Chapter 16: Thoughts of the Future

The battle was won. The Sky People were gone now, and they better understand to never return to Pandora again. They allowed the two scientists who warned and helped them to stay as a gift for such actions. And now, everything could return to peace.

It would be the next night that the two scientists would be permanently changed to their Na'vi bodies. But Tekumseh was confused as to what he was going to do now. With his father still recuperating after the assault on Hometree, he would have to lead a bit more. But after the battle and banishment of the humans, he wasn't sure if he could do it for a while.

Tekumseh sighed as he lied on his hammock since it was night hour. 'My father has been doing this for years. And when he dies, it'll be my turn to do it until I die. I need to do what it takes to keep the People in order no matter how long I have to, like my father. I am a Toruk Makto for a reason. Seyley knew I had a destiny more than I would ever know. I'm not sure if that destiny was banishing the Sky People again, though. Maybe…'

He slowly got up from his hammock without waking the other Na'vi. He silently hurried down the tree and towards the Ayvitrayä Ramunong, the one place where he could ask Eywa for guidance and hope she would answer.

When he arrived, he got closer to the vines and kneeled down at the foot of the tree. He slowly whispered, "Eywa, I beg you to help me." He slowly took his braid and wrapped his tsaheylu around the closest vine. "I need your guidance, Eywa. I know in the end of my father's life I will be Olo'eyktan forever. But I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. What if my father doesn't make recovery like everyone expects? What if I'm in his place before I am ready? What should I do? I don't know what to do next. Please, Eywa, if you can, I need your help, your guidance."

Suddenly, a wise and noble voice called back, "I hear you, Tekumseh." The Acting Olo'eyktan was brought fully into the normal hallucination like situation. But this time, he was in a starry dark space with a light in front of him. "You are a wise and noble leader, Tekumseh. Follow your heart and you'll know what to do. You have options you do not yet acknowledge, but you will soon."

"What do you mean, Great Mother?" he asked uncertain.

"On another world, this mind of yours once belonged to Yusei Fudo who is now in a coma while you are here. When I sensed what you were and that your destiny was finished on that world, I brought your mind here so you could finish your destiny. But I accidently made you forget all of your past life. Now, you are at a crossroads. On one side, you stay Tekumseh, the next Olo'eyktan and a Na'vi. On the other, you will return to your original world and a life you once knew," she replied as two smaller lights appeared beside him, one blue as the Na'vi side and one red for his other self. "And so you remember who you once were, you will receive your past memories." Tekumseh went wide eyed as his mind flashed full of memories of the man from his dreams, but they stayed this time. Now he fully understood the option Eywa was giving him: To return to a life he knew for so long before or to continue the life he was living now. "What do you choose, Tekumseh? Think carefully."

'The others seem to be happy here. And what would happen to the People if I died here to return to this other life? My father hasn't recovered yet and I am the only heir to the Omaticaya. I can't afford to die here. The People need me right now and will always need me,' he thought. He then turned to the blue light and gently grabbed it. It wrapped around him with a light.

"You will now and always be a Na'vi, Tekumseh. At this moment, your other self is fading. I know you made the right choice, as do you. You are a leader at heart and know to push aside your own curiousness or wants when you are needed. You are destined to lead the Omaticaya, Tekumseh. And you will lead them well. So lead them for as long as you have to. It is your job now," Eywa called before Tekumseh found himself back in reality.

He took a deep breath as he released his grip on Ayvitrayä Ramunong's vine. He stood up and began to walk away when he noticed Arati coming up. "Arati," he greeted. "What're you doing here? You should be asleep."

"I saw you get up and was concerned," she explained. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I just needed to see if I could get some guidance from Eywa," Tekumseh explained.

"Did you?" Arati asked.

"I did," he answered. She smiled as he held her face for a moment. "Come on. We need to get back before we're missed."

"Alright," she agreed. He held her hand gently as they hurried back to the Hometree.

Tekumseh knew that decision he made was large and probably affected the lives of everyone on that other planet. But he also knew his choice was the right one, Eywa had said it herself. All responses by Eywa were only to stay between her and the receiver if in something private like this, so he knew no one else could know. But he was okay with that.

This was the life he was given. His time on that other world was done when he was brought here. He had this life and it was one he couldn't be happier in.
