Neytiri is my mother. Jakesully is my father. The only child of this mating, I am loved very much by both of my parents. My name, is Shay'tilah. By the measurements of my father, who still speaks differently then the rest of the People, says that I am seventeen years of age.

Even now he sometimes uses such odd phrases and words that earn him strange looks. He tells me that soon, when I am old enough to understand, he will tell me why we are different. I inherited his odd hands, with their too many fingers, and broader nose; but I have a thick weave of hair that hangs to the middle of my tail, unusual, I know.

I am the only one of my tribe like this, a weird half-breed, Tae'lik calls me. I do not understand. So now, I will approach my father and ask him, and finally he will tell me about this strangeness that persists. 

I pulled in a deep breath and opened my eyes. The netting of my nest bed holds drops of dew, and I smile, taking this as a good sign, that things would be better than they had been for the past moons.

Little did I know how wrong I was, or what was coming.
