Finally, it was the day for the final task for Ryan to be completely ready. Soleuri and Ryan had gotten up early, like before when Soleuri first showed Ryan how to hunt. But, the forest was very humid, which meant hunters will have a bit of difficulties tracking one of Pandora's large forest beast. A few other hunters were also prepared for their final task. Each one, being four of them, had one of the mature hunters go take them hunting in the different parts of forest to not cross paths. Soleuri and Ryan wandered into the forest to try and find a trail to lead them to some beast. After thirty minutes, with the sun light not quite up but made the darkish blue sky from above a mountain in the far distance start to turn in a lighter blue with a peach like color line separating them, Ryan found a track. Ryan looks around, smelling the air for any scent of a Krya'mok or any other beast. He started to find more and more tracks, which were starting to get fresh showing he was getting close to finding a beast. And then right when Ryan and Soleuri were going to go through a bush nearly Ryan's height, a Krya'mok reveals itself by making a sound. They quickly hide behind the bush and quietly peek through. There it was, a Krya'mok that was eating vegetation that was growing in the forest floor, not knowing it was being observed.

Soleuri looks at Ryan speaking in a very low voice, "Ok Ryan, here's your opportunity. Remember, be silent, relax, take aim, and fire."

Ryan nods his head once and takes out an arrow. He carefully places it and slowly pulls the string back. But then, when he was going to take aim, lifting the bow, he steps on a dry twig. The Krya'mok notices Ryan and starts to evade. Ryan and Soleuri start to chase after it, especially Ryan not letting it out of his sight. Ryan saw the Krya'mok run through thick bushes and other vegetation ahead, knowing it would slow the Krya'mok a bit, but mainly slow him down. Ryan notices a large broken branch on his left, with the tip touching the ground. Ryan runs up the branch and starts running also on the other tree branches ahead to get a good view on the Krya'mok. Meanwhile Ryan was running up on the branches, Soleuri heads to her right, grabbing onto a branch, swings as high as she can, and grabs onto thick vines hanging from the tree branches above. Ryan notices her swinging while he runs. The Krya'mok had gotten tired from running and jumping through bushes, Ryan passes it, without it knowing. Ryan sees an opportunity with the distance now between him and the Krya'mok. He quickly jumps and climbs down to a clearing in the forest. As light was starting to shine in the sky Ryan got his bow and arrow ready taking aim towards a couple of big bushes where the Krya'mok will appear. As predicted, the Krya'mok comes ramming through the bushes up ahead. Soleuri swings onto a branch, getting a good view at Ryan with the Krya'mok charging towards him.

Soleuri yells with a worried look on her face, "Shoot it!"

Ryan fires the arrow, but misses, the arrow sticking to the ground by the ground as the Krya'mok charges on.

"Ryan run! Get out of its way!" Soleuri yells from the branch trying to jump off to help him.

But instead, Ryan prepares his bow and arrow, with the Krya'mok just a few yards from him. Ryan relaxes and takes aim at the Krya'mok closing in. He fires the arrow, hitting the Krya'mok on the left side of the neck, into its heart. Ryan watches as the Krya'mok still charging at him starts tripping and falls right at his feet. Soleuri quickly climbs down and goes to where the Krya'mok has fallen. She sees Ryan take out his dagger and walks to the left side of the Krya'mok, which was heavily breathing, wanting to cry out but couldn't.

Ryan starts the ritual crouching by the near dead beast, "Oel ngati kameie, ma tsmukan, ulte ngaru seiyi ireiyo."

He stabs his dagger into the Krya'mok's chest killing it, holding it in, "Ngari hu Eywa saleu tirea, tokx 'ì'awn slu Na'viyä hapxì."

Soleuri walks next to Ryan and crouches by him, "It was a clean kill. You are ready now Ryan."

Ryan at Soleuri, "Well I guess it's time to do my part now."

"Yes, but before you do, I think it is best you get your Ikran first. Come now, let's see if the others have been successful in their hunts, to start preparing you for when you for when you face your Ikran."

"You mean it will try to kill me?"

"Yes, it is the only way you'll know it has chosen you."

"Ok, well we should get started right away."

They both grab one of the Krya'mok's legs each and start dragging it back to the village.

It is nearly noon, next to the village, Soleuri with the assistance of two other warriors are preparing Ryan along with the other four young hunters who were successful in their hunts. Soleuri gave a signal to the other warriors to pick up big branches carved to look like the Ikran heads with open mouths.

Soleuri starts the lesson, "When your Ikran chooses you, it will try to kill you. To make tsaheylu with it, you must first strap its mouth shut with the ropes you have. It will not be easy; you must avoid getting bit, for it will strike fast. We will teach you how to bond the Ikran's mouth, a technique past down for ages. Once you are able to make tsaheylu with it, you must quickly fly with it to complete tsaheylu."

Soleuri gives the signal for one of the warriors to get ready to strike at her and for her to show the students how to bond the Ikran's mouth. The warrior strikes at her as an Ikran would. She quickly throws one end of the rope into the Ikran's mouth and even though the rope doesn't quite go all the way around, the students get the idea.

"Now you all will try to do the same. We will practice before we go to the flying mountains."

And so they practiced until everyone got the hang of it.

It was a bit after noon and everyone was climbing a mountain side while on a Dire Horse. They reach a large vine like bridge connecting to one of the closest floating large rocks. They all start to climb it and climb another vine like bridge, but with a few smaller rocks entangled in them. Soon they all start climbing a couple of vines growing together forming a wall on the side of a huge mountain side. As Ryan climbs, he looks up and notices a couple of Ikrans flying high above. Once they got to a flat surface, they had to go through a cave to reach an Ikran's nest where there would be a lot of them. They finally reach it, there were Ikrans resting on the ground, others among the more elevated rocks, while others were flying around. Ryan along with the younger warriors were looking nervous, but excited for what was going to happen.

