Avatar: Nova Blanchard's Story

Chapter 18

The Omiyticaya Clan were all gathered by the fire in high spirits. We had all come back alive and mostly, in the others cases, unscathed. Neytiri's parents had stared at me in amazement when I had returned with what looked like the love child of a Great Leonopteryx and a normal Banshee.

It didnt help that Neytiri and the others did not hesitate to explain what had happen on the moutian. I knew word of my tale would spread like wildfire because of them.

Tsahik lips twitched when she caught my eye. I knew was she was thinking. This was yet another sign that I was the legendary Ey'lue. It was then I promised to make time to let her know her predictions were in fact correct.

I limped around the fire having gotten fresh bandages from Grace. She was pissed that I had gone and fucked up my leg, but I knew she was also relieved I had returned in one piece like promised.

I found myself looking upon the Large Skull head of what used to be an Actual Great Leonopteryx.

"Neytiri says this is Toruk Macto." Jake says from beside me also admiring the head.

I hummed. I had heard the stories of the The Last Shadow from Kai'to. An I knew what an honor it was to be chosen to ride along side him.

"Your ikran kinda looks like a mini version of him. What did you name the big guy anyway?

I snorted. "Blizzard, because he road in like a white unstoppable storm."

Jake laughed and shook his head. I shrugged and laughed with him.

"Snow and Blizzard... it definitely fits."

Someone cleared there throat behind me and I turned to see Kai'to.

I blushed slightly, but didnt hesitate to smile. He returned it before turning to Jake with a serious look.

"You did good today JakeSully." Jake grinned and patted Kai'to shoulder.

"Thanks, but we both know Snow here stole the show."

Kai'to smirked, but nodded his head in agreement. He stared intensely into my eyes."She was amazing today. Ive never seen anything like it. Anything like her..."

Jake raised an eyebrow at his words and my heart melted at his praise. It was Jakes turn to cough and tried to hide a smile. An failed horribly.

"I think Neytiri just called for me. Catch you guys later."

Jake quickly made his leave and I bit my bottom lip nervously.

The light of the fire illuminated his skin and made is golden feline eyes look as if they were smoldering. I stared lost in them for along moment. Finding it hard to tear my eyes from his sexy face.

Kai'to's lips twitched. "Glad you still find me Sexy beautiful."

I blushed and closed my eyes. I didn't realize I had voiced my thoughts on his looks yet again.

He chuckled and I avoided glancing at him. Embarrassed, I turned to look at the tribe. Everyone seemed to be eating happily with each other.

"I know we havent had much time together, but if you still want to talk. I will listen."

His deep voice brought me out of my thoughts.

My heart began racing. I was finally gonna tell him how I felt. Taking a breathe I turned my eyes to him.

"I do..still wish to speak with you... Privately." I added at the end.

He nodded and began directing me away from the tribe when a voice called out to him. I let out an annoyed sigh. It seemed no one wanted us to have this talk.
