Years had passed and Tsu'tey had grown to be a fine young warrior and his parents could not have been prouder of him. Tsu'tey felt his insides coil as his father finished the last markings on his body, the markings consisted of his new passage as part of the Na'vi Tribe and his family markings were there.
He was with the four who were also going to be initiated tonight and he was the first to enter the Dream Hunt. When he entered, he was surrounded by a circle of Na'vi all painted and Tsahik was there with the glowworm in her hands.
Hiding a bile, Tsu'tey bravely went to Tsahik (Spiritual Leader) and opened his mouth before closing it and bit back another urge to spit it out. He had come this far to make it, he was not going to back out now. Instant pain erupted from within him and Tsu'tey bit his tongue to hold back a scream as the Na'vi surrounding him began to chant.
He did not know when but he somehow blacked out and ended up in a place where he knew the Dream Hunt is but what stunned him the most that instead of seeing Pandora's lush of life, he was met with a barren place with no life nor anything living.
A roar from the skies and he was seeing an ikran flying up high in the sky, roaring in anger down below the barren land and Tsu'tey wondered if that ikran had known something about this when a mighty shadow swooped down to the ikran.
The Toruk let loose a mighty roar that shook the ground as it and the ikran sailed onward. What Tsu'tey noticed then was that there was something on the Toruk's back. Something blue and it was snarling down the land in anger and pain.
A Rider!?
Was that Toruk Makto!?
Before Tsu'tey could form any coherent words, he felt his spirit slwoly being pulled back by his body and he woke up with a few Na'vi members staring at him with worry and concern. The Tsahik knelt down beside the erratic breathing of the Na'vi warrior
"syeha si nìmwey Tsu'tey (Breathe calmly Tsu'tey)" Tsu'tey heaved before regaining his composure and turned to the Tsahik who gave him a proud smile. It was then that he knew he passed. He proudly walked out towards the sun, reborn as an honorary Omaticaya and the people immediately welcomed him with open hearts.
Silwanin embraced him fully as she nuzzled his neck while Neytiri gave him a grin. Tsu'tey smiled at Neytiri before pulling Silwanin away for him to embrace Neytiri. Mo'at and Eytukan smiled down at Tsu'tey as he showed affectionate gestures to Neytiri.
"Sìltsan Tsu'tey (Well done Tsu'tey)" Eytukan spoke to Tsu'tey as the young warrior stared at the Olo'eyktan "You have proven your worth as a warrior and being the next Olo'eyktan as my father before me" Ateyo patted Tsu'tey by the back and Tsu'tey gave him an arrogant grin as the single females not far from him eyed him longingly from afar.
~oOo~
As Tsu'tey lay on his nivi he knew nothing could ruin this moment. Here being with his family and friends and being the best at everything not to mention becoming the next Olo'eyktan. The image of the rider from his Dream Hunt made him pause.
He was being informed that it took him longer than the usual Dream Hunt that occurred and they fear that something has happened that may have caused him his death and that really bothered Tsu'tey because he saw Pandora as a desolate place not the beautiful and lush green land that many who have been initiated spoke about.
What worried him more was that he had seen two animals that either could be his spirit animal. Though his mind knew it must have been the ikran since it was the first one that he saw first but what had caused him to see the Toruk, more or less the rider even.
He had not seen the face of the rider but the stance of the rider as it flew over the barren land was good enough for him to know that the rider was an experienced ikran rider before the Toruk and though he did not see the rider's face, he saw the mouth form into a snarl.
he shuffled around his nivi, finding a comfortable spot for him to sleep as he tried to let sleep consume him, a bright flash made him look up to see a something shoot across but he paid no mind.
As he fell asleep, the bright light drew near the Pandora planet before it crash landed in an unknown location. The sound disturbed the sleeping creatures as the animals ran away from the strange metal demon that seem to be not one of Eywa's creations.
The metal shifted as a latch slowly opened and out appeared to be creatures with the size of a small Na'vi babe wearing metal all around their body and in their hands were objects that sent danger signals in every animal's mind.
As the creatures step out of the metal beast, they surveyed the area and made motion signals with their hands to a strapped cam on their wrists.
"There appears to be high signs of life in this planet boss, though the air surrounding the area seem to be too toxic for humans to breathe" One of the creatures said and the animals noticed how monotone the creature sounded like almost as if it was void of life.
"Do we have your permission to proceed with the mission?...much obliged sir"
As the creatures moved around to survey the area, the animals had gone deep into hiding for fear that if on of them provoke these new beings, they would not know what harm they would bring to their home and to their mother.
Eywa had already felt the first of these beings being sent down and knew that time has already begun for the future of her children to either be saved or the destruction of this planet. She had done all that she can for their fates to intertwine, all she can do now is wait and make sure that there will be less blood of her children that will be shed in the upcoming war for Pandora.
