"WAKE UP!" axkä yelled

"axkä!" aiä his his arm

he rolls his eyes he mumbles a small "..whatever.."

" we hope you all were able to sleep well, we werent able to introduce ourselves but um my name is äkrawutru that is my younger twin brother axkä and my sister aiä, we are children of olekytan and tashik."

äkra says, he has always been the nicer one of the three

" It is nice to meet you all. I am jake sully this is my mate neytiri, my son loak, daughter kiri and tuk."

as jake was introducing his kids aiä's eyes wondered of to the boy who is named loak

aiä and loak made eye contact and loaks eyes widended a bit after a few seconds aiä was pulled out of the trance and she cleared her throat looking away from him

" we will take you all with our mother and father so you can all meet them and learn some things, follow us."
äkrawutru says and is the first to step out of the home

following behind him are his two siblings and the family

axkä begins to sign to aiä

" why do we have to do this, äkra could've done this himself,"

" yes I know he couldve, but don't forget we are required to help them since you know.."
aiä says a bit frustrated as well

axkä scoffs

" so what? we have never bought anyone back to life who has been dead for who knows how long!"

aiä just shakes her head, ignoring him

yeah, they have never been able to do that, but they have been able to save many lives even if they have been dead for 2 minutes or more but never weeks or months

something that none of the siblings ever talked about were the dangers and guilt of being able to feel eywa, was that she would warn them about something and they would have horrible nightmares and trances that would physically and mentally hurt them

sometimes helping others increased that pain

but none of them ever told their parents, fearing that they would find them weak

as they came closer and closer to aiä's home

aiä began to feel stared on her, she turned around and made eye contact again with the loak boy , whose eyes widened again, and he looked down to his feat, feeling embarrassed of being caught staring at her

truth is loak felt attracted to her

even though he knew it was wrong back with the metkayina, he had developed a crush on the olekytans daughter, tsierya

and he didn't want to find aiä pretty

they were about the same height, almost her being shorter

she had a bit more muscular arms and legs than him, though

what he could tell as they walked past more cave navı is that she was shorter than most and had brighter specks of white and larger eyes than anyone else in the clan

her hair was long and straight a few braids in her hair, unlike the metkayina where basically everyones hair was curly

loaks mind was telling him

"we are only here for a short time, and I already have feelings for someone else!"

but he just couldn't help it or understand why?

" we are here!"
axkä says with a sarcastic smile after being scolded by äkra

this interrupts loaks thoughts

they enter the large home, and the sully family stands there a bit awkardly

" mighty toruk makto, why do you come to us?"
yuzey asks

jake does oel ngati kameie to yuzey and sazari, as well as the rest of the family does

" we seek for help, our eldest son has passed, and we were told that your clan could help us."
jake says desperately

" it is not us nor our clan that can help you but eywa and our children."
sazari, the mother of the three, says proudly and firmly

"our two sons and daughter have the gift to feel eywa to hear her, they are the ones to help the most."

" is there any way you could try to help us, please."
jake says now facing the three

"...we can try, but it isn't something that happens in one night."
aiä says

" yes of course we understand that, we appreciate all the help we can get!"
jake says, nodding his head

" whenever you guys are ready to start."

I changed their heights

so now aiä is 7'4, and since I didn't want her brothers to be like 2 feet taller than her, I changed them to 8'6

so now loak is 7'9

but yes aiä is considered kinda short since the cave navi height are from like 8' to 10'
