Grace IV

Arriving at the large clearing that was under the tribe's mother tree, Aleyx could see how several hundred members of the tribe were already gathered, while a great clamor and noises were heard throughout the place.

"Mawey, tsmukan, mawey!"

With the order given, everyone fell silent, as the Na'Vi greeted Aleyx.

"Busdary ikseys, izha maruk, Olo'eyktan" (We found a dream walker, Olo'eyktan) Sume'y, bringing a bound Grace, presented himself before Aleyx, while placing Grace in front of Aleyx.

Aleyx, with his gaze full on Grace, could only let a small smile show on his face, but then his gaze hardened.

"What are you doing here? A dream walker is not welcome in my tribe."

Grace, showing a look of disbelief, looked surprised, since the words of 'my tribe' did not go unnoticed, meaning that Aleyx was now the new Olo'eyktan.

So without knowing what to do, she decided to make the universal human movement of greeting, and extending her hand, which had been released at Aleyx's request, she approached him with the intention of greeting.

The gesture was not well received by anyone, and that was evident when Grace had more than a dozen spears at her neck, in addition to several Na'Vi pointing at her.

Aleyx, on the other hand, could only shake his head, thinking how in the movie, Jake's behavior had been the same.

Before things could get out of control, Aleyx gave an order, making everyone stop their hostilities.

"You have to be careful, even some trained turtles almost died for reaching out," Aleyx said, with a smile on his face.

Grace, not understanding Aleyx's point, could only retract her hand, seeing that it was not a welcome gesture.

Just at that precise moment, M'aora, the Tsahik of the tribe, and mother of Aleyx, arrived at the place, accompanied by two large beasts, seawater and beige, with four limbs, unlike most creatures. On Pandora, large claws and four long fangs in her mouth.

Not only that, but its body was covered by bone plates, and judging from its roughness to the eye, it should be no less strong than the shell of the Titanothere, in addition to two neural tails on the back, and a large tail that It ended in a large pointed spur.

M'aora, with an angry and serious look on her face, approached Aleyx in a determined manner, while everyone gave her room to walk.

"Diwelty dimer'le, moriak tesa da'er" (What is she doing here?) M'aora began to ask, still not understanding why Grace had not been killed a long time ago.

Aleyx, without any concern from his mother, only responded with a calm voice; "I know her, she is different from the rest, she loves Eywa, and we could learn from the sky people with her help"

"You know what happened the last time we let demons into our lands, I don't intend to repeat the mistake twice," M'aora said, taking out a knife that she carried in a sheath tied to her chest.

But just then, when Grace thought that her avatar would be killed, the two beasts that had followed whom Grace believed to be the Tsahik of the tribe, judging by her attire and the ceremonial garments she wore, approached. To her.

Making everyone, who had been murmuring about the situation, suddenly fall silent, the two beasts were more than ordinary animals, since like the Tulkun, the two creatures that had been with M'aora possessed an enormous level of intelligence, being able to communicate with the Na'Vi, and who had always been the spiritual guides of each Tsahik of the tribe, in addition to being the most direct source with Eywa, along with the spirit trees, the most direct channel with Eywa. Being by far the most sacred and protected creatures in the tribe.

Now, these creatures had approached Grace, which began to surround and inspect Grace, and from time to time brushed her with their neural tails.

After what Grace felt was several hours, but in reality only lasted a few seconds, the two creatures approached M'aora again, who proceeded to communicate through gestures and sounds with the two.

For her part, Grace was amazed, an enormous level of neural and symbolic connection was happening in front of her, the largest recorded so far.

After M'aora finished communicating with her spiritual guide, she addressed everyone; "People! Today we have a visit from a dream walker, perhaps sent by the people of heaven, perhaps not, it does not matter, what matters is that Eywa has spoken, and I obey" after saying that, M'aora He approached Grace with knife in hand.

Seeing this, the tension in the air became more evident, which was improved when M'aora cut Grace's remaining bonds, only with a look of internal struggle. "She will be trained in the Subaiyan ways, she will learn from Eywa... and if she survives in the end. She will awaken as another member of the tribe" M'aora finished saying, and then returned from where she came, feeling that her role had been fulfilled. Finished.

After several hours, Grace climbed the thick branches of the large tree that served as home to the Subaiya tribe, wearing Na'Vi clothing, and with a radiant smile on her face.

Grace, with swollen eyes, after crying with emotion upon knowing that she had been received into the tribe, climbed with euphoria until she reached a part where there were several members of the tribe, the majority being young, who would soon be passed through the training of the tribe, to become warriors or apprentices of M'aora.

Arriving at the place, Grace observed how everyone stared at her, but as a scientist, who had to give talks on genetics and zootechnics, it was not difficult for Grace not to feel bad, so without stopping, she approached the bonfire. Who was in the middle of the place, and then sat in the middle of two Na'Vi.

"I want you early tomorrow in the field of Estir'lwos," said a Na'Vi woman to Grace, who had a stern face; "Okay, I'll be there" Grace replied, nodding her head.

"At least you already know our language, I hope you're not a waste of time," the Na'Vi told him, and then went to sit in a part away from everyone.

Grace, after that, prepared to eat and drink, and then be guided to the vines that acted as hammocks, ending her extraordinary day.
