✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Several days had passed since Saeyra’s last birthday.

Neteyam had told her more than once that she should confess everything to her mother. Sooner or later, that secret would start to weigh more than it already did.

Saeyra, however, still hadn’t found the courage.

Every time she met her mother’s gaze in the laboratory, her chest tightened.

Telling the truth meant disappointing a face that trusted her blindly, and above all, she was terrified of losing everything: the avatar, the freedom she had only just discovered… and Neteyam.

Neteyam, despite not fully approving, stayed by her side,just as he had promised.

One day, they met as usual for training, both holding a bow. Saeyra was very skilled with it; she had trained with a bow ever since she was a child.

“ Let’s try hitting the same target together “ Neteyam said.

They stopped a few meters apart, choosing two different angles. The target was a marked piece of bark, already pierced by previous arrows.

They inhaled almost at the same time.

They released. Two sharp thuds.

“ That was amazing! “ Neteyam exclaimed, turning toward her with an enthusiastic smile.

Instinctively, she stepped closer and raised her hand.

“ Come on, high five! “

Saeyra laughed and lifted her hand… then froze.

“ Oh. Right, i forgot “ she said, holding back a laugh.

“ You only have four fingers.”

Neteyam glanced down at his hand, then burst out laughing too.

It was that moment when something felt… off.

Neteyam froze, his senses alert.

“Wait… stay still,” he whispered

Saeyra tilted her head, confused.

“W-what is it?”

He didn’t answer right away. His gaze swept over the trees,

Then a low, guttural growl broke the silence.

It was one of the most dangerous creatures of the forest. Fanged Mongrel : solitary territorial predators, with powerful jaws and fangs sharp enough to shatter bones.

“Run!” Neteyam shouted, making a quick gesture toward the forest.

Saeyra didn’t hesitate and sprinted between the trees, her heart pounding in her chest.

Just when she thought she was safe, another fanged mongrel appeared in front of her. Smaller than the first, but equally fierce. With a swift leap, it slashed her arm. A sharp pain made her stumble, and a thin streak of blood stained her Avatar.

she grabbed her bow, hands trembling. “I… I can’t let this stop me…” she whispered to herself.

She drew the string, took aim, and let the arrow fly. The shot struck its side, forcing it back a few steps.

The Mongrel growled but finally retreated, allowing Saeyra to put some distance between them.

Her arm burned.

Finally stopping at a safe distance, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. Her hands still shook.

Meanwhile, Neteyam ran up beside her

“ Are you hurt “ he asked, scanning her scratched arm.

“A little… but I’m okay,” Saeyra replied, biting her lip and trying to appear braver than she felt.

Neteyam grabbed Saeyra’s arm, pulling her through the trees.

“ I need to get you to your mother, now “ he said urgently, his gaze fixed ahead.

“ She can treat your wound,we can’t risk it getting worse”

She pressed herself against him, feeling the security of his grip, the warmth of his body next to hers. the only thing that mattered was reaching the lab before the wound worsened.

“ Hold on, we’re almost there.” He said, without taking his eyes off the path ahead.

“ Yes… thank you..“ she replied, trying to steady her breath and the trembling of her hands. “

Neteyam carried Saeyra into the laboratory. The other scientists noticed immediately, and her mother’s eyes widened in shock.

“ What happened? “ she asked, rushing toward them.

“ She’s your daughter, Saeyra, “ Neteyam said firmly

“ she was attacked by a…”

“ My daughter? What is she doing in the Avatar? I… — her mother stammered, overwhelmed by disbelief.

“ We’ll explain everything later, i promise “ Neteyam interrupted “ please, just help her.”

Her mother nodded, swallowing her questions for the moment, and quickly moved to tend to Saeyra, assisted by the other scientists.

Her mother and the other scientists worked quickly, checking Saeyra’s arm and cleaning the scratches. The pain was sharp but manageable, and Saeyra gritted her teeth, trying not to flinch.

He watched her carefully, ready to intervene if she moved too suddenly or winced too hard.

“ You’re doing fine “ he whispered.

“ There, “ her mother said, after a few tense moments,

“ that should hold. Keep the arm still for a while.”

Once the wound was finally treated, Saeyra’s mother turned to Neteyam with a serious look.

“ Neteyam… could you leave me alone with my daughter for a moment? “

Neteyam hesitated for just a second, then nodded, staying near the door.

“ Of course… “ he said calmly, looking at Saeyra

As Neteyam stepped out of the lab, Saeyra’s mother moved closer to her daughter, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.

“ Saeyra, we need to talk” she said, her eyes full of concern and firmness.

