The great voyage Chapter VII

Norman went up the long line of Na' screw loans at the beginning, it had given the signal of the departure and all the file was put moving. On both sides of the path, Omaticayas were all present for a last good-bye at the members of the clan of the large rock. They wished also a good voyage to their brothers who accompanied them for this voyage, tour which will last several days, made perilous, because the season of the storms arrived. Many was anxious to travel in this period.
Omaticayas greeted the procession, environment was quiet, almost sinister, Jake looked at the last Na' screw with far, the closed face. Norman and the clan of the large rock had left towards their new ground and another destiny.
The first hours of walk were done silently, but to weary of this calm heavy, some entonnèrent an enthusiastic song to go up the moral one. The song was taken again little by little by the remainder of the walkers.
Ikran de Norman flew over them, the day before it had wanted to return its freedom to him, it had been connected to him and had tried to explain to him. Even if it were able to share feelings and to include/understand certain things, to render comprehensible to him why it returned to him its freedom were more complicated. Ikran remained, it rubbed its head against the chest of Norman, it claimed some delicacies whose Norman never forgot to give him.
The merry songs taken again by all, that ends up giving again the smile with Norman, it is true that it left, but not definitively.
The first part of the voyage was easy, it was on grounds which it knew well for the assets pressed with many resumption during its initiation and of hunting. Afterwards, that would become more difficult, even if it had flown over the way and that the clan of the blue tree had provided a chart, it were unfortunately incomplete. Part of the voyage was to be done with hillside. If time remained dry, this place would occur without problem, if time changes with the storm, that is likely to be perilous.
The sun arrived at the zenith, they took a pause for a frugal é' tey as a good expert of the clan checked if nobody had been wounded during the voyage. If the progression kept the same rate/rhythm, they would arrive at fallen the night on a rock plate or many caves would make an excellent shelter for the night. Équidus were shown very fast with the gallop and very flexible. But they balked to carry loads and were shown a little restive. What resulted in to slow down the progression of the caravan.
Norman looked at all Omaticayas which had followed them, mixed with the clan with the large rock. All similar, but also so different. However all were côtoyaient in greatest simplicity. They had proposed a material aid spontaneously to them, but also of accompanied. Without them, the voyage would have become more delicate. The clan of the large rock had appreciated much this help, they never missed an occasion to thank their Omaticyas brother.
The taken again tour, with far it saw the first buttresses which sheltered the rock plate, they were to reach before the night. With far, of heavy black clouds amoncelaient themselves, letting predict that the storm would come to disturb this voyage. The sky was lenient until their arriving on the plate. Very to tire by this rise, they took a heavy meal and quickly everyone lay down.
Only Norman and Tzé' tey remained somewhat to wake up. Their daughter had slept during a good part of the voyage and was in full form. The remainder of the night was strongly agitated by a violent storm. Fears of Norman, alas, were confirmed, the remainder of the voyage was going to be more difficult, they were to borrow the side of a hill and in against bottom a deep ravine.
At the small day under a beating rain they took again their voyages, they arrived at the entry of the procession, of small torrents tops carting of the branches and the stones ran. They continued their progression with prudence on the ground made dubious by the heavy showers. What apprehended more Norman, it was to be obliged to bivouac at the night in this place. No shelter favourable with the neighborhoods. Norman went at the head, Tzé' tey at its sides. After one moment of walk, it was turned over and looked at a group of latecomer, they were far from those which preceded them, S `it arrived an accident they would be too distant to help them.
The rain did not cease, the ground became more and more slipping slowing down and exhausting the walkers. It decided to make a halt in order to make it possible to the latecomer to join the group and everyone to rest a little.
Norman saw Équidus in difficulty, the poor animal in spite of its powerful members slipped unrelentingly towards the chasm, several Na' screw tried to retain the animal without success. Norman ran to lend to them hand-strong. They passed from the cords around the size the animal in order to maintain it. They managed to stabilize it, the animal panicked. Norman was connected to him and mentally tried to reassure it, connection and the words of Norman alleviated the animal. They undertook to lighten the animal. With great precautions avoiding abrupt gesture very in order not to frighten it more. Least clumsy movement could have tragic consequences.
Two other Na' screw had passed on the other side of Équidus, the back propped up on the side of the animal maintained it in a precarious balance.
