Note:Avatar has given me the inspriation to write again. I have never gotten this into any of my stories and I'm thinking this will be one of my best. I hope you enjoy.

The ship sailed through the vacuum of space slowly. They were very lucky that the "aliens" had visited them, but the "aliens" were definitely not lucky that they had. Those odd creatures had absolutely no idea what they were getting themselves into. Going up against creatures like them was not a very smart idea on their part.

"Father Itzal…" whispered the pilot as he came to an incredibly slow stop, "We have arrived…"

Nodding to both himself and his driver, he rocked a little girl in his arms. Her light brown skin contrasted against the golden yellow of his. She was fast asleep in his tight grip. The lighter brown triangles on her face wrinkled as her nose twitched. Her body started getting its functions back. It wouldn't be long before she woke up.

He looked outside of the opening on the ship through the glass of his mask. The atmosphere of Pandora was just below the vessel.

It was finally time.

As the golden skinned being held this little one outside of the transporter, his pilot gave into the urge of making sure he wanted to go through with his plan.

"Father Itzal… Please… Tell me that you are fully supportive of doing this… Especially to her… She is so young…"

"Dov… My son… Do not question me. She will go here and she will survive for if she does not, I will definitely not return for her." He swung her some in his grasp as he looked at the serene expression on her face. Her nose twitched yet again and his eyes narrowed some. "She will survive."

Dov gulped some as he leaned the ship toward the atmosphere to where the little one would be directly placed in it. He shouldn't have thought that his kind was so barbaric in their ways, but he couldn't stand the thought of such a young one being dropped off in this place all alone and by herself.

Yet there was no way he'd be able to stop Itzal. There was a reason he was the leader of their entire race. There was absolutely no way he could stop him

Pulling her back into his grasp, he pressed his lips to her forehead and he whispered to her as a pulsing went through both of their bodies, "You know our ways… Do what you must to survive…"

He held her out again as he bent down, putting her as close as he could to the atmosphere and he dropped her without any hesitation. Dov moved forward in his seat towards her, but no further than a few inches. There was nothing he could do now that she had entered into the deadly atmosphere, though nowhere near as deadly as their own.

And just as she did, she plunged to the jungle floor that would be below sooner or later.

The air around her filled her lungs quickly and her small frame immediately pulsed with life. Her lungs expanded frantically as she assessed her situation and, as fast as she could grabbed onto a nearby vine that started to pass by her. She was in the Hallelujah Mountains, but she didn't know that, not yet. It was just a scary, new place that she had never seen before. It was going to be her new home as of now.

Itzal stared at the planet as he watched this one delve into the misty clouds of Pandora and he smiled some to himself. He signaled Dov to take off and return back to their home planet, but he chose to leave with giving her orders that would hang in the air outside of this place forever…

"Sink or swim, my darling daughter. Sink. Or. Swim."

Pronunciation (just in case)-

Dov: Dove

Itzal: Eet-sall (Like salt with out the "t")

Author's Note: This is how I would like these names pronounced, even if it is not originally how they are. It's what I thought they were pronounced like and I like it.