“ I want to know everything…why you were out there alone ?what really happened…”

Saeyra felt a knot tighten in her throat. She had feared this moment for days, and now it had arrived.

“ Mom…I… I didn’t mean to lie to you…” she began, her voice trembling

“ I’m not here to scold you… but you have to understand that some choices can be dangerous. “

Saeyra sighed, eyes glistening, and for the first time felt torn between the fear of disappointing her mother and the desire for the freedom she had just experienced in the forest.

“ i know… but I couldn’t wait… i had to experience pandora, even just a little… and… Neteyam was there…”

“ Neteyam? What’s his role in all of this? “ she asked.

Saeyra lowered her gaze, unable to lie any longer.

“ He… helped me…. he kept my secret… he’s always protected me “

“but imagine what could have happened. You could have died, and i wouldn’t have known….I’m disappointed saeyra…”

“ but mom….” she said saeyra, tearing up

Knowing full well that from that moment on, her mother would never allow her to enter the avatar again, and that she could no longer imagine a life together with Neteyam.

At that moment, Neteyam returned, having overheard everything. He stepped forward, his expression serious, but calm.

“ No, ma’am, she may have been wrong to keep it hidden, but she was afraid of disappointing you. She never had the courage to talk to you about it…..I trained with her, and all I’ve ever seen is a strong and brave girl, with a free and kind heart….so please… i ask you to consider that and forgive her.

Saeyra looked between them, her heart pounding.

Neteyam was standing up for her.

Her mother remained silent for a moment, absorbing Neteyam’s words. Her gaze softened as she looked at Saeyra,

“ i suppose i understand. You scared me, Saeyra. You could have been seriously hurt… but… i see now that you were trying to do something important to you “

“ just… promise me you’ll be honest next time, okay? no more secrets that could put you in danger “

“ im sorry mom…. I promise.” then they hugged

Neteyam, still standing nearby, allowed himself a small smile as well.

The lab finally quieted down. The other scientists returned to their work,

“ thank you, Neteyam… do you realy think those things about me?” Saeyra whispered

Neteyam looked at her intensely, his eyes never leaving hers.

“ Yes… really “ he said with a small, sincere smile.

They continued to gaze at each other. they leaned closer, faces inching toward one another.

Just as they were about to close the distance, Neteyam’s comm device turned on. His father’s voice came through urgently.

“ Neteyam, it’s urgent “

“ Yes Sir, i’m coming “

Neteyam’s eyes widened slightly. He glanced at Saeyra.

“ I’m sorry… I have to go. It’s urgent. But… we’ll see each other again “

Saeyra nodded, trying to hide her disappointment, though her heart still raced from the closeness they had shared. Neteyam gave her one last meaningful look before stepping away.

it’s been only 3 days since a saw them, and i miss my babies so much :(((

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

“Will you… keep it a secret?” she asked hesitantly. “The Avatar, I mean.”

He looked at her, surprised.

“You mean… your mother doesn’t know you’re out here?”

“Actually… i snuck out while she wasn’t around,” she admitted. “She forbade me from entering the Avatar. She says I’m not ready yet.”

“Tsk… you’re really reckless,” he muttered.

Saeyra snapped her gaze up, ready to retort…

“But i understand why you did it,” he added. “And i won’t say anything. I promise.”

“You should head back to the base now,” he said gently.

Neteyam climbed onto his Ikran and offered her his arm, helping her up behind him.

“Hold on tight to me.”

Saeyra wrapped herself around him, feeling the warmth of his body against hers and the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. The wind tousled her hair.

They flew over a clearing bathed in the glow of the luminescent plants. Saeyra glanced down at the lights below for a moment, then returned her gaze to Neteyam’s back, this moment would be unforgettable.

Neteyam tilted his head slightly.

“Everything okay back there?”

“Yes… it’s incredible. Pandora is incredible,” she whispered.

Silence returned, but it was comforting, it didn’t require words. Saeyra felt a small smile forming on her lips, surprised at how easy it was to feel at ease next to someone you barely knew.

The Ikran gently glided toward the ground.

“Slowly, you can get down now,” Neteyam said calmly, his hands ready to catch her if necessary.

Saeyra nodded and let herself be guided, feeling his fingers lightly brush her waist as she steadied herself.

A wave of gratitude washed over her, even though she couldn’t explain why. There was something in his presence that made her feel safe.

“Thank you… for bringing me,” she said softly. “I don’t know what i would have done if i had fallen.”

Neteyam gave her a brief, almost shy smile.

