds. We need our son back!"
jake shouts

aiä looks at eleyìng, and back to the family with a glare

"...fine we will take you all, but listen closely to my rules. do not look or talk to anyone, and do not do the oel ngati kameie gesture until introduced properly, got it!"

they all nod and go to walk, following the two

the two begin to sign

'they are dumb! we can not bring them to the clan. They will be cruel!'
eleyìng signs to her

she sighs and says

' I know, but we have warned them it is their own will if they wish to continue!'

'what about your father? your mother!?'

aiä just shrugs her shoulders

the family behind them are looking as the boy and girl are signing to each other

loak, the boy tried to make out what they were saying but could only understand a little bit, which confused him because what other language would they be signing

a bird noise is heard, that's what the newcomers think

but it is a voice talking to them

"Any luck?"

aiä and eleyìng pause, their steps getting slower

eleyìng does a call back

" Newcomers will not take no for an answer!"

but it just seems like an animal noise to the other navı

they continue walking until they hear a loud roar come from their left side

they all spin their heads quickly to see the noise and see tetsäo running to them at a rapid speed

aiä goes and stands in front of him he begins talking to her about taika's in danger

aiä freezes

taika,in danger?

but how?

she tells him that she will tell the clan and pats his head gently,

" we must hurry!"
she shouts and walks faster to their clan

as they are walking loak begins to notice her

how she is the only one of the two wearing the color white, she has far more tattoos than him, and she has a lot of jewelry on

the boy walks behind her and not in front

another call is made telling everyone to head back

they are walking faster than before, almost there

they come to a stop where there is a large cliff they wait there for a while before they hear war shouts and loud roars

"aiä!" they hear people shouting

"yip!" The girl does, and the sully look at her, interested

another similar sound is heard, and then two very tall and muscular navı start walking towards them

they look at the family and scoff, signing to aiä

' should have left them in the forsest!" axkä says

they continue signing and loak and also notice that they are the only ones wearing white paint on their body as he sees the other ones with only red or black

the sully family are shocked as they see the navı in front of them

they are extremely tall and muscular, with different tones from them

then it gets quiet as a shout is heard

a man who is so extremely tall to the sully walks up to them, and the three teens standing by them go silent as well

as the man makes his way towards them, loak sees how people bow their heads and do the "I see you" gesture to him

"He has to be olekytan,"
loak whispers to his family

○

ok, so as mentioned in like the first chapter, I think, akxä and äkrawutru are mated, so technically, since they are adults, they can be olekytan

but how it works with the clan is when the olekytan passes, same thing for tsahik

their mates are not taught the tasks of tashik

tsakeram is though which that is aiä

if tashik were to pass away, then instead of one of the mates becoming tashik, it would aiä

also, so in the movie, how the metkayina can sign underwater and things like that

well, they can as well, but it is the old native tongue of navı that they sign, think like how in the triology of the planet of the apes movies where they sign regulary

and the bird calls and signals are also like a language to them that the entire clan is taught when growing up