The situation seemed to be stabilized, but a flash crossed the sky and struck a died tree in the vicinity. The deflagration made pull up the animal projecting everyone on the ground, Équidus fell on the side. Norman howled to him not to move. Na' screw which was on the other side of white beet slipped on mud, one of them had its safety with a close root which he clutched. Norman threw belly flat and caught the arm of the second and the longe of the animal of the other hand.
Tzé' tey howled of terror, all ran.
In the eyes of Na' VI that Norman retained, one could read the fear which it felt. The arms to quarter, Norman felt a very sharp pain. Grimaçant, the jaw to tighten, it fought not to release it taken. Normalized saw also other Na' VI, its position was not very enviable, but it held good.
That supported by Norman left its knife and planted it in the ground. While being held with the handle, it relieved the load which it endured. Several Na' screw had attached cords to a trunk and came to help their brothers.
The first was quickly hoisted towards a surer place, the second had a more delicate posture, it had to be contributed with master key the cord under its armpits, to the least error, it fell into the ravine. Once the tied cord, they russisèrent to hoist it. Norman, the muscles endoloris, was not able only to be rectified, slipping into mud, it was quickly helped. Everyone was except. Most difficult remained to be made. Équidus always on the ground pushed cries of fear. It could not be rectified, maintained by codes it did not risk any more to slip towards the close ravine, but the obstacles and agitation around him made nervous. Gently, they were able to make it slip towards a flatter place or finally it could go back on its legs.
Relieved, but exhausted, Na' screw thanked their savers. It was necessary to leave as fast as possible and to leave this very dangerous place, they discharged Équidus and transported the whole to back of man. The progression was always slowed down by a thick curtain of rains, the ground to soften offered little catch, everyone slipped dangerously. It was that the fallen night that the group could finally reach a more favourable place, the finally flat ground allowed a faster walk towards the so much hoped rock plate. To exhaust by all its efforts and covers of ground, they did not have any more the force to seek wood for fire, they were satisfied with a frugal meal and everyone fell asleep exténuer.
At daybreak, the sun reigned as a Master, the sky had finally finished pouring its water torrents, even if some clouds with far barred the horizon, it did not threaten them more. The voyage could begin again peacefully and it is of a good step that all the clan recovered on the way. Norman decided that once arrived at the large clearing, they would take a whole day of rest, decision which was approved by all. After several hours of walk, in the end-of-day they arrived in this large clearing where with one of the members of clan of the large rock and Jake, they had sealed their pacts of friendship. He found without sorrow the precise place, in this place a shrub with the blue and white flowers pushed They installed the bivouac for the night, Tzé' tey passed a good part of the evening to look after the multitudes of small wounds caused by their tour, fortunately nobody did not suffer from serious wound. Seul Norman still suffered from its tear of the muscle of the shoulder. Tzé' tey approached Norman, an odorous balsam in the hollow of the hand. It however massed gently its shoulder, but it could not repress a small cry of pain, the tear seemed more important than she thought it. It made him a kind of binding with large sheets and small thin straps of leather in order to immobilize its shoulder, Norman wanted to protest, but it closes its protests by one kissed on the mouth.
At dawn, Jake scanned the sky, anxious to see the thick clouds on the horizon. The wind seemed favourable and pushed the clouds in the opposite direction where Norman and its clan stays to suppose to be. Neytiri approached.
you are anxious for Norman?
Jake did not answer. But with its glance she saw the concern who corroded it, she pushed two small strident cries and its Ikran was posed with some step. It jumped on its back, that of Jake followed a few moments afterwards.
- Go, come, we go there.
It pushed a cry, its mounting flew away by pushing a long trumpeting, answering that of Neytiri. Jake enfourcha it his and they took the way of the east, that which would bring them towards the large clearing and Norman.
Jake had lengthily requested Eywa connected to the tree of the hearts so that it protects the travellers, but the storms violent one had made fear the worst in Jake and a night dream did not encourage it with serenity.
During their Jake flights seesaw the rivers to leave their bed and the torrents to pour impressive volumes of water and carting large tree trunk. They approached the place which failed to be fateful for many Na' VI. The hillsides were barred by impetuous water falls carting tree trunk and rock, the heart of Jake it would be, it feared the worst. Neytiri pushed a great cry of joy, it showed hand a column of smoke which went up towards the sky and in the direction of the large clearing, Norman was at this place. Jake made brutally transfer its Ikran which, surprised, released a cry of dissatisfaction ... xxxxxxxx ...
