HELLO FOLKS. THE OTHER DAY I WAS WATCHING AVATAR WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND THIS STORY JUST KIND OF TOOK SEED IN MY BRAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF I'LL CONTINUE IT OR NOT. BUT I FELT LIKE I HAD TO SHARE.

Jakesully sighed. High above him in the branches of the home tree he could see lights flickering, songs, and laughter carried along the wind and met his ears. His people were happy; his clan was safe, and thriving. Why then did he have such a feeling of dread in his chest? Looking up at the stars Jake sighed again. 5 years. It had been 5 years since the human's had been driven off world. At first things had been awkward, ships that had left earth before the revolt, would arrive and find no base or safe zone for them to land on. So a system was worked out. Each ship was allowed to land one at a time and refuel before leaving the planet and going back to earth with the message that they were no longer welcome on Pandora. But now only on occasion would the old research facility would pick up a ship's engine signature, but with no way of going into space there was little they could do about it.

Sighing again Jake continued on his walk. Things had changed in the time since human's had left. Many of the old human facilities had been torn down or felt to decay. Only a few stations still remained, and they were fastly reaching the end of their operational lifespan. Only the main research facility was kept up and maintained regularly, and that was only at Augustine's demand. She'd refused to abandon the facility, and instead had spent the first 3 months living there on her own. When Jake had asked her why she stayed she had shrugged and simply told him it was to valuable to let go. At first Jake had not believed her but then slowly over time he changed his mind.

.

Every decade Pandora was wracked by a monstrous storm season. Winds strong enough to tear trees and their roots from up from the ground, rains that stung like bullets against the skin. And flash floods that happened so sudden they could catch even the most vigilant off guard. When the storms had hit Jake had scrambled to save as much as he could, but it had been Augustine who had saved the clan. She'd told Jake that the base would survive the storms and that if everyone got in before the storms hit they would survive. That season rather than loosing a third of the clan as they usually did; they lost only 3 Na'vi. Grace had been called a hero and from Jake had heard several Na'vi men had begun trying to court her. Sighing again Jake closed his eyes. things were good, why then was he so worried?

"having trouble sleeping again?" Jake felt his blood run cold. He knew that voice, although it had been 5 years since he'd heard it or even seen its source. Turning Jake narrowed his eyes as he came to face the jet black Na'vi with the blood red markings. "What are you doing here?" grum shrugged. "just thinking." Jake cocked his head. "about what?" grum looked at him sadly. "about how if you knew what I knew, you'd want to kill yourself." Jake felt his eyes widen. "what do you know Grum?" again Grum looked at him sadly. "I know how you're all going to die. Ewya, she's going to kill you. Not just you and your clan but every Na'vi on Pandora. She's going to kill them all. Jake felt his blood freeze in his veins. "why? Why would she do such a thing?" Grum shrugged. "because, she is displeased. The Na'vi are no longer developing along the path that wishes them to. They are thinking for themselves, and now they do not seek her agreement with everything they do."

.

.

Jake shook his head. "but they do. They still pray to her, they hold festivals in her honor, nothing has changed!" again Grum smiled. "but it has sully. Much has changed. The Na'vi are embracing human thinking. They are using human methods to farm, and treat the ill and dying. They are evolving into a new culture. And it is this that upsets Ewya. You see she wanted the human's gone, and off Pandora. But when they left their knowledge within the bases they cemented their continued existence on Pandora. And although they are not here physically, their collective knowledge is." Jake's mind refused to work. "but why? Why kill everyone?" Grum shrugged. "because it worked before. Do you think your people are the first Na'vi to walk this planet? They're not. If I remember correctly they are the 6th or 7th version. Each version before them eventually disapointed Ewya in some way. So she destroyed them and started over again."

.

Jake watched as Grum's tattoos glowed bright red with anger. "but I've had enough jakesully. I'm tired of her throwing a tantrum when her creations start using the freedoms she gave them I'm here to say enough. I will not stand by and watch this happen. Not again, not while there is someone on this forsaken rock who had do something about it. You mister sully; you are that someone. And it is up to you to stop the invasion Ewya has planned." Jake watched as Grum began to pace back and forth. "I can't interfere Jake. You understand? The rules forbid me from directly interfering with what Ewya plans to do. But I can help you. Slip you hints and tips that could help save you and your people. And maybe just maybe bring some sense to Ewya. Do you understand?" Jake nodded dumbly his mind felt numb as he tried to process everything he was being told. Grum smiled at him again. "don't look so scared mister sully. If this works you'll be a hero. The person who saved the Na'vi from extinction. And if you fail…well no one will be around to remember. I'll contact you shortly."

.

.

Jake watched as Grum began walking away from him. as he did so Grum spoke over his shoulder. "after all what kind of being would I be if I didn't give you a chance to save your son and daughter?"

AN: WELL FOLKS. THAT'S THAT. HOPE YOU ALL LIKED IT. LIKE I SAID I'M NOT SURE IF I'LL CONTUE THIS OR SCRAP IT. I KNOW FOR SURE I WANNA FINISH SOME OTHER STORIES FIRST. BUT IT FELT GOOD TO WRITE SOME AVATAR AGAIN.

.

I KNOW THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE EPILOGUE OF 'A MISTY PAST' BUT I HAVE HAD TIME TO THINK AND HONE CERTAIN IDEAS. SO ALL THE CHANGES ARE FOR THE BETTER.

.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
