The sounds of the forest are alive and undisturbed as Oe (I) slowly creep forward a distance away of a small heard of Yerik (Hexapede) that Oe (I) have track down which is now in my sight, quickly Oe (I) picked one that is a clear view and the most possible shot. So with trained practice Oe (I) lean up as Oe (I) notched an swizaw (arrow) in my ysko (bow) without a sound and pulled back but when a Yerik (Hexapede) finally takes notice of me it's already too late as Oe (I) have already let the swizaw (arrow) lose which hits it mark on the pewn (neck) of the Yerik (Hexapede) and it to fall to the na'rìng (forest) floor, causing the rest of the herd to book it. Immediately Oe (I) ran over and kneel beside the shot Yerik (Hexapede) which Oe (I) laid my tsko (bow) onto the ground before pulling out my tsyokx (hand) crafted knife from it's sheath that's hanging off of my loin clothe.

"Oe ngati kameie tsmukan sì irayo si

Your tirea gose hu Ewya

Your tokx stats behind

Ne slu of the people" Oe (I) gently whispered to the Yerik (Hexapede) before pushing the knife into it's txe'lan (heart) merciful killing the animal instantly and after Oe (I) give a whistle causing a direhorse to come trotting towards me which Oe (I) quickly put the kerusey (dead) Yerik (Hexapede) onto it's back, Oe (I) make tsahaylu before hopping into it's back and head back kelku (home).

"Hello O'ziteh" Oe (I) greeted my prolemuris friend with a large smile as Oe (I) slid off the direhorse which he jumped onto my back from inside of Kelutral (Hometree).

"Careful! You can hurt yourself O'ziteh!" Oe (I) laughed as the prolemuris wildly while hollering in relief as where since the Tawtute (skyperson) incident he's been shaky and won't leave Kelutral (Hometree), even with me.

"I'm ok! See! No injuries!" Oe (I) chuckled and set him on top of the direhorse before getting the kerusey (dead) Yerik (Hexapede) off and when Oe (I) brought it over to the butchering area four little Tapirus comes running out of a hole into the ground Oe (I) have dug for them to be safe from larger predators of the forest.

"Hello! Swizaw, Tseo, Ean, and Seze." Oe (I) greeted the four as they wonder around waiting for some scraps from my taron (hunt) today which One (I) started to cut into the Yerik (Hexapede) which Oe (I) give the organs to the four Tapirus, cooking and eating as much as Oe (I) can before putting what meat Oe (I) didn't eat into a basket.

"O'ziteh, stay and watch the four." Oe (I) tell my Prolemuris friend before lightly jogging through the na'rìng (forest) with the basket of meat in my arms and far into the forest Oe (I) sneak up to a familiar Nantang (viperwolves) pack den, Oe (I) have stumble upon them a while ago when come back from a taron (hunt) and they have ambush me for the Yerik (Hexapede) Oe (I) had killed which Oe (I) let them have it without a fight as Oe (I) can taron (hunt) again but Oe (I) did get a bite wound turned scar on my kinam (leg) from being dragged off of my direhorse. Not wanting to waste the meat Oe (I) don't eat from the Yerik (Hexapede) as the organs are enough for the four little Tapirus and don't want too overfeed them so after meeting the Nantang (Viperwolves) pack Oe (I) decided to feed them the left over meat knowing they'll take it without hesitation but hopefully Oe (I) don't become food myself.

Oe (I) climbed the nearest utral (tree) by the entrance of the den where Oe (I) found where the pack lives and dropped a piece of meat to the ground below which Oe (I) watch as a slightly larger Nantang (Viperwolves) crawled out of the cave entrance sniffing around and giving the meat a few licks before taking it into the cave, with a smile as Oe (I) sit in the utral (tree) Oe (I) continue to drop meat which caused multiple males to come out to take what Oe (I) drop inside the cave.

"Kìyevame (good-bye, see you again soon)" Oe (I) whispered to the pack when my basket has become empty and Oe (I) climbed down before returning kelku (home).

"I'm kelku (home)" Oe (I) called out to my friends when Oe (I) return to Kelutral (Hometree) and hearing me O'ziteh comes down from the higher branches of the Kelutral (Hometree) as the four Tapirus come out of their hole, Oe (I) give each a pat before before beginning the long process of cleaning the bones of the Yerik (Hexapede) for crafting which Oe (I) decided to check up on the Tawtute (skyperson) ioang (animal, beast) again.

"Stay, I'll come back when the sun begins to set." Oe (I) tell them before climbing up my Kelutral (Hometree) which Oe (I) grabbed my tsko (bow) that Oe (I) have crafted from my people's Kelutral (Hometree) along the way leaving Olo'eyktan (clan leader) tsko (bow) hanging respectfully in the my mo'ara (gathering place) for all to see and when Oe (I) got to the top Oe (I) let out a call for my Ikran, they come immediately and landed on a steady breach.

"Hello again my friend, (Ikran name)." Oe (I) greeted them while nuzzling my key (face) against theirs which they purr before making tsaheylu with them and hopping onto their back, with that we're in the air heading to Hell's Gate. My Ikran riding visor rest above my eyes as the wind flows through my nikre (hair) as we approach Ayram Alusìng (Hallelujah mountains) which always causes a smile to appear at the sight of the floating mountains and waterfalls.

"Za'u (come) Za'u (come)!" Me and the rest of the kids giggle as the teacher call for us to gather around her.

"Mawey (calm) children mawey (calm)!" She smiles at us as she clams us down that we'll listen to her so we all stop our laughter and settled down in our spots around her.

"Mawey (calm) sì (and) tìng mikyun (listen)!" She stated before she begins to sings with her arms wide.

"Ewya is powerful and mighty

Mother of all

Mother of life

So loving of all!

All mighty!" Our teacher hold her hands high as she looks to the sky as she sighs with her whole being.

"That is when we begin to fight each other

For something so stupid like territory

She cried loudly for us to hear!

Ewya was enraged that her children dare to fight!

But her cries go unheard as blood cover the soil we walk on

So in her anger and tears for us to stop

She broke rocks apart!" Our teacher shows sadness at the thought of tsam (war) between the Na'vi people.

"So loud we think it was thunder!

But then the ground shook with power

Underneath our feet soil disappeared

Crack begins like giant rivers

Finally we heard her cries and welling!

With her will the land below our feet begin to rise

High in the air where Ikran fly

For everyone to see

A warning to all

Eywa showing us this isn't the way

Killing in cold blood isn't our way!" She pick up a large piece of dirt from the ground and gently broke it down in her palms, it falls to the ground.

"We heard and obeyed our mother

We saw what our fighting done to her

Our mother

Ewya!

For that we sing this so we don't do it again

To cause her such pain with our foolishness

To say we are sorry to our great mother

Ewya!" Her arms lower as her eyes finally turns to us which we all claps and holler in excitement.

The memory faded Oe (I) mindlessly reached up to gently crease the large necklace Oe (I) had made from my people's songcords as the sight of Hell's Gate comes in view which Oe (I) land right by the Tawtute (skyperson) metal ioang (animal, beast) and hoping of off (irkan name).
