Faith Be In Him - Chapter 1

Neyteri's POV

11 years ago I would have said that it was all just a coincidence that Jake Sully was brought to our tribe and ended up helping us defeat the sky people. Now I would say, it was the destiny and I think Ewya would agree. I'm getting ahead of myself though; I will tell you the story, beginning to end.

I had everything the chief's daughter could ask for. I had a great life as a little kid, I didn't have any family but all the people on Pandora were family to me. My parents taught me everything that I know. Without them I would not take such a big leap of faith in believing in the spirits and Ewya. By the time I was 7 I was very spiritual but also clueless to the wars going on around me. It was not until one cold day that I realized that Pandora was being attacked. That very day I will always remember because it is the day that my mother died and that I met Jake Sully. I was playing with my friend Maewekee when I heard a big boom somewhere. I turned my head to see fire all around people. My friend and I began running to tell people but they had already known. I was scared, scared that I might get hurt, and that others might get hurt as well. We kept running but I stopped dead in tracks when I saw my mother on the floor coughing up blood. I ran to her side, tears falling down my big golden eyes in the process. My friend was there, patting me on the shoulder. It seemed as if the world had stopped when I looked around. The sky people did this and from this day on I hated them. My Father ran up to me and my mother.

"Sempul!" I shout, crying in his arms. He leads me away as me, my father and my friend run away from the fire being shot at us. I could say that it was the darkest day of my life, because at that time it was, but what I didn't know was that things were going to get worse.

We were all sitting down meditating in Ewya. This place helped me through everything, but for once I doubted if it would help me get over my mom's death and my hatred toward the sky people.

"We found this man; he is one of the sky people but doesn't appear to be one. Today we will decide if he will live or die." A man from the tribe shouted.

"Who chooses death!" Someone else shouts.

Everyone began clapping their hands and shouting because they were all for killing them. I didn't blame them; he helped hurt my mom in a way. I heard him begging and talking about a way he could fix it. It wasn't until I saw the most spiritual creatures hook on to his arms and legs. He tried swatting the away but it was no use, they were drawn to him. I was the first to say something.

"Kehe!" I shouted. They all turned and stared at me.
