Wayfaring Stranger
Eywa,Mother Pandoran stirred in her restless vigil as the strange ones, that had fallen from her skies, continuously compelled their odd beasts of burden to bite into her flesh. Oh how they trampled her skin with their numerous steps as they stomped about,without any kindness unto her,whenever,wherever they wished.
Unlike her Na'vi, her more gentle children, they ignored her advice,her growing anger and to her pirvate shame, her screams of pain. Often, they simply slaughtered her other children of air,water and land, without just cause or apparent desire for nourishment, only to leave behind untold numbers of corpses to decayed wherever they happen to fall. It seem that, the sky creatures were blind,deaf and dumb to her very existence.
Until one day, an small pack of the odd sky creatures similar in shape and scent to her Na'vi roamed deep into her forest by air. Pique as too what they were doing so far outside their dens,Eywa kept watch as the Na'vi like begins dismounted from their flying beast. She hissed to it as she did so,irritated that it's claws clutched far to tightly too one of her tree roots. It, of course paid her no mind, nor did the damn thing loosen it's grip. Fustrated, she gave up after an few minutes, instead turning her full attention to the dismounted riders.
Two of them she noted,one an elder female,one an younger male knelt on her flesh picking at her soil with rough touches as the third one,another male wandered off apart from the rest. Eywa dismissed the other two, flitting her attention to the lone Male's body language. He carried with him an oddly blacken spear in which the Na'vi like male poised at the ready. She studied his constant jumping movements at harmless woodland noises, while he scanned his surroundings as if he expected to be attack at any moment. She judge him to be as green as an Nan-tang pup in hunting but he did move very well, stepping on her with more kindness and silence then his brethren.
Was he hunting meat? she wondered torn between out right disapproval and some amusement at the Male's antics. For surely an responsible senior pack-mate should be paiding better mind to him,not to mention guiding him in his first hunter's stalk. But the older female fail to notice as he ranged further away from his pack-mates into an thicket of her Loreyu spirals. Eywa chucked at his foolishness as he startle her orangery leaf petals to revert back inside her, thus revealing his position to one her hammerhead Angsik bulls that was foraging unseen to him nearby. Eywa sighed bitterly, was that not the mistake of an reckless child?
It was just as well, She decided, when the hammerhead bull began to charge. If he survived, then he would have learn an valuable lesson from this and watched more closely through eyes of her Prolemurises chattering at the unfolding drama in the meadow below them as they hopped in excitement in her tree branches above the Na'vi like Male's pack-mates as the sighting of her Angsik caught their attention . Eywa sneered at the older female obvious panic, deciding then to remove the older females influence before she got him killed. Eywa still unable to make much sense of her low growls and piercing howls that made many of her tree dwellers twitch in pain from their shrillness, out of the verbal exchange she deem nothing useful until to her amazement and good fortune arrived. For instead of throwing his spear,even though he held it still aloft, the foolish pup stood still allowing the bull to calm itself. It was that then that both Angsik along with Eywa scented the breeze blowing passed the spear holder, realizing an larger and deadlier intruder approached from beyond him. Then did Angsik retreat, wisely ignoring the gloating barks of the Na'vi like spear holder.
The fool, thinking himself safe, was, so caught up in his barking at Ansik's backside, did not at first hear her cry of warning about the approachment of Palulukan cat from behind. Half mad with fear then did Eywa scream one of the growls sounds that his pack-mates kept repeating at him directly into the Male's ear, in obvious annoyance he twisted about to be still at the sight of her Palulukan. 'RUN JAKE!' She roared when hesitated in the hunter's path. Resign to his death for Palulukan had no qualms about killing such easy game if he lingered much longer. After an another warning howl from the older female and other of Eywa own did finally move. Palulukan chased the male through the Eywa's feathery ferns, confident that the prey could not get away' for none were quicker on Eywa's land then mighty Palulukan. The male ran in ground eating dog trot,the underbrush just an blur of green as he whizzed passed. Only, until he reached the tall ledge of her body,located high above her falls of the river below.
He paused, wasting perciouse seconds looking too and fro. Eywa howled again, nearly drown out by Palulukan trimuprent roar; "JUMP YOU FOOL!" Making an quick curse did he obey her command just as Palulukan reach her cliff and dived into the water's below. The Goddess snorted, instantly deepening the waters of the river in which the Na'vi like male promptly fell into. What an idiot,she snarled displeased at his hesitation in simple obedience that nearly cost him his life. Wait, Eywa recalling the moment she bide the lone male to leap off her body's ledge. Did he not hear and obey her? But were not all the odd sky creatures deaf to Eywa, did she not learn this herself after countless times of failed communication? Eywa unsure of if luck compelled the Na'vi like Male's obedience to her demands or if the sound of her own voice engage action, impatiently waited until the Na'vi like male submerged himself from her river. Kneeling on her river's brim the pup like Na'vi gasped for breath seemingly content for the moment to be still as he adsorbed the fact that he still lived and how close he came to death was startle from his paralysis from the enraged roar of Palulukan echoing into the ravine. He scramble up from his knees and ran into the back into the forest not thinking about why he heard an voice telling him to go in the Natives local tongue but obeying all the same. Eywa's of relief came out an joyous rush making the rainforest trees dance in victory, finally she was heard by the odd sky creatures or at least just this one.
