Revelation Chapter VIII After all these tumults, all could be finally found in a quiet place of the tree. They evoked their common memories, Neytiri told the arrival of Jake to the clan of Omaticyas and the first days of its long initiation. This did not start a laughter badly, although Jake found that to him much less funny.
Norman, as for him, told good fortunes of its clan, his first hunting for the méthabetes, their meeting with the close clan, all the small details. Jake was very impressed by all that, Norman succeeded better than Jake had hoped for it in its role of chief in spite of uncertainties of Normam. In the gleam of the torches, Na' VI was held in front of them silently, Mo' At rose like piqué by an insect and murmurs.
- tsmukan ftu Etukan, you? Here?
It approached Mo' At and was inclined deeply Norman, surprised, required of Mo' At how she knew it.
Mo' At explained the beginning of this history, although she is already known by Norman. But he learned that Mo' At had taken part in its training and as he quite young person and was separated from his parents, she had behaved like a mother for him, Etukan like a father. Then the wandering tribe to which he was entrusted left towards other areas and other clans so that he can continue his teaching.
Brother of Etukan did not pronounce any word, leaving with Mo' At the care to tell this passage of his history. When it had finished, he turned to Norman and expressed the wish of speaking to assemble it. This request which could appear protocolar. It is used only that for the advertisement of things of great importance and requires an attentive listening of the audience.
- with your permission, I would like to address to me to you all.
Norman, which burning curiosity granted the word to him.
- What I have to say to you perhaps will answer questions that you and Jake you are posed, all will not be pleasant, but it is time for you to learn certain things. But front, there is a ritual which I must achieve with you.
It turned to Mo' At.
- I think that you have with you the object which we need.
Mo' At never separated from this object, the memory of the clan. It was turned and left a bag a leather pocket sinks and tightened it to him. It took it very respectfully, assied as a tailor, and with slow gestures untied the small cord and unfolded the leather part. In the center of this one, a bag of fabric, Frère of Etukan left there a long collar made multicoloured stone that it had on the part leather. Mo' At contemplated this collar not without a certain emotion.

It looked at Jake.
- This is the collar of the spirits of the chiefs of the clan. Each stone of this collar represents the spirit of each chief of Omaticayas, it is time for you, like all one makes at the beginning of their reign of meter your stone.
Mo' At cherished a white stone gently to vein blacks, that of Etukan. Jake looked at the collar lengthily as if he wanted to recognize all the chiefs.
- Brother of Etukan, I think that it misses one of them.
Jake took down a small purse which it carried to the belt and a collar decorated with a red stone blood left there.
- This belonged to Tsu' Tey, even if he were chief only little of time, he paid his life our freedom and he has his place among all these chiefs.
He posed the collar in the center of the stones.
Brother of Etukan looked it while smiling.
- This gesture is very with your Jake honor. I did not await less you and I was not to mislead while connecting to me has your cause.
It tightened the hand towards Jake which gave the collar to him. Jake removed a green stone collar which it always carried, a gift of Neytiri and deposited it to dimension that of Tsu' Tey.
- Norman, as for you. You duties will make a choice, as you founded a new clan and as a chief of this one, you can decide to create a new collar of the spirits is to continue that of the large rock which by chance was not lost.
- This clan is especially composed of the survivors of that of the large rock. Even if we chose another name, there remains some share the clan of the large rock, by respect for them. I would wish to continue their collar of the spirits, if they are all of agreement.
- Tomorrow, you will discuss it with the members your clan, we will make according to their choice.

It gave the collar in the bag of fabric and closed again the leather part, it closed the eyes and made a sentence with Eywa where it testified to the act of Jake.
- As I said it presently to you, I have large things to say to you, I will begin with you Jake.
The passage of your spirit towards your Misadventure was wished by Omaticayas. That you know it already, but a thing that Eywa had not provided, it is that you become the chief of the clan, that is due to the will of Tsu' Tey. However, like the law of the clan wants it, only those which were born within the clan can claim to be chiefs. Tsu' Tey which however knew this rule well, it wanted it thus. But Eywa did not want to go against the last will of a chief ready to join it, it was necessary however that it makes sure that you could succeed to him with dignity. I should have met you much earlier in order to probe your spirit, but you made a gesture which made it possible Eywa to do it before less. Without knowing the range of tone gesture, you connected yourself first once to it, to carry by your desire to join to you to the prayers of the clan. When you connected yourself to the tree of the hearts, you with heard see it of Tsu' Tey and you informed Mo' At of your curious experiment, at this time it included/understood what it had passed, by its voice, Eywa called you. It had chosen this moment to reach your spirit and to find answer to the questions which it raised. But you were not prepared so that it was going to occur. I think that Mo' At would have preferred to warn to you of what you could risk. You endured one of the most terrible tests than it is without being prepared there. To appear before Eywa and all the former chiefs of the clan. They probed your spirit with deepest, some of the very former chiefs wanted to kill you, not wanting you to carry out the clan. However much saw in you your love for hold and your will to belong to this world, they ended up joining with your partisans. I also probed myself your spirit and I reassure you, I were your to dimension.
