I will continue Eywa's Will of course. Thank you so much to everyone who liked and commented ❤
I'm overwhelmed by the response so far. Don't be shy and comment or PM me if you want.
I will keep writing but right now there is a friend of mine going through a phase. So the only times I can write is during night time before going to sleep. I really hope I can continue Chapter 1 and post withing the next days.
Look at him. He looks like a cop, but he's clearly a former marine living in some sort of suburbia, with 5 dogs and 6 cats swarming him whenever he returns home after a tour. Terrible dog/cat dad. If he's handing you his phone, it's because he's got a new picture to show you.
Probably called Arty because his hippy parents thought they'd have a girl and they'd get to call her Artemis. Everyone thinks it's short for Arthur and everyone gets a little spooked seeing his ID.
He probably has a sister who looks after his pack. He was very distraught when he took the RDA contract, but it was good money and his parents' business had failed.
I bet he struggled loads on Pandora, trying to snatch lizards and small animals on science sorties and smuggle them back into his dorm to keep as pets, smuggling food from the messhall.
Queerplatonic bestie with Z-dog, she gives him chewing gum and they hit the shooting range together.
He signed up to project phoenix knowing it'd send a stipend to his family after his death.
When he wakes up as a recom she's here in the room (and no other recom) because she knows he'll be hit hard. He realises what's up and starts crying. He's dead, so all his pets are deads. And it's 15 years later, so maybe his parents too? He was always sending comms and they were always replying with updates from life back on earth.
Mansk goes to Z-dog later to ask her to come with him to the comms centre because he doesn't want to be alone in case there's nothing for him there. But sure enough, his sister started receiving the recom money, so she sent news and photos of her new kids and Ari's own cat's grandkids.
He's very quiet in general, careful of how he moves and where he steps.
Obviously he's a grill master, as pointed out by @ochomonos in their fab art of him. I think he'd be the most interested in Na'vi food customs.
What can I say? You can't grow up with hippy parents who make their own cheese and beer and not have interest in cooking.
He has a notebook in his tactical vest, and a good half of the pages are notes on edible food and na'vi cooking recipes translated by Spider for him.
Please. Every scene where Quaritch sees Neytiri's arrows he suffers some serious PTSD. My man is shook.
Like imagine remembering your own death, looking at your own remains on the floor. Eventhough he just broke his own skull into pieces, you can still see over the movie, those arrows bring back some fear in him. Them being some kinda trigger.
Right now I really believe quaritch is going to hate Neytiri way more than Jake by the end of this.
Writer's Note: Let me be honest, this is my first ever written fanfiction and english is definetly not my native language. So if you have any crtitics or find some major mistakes made, I really hope it doesn't mess up your reading expierience (It's a process aye). I also normally don't write out of this POV, so sorry if there are a few her/she mistakes. Don't hesitate to hit me up on this or comment. Well, if anyone ever reads this Story anyway, please be kind. Otherwise I really hope you enjoy!
CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: Nezah is a young huntress of the Kekunan Clan. The Members of the Kekunan Clan are known for being great aerial hunters and ikran riders. They are closely bound to Toruk the Last Shadow. Most Stories and Knowledge about the Last Shadow was passed on by the Kekunan. Nezha is the Tsakarem of her Tribe, putting her next in line to be the next Tsahik of her clan. She has recently been betrothed with Owaykei Te Ruuray Uaewkao'itan. Na'vi of the Kekunan have a different appearance from the forest tribes, they are known to be more athletic with strong legs, smaller and slimmer, their blueish skin varies a lot, it has a very similar skin pattern to a lot of Ikrans, making them almost invisible riding their mount. It is not unusual, that the Kekunan People have different skin tones of blue, some even a purplish blur. They are known to have a special bond to their ikrans, even communicate on a deeper Level with them. Their souls are truly woven with those of their winged brothers and sisters.
Storyboard: Colonel Quaritch still helds Spider captive, trying to get the boy to teach him the Na'vi Way, convinced that this will bring him closer to finally defeating Jake Sully. But a little Part of him, just a little Part which he actively tries to mute feels something different while connecting to Pandora and his son.
He just freshly tamed his Banshee, his first connection made with purpose. Using his Queue for the first time for what it seemed to be made for, coming closer to the Heart of Pandora and within it also coming closer to the entity they call Eywa. And with this, his hunger for power grows. The first time feeling in charge again, leading his squad equipped with banshees. His Memory comes back about a terrifying ecounter, with what Selfridge called: The great leonopteryx. So he has a plan to truly demonstrate his new abilities. But Spider isn't really helping with that, but maybe a young local could help with that...
Na'vi Laguage will be maked in blue and italic
There it was, the feeling of falling into a hole of infinity, swallowing me deeper and deeper. And yet there was a warm touch that gave me comfort, similiar to times when mother gently traced the glowing dots on the small forehead as if there was a bigger meaning to them. Finger running around them, like a little secret only she knew back then. Her beautiful voice humming my personal songcord and all that while the little girl in her arms gently drifted away into a deep slumber.
But this was not the same. Even though there was a deep feeling of safety, I knew this wasn't a dream or just a deep sleep by now. Alone but surely not without guidance. Eywa was with me here and our great mother needed me to see.
Open your eyes.... a soft voice demanded.