While arriving on the place, Neytiri made plunge to it his towards the clearing. Na' screw had already located them and expressed their joys by large signs. Norman pushed a cry by seeing Jake, really glad it to re-examine, even if it had been separate only a few days, the tests which it had crossed had made him fear never not to re-examine Neytiri and Jake.
They were lengthily étreignirent, happy to be re-examined, Neytiri was in the arms of Tzé' Tey and all Na' screw made the circle around them.
Norman told the adventures of the first part of the voyage, although it is there some casualty and of the property damages, nothing did not seem to deteriorate its optimism. Na' screw to gather around went their little stories and praised the exploit of their guide, which a little badly put Norman at ease to be in the center of all the conversations, Jake saw amused, the embarrassment that Norman tested. If Na' screw did not have faculty to redden, Norman passed to him to the dark blue.
At the end of this day, Jake and Neytiri took again the way of the clan, reassured to see that the voyage in spite of this incident could continue.

At the small day, the troop of Na' screw started the last part of the voyage. Course much easier, because it was done in cut plain of some not very dense forests, the many presence of game would ensure a food sufficient for everyone.
In spite of its shoulder which made it suffer even after the care from Tzé' Tey, it was obstinated to carry its own bag, tightening the teeth and perspiring because of the pain.
Omaticayas however already quite charged, removed its bag to him and in front of the authoritative glance of this one, Norman did not dare to protest. With the great relief of Tzé' Tey which had not succeeded in making him hear reason.
The voyage continued thus three days during and finally they all could admire this gigantic tree which will be their new residence.
To this vision, cries of jubilation assembled throat of all the troop making flee the wild animals.
They arrived at the feet of the tree and there, a surprise awaited them.
Old Omaticayas had sat on a stone framed by four young hunters, the arc with the hand. By seeing the first newcomer, they posed their arcs with ground what meant that it did not have a quarrelsome intention.
Norman approached them. Old Na' VI contemplated runes and without raising the head and of a soft voice, Norman greeted - Oe I nga Ti kame It returned its safety to him.
In spite of its great age, it rose highly, lengthily looked at it in silence and started to smiling Te here is finally Norman Spellman, I believed a long time that you were only one legend as that which we tell in the meals. But not. You exist well, the miracle about which with me spoke is, in front of me.
Norman fixed it a little surprised although accustomed to certain thing some unexplainable faith.
it is very rare that Eywa face a miracle like the tien, you must still have important things has to make for which is made the choice allow to remain in this body. Omaticayas had required it for Jakesully, but you, you were selected.
- but which spoke to you about me and of Jake. Asked Norman.
- a woman who is very expensive to you, as has Jake and good number of Omaticayas.
- Is Grace in life? - not in the direction of those which come from the sky But it is for the moment in another world, it does not put easy to explain you in a few words all that and they there in time of things still which you must learn, and I am there for that, with his request.
Norman obviously had evil to include/understand what the old man said to him, but taking into consideration this one, it understood that it had just begun a kind of voyage which was likely to be long and especially very complicated.
Although its knowledge to forget at the time of the passage of its spirit towards its misadventure returned by support, it was always pulled about between its science and the culture Na' screw, which for him was impressed many mysteries.
The only person who could perhaps allow him to include/understand certain things was at days of walk from here, and Mo' At could not undertake such a voyage. He started to regret to have returned freedom in its Ikran.
Already, Na' VI started to take possession of the places and to prepare the first bivouac in their new residences.
Will you offer hospitality to me? asked old Na' VI.
Norman tightened the steering arm of the tree with a smile.
- You and of the friends be the goods come in our residence, but I do not know your name yet.
- (brother of Etukan), but one more often calls me Karyu Norman fixed it, to astonish.
- J' were unaware of that it had a brother.
- Yes I am his brother, although we are not same father. I would explain you later why.
At the small day, work of installation began in the joy and as in a certain disorder as Norman had great difficulty managed, but letting make with their likings all this small world, that ends up being organized without too many problems. It will be necessary certainly several days before all that is finished, but at the end of the first day a certain comfort was available in Kelutral.
Some hunters are reflected in game search for the first meal in their new residence. The women to flower a small clearing us far from and first meal had been consumed in the joy, Norman was disappointed a little that Jake and Neytiri are not present.
The festivities continued with late in the night.