- What would it have occurred if I had not been considered to be worthy? asked Jake.
- You would never have awaked or you would have lost the reason… What could have arrived depended on much very different spirit, it is difficult to answer this question. But if you had not been designer like a potential chief for Omaticyas, this could have had dramatic consequences for the clan.
Mo' At spoke.
- J' should have taken the head of the clan and have appointed a new chief. Some would have tried to take advantage of their rights to become it. Generally, this situation often has a fatal outcome for a clan. In this situation. It happened that in clans, members entretués themselves, we have also weaknesses.
Jake felt its blood to be frozen after this revelation. Brother of Etukan spoke.
- yes Jake. You became chief of this clan, not by the wills of Eywa and Tsu' Tey, but by your acts to pass, and it is what that you became since the chief of Omaticayas. If you were to undergo this test again, you could return account by yourself to you how much you gained your place.
It was inclined in front of Jake and its glance turned to Trudy.
- Trudy, without wanting to offend to you you are the strangest thing that it was given to me to meet, although you come from the sky, you are that which resembles more one Na' VI. I do not even know how that is possible and can be even as Eywa is unaware of it too.
But you must know that it accepted you such as you are, like with fact the clan and your husband. Your devotion to the clan to attract his glance on you and your prayers that you forward to him by him is heard as to any Na' VI.
The fact that she refused you to carry a child rests on a reason which you could find unjust. It did not know which would be the fruit of your union, it is not against the arrival of a new race. But it would have found the only member of a new species. Eywa did not find that just. Trudy sighed, a little sad glance spoke. - It is true that I would have liked to have a child with Atzenko, even if I have evil to include/understand why she does not want it. But good, we adopted a child and he regards me as his mother, even if he is twice larger than month. What can I hope moreover?
This last remark made smile the assembly.
Fère d' Etukan turned to Norman.
- Norman, my friend, as for you, you are only here with whom Eywa had prepared the way. For a long time, it had chosen you to carry out the clan of the large rock, the same evening when you came in front of the tree from the hearts for the help from Grace. However, you failed to ruin his plan while refusing to look after you and precipitate your death. Everyone fixed Norman, all were incrédules in front of this declaration. Norman as for him was terribly constrained, it did not think that its secrecy would be one day revealed. It looked at his friends, it was time for him to tell you the truth. It lowered the eyes towards the ground.
- While arriving on Pandora, I knew that my days were counted, I suffered from a rare genetic disease, I learned it a few weeks before my departure. Most curious, it is that none the geneticists who dealt with my misadventure of oneself seen. The doctor did not want any more that I leave, I had to battle during hours and signed tons discharges so that it finally lets to me leave.
With the voyage, there remained to me hardly two years to be lived on Pandora. You include/understand Jake why at the I beginning you wanted of it by the fact that you had been chosen by Omaticayas.
But then, after all the events I threw myself thoroughly in the lifestyle of Na' screw. I wanted to say it to you, but I never found courage to do it. I saw that my health had been stabilized, I believed myself left business up to one morning when the first signs appeared. I met a doctor of the center, I is all to tell to him while making him promise to maintain the secrecy. It made me many examinations.
My disease developed more quickly than envisaged and it hardly remained me more than two months to living at this time. I would have more gained a few weeks by looking after me and while connecting to me more to my misadventure. But I wanted to finish my life with my misadventure, I felt my last days to arrive, I connected myself to my misadventure and left it in the chain the Alleluias in order to die in this place which I like so much.
I awoke with the foot of the tree of the hearts without same knowledge which I had died, I did not remember nothing, I found part of my memory well a long time afterwards.
Everyone looked at Norman, to dismay by its revelations Jake spoke - Do Norman, my brother, why you not say? With the assistance of Mo' At of Eywa you would have joined your misadventure and to save this test to you - in front of the eminence of its death, it is not easy to keep its reason and to make the good decisions.
Jake could not hold rigor in Norman, it did not even know which behavior it would have had in front of such a fact.
- You have chance that Eywa had seen that, it placed somebody at your dimensioning, and it is it which could prevent your spirit from leaving your misadventure at the time of your death.
