As soon as we unlinked, Tom and I went to Jake's link pod as they opened it up. Unfortunately, he was passed out and not responding and it would seem he was still connected to his avatar.

"Jake!"

Grace called waving a flashlight through his eyes but of course, he still remained unresponsive. I pushed Grace away and began pounding Jake by the chest.

"Wake Up You Bloody Son Of A Bitch! You Can't Die Like This!"

Tom and the others blinked until I gave Jake a very hard blow in the chest did he seem to respond and coughed. Blinking, his hazy eyes went to us, crowding around him.

"What's going on guys?"

He asked weakly and I growled "You did a stupid stunt by running off to play cat and mouse with a black kitty and an equally stupid stunt by not responding and scaring the shit out of us!" Jake blinked as he sat up. Grace immediately held him by the shoulder.

"Is the avatar safe?" Jake looked at her and grinned "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" We all raised our brows, wondering what Jake meant.

We were all stunned, well I wasn't that stunned, to know Jake was now living among the natives, The Omatikaya, He said they wanted to study him seeing that he was the first ever warrior dream walker they had encountered.

This caught the attention of a man named Miles Quaritch and Selfridge. When Jake was called for them, an unsettling feeling went through the pit of my stomach.

Tom, noticing the distress look on my face became worried "Is something wrong Emmy?" I shook my head "It's just that, remember the bullet holes and the stains littered on the school house, I don't trust the people around here anymore" Tom nodded in agreement.

"Norm thinks that too but without knowing what happened at the school house, we can't be too sure what really happened"

I nodded before my direction went to the door where Jake had gone through "I have a feeling they are discussing on what to do now after this situation" Tom's eyes darkened.

"An opportunity like this should never be wasted so they're pinning for our brother to move them out? Is that what your stating?"

"Just a theory though I can't be too sure. What we do know is that they will risk life and limb to get those rocks"

After a few hours of sleep, I woke up to find Trudy telling me to head to the link chambers. I saw Jake and Grace with Norm. Grace was swiping pictures of some of the blue Na'vi. They probably must be important.

I yawned and headed towards them. Tom appeared moments later. Jake didn't have time to wave or greet us since he was already preparing himself to the link pod.

Before he fully got in, Grace held up a picture of a beautiful female Na'vi "Neytiri" Jake said softly earning raised brows from me and Tom from his sudden change of tone.

"She'll be the next tsahik, they are to become a mated pair"

Tough luck brother, looks like that woman's taken already.

Jake nodded before asking "So whose this Eywa?" Norm looked at Jake in shock "Whose Eywa? Only their deity, their goddess made up of all living things. Everything they know" Norm answered waving his hands and speaking to Jake as if he was repeating a lesson to a completely idiotic student.

"You'd know this if you had any training whatsoever"

"Well, whose got a date with a chief's daughter?"
