DISCLAIMER:don't own,don't sue and please review. :oP
Despite her victory over opening this Na'vi like Male's ears to her voice,he still did not seem to be aware of her existence. Similar to her Na'vi when they had first sprang from her womb,they had often refer to her voice to inner instinct until they understood that it was Eywa that advised them. She intended to do the same with this odd sky creature like Na'vi. But unlike her Na'vi, She would need to bond with him completely in order to fully understand him and his pack-mates odd growls. Growls that she beginning to suspect was in fact an language vastly different from her children's, whose she could comprehend without effort.
Hours passed,while the Male's pack-mates fruitlessly search for their missing member by air, only giving up with the approach of night. During this time, he had paused briefly in his movements to fasten an fairly decent spear out of river drift wood. Then once again be-gain to roamed ever more deeply into her forest; causing most of her surrounding flora to alight themselves from his passage as night fell. Eywa examined the wooden staff critically utilizing the eyes of her fan-lizard hovering just beyond his eyesight. Well done for an belt knife,she mused and would serve him well until she delivered him into the care of her children,the Na'vi. But her first task,she mused, was too lure the male to her Vitraya Ramunon willow. It would be there and only there could she make the bond to her liking.
Her fan lizard floated further away,causing Eywa to transfer her sight to an Nan-kith fox that popped his slender gray head out of his underground burrow as the Na'vi like male enter the small woodland meadow where it hid. The glade awash in the dim light of the double Sister Moons and the faint blue bio-luminescence glow of Eywa's reed grass. Only lit when disturb by the lone Male's misshapen feet. Through Nan-kith did Eywa take in the pandoran scent of her soil, the unfolding sweetness of white Uma vine blossoms draping themselves unseen, the smell of river water and sweat clinging to the skin of sky creature like Na'vi. She also heard by Nan-kith the wild night calls of his fellows foraging ongoing acts of living and dieing. That was nearly drown out by the sound of the Na'vi like Male's unusually heavy footsteps giving away his position to Nan-kith and his underground kin. A bit frighten but more noisy as to what was making such an ruckus that set the entire clearing a glow. Nan-kith creep further out of his burrow. The small grey beast scurried quickly through the lit grasses until he spied the lone male moving through the glade. Stupid Na'vi pup making ground thunder, Nan-kith snarled. He watched, bearing his fangs at the Male's retreating legs when his eight beady eyes caught sight of Atokirina wood spirits dancing upon the meadow air. Nan-kith drew back sharply when the Atokirina be gain to sing and amassed themselve upon the blue hide of the thunder maker and ran back to his litter with his two whip like tails tucked firmly between his legs.
Eywa left Nan-kith, no longer needing his many eyes with her arrival of her Atokirina. Relieved that she had so many, she be gain to sing through her Atokirina, putting the sky creature into an light trance. She had dimly recollected in primal youth, that she had lured many an prey in an similar fashion , she had kept them alive in order to feed on their life's blood. Eywa, then shaking off the hazy images of her adolescence when the male some how snapped out of from her spell. Grimly, she willed her swarm of Atokirina to stab their numerous stingers in the Na'vi like Male's flesh. Eywa flinched at the volume of the Na'vi like Male's howling. He desperately clawed at the Atokirina,dropping his spear in order to tear them from his body. But all he managed was to cause Eywa's will to latched themselves more tightly onto his flesh. She wept with bitter sympathy as she gently released her ancient but ever potent venom into his bloodstream. The lone male ceased his struggles shortly after.
"There now, the Goddess crooned sadly as he sagged next to his fallen spear, it's not so bad my child, is it?" "I promise to make it better soon, sang Eywa, as she compelled her sky creature like Na'vi to rise upward, grasping his staff in hand. Then nudged him gently to move into the shadows beneath her trees. " You belong to me now, little one."
