Txur looks at me mouth agape and eyes wide as dinner plates, "W-What? Maya.. Are you sure?" he asks
I hold his hand tighter and sigh, "All my life I felt like I was destined to be more than just the daughter of a scientist, on earth I felt like my purpose was to study what my father did, when he died I felt I thought that I had lost that purpose. But the last few months that I have lived on Pandora I have a new strive for life, I want to make my father proud of me." I admit
He gives me a loving and gentle smile, "Maya, I know that I only knew your father for a short time when he visited Hometree for a few days when I was young, all he would talk to me was about you, and how he was happy that you wanted to follow in his foot steps. He is proud of you Maya, I know he is."
I look down, "But Roberts not.."
Txur pulls me into his arms, I sigh in relief and relax. "Your brother will come around.. To be truthfully Maya, I am glad that you have chosen to become omaticaya." he tilts my head up, "Maya.. You know after a younger hunter passes the test of becoming one of the People?" I nod, "Well I have passed that test years ago and I have already made a bow but I-"
"You have not chosen a woman as your mate," I interrupt
"Yes.. My father told me that I will know who to chose when I felt it, but...I didnt... Until you came along.."
I gasp lightly, "Txur.. What are you saying.."
"Now that you have passed the test, a male may choose you for his mate.. And I've chosen you.." he announces
Tears of joy start to roll down my face, I throw my arms around his sleek body, "I'm so glad.." I whisper. He kisses the top of my head
"May!"
I move away from Txur to see Neytiri running to me, I embrace her, "Hi Neytiri. I know its been a long time since I've been here."
"Oh I have missed you, your brother told me that you were sick, that is why you didn't link to your avatar." she replies
I glare at the ground, "Well, thats not exactly what happened but thats not important right now. I need to speak to your mother
She looks at me confused, "What? Why?"
"Because she wants to become omaticaya." Txur answers for me, putting his hands on my shoulders
"What?" Neytiri gasps, she looks between me and Txur, "Are you- Have you two-"
"Neytiri!" he snarls at her
I blush, I knew what she was talking about, "Uh, Txur has just told me that he has chosen me, no we have not.. Mated. Can you just take me to Mo'at." I beg
She nods and leads me into Hometree
"Vrrtep!"
I hear a warrior that is Neytiri's age yell
"Tsu'tey! Mawey!" Neytiri yells back
He glares at me as we walk by, Txur hisses at him
"Sa'nok oel ngati kameie"
I look up to see an older version of Sylwanin and Neytiri, Mo'at sat on the ground mixing a small bowl of leaves and a weird colored liquid in a small wooden bowl, she raises her eyes to look to her daughter then she looks at me.
She stands and hugs Neytiri, "Hello Maya, Txur. What do you need?"
I gulp and step forward, "Mo'at..I would like to become Omaticaya."
She looks at me as if what I said didn't make much sense to her, something catches her eye, we all look up to see a little Woodspirit float down and land right on my hand, Mo'at smiles, "It is a sign from Eywa. You have the heart of an Omaticaya. It will be done, tonight, your spirit must pass though the Great Eye of Eywa and return to your other body." she explains
I nod my head, "I can do it."