In the small hour everyone had the eyes encircled by the lack of sleeps, but work began again with the same spirit. The women are reflected to weave the hammocks, while the men affairaient themselves with heavier tasks. At the end of a few days, the tree was now perfectly livable and offered the comfort which Na' screw wished.
It was time for Omaticayas which it east had accompanied to take the way of the return. They all were cordially thanked for the assistance which they had brought for this tour and installations. Norman and Tzé' Tey made sure that they would not miss anything for the way return. The members of the new clan accompanied Omaticayas to the skirt of forest and looked at them moving away not without a certain emotion.
The great majority of those which had elected residence at this place was survivors of the clan of the large rock. But it did not wish to preserve this name although expensive at their heart, they wished to turn the page. After discusshaving lengthily discussed on the new name the clan, they would take the name of "olo' your Utral your pxay", the clan of the tree of peace The night had just fallen. Norman sitting at the top of a small hill contemplated the immense plain which bordered the drill. Listening to the noises which the wind brought to him, identifying the animals thanks to their cry, others were unknown for him, but grondement deaf and powerful indicated the presence of big games to him. L did not have a concern to be done for the supply meat, and the ground seemed of good quality for the few cultures of the clan.
Believing itself only, it was surprised to sing, a song which Na' screw sing when they are far away from the clan.
It only felt in spite of the presence of its new clan, never it had not felt this impression, even during its initiation where it had had to spend several days in the forest.
- Do you miss Your friends?
Norman was turned over, the brother of Etukan had sat behind him as a tailor. He did not answer.
He concerned himself and approached Norman.
- The situation in which you are is not easy, but you will see, with time and a little my assistance, if you accept it, the things will be arranged.
Norman smiles to him sadly.
- Jake knows to him how carried out the men, it is a warrior, his experiment of his life to pass are useful for him, month I know only the laboratories….
you surprise me, I thought that you knew better than that the character of Na' screw.
He says while smiling - Na' VI will not follow another by what it can carry out well a troop, it will follow it by what it respects it and which it makes him confidence and that it finds it just. Jake helped Na' screw to push back those which come from the sky, for that it was allowed within the clan, it became about it the chief by the will of Tsu' Tey in heritage; then it made this evidence as a chief, they judged it on these acts for the clan, but not as a warrior?
Do you include/understand better now?
Somewhat reassured, Norman smiles, they had included/understood that for a long time, but to hear it on behalf of Na' VI consolidated it in its ideas.
- You bear the name of "brother of Etukan and you say to me that you are not same father, I will like to include/understand.
- That goes back to strong a long time, Etukan was still very young, at that time I belonged to a wandering clan and we had installed our camping not far from the clan of Omaticayas. Their chief was already very old and Etukan were going to soon to succeed him, we had taken the practice to drive out together. Being older than him, one had entrusted the task to me to supplement his initiation on the knowledge of the medicinal plants and that which is useful for the poison of our arrows. It was a little intrepid and especially carefree man.
This last remark made it smile.
- One morning it left to only drive out, and as it delayed returned, we left has its research. I ended up finding it the back have a tree surrounded by wolf vipers, I arrived at the good moment, one of the animals had jumped to him on him and tried to bite it with the throats. I just had the time of drawn an arrow which killed clear the animal.
When he was chief of the clan, he gave me the title of brother and the right to bear his name to thank me for having saved the life to him, which is very an great honor.
After that, our ways separated.
He lengthily looked at the plain which was stretched in front of its eyes and fixed a point at far.
- We will not be alone to drive out in this plain, another clan drives out in this place.
Norman in vain scanned the plain, it did not see anything nor nobody, it mobilized all its direction and ends up perceiving a light cooked meat odor which could not come from here.
- they make cook meat Etukan looked at it surprised.
- It had been said to me that you did not have your similar to feel game by far, I see that your reputation is not exaggerated, go, it time for us also to eat.
Late the Normam evening returns with Tzé' tey on this small headland, he likes calm night and these in his rare moments that he can be alone with his wife and their daughter. The bioluminescence of the plants is with its apogee and colors the horizon of a multitude of luminous spots. A cry boring and a powerful beat of wings made them raise the head; the ikran of Norman had found them. He which never thought of re-examining it. He had ended up regretting it, even if he often did not overlap it, he never failed to bring delicacies to him and to be connected to him. A faith on the ground it rubbed its powerful muzzle against the chest of Norman which cherished the head to him, the return of sound ikran would enable him to return a visit in Omaticayas and certainly of another service. They remained a long moment has this place contemplated the landscape, gained by tiredness they joined the other members of the clan for one night of refreshing sleep.
