When I went to bed I again woke in my Avatar body. Everyone was asleep and I knew that I had to do something. I wouldn't be in my avatar body if there wasn't something I had to do. Which seems to be almost everyday now. Someone always telling some mythical questions that just leads to more questions without giving me any answers at all!
"Celene….come. Come." I looked around for the voice but I couldn't see anyone near me. "Come to the forest. Come find us." I got out of my hammock and raced down the winding walk way. I made sure I wasn't seen as I made way into the woods. At first I stopped and looked in. It was dark and I wasn't carrying anything with me.
Smart, Celene. Follow a voice into the woods were you could get yourself killed. I hated my inner voice it just didn't want to shut up for once. Just when I was about to turn around, a gust of wind blew past me and into the wood. For some reason…it felt like the wind was pushing me to go in. My fingers began to tingle and there was this fuzzy feeling inside my head.
"Forget fear. Nothing will come to harm you." The voice spoke again. I took one last look at the home tree then walked forward.
I climbed over roots, branches, and and pushed my way through large leaves; making my way over the long bridge over the river. The plants lit up as I touched them. Everything was full of life. I kept moving forward, memorized by the sight I was taking in. The forest was quiet and the plants swayed in the light breeze but I felt something pushing me forward. That's when I noticed that the plants were the ones pushing me. They wanted me to go forward. I was pushed this way and that and was led into a clearing. I got to the middle of the clearing but nothing happened. It was empty.
"Welcome Celene." I turned around and was face to face with a pure white thanator. Shit…. "Do not be afraid. We are here to help."
"We?" I asked. The thanator nodded and I gasped at what I saw. A pure white Hammerhead Titanothere, Prolemuris, Direhorse, and a Viperwolf broke from the tree line and surrounded me as woodspirtes floated down all around us. When one of them landed on me I felt calm, almost at peace. All of creatures were white with swirls of gold shimmering along their skin; their eyes glowed a strange glow as if they had no eyes to speak of. The stood around me in a circle, no possible way of escaping should I need to run but I felt like I really didn't have to. Like I sort of know they weren't going to hurt me.
"My name is Vergi. Master of the thanators and one of your many teachers." Vergi spoke.
"Teachers? Of what am I supposed to be taught?" I asked.
"Our ways of life. To find Eywa's daughter you must be in-tune with the creatures around you. To breathe the same air they breathe and to become one with the life that flows beneath your own feet. That is the only way you can find her daughter." Said the direhorse.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Sara'bas. Leader of the direhorses." He nodded and I nodded back.
"My name is Jan'a. Leader of the Viperwolfs." The voice sounded female and when I went to nod, I noticed a scar on her side…
"Wait, I know you. I was the one that healed your wound!" Jan'a chuckled and sat in front of me.
"You did not need to for I am connected to all of my kind. I could feel the pain you felt and I took comfort that your other world had not killed compassion in your heart." Jan'a spoke softly.
"My name is No'roga. I am the leader of the Hammerhead Titanotheres." I nodded.
"My name is Junko. Master of the Prolemuris." The monkey like creature said from atop of the titanothere.
"It's an honor to meet you all but I have a question."
"Yes Celene?" Vergi asked me.
"You are all of the earth but why do I have a feeling that someone is missing?" I asked the large cat like creature. He seemed to ponder for a moment, looking me over before his face broke out in what I thought to be a smile.
"You are right. The master of the air will come when the time is right. As for right now, we will be the only ones you have to listen to." He said.
"So, when do we start?" I asked. Vergi chuckled and moved in front of me.
"Tomorrow night. From here on out, you are to secretly train with each master until you are ready for their test. Slowly you will become one with this land and understand all that there is."
"I understand. There is something else..."
"Of course."
"How will this help me find Eywa's daughter? I want to do all I can to help but I keep getting this feeling like I've been here before and that I have a strong connection but maybe I'm still not seeing the whole picture. All I know that Eywa's daughter disappeared some time ago and hasn't been seen since and that somehow only I can find her! This makes no sense but I have nothing to lose since I am sort of a stranger to this place." I told them. They were quiet, looking at each other then nodding in their quiet conversation. Then they turned to face me.
"Our teachings will help you find Eywa's daughter but the answers you seek will be up to you to find." Sara'bas said.
"I understand. Who is my first teacher?"
"That would me Celene." Sara'bas spoke. "Tomorrow meet me by the river. I have a lot to teach."
"It's time for you to rest now Celene. You have a long day tomorrow." Vergi said and with that they left. The woodspirtes started to float the way I came. I guess that they were gonna lead me back.
And they did.
Everyone was still asleep when I arrived back. Still making sure that I wasn't seen I crept back into my hammock. I noticed that one of the woodspirtes followed me. I opened my hand and allowed it to land. I closed the hammock and set the woodspirte next to me. It rested next to my head and I could hear the voices of the Na'vi whisper in my ear. I couldn't pick up what they were saying but it made me tired to a point where I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer. The voices drifted and they became fainter and fainter. Soon, blackness surrounded me in a warm embrace.
