The Angel of Pandora
Chapter 1, Presentation
This story begins just after the end of Avatar 2, but half of the story goes far back to present a rather cataclysmic "Great Sorrow". I respect the universe of films while introducing a big personal part that fits together, I think, quite correctly.
You will also find reminiscences of Terminator and Alita Battle Angel. In a way it's a bit post-apocalyptic. Some situations can also make you think of The Lord of the Rings. It's still SF but I favor a "magical" point of view, especially from the Na'vis.
Obviously you have to have seen the two films, Avatar 1 and 2 to understand certain things. I do not describe again the characters and places of the films. The descriptions relate to the characters and places of personal invention that I introduce as I go along.
We find there mainly, among the characters of JC, Neteyam (but in a "different" form), Lo'ak, Spider, Tsireya, Zdinarsk, Ja, Quaritch. The unfortunate Neteyam receives particularly special treatment.
You will be able to follow three parallel stories over 26 chapters that will converge to meet at the end: the way of Lo'ak, the way of Neteyam and the way of the Angel.
There are transfers of consciousness which induce interesting culture clashes. The characters will therefore be shaken up in their beliefs. Exactly like in the movies.
There is also violence – including sexual and psychological – and death but this is not the main focus of the story.
I like to play on points of view and half of the chapters are in the first person and the other half in the third person.
The tense of the story is in the past to better highlight the dialogues that are in the present.
