Eywa saw all, Eywa was all. Eywa saw how this little human respected her, respected her creatures, how Na’vi he was even with his human DNA.
Eywa rewarded those who deserved it.
And by Her, did this tiny one deserve it.
Especially after the way most of her creations treated him, for Hersake, could they not see her animals treat Spider kindly? That her plants protected him? Were they blind?!
So Eywa blessed him, years ago.
If only the boy wasn’t so careful…
Maybe a small intervention.

It had been two months since the fight, Neteyams death, and Spider saving Quaritch.
Kiri knew, Spider didn't know how but one day Kiri had just shown up and told Spider she wasn't upset.
That Eywa needed Spider to save Quaritch.
He didn't think anyone else knew.
The Sully's were healing, and had begun treating Spider better.
Spider swears he nearly fainted when Neytiri, who never cared for him, shoved a beaded necklace at him.
Ronal seemed to take that as a challenge.
Spider had been all but officially adopted into the Metkayinan family.
Supprisinly, it had been Ronal who went to him first.
She had seen this small injured human boy behind the Sully's, and decided he would be hers.
It took Ao'nung a day to decide his mother was right.
When they had learned about the treatment Spider had been given by the Sully, and frankly, most other adults, there were a few fights.
Ronal was outraged at this poor boys treatment, and Tonowari was angry for Spiders childhood. The siblings were mad that their little big brother was treated so awfully.
When he showed up wearing Neytiri's necklace, Ronal and Tsireya spent most of the night making him a top, he was wearing one of Tsireya's right now, from her childhood, it helped when he was in the sun all day, and when he was playing with the others.
Close to sunrise, Ao'nung had walked to his mother and sister, handing them a bead for Spiders top.
He had made this bead when he was a child, and had refused to allow anyone to even braid it into his song cord. The meaning did not escape the women.
Nor did it escape Spider, when he saw the bead he'd heard tales about in his new top.
He wore it with pride, happy, showing off his acceptance, (like the Metkayina didn’t already know), and bragged to everyone, whether they wanted to hear or not.
Like that, the war between the mothers was on.
~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~
Spider had been playing with his siblings, both sets, when it happened.
He grabbed Ao'nungs tail, in return Kiri shoved Spider, Lo'ak nudged Kiri, Tsireya shoved Loak, Ao'nung went for Kiri, and Spider tickled Tuk.
At least, that had been the plan.
Instead of tickling Tuk, he fell. Onto a rock. Mask first.
*Crack*
Everything stopped.
It would have been comical if Spider wasn't so frightened.
He could see so much clearer.
His mask was broke
All hell broke lose in a split second.
Kiri screamed.
Tuk cried.
Loak shouted.
Ao nung shoved his hands onto Spiders face.
Tsireya prayed to Eywa.
Jake and Neytiri were frozen.
Ronal was seconds away from fighting, probably Neytiri.
Tonowari was crying, holding Tuk.
Spider was-
Spider wasn't reacting.
He was more focused on the fact he was breathing.
Actually breathing.
He mask was shattered, and Ao'nung had cuts on his hands from pressing them into Spiders broken mask and face, and Spider was breathing.
Kiri was the first to react. It took seconds for her to realise her soul-brother was breathing.
In Pandoran air.
Ao'nung was next. He could feel Spider’s breathe against his bloody hands. Measured, even breaths.
He was breathing.
Ronal was next.
She knew Spider was special, could feel it. And now Eywa had proved it. Eywa had given her baby a blessing to help him survive.
Tuk, Loak, and Jake realised next.
Spider was going to be okay.
Tonowari and Neytiri realised at the same time.
Tonowari felt a huge wave of relief, his new son, his fragile baby, was okay, was a little bit less in danger.
Neytiri...
Neytiri was scared. There was this child she'd been treating as little more than a pet, and here was actual real proof that he was Eywa blessed.
This happened in the span of a second.
Pure silence encased a third.
The fourth second was chaos.
Konal and lonowari rushed torwards to him, grabbing him and spinning, thanking Eywa.
Kiri whooped with pure elation, her soul-brother would be okay and now everyone knew he belonged.
Neytiri couldn't think. Spider was blessed by Eywa and Neytiri had actively tried too keep him away, to make him leave.
Jake didn't know what to think. He knew he hadn't treated Spider the best, but he had tried right? Jake caught Neytiri, she had collapsed into him.
Jake held Neytiri, and turned to walk away. Spider was not their family, they had both seen to that. This was not their moment.
Loak wasn't really moving, he was just smiling. So so happy his brother was going to be okay.
Ao'nung laughed. He joined his parents in celebrating Spider, and dragged Loak and Kiri in to. Their baby older brother was okay! He didn't even flinch when Kiri spread some paste over his cut hands.
Tsireya picked Tuk up, smiling and giggling, and joined her family to celebrate. She didn't have to worry so much any more, her little brother had now well and truely proved to all Na'vi and everyone that he was Pandorian, he belonged.
All the eight of them could think in that moment was: No one could take him away now.
~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~
Spider spent the rest of the day with his siblings.
They played for hours, everything seemed easier now that they weren't worried about Spiders mask breaking.
Of course, now Spider had to learn to breath underwater, no longer able to rely on his exo-mask.
Ronal was insistent on there being a large cerimony for the Metkayina people, to celebrate Eywa's clear acceptance of her son.
Spider thought it was just to rub it in Neytiri's face. He was right.
He spent the night with his family. Tucked snugly in between Ronal and Tonowari, with Ao'nung cuddled behind him, and Tsireya at his front.
Ronal and Ao'nung had spent the better part of the evening touching, petting, and kissing all over his face, whilst Tsireya had worked on his stripes and hair, they'd been working on it for a while now, but he'd been so severely neglected she was only just getting through it. Tonowari made sure Spider was warm enough, and comfortable, and fed.
~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~ ~♡~
It wasn't his born family, or his grow-up family.
But this was Spiders family.
And that was enough.
Being able to breathe the same air was a blessing, one he would thank Eywa for everyday.
He slept that night dreaming of a dwarfed Tulkun, swimming along side him.
