Heya again! Thanks to billfirmage for reviewing! Glad you liked the whole Sylwanin thing! I like to read reviews so please, keep em coming because they make me write more! And also improve! I'm sorry this chapter isnt as detailed, but i want to take my time as this story should be quite looooooooooooooong. Avatara ROCKS! 0.0 (my avatar face ;)
Sylwanin trotted past her parents and ran up the tree. "Are you not going to tell them of the tawtute, tsmuke?" Neytiri asked her, following her sister up the great spiral. "If we tell them, a war is likely to come over us" Sylwanin said, firmly. When they got to one of the branches, Sylwanin told her sister to go and see other people. She wanted to be alone with only T'sutey and his group of hunters. Neytiri tried to follow her sister. "No Neytiri!" She snapped, pushing her sister back. Neytiri had never seen this side of her sister before. It was like an evil spirit had taken control of her older sibling and its poison was coursing through her veins. A tear, like a single jewel, dropped from Neytiri's eye. She turned and walked off.
A few months had passed since the sighting. Sylwanin had not been the same. She hunted frequently and didn't have much time for Neytiri anymore.
Grace Augustine's school was the one place she ever did see her sister. It was a good place to be and the na'vi children felt safe there. They learnt things of the dream walker's world and their cultures. Grace had always tried to convince the children that not all sky people are bad, but Sylwanin had always encouraged the idea they were Ewya's rejects. Neytiri knew her sister would be at the school, so she headed for the shack, in hope of finding her.
"Welcome my ayeveng, please, sit down." Grace said, rubbing off old words that she had been teaching the day prier. Kameya, a young student of the school, came running up to Grace, holding flowers in her hand and an array of colorful shells. "These are for you sa'nok!" She said, grinning widely, so her teeth were showing. Grace carefully took the gifts and patted the young girls head. "Irayo" she replied. Neytiri walked in and smiled at Grace. She then looked around the room and still could see no sign of Sylwanin. Where was she?
The day passed quickly and the school closed up for the night. Some of the na'vi children stayed, playing games of hide and seek or tag. Others walked home, ready for the evening meal. Neytiri decided to go deeper into the forest and look around. If she still did not see Sylwanin, she would ask her mother and father. Surely they would know where their daughter was?
Dusk fell over Pandora, whilst Neytiri walked through the forest. She listened to the life around her. How it moved, how it breathed, how everything had meaning. The thought of dream walkers, wanting to get rid of her world upset Neytiri. Who would want to hurt such a magical and peaceful place? She never did think like her sister. Yes they were bad, but Neytiri wanted to agree with Grace, when she said not all sky people are bad. As Neytiri walked, the sound of chatter broke her train of thought. Instinct kicked in and she swung herself onto a branch. She peered over the end and could make out four or five figures maybe? They were standing around a small tree stump. Neytiri moved in closer, pricking her ears up to catch any sound that escaped that area. Finally, when her eyes adjusted to the light of the flora, Neytiri saw T'sutey, Ikäwen, T'xanta and … Sylwanin! What were they doing? Neytiri could make out a few words, hoping they would make sense. "Sky…Sky people… die? Must die?"
They were planning to attack the dream walkers! Neytiri sighed, louder then she wanted and caught the attention of T'xanta. Luckily, Neytiri ducked in time before she could spot her. T'xanta puffed and looked back at the group. After a few more minutes of chatting, the na'vi set off in the direction of home tree. Neytiri then followed, stepping lightly to make sure she wasn't found out. She was becoming more of a skilled huntress by the day.