“You don’t need to thank me…” he replied. “And… if you want, we can train together someday. I’ll help you feel more confident in your Avatar.”

He tilted his head slightly.

“See you tomorrow, then.”

“Yes… tomorrow,” she responded, with a small smile.

Neteyam turned and headed back into the forest. Saeyra watched him until he disappeared among the trees, then turned and made her way back to the base.

Once inside, Saeyra closed her eyes and focused, letting her consciousness slowly slip back into her human body.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

The following day, she hid among the corridors of the base, waiting for the right moment. She knew her mother would leave to support the other scientists, heading to one of the clans for research and aid.

As soon as the laboratory door clicked shut behind her, she held her breath and approached the Avatar.

Taking a deep breath, she let her consciousness slide into her Na’vi body.

“Saeyra?” — Neteyam’s voice came from the other side of the door.

She held her breath.

“It’s okay,” she whispered, trying to sound composed.

“Can I come in?” he asked

“Are you ready?”

She nodded, though her hands trembled slightly.

“Yes… I think so.”

Without rushing, Neteyam gestured toward his Ikran.

“Come on, I’ll show you something.”

They climbed onto his Ikran and lifted into the air.

“Look at the plants below us,” Neteyam murmured.

“Not everyone gets to see Pandora like this.”

They landed in a quiet spot where no one would pass by.

“Today, we’ll work on agility, balance, and connecting with your Avatar,” he said.

Saeyra nodded, both excited and nervous at the same time.

“Start with a simple jump between these logs,” he instructed.

Neteyam showed her how to land without losing balance, how to use her arms and tail for stability. Each time she slipped, he silently moved closer, calmly explaining how to correct her movements.

And every time his hands brushed hers, Saeyra’s heart skipped a beat.

“You’re incredibly quick. You adapt well.” he said with a small smile.

Saeyra blushed, trying to hide her smile.

After a few minutes, Neteyam pointed to a cluster of higher, closer branches.

“Let’s see who gets to the other side first,” he said with a half-smile.

Saeyra looked at him, surprised. “But… I don’t want to risk falling!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got you,” he replied.

Saeyra accepted the challenge. They climbed the branches side by side. When they finally reached the other side, they both laughed, panting from excitement.

Neteyam smiled at her.

“You’re really strong, Saeyra… You move so naturally… as if the avatar has always been a part of you.”

“I’m not that strong…” she said, trying to downplay it.

Neteyam stepped a little closer as she landed on a lower trunk. “You are,” he said simply.

“You’re learning fast.”

They jumped together across the last branches, laughing, and when they finally stopped, they leaned against the tree.

“So…” he said, tilting his head slightly, his eyes still fixed on hers.

“Are you hungry?”

“Yes .”

“Come on, I’ll show you a place,” he said, pointing toward a trail through the foliage.

They found a small clearing where Neteyam had left some provisions: fruits, nuts, and fresh water from nearby streams.

“Do you want to sit here?” he asked, indicating a smooth stone beside him.

Saeyra sat down next to him, legs folded, while Neteyam opened the provisions. Every now and then, their hands brushed as they passed something or adjusted a fruit.

“These are my favorites,” he said, offering her a juicy fruit.

Saeyra took it and bit into it.

“It’s so sweet… it’s delicious!” she exclaimed, her eyes shining with surprise and delight.

Neteyam laughed softly. “I’m glad you like it.”

Do you want to try some fresh water from the stream?” Neteyam asked, pointing to the small creek nearby.

Saeyra leaned over the stream, trying to scoop some water with her hands, Neteyam right beside her.

She was about to slip on the edge of the stream when Neteyam reached out, his hands aiming for her waist to steady her.

But in that instant, a small slip made her lose her balance. Before she could react, it was Neteyam who fell into the water instead.

“Neteyam!” she shouted.

Without thinking, she let herself fall beside him, ending up both soaked in the cold water.

They found themselves sitting in the stream, drenched from head to toe.

“You’re completely crazy, you know that?” he said, shaking the water from his hair.

“And you’re totally reckless,” she shot back.

They helped each other up and couldn’t stop laughing.

They sat on the riverbank, their feet in the cold water, trying to shake off the drops. Saeyra hugged her knees to her chest.

“Sometimes I wonder… how do you stay so calm all the time?” she murmured.

Neteyam sighed, resting his hands in the water.

“I’m not always,” he admitted softly. “Being the older brother means… carrying a lot of responsibility. My parents rely on me, and sometimes I feel the weight of it all on my shoulders.”

Saeyra looked at him, surprised by his honesty.

“That must be… hard,” she said, searching for the right words.

