It is a stunning midday in and around the beautiful floating mountains, at its center and around the Tree of Souls, clans are gathering. Little by little they all arrive, like they did six years back when they fought the Sky People. Some arrive by direhorse, others by Ikran, many on foot, Jake has called on them to meet, whoever can make it, all regional clans, those who know and trust Jake, this time the meeting is a peaceful one. An important astronomical event will take place within the next few days over Pandora, a solar eclipse. The Pandoran moon will hide behind the darkside of Polyphemus for numerous hours; it happens often, at least once every three years or so, it is no mystery to Jake, who with the help of Norm and Max, has been able to calculate the exact timed arrival of the phenomenon. Jake is hopeful that from his illustrative presentation he can make the Na'vi understand the circumstances behind an eclipse, and why there is really no reason to fear it.

The last time there was a Pandoran eclipse, panic and anxiety roamed around the moon, animals became terrified and overly aggressive, gruesome howling would reverberate across the forest. While it would seem like nightfall, the usual glowing forest became dark, since it appears to run on a biological clock that tells it not to glow during the day. Many Na'vi clan leaders caught off guard by the eclipse, and following in apparent tradition from previous eclipse experiences, would commit themselves and many of their clan members into performing irrational and superstitious acts. Animal sacrifices, among others, where just some of the measures taken in order to counteract, as they believed, the heavenly phenomena. They desperately alluded to almost cynical ways of trying to evade away "evil spirits" in hunt of their deity, Eywa.

During an eclipse, not even the Tree of Souls glows, this is a terrifying and unimaginable scenario for the Na'vi, who for a brief period of time, may have thought that Eywa had abandoned them. Some Na'vi may have even gone as far as killing themselves thinking their world was ending, others interpreted the event as an obvious sign that the Sky People were back, dominating and twisting the logic of the heavens as a show of force; Jake did his best to convince them otherwise. Chaos would overtake the clans, and an obvious unfortunate sense of doom. It may perhaps be considered universally synonymous, that for those living beings across the universe that do not truly comprehend the composition and mechanics of their surrounding heavens, must act in this way. Like the forefathers of Jake's generation did back on Earth as close as hundreds of years ago, and much before that; the Na'vi are no exception to the unfortunate misinterpretations of an eclipse; today however, Jake wants to change that. Today for once, Jake will try to wear his brother's hat.

The Omaticaya today welcome everyone that could come to what has been their home for the last six years, since the Sky People destroyed Hometree. The clan now resides in a series of clustered caves located near the Tree of Souls and the floating mountains. These are indeed unique caves, fabulous geological formations with inner water streams; many subdivide into smaller chambers where small families reside. An abundance of stalactites and stalagmites interact to create clusters and even natural stairways. Some areas of the caves have natural light wells that glow during the day. At night, the biological matter that dresses its walls brings in some of the Pandoran night glow, so they are well lid, a quite unique and safe environment that the Omaticaya now call home, free of Pandoran bats or snakes. The largest of the caves is almost the size of a modest auditorium, this is where today, everyone will gather.

As the clans continue to arrive, many with children, Neytiri is there to greet them, Mo'At is there as well, they smile in welcoming them. They are all instructed to proceed into the main auditorium cave where Jake awaits, where he will be on this day addressing all his fellow clan leaders and brothers. The cave is quickly filling up, as the Na'vi enter they observe an open center, almost like a stage on an ancient Greek amphitheatre, in it, they see a few round floating figures, they shine, they are made of a reflective foil like material, foreign to the Na'vi, they just float in mid air like the mountains themselves. One sphere is larger, the other much smaller, which has a small blue puppet resembling a Na'vi glued on to it, with a tail and pointy ears. Everyone is as curious as they are confused. Toruk Makto has called on them before, but never like this, for something special awaits them, so they wonder.

The neighboring clans, those who fought alongside the Omaticaya, have by now learned to trust Jake, not just for his seemingly god like ability in taming a wild beast like Toruk, or for his unquestionable bravery, but also, for his knowledge, and for where he comes from. The Na'vi are very well aware of the implications of their actions nearly six years back, when they, along with Jake, defeated the Sky People and drove them out of Pandora; they know however, that it is only a matter of time before the Sky People return, Jake does not need to warn them of this, though he has. It is an inevitable reality that the Sky People will return with full shear force; the Na'vi know that when the time comes, they will need Jake's leadership and guidance, they will need his help.