- Grace?
Brother of Etukan fixed Norman.
- Yes, Grace, it took care on you and Jake, like it always made it since your arrived. You to represent some share the children whom the life did not give him, it loves you much and is very proud you.
- Damage that it is with Eywa. Sighed Norman.
are you on? known as Brother of Etukan on a a little dry tone.
I do not even believe in another possibility nor as will révérons we it.
Brother D' Etukan lowered the head in a gesture of negation.
- When cease you believing, while believing you do not see. You are however the evidence that Eywa exists. To believe is an error of your world, you believe in something unable to achieve no matter what oneself. Eywa is not a vague venerated and inaccessible idol, it everywhere, in each living being of your world. Na' VI does not need to believe in it, it knows at the bottom of him that it exists.
Did Eywa show you a sign that all was finished for Grâce? you it you it shown dead?
Jake and Norman could answer only not.
- If that were to arrive, in a way or of another, it would have sent a sign to you. The last words of Grace should however open the Jake spirit to you, and not doubt Eywa. Conscious that it had been carried a little, it continued on a softer tone almost with low voice.
- Grace is not so far that from you, it has been even already several weeks that it joined you, like Eywa.
All, looked at incrédule, only Mo' At kept an impassive face, it rose and moved towards deadened Thanator, the son of Jake slept between his powerful legs. It was put at knees and approached the hand of the head of the animal. Jake wanted to warn it, but of a gesture, it made him understand that it was useless to speak. He cherished the neck of the animal which opened an eye and sighed. He fixed Frère of Etukan, as if he included/understood what was going to occur, he raised the head by inclining it slightly, releasing his ketse. Brother of Etukan taken his ketse and connected himself to that of the thanator, it remained a long moment joined to the animal, his eyes to counterirritate turned in his orbits, it breathed bruyamment.
Mo' At was shown reassuring - It is always impressive to see large Tsaick speaking in Eywa, even for me.
All its body trembled, but it ends up calming down.
It withdrew its ketse.
- A long time ago that I did not approach Eywa of so near, not in this form animal, it was necessary that it agrees to let to me speak to him, he is very attached to you Neytiri, as in Jake. He saw me like an intruder, but he finished by me hearing and to let to me speak in Eywa, he protects it too.
Jake, you will be able to speak in Eywa, it understands that you do not see yet in it. But for the way for which you of intend, one needs nothing any more but you doubts and which you make him confidence. But front, it has just revealed me certain thing which my to give the responsability to say to you.
It rose and comes to be placed in front of Neytiri.
Thus it was sure that it did not risk anything. I do not know why it accompanied the spirit by Grace. So that it can return, Eywa must find a body of woman to him, it must be being born, but the last births gave only males, however the next birth will give a girl, isn't this Neytiri?
All the glances turned to Neytiri, Jake knew very well that Neytiri wished another child, wish that it divided. But she had not prevented it yet that was for soon. Neytiri was surprised, it had not felt the signs heralding nor even seen in its dreams the sex their future child. In front of the expression of Neytiri, Frère of Etukan smiled.
- Would not be surprised, you wished another child, you would have learned it that in a few days. However, only can make to you the decision of the passage of the spirit of Grace in that of your daughter, if you do it against your will, that could not be done. - Your daughter will grow normally like any child na' VI, the spirit of Grace will not appear before her 15 years. Even with the spirit of Grace, it will be always that you be his/her parents, it is a a little difficult thing has to admit, but Eywa will take care has that.
This will be the last things that I would reveal you. It is in you maintaining, Jake and Norman to open to you in Eywa and to learn how to recognize and to interpret the signs which you sendings. For my part, I asked Eywa to be able to finish my life of nomad, I passed about half of my life to serve it, I would like to finally found a family and not to be alone more. Another man with his mark completed his formation and will be able to take my place. Thing which it accepted, but by doing that, I would not have any more contacts myself to privilege with it and I should interpret the signs which sends to me as do it rather all Tsaick than to say them directly to me.
It rose and was placed in front of Norman.

- will you accept me in your tree and like member of your clan?
Norman rose in its turn, returned its safety to him.
- we will celebrate your rebirth very soon.
It affixed its hands on its shoulders, everyone rose and united with its gesture.
- I have a last thing to ask you.
It turned and tightened the hand to a dark corner of the tree. Young Na' VI rose and joined.
- I would like to found a hearth with it and to have your agreement for that.
This request is purely protocolar, never a chief of clan will not be opposed to a union.
- and well, we will celebrate its two events at the same time.
Brother of Etukan turned to Jake.
- Come, it is time to meet her.
