Jake, Norm, and the Doctor arrive at the shorelines of the river's delta, the clan leaders and their men arrive as well, they have followed the Samson. They find a comfortable place to land; Jake approaches the shoreline where the dry river ends, nothing more than cobbles now meet the sea. He discovers that the river and sea are at very different levels, the river actually would mend more like a waterfall hundreds of feet above the ocean. Jake begins to get flash thoughts on his mind of what the cascading river most have looked like when it had a current. He sees beautiful clear images of a near glowing cascade falling into the sea in the late afternoon sunset, he sees in his mind children playing and diving from the cliffs, his visions are ever so pleasant, he feels the peace.
Jake sits back in a nearby rock to contemplate the setting, Norm and the Doctor stand beside him, they look on to the sea. Norm had never travel this far from the base, he is astonished at the ocean view, first time he sees it. Jake keeps seeing visions of the river falls, he sees how it used to be at night, a glowing waterfall falling into the ocean, suddenly he sees images where there are cottages, he sees Na'vi people walking around as if the place was once a village. Meanwhile, Norm asks: "if the river mouth is that high from the surface, how will they unload their cranes on to it?" The Doctor answers confused: "beats me!". Jake keeps getting visions but is also alert at what Norm has just asked, after careful thought, Jake realizes as he answers: "they're moving in at high tide, when the ocean reaches the river's mouth". Norm laughs in some skeptic disbelief, he says: "come on Jake, the tide cannot possibly reach that high, that's hundreds of feet!" The Doctor stays quiet, Jake replies: "oh it does, I've seen it, it reaches the very mouth of it and even higher, that's when they'll get here, at the peak of high tide".
Suddenly Jake begins to get more intense flash thoughts of what the river's mouth once was, he begins to see battles being fought, an army of men, suddenly he gets a horrendous vision of a Na'vi men being hung, in a similar way as the Txampay hang their punished. Jake opens his eyes, looks up into the highest peak above the dry river, in the distance he sees a hanging pole, identical to those in the island on which the clan leader of the Ikran people perished, on that from which he came so close to being hung. Jake says in a stuttering whispering tone: "oh no, this is it, where the river meets the sea!". Mo'At comes to mind, where Jake stands is where the Txampay Na'vi Teyr once lived, before they fled, before Toruk Makto forced them to flee.
This is the place where one final battle was fought just as Mo'At had described. Jake runs, he immediately begins a climb uphill and into the hanging pole he can see from a distance, the Doctor and Norm struggle to follow what is a treacherous steep trek uphill, the highest point in all of the seen landscape. When they finally reach the top, there stands Jake, thoughtful, looking at the pole, which has almost rotten its wood with the passing of time, generations perhaps; he looks around, he begins to perceive what are the remnants of an old fishing village that once stood there. Norm, noticing that Jake now has this worried look, asks: "What is it Jake?" Jake replies:"this is where they once lived". Norm does not understand, he asks: "who? who lived here?" Jake does not immediately respond, he just keeps getting visions of all the suffering that once took place where he now stands, Eywa impregnated him with the worse memories of those who suffered and perished at the hands of the despot Txampay Na'vi Teyr; Jake can feel their anguish, their pain, he becomes increasingly nervous, he finally tells Norm and the Doctor: "I think we have a bigger challenge here than we once thought".
Jake is suddenly hunted by the terrifying thought that the Txampay may join in the fight, inevitably resuscitating an unimaginable conflict among clans, one that generations ago took the life of many, but was never finally settled, as Mo'At once warned.
It's becoming late, by now the sun almost bears over the horizon, Norm says: "Jake, we better get going, is late, and we need to spend the night at the base gearing up". Jake informs his fellow clan leaders to depart but to be on standby with their men ready to mobilize as soon as they are told. Jake must return home to the caves, he needs to spend some time with his clan and with Neytiri, plus he also needs to get his men ready.
As the Samson lands near the caves, Jake asks the Doctor and Norm to return to the base, and check on the satellite images. Also, he asks them to see if there is any data available on the tidal movement on Pandora, perhaps they can figure out when high tide will occur. Jake also asks the Doctor to load up the Samson with as many guns, explosives and grenades as possible, they will need these for the defending of the shore; Jake is aware this may not help, based on what the Doctor told him, but is worth a shot.
