Introdruction: Alright, so after seeing the Movie "Avatar" I'm totally addicted, it was utterly stunning cynamatically, and had an astonishingly well thought out plot complete with alien species, new language, and futeristic technoligy, along with a totally new planet! If you haven't seen the movie this story may be a little difficult for you to understand, but i hope it's enjoyable for all.
Preperation.
It had been many years since human kind was expelled from the planet of Pandora, and many more years since contact was made with those who remained. Nearly seventeen years ago a team of scientist and millitary dogs were sent to an unexplored planet named Pandora. It seemed unihabitated at first glance, but further inspection showed that observation to be untrue, in fact there was an entire population inhabiting the wooded areas.
The Na'vi people, they were Much taller than humans, with skin blue like the ocean, eyes that glowed an amber green, there bodies were shaped thinner than ours by nature, they were able to tame wild, alienistic beasts, they were a fascinating people, and now, after four years of fighting with my father, i've finally been given permission by him to come and see the planet for myself, for scientific exploration. My curiousity gets the better of my far to often. I am a young scientist, in fact, far younger than most. My passion is alien and foreign science, i want to know what goes on on other planets, what their culture is like, how they act, what they eat, what kinds of plants grow, how many species of animals there are. I want to know it all, and i'm most intrigued by the tall blue humanoids living on Pandora.
It was the morning before i was to depart on a private space shuttle, provided by the millitary after threats made by the Na'vi, who were apprently as thrilled to meet me as i was them, or so my father spoke. He was one of very few humans allowed to stay on the planet, along with a man who...somehow is now a Na'vi, i don't understand how this came to be, but he is a major target for my research, and myself, also being a Linguist fluient in too many languages to count, am simply dying to learn there language.
My Name is Kioni Spellman, daughter of Norm Spellman, my father didn't know of my existance until i was around nine years old, he had been on Pandora since before i was born, my mother was barely a month pregnant. When she finally managed to contact him, he was...more than thrilled. He had aways wanted children, though she could tell it pained him deeply that he couldn't see me. One of the reasons i pressed so hard as i got older to come see him, even at my young Age, i'm more intelligent and wiser than many adults. I've already gone through Avatar training, and logged more practice hours than my father ever did. He has no reason to turn me down now. He is still in touch with his close friend Jake Sully, or at least that's how things sound, he talks of the Navi people quite often when we are able to communicate.
I've spent all morning doing nothing but finish packing, shove my stuff in the car, hug my mother and cry with her, and think about my father and all of the discoveries i can make while i'm there. It doesn't seem like something i should be so excited about, but when it comes to science, theres nothing more exciting than the thrill of making a discovery of your own.
~Hours later~
I'd spent the rest of the day, doing what i started the day doing, thinking, packing, shoving, and crying. Me and my mom finished loading up the car and walked back into the house, sitting down for a traditional dinner of spagetti-o's and microwave hotdogs. I loved my mom, but she could NOT cook. I, at seventeen, can cook better than she. But it doesn't seem to bother me anymore. The thought of simply going on an out of this world scientific exploration makes me want to scream like a little girl. I couldn't believe that i was given the chance, the golden opportunity, all thanks to the father i'd never met, and now not only will i be travelling to Pandora, i'll be meeting the father i'd always wanted...and needed.
It didn't take long to clean up dinner, we wiped the table down with a damp rag, mom rinsed and loaded the dishes into the dishwasher, and i want to change into my pajama's and make sure i'd forgotten nothing.
As i bounced around my dreary bedroom i could hear my mother coming up the stairs, i smiled as i thought that it would be the last time i would ever hear that sound before going to bed. I sighed, looking around my bedroom, there wasn't much to it, the walls were solid white, the floor was wood, most of my room was themed in pale blue. I had a picture of my father and mother on my bedside table, i walked to my bedside table, picking up the picture and smiling at it. "i love you mommy." I whispered, holding the picture to my chest, i knew i would regret leaving my mother behind, but i also knew that if i didn't take this chance i would regret it for the rest of my life. "I love you too Ki." She said in a faint voice, her words shaking. "Oh baby girl i'm going to miss you so much!" She cried, the tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down her cheeks like they couldn't be stopped.
"Oh Maman, please don't cry. I...I'm gonna miss you too Ma." I said, my voice wavering as i stepped forward and wrapped my arms around my tall, slender mother. Both of my parents were built that way, tall and slender, yet i was short. I didn't understand it, but didn't linger on the thought long. "Ma, we gotta go to sleep, we're getting up early tomorrow remember?" I reminded, hugging my mother tight to me. "goodnight mama." I said, feeling as thought that would be the last time i would tell her that in person. "goodnight Kioni." She whispered, letting me go and walking out of my room, once she was was down the hallway and in her own bedroom i let myself go. Falling to my knees in the floor, i was going to miss her so much, she was the woman that raised me all by herself, taught me everything i knew, made me who i am. But...i couldn't give up this chance.
After crying a good fourty minutes i crawled up into my bed and passed out. My dreams were filled with beautiful Blue people.