The period of the storms was finished, time made a truce, favourable moment for hunting. The weak wind which blew vis-a-vis them masked their odors. They were a small score hunters to divide into two groups, a tracker had located a méthabetes, a young male, although even very young people this animal can kill any chasseuse with its rostre on the muzzle, a little like an rhinoceros. This one was to have more than 1 year to judge by its already impressive size. To kill this animal equipped with a very hard carapace, there is one place or the hunter can plant an arrow or a lance, at the base of the neck, place where are the respiratory openings.
The tall grasses limited the field of view of the hunters, they operated to approach the animal by the sides. Norman with the head of the one of the two groups accompanied by Fère d' Etukan, they progressed slowly not to be heard animal, they heard its breathing and could feel its odor acre.
Norman was addressed to the hunter nearest and whispered to him - It is a young male in rut, it is likely to be very aggressive, are careful.
The message was quickly relayed of hunter with hunter. Norman circumvented a rock and this found discovered vis-a-vis the imposing animal. Its blood was frozen, of a sign of the hand, everyone solidified on the spot, even if this animal sees badly by far its vision of loan and its sense of smell is perfect.
The animal had seen Norman, but perhaps not the other hunters, but it was known in great danger. The least movement of anyone, the animal would charge and even in the escape there would be no safety, are aggressiveness is proportional to its size. Norman thought of the manner of saving this dead end.
The animal fixed it its black eyes and its raucous breathing made vibrate its tympanums, gently Norman tried to move back, the animal took a step ahead. The other hunters behind assisted to petrify with the scene, it reconsidered with the capture of sound ikran, although the distance which separated them was larger, it thought of being able to approach sufficiently. Gently, it approached the ground, millimetre per millimetre, that seemed to last an eternity. All its movements were done with the idle, but it gained ground without the animal moving.
It was at good distance, ready to leap when a well-known whistle was made hear and a hardly red arrow was planted in one of the respiratory openings of the animal which crumbled.
The shooting had been carried out to perfection. Hardly given Norman of its surprise contemplated the corpse of the méthabetes and the always fixed arrow in the neck of the animal.
Four hunters to leave tall grasses, Norman posed on the ground its knife, the members of are clan made some in the same way, the newcomers imitated them.
- Oe tika maé launched Norman.
They answered their safety while smiling.
We track the same animal, declared the first hunter, it removed the arrow of the animal by reciting the prayer.
you belonged to those which settled in the large tree?
Norman answered by the affirmative.
- We have observed you for several days and we were on the point of coming to see you, we drove out this animal in order to offer to you a meal of good come on our grounds. Your presence has this place indeed was useful to us, but you took a very large risk with this animal, it will be necessary you to learn has to drive out them.
This last remark the hunter had done it while smiling.
Norman started to laughing, the nerves released it a little after this test. It looked at the animal lying on the ground.
- this animal returns to you from right as it is you who to kill it. Moreover, like you me to save the life, they is least things to offer it to you and it would not be friendly of my by disputing it to you and I am very grateful to you for your gesture.
The hunter posed its hand on the shoulder of Norman.
- Your recognition is enough for me amply, and for this animal, it was intended for a meal which we tell to offer to you while coming to your meeting.
In front of the surprise of Norman, the hunter could not be retained to emit a frank laughter, to laugh begun again by everyone.
- I name myself Héliaste of the clan of Aliomake, I will make warn our chief of our meeting.
He turned to a hunter, which agreed of a sign of head and left a such arrow.
Norman proposed its assistance for the cutting of the méthabetes.
- I thank you for your assistance, but as this animal is intended for a ritual, it is with us us occupied of that.
- I have a last thing to ask you, would agree you to exchange me the arrow which was used to you to kill this animal and at the same time to save me the life against one of the miennes.
- I would be honoured with it, answered it while smiling.
Norman knew that by this barter more than symbolic system, this Na' VI would become a friend, a faithful and honest friend. He appreciated hunter with the smiling face and with the frank glance, some by he recalled him one of the hunters which had initiated it.
All greeted and took leave, the meeting was fixed at the following day evening. On the way of the return, they drove out small games in order to ensure the meals to come.