He nodded, his gaze fixed on the stars reflecting in the water.

“It is. There are moments I just want to… run away. But I can’t. I have to be strong, even when it’s heavy.”

“I really admire you, Neteyam,” she said quietly.

“Me too…” she began, hesitating. “Sometimes I feel… like I have to be strong for others. My mom… she has so much responsibility, and I… I always try not to give her any trouble.”

Neteyam looked at her.

“I understand,” he said with a soft sigh. “It’s hard to carry everything on your shoulders, even when all you want is to be free to make mistakes.”

She lowered her gaze, a little flushed.

“Yes… and sometimes I feel… inadequate. Like I can never keep up with everything.”

He shifted slightly closer, careful not to invade her space.

“Saeyra…” he said softly. “You don’t have to face everything alone. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. And you’re never… alone.”

Her gaze stayed locked on his, and she couldn’t help but think how much more handsome he was up close. She wanted to get closer, to feel him even nearer.

“Shall we get back to training?” Neteyam said, breaking the delicate silence.

The following days passed quickly: every morning, as soon as her mother left the lab, they would rush into the forest.

Each training session became a little world of its own, far from everyone’s eyes, where it was just the two of them. Saeyra learned to understand her Na’vi body, discovering the strength and agility she hadn’t known she possessed, while Neteyam watched her every movement carefully, gauging her limits and guiding her.

And as the days went by, a bond began to form.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

That day, as always, she was sitting in front of the large window overlooking the forest of Pandora.

Years had passed since the incident, and Saeyra still hadn’t found the courage to step beyond that door.

“Saeyra, you’ve been awake for a while, haven’t you?” — her mother’s calm voice came from behind her.

Saeyra nodded, without taking her eyes off the view outside.

“Yes… i was waiting for someone.”

Her mother smiled faintly.

“ He’ll pass by. You know he does, every morning.”

Through the trees, a tall, blue figure appeared.

It was Neteyam Sully. He stopped a few steps away from the fence, right at the exact spot where Saeyra sat every day.

He had no idea how much she admired him, or how her heart raced every time his figure appeared among the trees.

To Neteyam, however, she was just a familiar face, nothing more.

And Saeyra knew that well. She never imagined she’d have a chance with him.

Suddenly, Neteyam entered the lab.

“Is your mother here ?” he asked.

“Oh yes, she’s inside the lab,” She replied.

“Thanks,” he said, giving her a smile.

He was there to pick up the spare masks for Spider.

He spoke briefly with her mother and received the masks from her, carefully placing them in the shoulder bag he carried, then headed back toward the exit.

Passing by her, he gave a small nod in greeting.

“ see you ” she replied, almost in a whisper.

Saeyra stayed there, her gaze fixed on the outside.

For a moment, she imagined what it would feel like to walk beside him in the forest, not separated by a fear she couldn’t explain.

“Saeyra, come here,” her mother called, pointing to the chair next to her.

“Your birthday is coming up in a few days, and there’s something i want to tell you…“

Saeyra looked at her, curious and a little nervous.

“Since the day you were born, I’ve been designing your Avatar.”

Saeyra’s eyes widened.

“ My Avatar?” she asked, almost incredulously.

“Yes,” her mother nodded. “I’ve spent years working on it to make sure it would be ready for the day you were ready to use it, and that day is almost here.”

She showed her the three-dimensional holographic model of the Na’vi body. Saeyra couldn’t look away.

“One day,” her mother continued, taking her hands, “you’ll be able to walk through the forest and breathe without fear. When you’re ready, it will all be there waiting for you.”

“I… I don’t know what to say, Mom…” Saeyra said, tears welling up in her eyes, unable to find words.

“It’s beautiful,” she added, unable to tear her eyes away from the screen.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

A few months had passed, and finally, the day of her birthday had arrived. Her mother was waiting for her in the laboratory.

“Happy birthday, Saeyra,” she said, pointing to the space where her Avatar was kept. “Today, you’ll get to see it in person for the first time.”

As Saeyra entered the room, her breath caught in her throat from excitement.

“You can’t go in today,” her mother’s voice broke the silence,“You need to train first. You’re not ready yet. I want you to learn to know it before you use it. Today, you can only observe.”

“But mom… I’ve been training all these past months! Wasn’t that enough? i was so excited for today…” she said, frustrated.

Her mother looked at her with eyes full of understanding.

“I know, sweetheart,” she replied gently.

“And I’m proud of how much you’ve grown. But using the Avatar isn’t like training in front of a simulator. It’s a real body, in a real world… and you need to be truly ready.”

