Yawne~Neteyam

|•Chapter 4•|

A horn blew as we entered the Metkayina terriotory, we were coming up on a village. Jake said the village was called Awa'atlu. The sea clans are a world unto themselves. Thousands of islands of unknown territory which we could just vanish without a trace. Forever. Tsìlpey had one hands on the reins of her Ikran while the other one was holding a shawl over her shoulders, Kiri had one just like it she was wearing. Ley'taw gave out a happy squawk as she was ready to be done flying this long jounney. Tsìlpey gave out a yip along with Neytiri and Jake.

We landed on the beach as Metkayina villagers started approaching holding weapons of their own like spears or knifes. Young children hiding behind their parents or holding their hand. Tsìlpey got off of Ley'taw as she put her shawl away as it was warm. She grabbed her knife as she went in front of Ley'taw to give some well deserved pats on the head and food. "On me." She could hear Jake say. She turned and started to follow Jake immatating what he was doing as he held out his arms as a sign of we come in peace so the Metkayina wouldnt attack.

Whispers came from the gathering crowd of Metkayina. "Be nice." Jake mumbled as Tsìlpey's tail whipped around. "Easy. Just be cool." The crowd parted as two boys emerged and started circling us while smirking, they sort of looked like the Sullies but they had light blue skin, fin instead of tails, and their arms were thicker. probably to help them swim in the water.

Lo'ak looked to his right as he was watching something. One of the boys smirked as he pointed to our tails. "Look. What is that? Is that supposed to be a tail?" They laughed. "Its too small. How are they supposed to swim?"

Then a girl slapped one of the boys hand, giving him a look. "do not. Rotxo. Ao'nung." The Metkayina girl turned to look at us and smiled.

"Hey." Lo'ak said as Tsìlpey looked at him giving him a look as the Metkayina girl just laughed as she stood by the two boys making fun of it. There was a shout as something snarled, we looked up as an animal flew over us as we ducked out of the way. There was 3 of them. They landed on a body of water as one of them grunted. They got off the animals and started to approach.

Tonowari was the cheif of the Metkayina people. Reef people. "Oel Ngati Kameie ma Tonowari." Jake said in Na'vi.

"Jake Sully." The man, Tonowari said back.  It wasn't Tonowari Jake was worried about. A women emerged from the crowd. The Tsahik, she stood by Tonowari as she looked at all of us.

"I see you Ronal. Tsahik of the Metkayina." Jake said. Neytiri said the same thing as Jake said doing the gesture.

"Why do you come to us Jake Sully?" Tonowari asked. I looked at him and stuided him. He was very tall and had tattoos. He stood tall and proud. as a leader should do. Ronal was the same way but she had a seashell on her forehead and she was pregnant. She had one hand over her stomach.

"We seek uturu." jake said loudly as the crowd started to whisper among them.

"Uturu?" Ronal asked in a slight disbelief.

"Yes, sanctuary for my family." Jake nodded. The Sully family was started to become resless as they were trying to find a new village. They have been to many but they all turned them off. People were starting to get cranky.

"We are reef People." Tonowari started to say. "You are forest people. Your skills will mean nothing here."

'Well we will learn your ways, am I right?" Jake asked as he looked at his family.

"Yes." Neytiri said. Ronal started to circle them as she studied us. She grabbed Tuk's arm as she held it up to study it.

"their arms are thin." Ronal said as she walked over to Kiri as she grabbed her tail and yanked it a little as Kiri yelped in suprised. "their tail are weak." Tsìlpey gave a death stare at Ronal. "you will be slow in the water." She walked towards Lo'ak and Neteyam as she grabbed Lo'ak's hand to look at it and then brought it up in the air. "These children are not even true Na'vi!" Lo'ak lowed his head in shame.