Out of the darkness of the nearby cave clusters Jake walks out, he now stands in front of the gathered audience, hundreds of them, children sit in front, there's silence, he's dressed for the occasion, as Eytukan, leader of the Omaticaya, he speaks -in Na'vi-: "My fellow clan brothers, all of the people, I have called on you this day, for something will happen in the sky, most of you have seen it before, but few of you understand why it happens….I understand, and I will tell you here and now that there is no reason to fear it, for you see, this is our home…." Jake points to the small floating sphere, Norm walks out from behind Jake, he wears his exogear, Jake has asked him to assist with the lecture, he quickly grabs the smaller floating sphere, Max stands there as well, he turns on a big stage light, perhaps one used by the Sky People in their mining operation; it was brought from Hell's Gate along with a small power generator, it is suppose to resemble the Pandoran sun, Alpha Centauri. Neither Norm nor Max are strangers to the Na'vi. Jake continues to explain: "Our home rotates around …." Norm begins to spin with the sphere around the largest sphere -representing Polyphemus-, until he gets completely covered by its shadow. Norm looks foolishly funny, as he takes careful steps holding the small sphere while raising his arms he almost looks like he is giving ballet lessons.

Some time has passed, Jake for now has said as much as he could in order to describe the circumstances behind an eclipse, he tries to speak with as much wisdom and knowledge as Tommy, his fallen brother would have, since he figures it must take a scientist to explain science. He pauses, he looks around, he notices everyone stares at him seriously and in a sort of daze, they all look like first graders taking premature algebra lessons, they just don't seem to have a clue of what Jake is talking about, or do they?. Jake takes a deep breath, he hears Norm giggling behind him, further behind Max giggles as well. Neytiri in the distance also giggles, for they all know this did not turn out as Jake had hoped. Jake concludes: "Any questions? -more silence-…..Thank you all for coming, we can all step outside now", As everyone quickly steps out, Jake seems disappointed, but soon enough laughs in indifference thinking "does it really matter?"

By now it is early afternoon; the clans have taken the opportunity to make of this event a rather social one. The women gather in small groups, some younger, some older, some are mothers, they all mingle with each other, they compliment each other on their neckwear and hair pieces, it is almost like an art festival for them, since each clan has its own distinctive way of dressing and portraying themselves. The men, many of them Jake's fellow warriors, also gather in small groups, they take pride in showing off their recently assembled weaponry, while they also joke around. Some Omaticaya cater their guest with treats of food and drinks, there is even singing to mellow the crowd. The children play in large groups.

Norm walks out of the large cave and into the open field; he drags the floating spheres with him and tosses them towards the children, who are actually taller than he is; the children jumping in bunches trying to reach them. The spheres make their way across the crowd like beach balls, the cool afternoon breeze slowly dragging them away, it seems for now, that's all they were good for. The beautiful floating mountains lay in the background on a beautiful Pandoran afternoon, there seems to be an everlasting feeling of peace among the Na'vi, this day is a perfect manifestation of it.

Jake stands at a distance from the crowd, he looks around in wonder. Norm approaches, he tells Jake:" My dear friend, I think you should accept it by now, not everyone's a scientist ….". Jake laughs, he tells Norm: "Well I guess it doesn't matter". Norm notices Jake's intriguing look as he looks around onto the crowd, he asks: "What's wrong?". Jake answers: "I don't see any of the Ikran people -referring to the "Ikran people of the eastern sea"-, they were supposed to come". Norm answers: "You're right, didn't the guards go out there to tell them?". Jake replies: "Yes, that was a few days back, they said they would come". Jake still looks around in wonder. The "guards" are in fact Jake's fellow clan members and warriors, Norm has come to know them as "guards" since they have been assigned to guard Hell's Gate and be on the lookout for intruders - and also, for a possible unexpected surprise return of the Alliance-. Jake, by no means has tried to rule his clan using military or "dictator" like methodology, his fellow warriors are his brothers, yet they respect him and follow his lead, it just comes naturally, they feel gratitude towards Jake, who does not abuse his power.

Eventually, Jake puts his worries aside and joins the crowd in mingling and socializing, little by little, the clans, as they all came, they all head back; they know they must make it back to their homes before night falls, many come from far, a few stay to camp for the night. The Omaticaya welcomes their stay with great hospitality, that's how deep and trustful the bond has become between them, in great part thanks to Jake.