The soft falling without any gravity to it, began to take a gut wrenching turn. Wind began to brush through my hair, pulling it upwards, while my body was violently falling victim to gravity pulling me down, meters and meters deep. A wall of striking wind meeting my back like painful whips. I knew this feeling, whenever I lost my balance on Sha'ti - my soul sister, my ikran - and began to fall. I was in a free fall! Instantly my eyes jerked open within a second, it was true. I was in a free fall out of the sky, only one thing sure by now: I would be hitting the ground in a few minutes of falling. My strong heart began to pump uncontrolled as if it wanted to escape my aching chest. My heart screamed for Sha'ti, but there was nothing, no response and no bond anymore. Where was my sister ?!
Free falling down Ayram alusìng I could see the Flying Mountains growing smaller and smaller as I was just falling back first. But right in that moment I didn't care about my life vanishing, it was the loss of connection to everything I loved that tore a hole into my heart. It felt like something pulling a string on my heart, violently ripping it out. Right in that moment my lips opened, a desperate scream leaving my lungs in deep sadness. Mother, why !
Right in that moment a whole jolt ran through my hurting body as something interrupted that falling motion. Automatically I cleched my canines, my eyes slamming shut, my body wincing. I was sure, I hit the ground. This was it, I would meet Eywa now.
No...
I didn't hit the ground. Being snatched mid-air did hurt, but not as much as hitting the ground., there was a destinct difference. Fingers gripping deeply into my skin, feeling them pressing into my hip. It was such a strong hold, as if I couldn't move one bit by now.What a weird comfort it gave me... A strong puff escaping the soul under my feet, warm skin hitting mine. Being tucked in, on top of an ikran. It wasn't Sha'ti, this ikran felt different. It did not belong to the clan, but yet it was not a feral one either. The hand on my hip...it hit me like a arrow right through the heart. Someone was riding the Ikran, I gasped and opened up my hurting eyes. Tucked up against blue skin, the first thing I could see within my position was the hand on my hurting body. Five Fingers...FIVE. A Demon, it was one of them!
"Demon!", I desperately screamed as I tried to push myself away. Now throwing up my head against a broad shoulder. This Demon wasn't trying to save me, this rotten sky man tried to kidnap me! I would rather die, than letting that happen!
My ears snapped back in a aggressive manner as I let out a threatening hiss at that thing. Green eyes meeting the side profile of the sky man disguised as one of us - but he would never be one of the people! He didn't mind my demeanor, he was concentrating on something different. As if all my survival instincts began to kick in I started to wiggle my body out of the strong grab, but he was too strong. All I could achieve was the ability to have a little more room to turn my head, looking over his shoulder. My eyes locking now onto the blue skin. A black mark was looking back at me, it was some kind of creature, all black all over his detailed and muscular arm. It had wings but other than that it looked like nothing I had seen before. What was that ? With a racing heart, all I could scream was "Let go!". I felt what could only be described as pure horror.
Again the desperate scream was interrupted quite harshly as a loud roar filled the Airspace. A roar which let me freeze without any further movement, this was no ikran it was Toruk, and not just him but him hunting something...or someone. My blood froze in pure horror. My eyes came up again, looking back. There was one of those ships of the sky people following us - this man. He wasn't kidnapping me, he was fighting alongside the people and saving me from death? What...What is this ?
Abruptly the Vision came to an end and it felt like someone was ripping the queue off.
I grabbed my chest, fingers wrenching around the Chest-Piece as my whole body began to twitch in pure pain. No physical pain really, but this vision felt like pure torture to the soul and because of this it felt worse than any physical pain. The tensed up body was laying on the ground, but right now i was bending my back, lifting it up from the ground in sheer pain, while the pair of slim shoulders digged themself deep into the earth beneath me. Face lighting up in horror and pain.
Hot tears escaping the corner of my still closed eyes, I screamed for Sha'ti with a heartbreaking sound of a shaking voice. Only to feel warm skin digging itself right into my waistline, again and again until I was thrown over onto my stomach, finally releasing the tension stuck in the sore muscles. Harsh breathing, coming back into the reality. Confused and lost my eyelids fluttered, trying to process where I was and what happened.
My throat felt utterly dry by now, must have gasped like this the whole time, while being gone. But what my exhausted green eyes locked on to next, was her. My Sister felt the distressed nature, the screaming heart for her's and here she was: Sha'ti. She was here, she was alive and other than stressed, she seemed well. Out of pure relieve I began to slightly sob. Arms wrapped around her strong neck, embracing her into a warm hug.
"Sha'ti...", I wept in a hushed voice. It was a Vision directly from Eywa, it was a task from mother herself. This man, this demon. It was my task to find this man and bring him closer to greatmother. But why? Those Sky People meant nothing but trouble, death and destruction. Why would Eywa put such a suffering on over all of you ? Those sky humans could never learn, they were nothing but a cruel species and not welcome to Pandora. And yet, the message was clear she sent me...
My ears were laid flat back, as my forehead met Sha'ti's head, closing my wet eyes still trying to catch the rather irregular breath.
I felt my sisters soul and within it, there was not only my distress but also her fear. Not only because of the state she found me in, but something different. She was here to alert me. Something was wrong, there were some Intruders around, making her uncomfortable and scared. She wanted to leave...now. And so did I.
Finally the queue conntected again and I could leave this behind. This feeling and most importantly: this Vision.
I can't take this task. This is not right.
So ...this was it. This was living in my head rent free and I thought I could write it down to share. This is my little intro. Is it worth writing it all out? If anyone read it I would be more than happy to hear your thoughts on it until now. Please be kind, its my first one. Thank you so much <3