To arrive to the clan, Tzé' tey awaited Norman, it highly reproached him its lack of prudence and then embraced it, with the great recreation of all. A hunter entonna a song with it was a torrid question of meeting again, Norman have the constrained mine while Tzé' tey was hilarious A woman na' VI had slipped to him with the ear - J' hopes that it will not be tired this evening The day finished in good mood, the events to pass had put their nerves at hard tests, a little distraction did not make of evil to anybody, Norman benefitted from it to make a short inventory of the objects which they had brought with them. He ended up finding the object of that seeks, a transmitting set, only concession made with the modern world.
He unfolded the antenna and made sure of the operation of the apparatus, he called the center, at the end of several attempts, he finally succeeds in obtaining somebody and has to give their news. He specifies to make follow to the clan of Omaticayas the breaking news.
- Jake will be towards 20:00 in the center, you will be able to speak to him. He explained, the voice, in the loudspeaker.
Norman looked at amusing the radio and pressed the contactor of the microphone.
- you would not have the address of a clock and watch maker? My watch is broken.
The radio operator operator burst of laughing, he had forgotten that Norman had released a certain modern lifestyle and that he did not make any more use of the hours which passes and that Jake was in the same one was of spirit. Moreover, Omaticayas did not count time to run out in the same way, the hours were for them a completely incomprehensible concept.
Late in the evening, it succeeds in speaking in Jake and giving him reassuring news. Jake and Neytiri could not come to visit them before several days, a bad weather and activities specific to the clan would not enable them to come quickly.
The day of the following day was devoted to the preparation of the festival which their hosts had announced. Being unaware of the number of guests, it was necessary to release from the place so that everyone can be well installed, any piece of wood, stock or anything else obstructing the preparations was to remove only wood was preserved carried hand.
End of the afternoon, the accesses of the tree was to release offering a broad sufficient place to accommodate the guests.
Norman was a little anxious, it did not know anything with the protocol necessary to this type of meeting. It got information with the meadows of "brother of Etukan" which informed it on this situation - They should be received most simply possible, you will have to be in front of with your wife and your daughter, the clan behind you. It is you who in first will have to greet it as it is you who accommodate it in your clan, for the remainder, lets speak your heart.
Norman was reassured, nothing to complicate, with the image of Na' screw, the things must remain simple. It was nevertheless one can nervous, it was its first strong act in time that chief of clan.
With far, of the musical instruments and the songs were made hear, their hosts arrived, everyone is placed behind Norman and his wife who carries their daughter in the arms.
The chief of the clan of Aliomake arrived preceded by their chief, his wife and his two children. They were vêtus sobrement, only a long red cape pointed out its state of chief, Norman, anything did not show that he was the chief of the clan. He was trot late for avoided has details himself.
The chief of the clan stopped in front of Norman, it raised the hand calmly and the songs and the music stopped.
He was much larger than the average of Na' screw and a scar barred the face to him, he had the hard glance, but without severity. Norman greeted it ritual formula while being inclined slightly and pronounced a sentence of welcome.
The chief always looked at it without anything saying, but a light smile was posted on its face, at the end of interminable second, he greeted Norman in his turn and a broad smile illuminated its austere face.
The chief was turned over, raised the arms to the sky and another song started also early and the women advanced with small bouquets of flower white which they gave to the women of the clan while the men were going to greet the hunters.
Norman invited it to take seat beside fire, they settled face to face, the others took seat around them, a merry hubbub reigned.
- Norman, although I know that small parties of your history will make you to me it honor tell it to me Norman, war to accustom to speak about itself told its history, the chief listened to it very attentively, although certain thing to obviously escaped him it listened to it without never stopping it, everyone had made silence.
Its finished history, the chief of Aliomake remained a few moments to be reflected, many questions turned in its head, but it estimated that with time, Normam could explain the things to him which it did not include/understand.
- We learned what the men who come from the sky one subjects Na' VI and in Omaticayas. We did not take by has this war, had taught we it too late, but if one day they need my hunters to defend their ground and their life, they will be able to count on us.
The chief had risen to pronounce this sentence and all the hunters of the two clans to hold up their arc by pushing a great cry.
The chief made come a water-bottle and tightened it has Norman, it thought which contained a light beer very to appreciate of Na' screw. It of it was nothing, it contained a very strong alcohol that failed Norman régurgiter, the tears went up to him to the eyes and that gorges burned it, the chief drank in his turn and was found in the same state, he says has Norman.
