A short redo.
oOo
I was supposed to wake up in my room but instead I woke up to a glowing tree. It was bigger than the ones I've seen but this one was different. The sky was dark and stars lit up the sky but the tree was the brightest. I noticed that I was in my human body instead of my Na'vi body, which I found to be weird. It wasn't like the dream I had on earth and I didn't appear to be in my Na'vi body, so where was I this time?
"It's about time Eywa finally brought you here." I turned around to see no one but I could tell someone was there. "Up here human!" I faced the tree and looked up. There, sitting in one of the branches, was a female Na'vi. She had short black hair with a headdress band, and she sort of looked like Neytiri almost but older.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"The name is Sylwanin." The Na'vi jumped down and crouched in front of me. "And you must be Celene. Correct am I not?"
"Yes I am. But…you speak English fluently. Did you go to my mom's school?"I asked her.
"I was one of her top students actually…but sadly I am no longer in her classes." She went and sat on one of the roots. "I was a part of the Omaticaya clan but I was killed by the RDA. Now my family harbors harsh feelings towards you humans and my teacher is not allowed to return to teach my people."
"You were part of the Omaticaya clan? Your related to Neytiri, aren't you?" I asked her.
"Yes, I am their eldest daughter. And I was what you humans call "engaged" to Tsu'tey but now my sister takes my place. If I had known what would happen, I would have never gone to do the things I have done." She spoke but to me I heard regret.
"Why?"
"My sister was always free-spirited. Unlike Tsu'tey, who is stiff. Neytiri wanted to mate with someone who was strong and kind and yet still remain that same free-spirit she is. Now that I am gone she will never get that chance." She spoke with a sadness.
"Being engaged to someone without a say is hard. But you can't really blame yourself."
"I started a fight I could not finish. I led to the mistrust in your mother and the good sky people. But who know, maybe Eywa has a plan for all of this." She said. "You are here after all."
"Wait….am I dead?" A chill settled in my gut.
"Not exactly….you humans would call this limbo. The place between the living and the dead." Sylwanin said.
"Then why am I here?" I asked.
"I guessed you noticed that Eywa asked you to find….someone. A very important someone."
"Yes, Eywa's daughter. What does this have to do with me? I'm nothing special." I told her and sat beside her.
"Not quite. You're the only one who can…..well, go look and see for yourself. Talk to her people and learn of them. Only you can find her." She told me.
"I still don't understand why it's me. I'm not Na'vi."
"But you are connected to your Na'vi body. You know Na'vi customs and our language. Sure you may be unskilled as a warrior but with a little training you can become a full Na'vi. You are connected to Pandora and you can see things no one else can see. You can find her. Eywa and I believe in you." She said and smiled at me.
"Okay then, what do I do?" I asked her.
"You'll see. Just, do me a favor."
"What?"
"Show my family what it's like to live again. Bring what it means to live in the present and not remain in the past. I'll sent someone to help you on this journey. And of course, I'll be helping to."
"I will. I promise." I told her. Suddenly I felt really tired and I couldn't keep my eyes open. "What's happening? And who are you sending?"
"You're going back. But don't worry, we'll meet again. Just remember what I asked of you. Good luck Celene. Oh, and you'll see. Just listen for his voice, you'll know!" Her voice started to become distant as my vision became blurry. My feet gave from under me and the last thing I saw was stars. It was so beautiful. All the stars seemed to dance before me and I felt alive. A child's laughter was soft and the sound of Pandora's forest made my body feel light. A feeling in my chest made me feel like…like, I can't describe the feeling but I never wanted it to end. Sadly everything came rushing at me and things went black.
"Momma, I want to be human. Can I?"
oOo
