I was shaken awake by Norm. "What is it?" I asked as I sat up, and rubbed my eyes. "Jake wants to see you." He said before getting up, and going to help Trudy with a box. Sighing, I got up and went over to the open link. It still had blood stains on it, but I didn't have much of a choice. When I opened my other eyes, I was on a small pallet of woven leaves with Alyara sitting beside me. "What's going on?" I asked as she rushed me to my feet. "Jakesully wants to see you right away." I sighed as I let myself get pulled along by Alyara, and we met him at the tree. "What do you want?" I asked annoyed as he turned to face me. "I know this is a lot to ask, but I really need your help on this." He said, and I shook my head. "No, I've already told you before that I'm not the person for this." I turned to leave, and he put a strong hand on my shoulder. "If you want to still do something for Grace then do this." I turned, and looked back into his eyes. They were sad and angry, and I knew that he was just as torn by what had happened. I looked at the ground between us, and said. "I can't, not now." I looked back up at him, and he gave me a warm smile. "I understand, just come to me when you're ready." He said, and I nodded before walking away. I found some food, and sat down under the crack I had made with my fist in the stone. Alyara sat down next to me with her own food, and I asked. "Are you alright?" She looked off into the distance before saying. "I'm fine, just worried about the people." I smiled before taking a bite of the meat that I had collected, and sat my head back. "I'm sorry." I whispered, almost inaudible to even her ears. "Why?" She asked as I closed my eyes, thinking that it would be one of the last times I would feel the wind on my face. "It's nothing, just thinking out loud."

She leaned over to look me in the eyes, and said. "Tell me." I looked at her, and said. "Nothing." She didn't back down from my stern answer, and continued to asked until I said. "I'm sorry alright? You taught me everything you knew, and I still couldn't do anything. You, the others, Jake, Grace, Norm, Trudy and myself." I averted my eyes so she wouldn't see the tears gathering in the corners. She set her leaf plate down, and wrapped her hands around my neck before lightly kissing me on the cheek. "Don't worry, I still love you. Now go with Jakesully, and bring back the clans to fight." I smiled before hugging her back. A while later I unlinked, and had some food before getting back in and going to Jake. "I'm ready." I said after we had sat down by ourselves. He smiled before saying. "Good, we're about to leave to unite the clans." I nodded, and said. "I'm coming, but don't expect me to speak or anything." He nodded as he sighed. "Well, saddle up were leaving in an hour." I stood, and found the pallet that I had woken up on. By then it was getting dark, and I wanted to make sure everything was okay at the complex before I left. All was well, and I told them that we wouldn't be back until late that night. When I linked up again, the Na'vi were jumping on their Ikran, and I rushed to the Direhorses only to be pulled up off of my feet and landing on the back of an Ikran. "You will ride with me." Alyara said as we re-formed with the rest of the riders. We flew well into the night before landing. Jake and I unlinked, and got some well deserved rest before the next morning. We flew for another day before we made it to the Tipani clan. They jumped right in after Jake spoke, and I stayed on the sidelines like I thought I should until the second night after we left the Tipani. "I want you beside me next time." Jake said as I got out of my link. "Why?" I asked as I looked over at the new Toruk Makto. He smiled before saying. "You may mean nothing to them, but you are important to us. That's why I want you there."

I smiled, and shook my head. "Alright, but I'm still not saying anything." He nodded before heading over to his bed on the floor. We made it to the plains clans, and just as he requested I stood by him and the other important people. It felt humbling to be there, but I knew that if I wasn't it wouldn't matter. I didn't mind though, I just wanted to kill every last human on this planet. I made it known to Jake that he did, and he shook his head. "Forgive your enemies, but always remember their names. If you fight for revenge I'll have to bury you as well, and I don't want to do that." He said, and I nodded. "Don't go philosophical on me, I thought you were a war hardened marine." He laughed a little before saying. "I am, the army teaches you more than just killing. Although they do make it a priority." I smiled, and thought to myself. "God I hope I get to kill at least twenty. Is that too big of a number?" Eventually we made it to the plains, and then to the ocean where we stopped. There were no more clans on this continent, so we had no choice. our numbers were in the thousands, and we had the home field advantage, but even then we were out numbered and outgunned. The plan was to surprise them from the air. "Most of the soldiers don't know that the Na'vi have the ability to tame and fly Ikran, and those that do are considered liars. It's basically a myth to those who aren't scientists." Norm explained while we were at the complex going over everything with them. "I can rig the chopper guns to my stick so I can shoot them." Trudy said, and I perked up. "Can you leave one open?" She looked over at me in complete confusion, and I said. "I want to fly in the chopper, I can help better that way." She sighed before nodding, and I smiled before thinking. "Good, this way I won't cause too much trouble." We slept uneasily that night because we didn't know what the next day held.