- here is a habit that I would do well readily.
And they left in a common giggle to reflect soon by all the guests.
Women and men arrived, carrying broad sheets where the meal was been useful and a group of woman and man is reflected to dance in the middle of the assembly, to accompany by percussions and instruments wind.
The meal was announced merry, the men and the women fraternized, and even some couples were formed.
- The hot season will be rich in marriages, that will be very beneficial for our two clans.
The night advanced, the festival continued to punctuate dances and fields, hunting stories were told The chief of Aliomake rose - with your permission, I would like to address to me to your clan like with the mien.
Norman tightened the hand towards the assembly, meaning to him that it could speak.
The indicator upright a raised arm, everyone made silence - So Eywa is pilot of this incipient friendship and which protects it and protect us all, I would like to make address this prayer to him, it is a first very old which goes back to the first songs of our world.
It was put at knees, closed the eyes and started to request aloud.
Norman immediately recognized this prayer, it was the same one as the old hunter had made in the large clearing or Jake had joined them, he remembered the words and pronounced too them.
When the prayer was completed, it opened the eyes and looked at astonished Norman.
- how this is possible that you know this prayer, it is known only by some clan and few hunters know it.
- This prayer was marked in another occasion, by an old hunter of the clan of the large rock, it is with the survivors of this clan that we founded this clan.
Obviously, it did not know what it was occurred of this clan and Norman told him the tragedy and their arrivals at Omaticayas The chief of the clan seemed cut down after the explanations of Norman.
- It is a very heavy loss for the people na' VI, this clan still held something of very invaluable, more invaluable than the life, there is a thing which arrived in this clan, a birth which would have changed many things.
He there with very a long time, I was very young, a couple gave rise to a son. On its chest it carried the mark of Eywa, a spot in the form of tree of the hearts, it is known as that which would carry this mark would become powerful Tsaick and would be the eyes of Eywa. It can hear, but do not see our world. And for this reason, it should leave its clan to follow there the lesson of largest Tsaick. This child was entrusted to a known wandering tribe for his great rigor and the quality of their teaching, as he attended many clans, the child would follow the precepts of several Tsaick.
It is known as also that it would return among his and that he would become the chief of his clan and that he would bring happiness, and that he always travels accompanied by young hunters. It is known as that if its body were too wounded it can take the body of those which he accompanies it.
A voice rose audience.
- Your history is partly true, but from there to take a body, that is not possible, except with the science of those which come from the sky.
- Are you sure? This history was often told to me by different people.
Rétorqua a little curtly the chief.
The hunter which had spoken raised and came close to fire, Norman immediately recognized brother of Etukan, as he had travelled much. It could be that it crossed are way, being itself large Tsaick, had it' it had like disciple?
Gently, it untied the bond which retained a leather drill plate on its chest and in the gleam of fire, the spot appeared with the eyes of all. A murmur went up assembled 8.1 The return of the child of the village The survivors of the clan of the large rock rose one by one and approached brother of Etukan, oldest of them observed the task, it was turned over.
- J' stays present when it was born, I do not have any doubt, it is well him, I attended his departure whereas he was still a child. I was not much older than him, but I remember all that very well.
Norman rose has its turn and looked at brother of Etukan, definitely, it held many surprises.
you should perhaps have spoken to me about all that says Norman a little aggravated.
- there are things which can be said only to the good moment; would you have believed me if I had told you this history?
Norman reflects one moment, it is true that if he had told him this history, he would have certainly some difficulty it of believing as long as this character is ambiguous, of the remainders of its old life perhaps.
Norman left its reflection smiles to him by putting the hand to him on the shoulder.
- Do not waste this festival under discussion useless, you found part of hold, we all are here this evening to seal a durable friendship, we will have time well to learn how to know us. On its words the festivities began again, brother of Etukan surrounded by the survivors of his clan kept a little away, but anybody of allowed the least remark.
In the small hour, everyone had the eyes reddened by tiredness, but this festival would remain to engrave in the memory of each one as long as it was rich in emotion and joys. Norman and the chief of the héliastes étreignirent himself lengthily, other couples had also evil to separate and already of the noises circulated on some pastoral frolicking that only Eywa was pilot.
The day was devoted at rest, everyone exhausted by this insane night did not have courage to give of the order. That would be given to the following day.
