Meanwhile, in the Tree of Souls, the Na'vi were singing help for Eywa to overcome the sorrow that had befallen them. One particular Na'vi princess was singing not only for her people but for her mate and herself as well.

When she had left his body in the path of flames, she felt no regret only anger, pain and betrayal. However, Ni'nat's words and her very own faith and trust in her mate sent Neytiri to release all the anger she had only to be left by sorrow and the life of loneliness she had placed herself in for her lack of faith.

Only her Jake could end this pain.

A dark shadow loomed over her, blocking out the sun and when she opened her eyes, fear courses through her as she stepped back.

Toruk swooped down and was heading towards the people, the Na'vi screamed in fear as another toruk swooped down. They both landed side by side and gave of one, thunderous roar.

A person was sitting on each toruk and she was stunned to see one of them that was oh so familiar to her.

One of them was her Jake.

There he stood beside toruk with his sister as he slowly patted the beast's head. Her heart leapt out to him as she made her way down.

He slowly made his way to her as the people parted like the sea. Emersyn stayed behind to watch the scene unfold. As he neared her, she noticed one thing that was missing.

Where was his smile?

Where was the smile that laughed in the face of a dangerous task? Where was the carefree smile she always see when he accomplished a task? Where was the smile that made her fall in love with him?

Where was her Jake?

Silence reigned in before she spoke, her voice breathy "I See You" She saw his lips twitch and her heart leapt.

"I See You"

He answered back, his voice thick with emotion as he slowly slid his arms to her as if he was afraid she would run away.

But she stayed and it there she vowed to never leave this male nor doubt him ever again.

~oOo~

I watched as Jake and Neytiri had their little moment, hearing thundering footsteps of a pa'li, I turned to see Tom and Ni'nat coming. I held back a grin when Tom's mouth gaped at the sight of the two toruks and it was then I realized this was the first time in Na'vi history to ever have TWO Toruk Maktos.

My gaze went back to Jake and Neytiri before they landes on Tsu'tey who had an unreadable expression on his face. Jake's words made him lose contact from me and I took that time to walk towards them.

The Na'vi stared at me as I walked towards them and I kept my face as neutral as possible. Once I reached Jake, he was already waiting for Tsu'tey to accept him, accept us.

Tsu'tey took a step back, his face filled with uncertainty and a flash of pain went through me before I forced it down. It was around that time the toruks roared and spread their wings as if to remind us all of their presence.

"Toruk Makto..."

Tsu'tey trailed off before sighing and placing a hand on Jake's chest "I will fly with you" I smiled as did Jake before he spoke gravely.

"My friend is dying, Grace is dying"

Mo'at and Neytiri paled at the mention of their tawtute friend dying "We beg the help of Eywa" I said "Bring her to me" Mo'at immediately said and Jake didn't hesitate to go back to his toruk and fly away towards the hidden shacks.

I stayed there while Tom and Ni'nat were being welcomed back to the clan. Tsu'tey still did not look at me and I wonder if my absence in my avatar body when Hometree fell was the reason.

I shrugged before heading to my toruk. I connected my tswin and said that she was not needed yet and gave her freedom to fly before night fell.

Feelings someone behind me I turned and saw Tsu'tey "Kaltxì Ol'eytkan" I greeted and something flashed in Tsu'tey's eyes but it was gone before I could even decipher it.

"Call me by name Emersyn"

Tsu'tey spoke and I nodded. An uncomfortable silence fell and I opened my mouth to tall when I heard someone call me.

I turned to see a few Na'vi male hunters calling to me and gesturing me to come over. I shrugged and went out to them.

I did not noticed the tense look Tsu'tey had when they called over.

~oOo~

He recognized those hunters, they were the ones who sought for his student's affection. Though he knew she was a dreamwalker, a few Na'vi males didn't seem to bother her dreamwalker appearance and the same thing could be the same for the females to her brothers.

At first he didn't notice because he was busy with the hinting parties and his training as Ol'eytkan. But as he grew closer to her, he finally noticed a few males eyeing her.

Which did not sit well with him.

At first he was confused of what he felt which annoyed him of not knowing which made him react harshly to his student and they would often bicker.

It was only when Hometree fell and he couldn't find her did he realize what he felt.

It was love.

A loud roar came and he looked up to see Jake and Neytiri returning with Grace's sky person body. The sound of pa'li footsteps came and he saw another dreamwalker with Grace's dreamwalker body.

The people were already connecting their tswin to the roots of the Tree of Souls.

It was time.

~oOo~

I beside Tom and Ni'nat as Jake carefully lay Grace's body and saw small roots wrapping themselves around Grace and her avatar body.

"Is she going to be alright?"

I asked Mo'at unsurely and she answered "The Great Mother may chose to save all that she is...in this body" She gestured to Grace's avatar and I realized that of Grace were to be able to make it, she will be full Na'vi.

"Will it work?"

Jake asked "She must pass through the Eye of Eywa and return. But Jakesully, she is very weak" Mo'at said gravely and I feared the worst.

"Hold on Grace, we're gonna fix you up"

Jake reassured her and held her body tenderly. I spoke beside Jake "Don't you dare die on us" I unconsciously rubbed my shoulder where the bullet wound was and it sometimes hurt even though my avatar body is not wounded.

I watched as the entire forest pulse as the Na'vi chanted and prayed for Grace to return and Mo'at was saying some tsahik prayer.

The pulse beat faster and most rolled her eyes back so much that all I saw was white in her her eyes when she gasped and snapped back before raising her hand and ordering all Na'vi to be silent.

My heart pounded as Grace weakly lift her arm up to Jake "Jake.." She mumbled and the three of us towered over her.

"Grace..."

Jake blinked as if he was fighting back tears. Tom and I looked at Grace's serene face, dread hitting our stomachs. She smiled faintly "I'm with her Jake, she's real..."

Real? Who's is the "she"?

"Grace! GRACE!"

Jake called out and Tom began to panic as did Ni'nat "What's happening?!" Tom called out "Is she alright?" Ni'nat hollered back.

"Dammit Grace Say Something!"

Grace took one final breath before gently closing her eyes as if she was just falling asleep. Jake continued to call her as the pulse stopped and a great darkness spread around the tree.

"Did it work?!"

Norm asked Mo'at. Her hands hovered over Grace's avatar but she solemnly turned to us "Her wounds were too great, it was not enough time. She is with Eywa now" We all froze as Neytiri made a movement to pull out Grace's exo pack and touched her cheek.

I dropped down to my knees and covered my face and silently cried.

Grace may not be our relative but during and along the way, she became a mother figure to us.