“But I…” Saeyra felt a knot in her stomach, a mix of frustration and longing.

“Promise me you’ll wait, Saeyra.”

“All right… I’ll wait,” she finally said, a faint smile on her lips.

“After all… I’ve waited my whole life, haven’t I?”

Evening had fallen, and the base was buzzing with activity in preparation for the party. Spider darted back and forth, arranging lights and decorations.

When the scheduled time arrived, the guests began to show up. Kiri, Lo’ak , Tuk, and the others joined the celebration with laughter and gifts. Then, finally, Neteyam entered.

Saeyra’s heart immediately sped up at the sight of him.

“Happy birthday, Saeyra,” he said, offering her a gentle smile.

“Thank you, Neteyam,” she replied, returning the smile shyly.

The party went on with music, dancing, and cheerful chatter. But Saeyra felt the need for a moment alone. She slipped away from the crowd, moving near the door without going too far. She looked up at the stars, the wind brushing through her hair, and inhaled deeply.

Moments later, she heard footsteps behind her. Neteyam was there.

“Oh, there you are,” he said, a playful smile on his lips. “We couldn’t find you.”

“I just wanted to make a wish to Awya, looking at the stars,” Saeyra answered timidly.

He tilted his head, curious.

“And what would your wish be?”

“Aaaa… I can’t tell, or it’ll never come true,” she said, covering her mouth slightly, blushing.

They laughed together, and for a brief moment, everything else faded away. It was the first time they had truly been alone together.

“My dream…” Saeyra began, finding the courage to confess what she felt.

“It’s to finally live like you do, Neteyam. I want to be free,” she concluded.

Neteyam turned to her. For the first time, he seemed to sense something deeper.

He knelt down to meet her at eye level, offering her a warm smile.

“You’re brave and curious, i can feel it,” he said. Then he stood and added, “You can live as you wish, Saeyra,” tilting his head to watch the falling stars.

It was a unique and intimate moment.

Moments later , the base quickly emptied, leaving behind a profound silence. She could only hear the distant laughter of her friends riding their Ikran.

It was at that very moment that Saeyra’s instincts took over. Without a second thought, she entered the laboratory and suddenly awakened inside her Avatar. It was the only form she could remember.

She looked at her hands, her arms, her face.

unable to believe she was truly inside the Avatar.

As she moved her fingers, she felt freedom with every gesture.

As soon as she stepped out of the laboratory, a wave of sensations overwhelmed her. She took a deep breath, the air rich with the scent of moss, flowers, and damp earth filling her lungs in a way she had never experienced before. Every fiber of her body seemed attuned to Pandora.

She danced through the forest in the darkness, illuminated by the glowing plants. She had never felt so alive in her life.

But Pandora’s forest was unpredictable. Just a few steps ahead, the ground vanished into a hidden ravine shrouded by the shadows of the trees. She slipped suddenly, grasping desperately at a protruding root.

“Help!” her voice choked with terror, hoping someone could hear her.

She tried to pull herself up, but she wasn’t trained enough to hold her own weight for long. Her arms trembled.

Suddenly, the sound of an Ikran swooping overhead made her jump. For a moment, she thought this would be the end.

“Hold on tight!” a voice shouted. The boy grabbed her and placed her behind him on the Ikran. She clung to him, closing her eyes, not realizing the person she was holding onto was Neteyam.

“You okay?” he asked, and when he spoke, she recognized him.

“Neteyam?” she whispered.

He turned his head to look at her, his expression a mix of confusion and questions.

“Huh… Saeyra? Is that really you?”

Saeyra felt her heart leap, both thrilled and intimidated. It was the first time Neteyam had looked at her like this.

“Don’t move too much,”

“I’ve got you.”

When they finally landed on solid ground, Saeyra stepped off slowly, her body still shaking from the adrenaline. She turned to look him in the eyes

“ Are you hurt?” he asked

“N-No… I’m okay, th-thank you… for saving me,”

“ When did… this change happen?” he asked

“Tonight,” she replied “My mom designed it for me… but I’m not really good at controlling it yet.”

“ It’s amazing, Saeyra. Now you can stay with us… and live the life you’ve always dreamed of.”

“ I… I’m scared. What if I mess up?”

He shook his head gently. “You won’t. I’ll help you. you don’t have to do this alone.”

For a moment, they just stayed there, close to each other, their breaths mingling. Neteyam reached out a hand, hesitant, and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Saeyra blushed immediately but didn’t look away.

He kept looking at her, his gaze steady and searching, as if trying to memorize every detail of her face.