Soleuri then stands in front of the group to inform them, "Ok, this is the Ikrans home. You all will have to go and find your Ikran and it must choose you as said before. Move quickly and do whatever it takes to make tsaheylu with it. So who will go first?"

The young warriors looked at each other, but as Ryan saw that no one was stepping forward so he decided to.

"I guess I'll go." Ryan said stepping forward.

Ryan was given one of the ropes and he put his bow on the side of the cave's wall, and stepped into the sun light out of the cave where the Ikrans saw him walking. The others watched Ryan walking around trying to find his Ikran. Ryan walked a bit slow, testing each Ikran with a sudden gesture to see which one would be up for a challenge, but the Ikrans would back off or fly away. Until Ryan gets to a dark but light blue Ikran which was not fleeing and was showing it's sharp teeth indicating it will attack him.

Ryan begins to swing the rope preparing for the Ikran to strike, "Come on then tough guy, let's see what you got."

Everyone watched as the Ikran positioned itself to strike at Ryan. And in an instant the Ikran tries to bite Ryan, but he was quick to act and threw one end of the rope into its mouth having it wrap around so the Ikran couldn't open it. Ryan jumps on the back of the neck, struggling to grab a hold of one of the antennas. The Ikran hovers over the ground and flies into a rock wall, scraping and tearing the rope off its mouth.

Soleuri sees the rope tear off its mouth and yells at Ryan, "Ryan! You must get off! It is too dangerous the rope has been ripped off!"

Ryan was still fighting to bond with the Ikran which knocked him off starting to take flight. Ryan quickly runs towards to the edge of the cliff to grab a hold of the Ikran's legs.

Soleuri yells louder to Ryan, "No! Don't do it Ryan!"

But Ryan gains speed and flies into the air off the mountain, grabbing the Ikran's legs. The Ikran tries to bite Ryan while he swings hoping to climb onto its back. The Ikran starts to fall down trying to flap its wings to fly higher. Everyone came out of the cave, watching Ryan and the Ikran fly around in front of the mountain down below and near other floating rocks, watching as Ryan finally gets on the Ikran's back. Ryan grabs onto the Ikran's right shoulder and tries to grab onto its left antennae, but the Ikran fights back hitting Ryan with the top of its head. But then, right when Ryan grabs one of the antennae and his pony tail to make tsaheylu, the Ikran flies close to one of the floating mountain's base. Ryan notices it and sees he has no choice but to get off the Ikran. He gets up and jumps up grabbing a few vines forming a net on the bottom. He grabs on and watches his Ikran fly away making a disappointed face while catching his breath. Ryan carefully climbs up to a small flat surface on the mountain's side. Soleuri Looks around and doesn't see Ryan and his Ikran anymore. She calls out for T'siguway and flies to search for Ryan, while the other older warrior sends out the other young ones to get their Ikrans. Soleuri fortunately finds Ryan by the mountain where he was waiting at and picks him up. It was near sunset and the sun made an orange glow on the mountains. Everyone, except Ryan, was able to get their own Ikran, and were heading home on them. Ryan was riding with Soleuri like before.

Soleuri looks back at Ryan, "Do not worry Ryan, we'll try again tomorrow."

Ryan looks back at the mountains, seeing where his Ikran was staying at.

Ryan opens his avatar's eyes. It was midnight and everyone was asleep in the tree. He quietly gets up from his hammock so he wouldn't wake Soleuri up and others. He climbs down from the branches, but before he could leave, he thought he heard Soleuri wake up, so he turned around to see. Soleuri was just rotating to her left side away from Ryan still sleeping. Ryan goes into the corral to get a Dire Horse to get to the Hallelujah Mountains. When he mounted a horse, he thought he heard something in the trees somewhere, but saw no one and continued on his way. After climbing back into the cave, Ryan saw that the Ikrans were sleeping, and so he tipped toed in the open spaces looking for his Ikran. He found it, sleeping in a low rock with a direct path to it. As before, he tipped toed quietly making sure he doesn't wake the surrounding Ikrans up. But one of the Ikrans on a higher ground woke up and saw Ryan moving among the group. It started to cry out waking the other Ikrans. Ryan then runs towards his Ikran which also woke up seeing Ryan was only fifteen feet from him. Right when he was going to bite Ryan, Ryan moves out of the way grabbing its neck and swings himself onto its back. The fight starts all over again in the air, but this time the Ikran is flying everywhere trying to lose Ryan. Ryan holds on, with his pony tail on his right hand and the other on the left antennae. The Ikran then is one hundred six yards flying towards a mountains flying straight, giving Ryan the chance to bond. Ryan is able to make the connection with his Ikran, making it nearly lose control. Ryan panics a little as he sees they're heading to a mountain. Ryan quickly thinks of something and tries it out.

"Go down!" Ryan yells at his Ikran hoping the thought would work.

His now Ikran quickly dives down parallel to the mountain side with Ryan a few inches away from it. Then after leveling out straight, he tries out his Ikran trying to see how to control it making a few turns and maneuvers. Then from a mountain nearby, Soleuri and the young and older warriors from the day start to fly alongside with him.

Soleuri calls out to Ryan with joy, "Congratulations! You have your own Ikran now!"

Ryan smiles at Soleuri. The group starts to fly around the mountain and head back to the village.