The places had taken again their country of origin, it remained food sufficient so that everyone can benefit from this day to be occupied with occupations personal. Norman enjoyed this day in company of Tzé' tey and of their daughter, brother of Etukan, surrounded as of his answered multiple questions and some young girls of the close clan had invited themselves and flirtait with hunters.
Many weeks were passed since this memorable festival, the bringing together of the two clans produces many beneficial things for all. It could not make use any more of the radio and to give its news to Jake nor in the center, the batteries were discharged and the small solar panels which had into assured the refill did not function.
Norman learned how to know brother of Etukan which told him its history and its course. However there remains very discrete on its abilities being able to speak in Eywa, pretexting that it is too signal to give certain explanations and that Norman has still a long way to traverse before including/understanding all subtleties which governs this world.
Normalized and its clan also as learned the method as uses Héliastes for hunting for the méthabetes, it very simple, but effective. When an animal is located, the hunters are divided into several binomials and position around the animal. As the very tall grasses obstruct the vision considerably, with each time they traverse a certain distance, a hunter climbs on the back of another and observes the places quickly. Thus they can approach their prey without being made locate and under the best possible angle in order to be able to kill it out of only one arrow The evening fell gently, grondement deaf very remote was made hear, everyone scanned the neighborhoods in order to know from which this noise came, some had taken their arcs. The noise became increasingly strong, Norman ends up recognizing this noise, it was that of a helicopter, an icy shiver will traverse the back to him and he says himself It is not possible, they nevertheless did not already return.
He saw finally the flying machine, he carried blue and white colors, the colors of Trudy Normalized shouted Do not fear anything, they are friends!
The machine was much more imposing than that usually controlled Trudy. Its state was very dilapidated and a worrying black smoke escaped from one of the engines, finally transfered with the vertical of the steering shaft of a vast clearing not far.
Norman left a such arrow in the same direction, followed by everyone.
To arrive on the spot the machine had landed in the center of the clearing, it presented the face postpones or are the trap doors giving access the compartment.
The doors opened, and on the platform was Jake, Neytiri like Mo' At, Trudy and Atzenko made their appearances The small group started to advance when a powerful howling was made hear in the subsoils of the apparatus, Thanator made its appearance. On his back the son of Jake and Neytiri posting was perched a great smile like a kid content with a nun joke.
In crowd, a small wave of panic was felt, Norman had an alleviating gesture of the hand. It advanced towards their hosts, and greeted them in the tradition na' VI before throwing itself in the arms of Jake, the others surrounding them.
Its meeting again were greeted by a bench offered by all the members of the clan. Jake looked at surprised the great number of Na' screw present.
- J' have many things to tell you. Say Norman while smiling.
It had hardly finished its sentence which a modulated whistle made hear among tall grasses, Norman answered has signal in the same way. Large grasses, left a good number of Na' screw carrying arcs and arrows. Loans with the combat taken along by the chief of Aliomake Norman left ahead of of them and returns with the chief and some hunters. It made the presentations.
- Here thus your friends who are expensive in your heart, I am very happy to make your knowledge, Norman spoke to me so much about you.
Norman invited everyone to go to Kelutral.
In way Norman pressed Jake of thousand questions, it wanted asset of the news, Jake did not have time to answer him that another arrived, also had thousand questions to him to pose to him.
The presence of Thanator threw some fears within the clan, all were held with good distance of the animal which trottinait beside Neytiri, the child always to perch on his back.
It reigned a merry tumult around the newcomers, everyone wanted greeted, Norman of resigned to wait one more favourable moment to be alone with his friends. The former members of the clan of the large rock as well as Omaticayas which had followed Norman wanted to have news of their friends remained with the clan. Jake and Neytiri had great difficulty to answer everyone. Trudy and Mo' At were monopolized they also by the young girls and the women who were charmed to re-examine them.
A little with the variation were held a hunter, marked by time and the life, an young woman was held with her with dimensions. Although the face of the man did not express any feeling, its spirit was in effervescence, it knew that in a few hours a long story would finish which had lasted nearly fifty. He was the guard of a heavy prophecy which finally finished, he was going finally to be able to enjoy a well deserved rest.
- do you believe that it will accept your requests? asked the young woman.
- C' is a man good and right, I do not fear his answer, but holds it yes.
- Which that is to say its answer I would follow you has it or you will go.
