Bianca's POV

"I want to show you something" Aunt Grace tells me. I have been trying to find a way to tell her in private about me becoming a true Na'vi. But there's camera and security everywhere. Not to mention we always have our radios on.

"Sure, where are we going?" I ask her.

"It's a surprise, grab your mask" she states. So I grab my breathing mask and follow her to the hanger. To see Trudy waiting for us in front of her baby (jet) along with Max and my aunt's unconscious Avatar body.

"What's going on? Where are we going? Why is your avatar here?" I ask my aunt.

"It's a surprise " she states getting into the jet. I greet Max and Trudy before hoping in. "So what did you wish to tell me?" she asks. "Don't play coy, I know you've been hiding something the last couple of days" she says.

"Sylwanin, wishes to see my human form. So I thought tomorrow when you go to the school, I could go in human form. Then hang out with her" I explain.

"It'll be dangerous, your human body isn't accustom to working so hard. You'd have to stay within sight of the school and have your radio on at all times. Do you understand?" she asks.

"Crystal" I say smiling. We take off and put our masks on. I enjoy the view the whole ride and soon realize we were heading for the floating mountains. "You didn't tell me the new research base was operational" I say confused.

"Surprise" she says smiling. We land in front of the new base and quickly head inside. Where Aunt Grace turns the power on and Max checks the three pods inside. "Now we still have sometime, why don't you go tell Sylwanin the good news. I'll prepare you dinner here" she states.

So I do that and Eytukan and Mo'at prepares for the ceremony tomorrow afternoon. I then return to see Aunt Grace only there. "Max forgot some equipment, he'll be back tomorrow morning. So let's eat" Aunt Grace states.

"Aunt Grace, before I did not tell you the whole truth" I tell her.

"I know, so are you going to tell me now?" she asks.

"Yes, you remember what I told you back on Earth. Before you invited me to come with you here?" I ask.

"Of course, you felt like you didn't belong on Earth" she states.

"I've found I a place where I belong, among the Omaticaya people. They're offered me a place among them, a true place" I tell her.

"But you're human" she says confused.

"There's a way for them to transfer my entire being into my Avatar form. But to do so, will kill my human body" I state. "If I do this, I can become part of the tribe and form a peace treaty. However, if things get worse. I may never see you again" I explain.

"Is this what you really want?" she asks and I nod my head. "Then do it and know I am proud of you no matter what. When will this happen?" she asks.

"Tomorrow, I have a favor though" I tell her. "When they bury my human form, I have asked that you may attend. They agreed" I state.

"I'd be honoured" she says.

(Next day)

"Tutee see moe" I say as Neytiri and Sylwanin appear outside the school.

"I see you" they says smiling.

"What this?" Sylwanin asks gesturing to my air mask.

"An air mask, it allows me to breath out here. Without it, I'll die in this body" I explain.

"Everything is ready, come" Neytiri tells me as aunt Grace appears.

"One moment" I tell her and run to my aunt hugging her tightly. "I love you, see you tomorrow" I say smiling. Before leaving with the other two mounting a direhorse behind Neytiri. We ride to the tree of souls. A place I've only heard about until now and it's beautiful. I notice most of the tribe was here and take a deep breath dismounting.

"You are young" Tsu'tey says a little shocked.

"But strong and smart" I tell him. "So what do I do?" I ask Mo'at as she approaches with Eytukan. I notice everyone seems to be dressed in their finest and feel under dressed.

"You must change, follow Neytiri" she tells me and I follow Neytiri. Soon I am covered in leaves and my mask. We walk slowly to the front of the tree onto a podium. Where I am laid down with my back to the tribe beside my avatar body. I start to feel tiny threads covering my body as the area glows. Mo'at and the tribe begin to chant.

"Tìng mikyun ayoheru rutxe, ma Nawma Sa'nok" Mo'at prays. (Translation: Hear us please, Great Mother).

"Srung si poeru, ma Eywa" the tribe says. (Translation: Help her, Eywa).

"Pori tireati, munge mì nga" Mo'at chants. (Translation: Take this spirit into you).

"Srung si poeru, ma Eywa" the tribe says. (Translation: Help her, Eywa).

"Ulte tìng ayoer nì'eyng hu ngeyä ya" Mo'at says. (Translation: and breathe her back to us).

"Srung si poeru, ma Eywa" the tribe chorus. (Translation: Help her, Eywa).

"Tivìran po ayoekip" Mo'at says. (Translation: Let her walk among us).

"Srung si poeru, ma Eywa" the tribe repeat. (Translation: Help her, Eywa).

"Na Na'viyä hapxì" Mo'at asks. (Translation: as one of The People).

"Srung si poeru, ma Eywa" the tribe say again. (Translation: Help her, Eywa). As everything begins to go dark as I see a bright light. Neytiri kneels over me with Mo'at.

"Lu hasey!" Mo'at states. (Translation: it is finished). Was the final  thing I heard before I embraced the light.

Zukika's POV

My eyes open, blinking in the light of the tree of souls. "Can moe hear me?" Mo'at asks as Neytiri holds me hand.

"Srane" I say and sit up slowly. I look at my now useless human body and smile sadly.

"Tomorrow we bury your past and get your own Ikran" Tsu'tey says.

"Where is Sylwanin?" I ask.

"I have not seen her since I took you to change" Neytiri says looking for her sister.

"Some of the young hunters are missing also" Eytukan states. Just then the kids from my aunt's school run into the clearing looking scared.

"What has happened children?" Neytiri asks them gently.

"Young hunters attack school, many of them die" one the older ones explains as they shed tears.

"Sylwanin?" we all ask.

"Sky people kill her and other hunters" a boy says.

"I'm so sorry, I don't deserve this" I say tearing up. "I'll leave if you wish me to" I tell Mo'at and Eytukan.

"No you need not leave" Mo'at assures me.

"She's right you are Omaticaya now" Eytukan states. "But I'm afraid you may never see Grace again" he tells me gently. "In fact it is forbidden to talk to sky people of to bring them to home tree" he declares for all to hear. This was suppose to be a joyful day and it ends in heart break. We return to home tree where Eytukan gives a speech and we eat. I then go to my bed which was on Sylwanin's other side. Now there is nothing but an empty bed between Neytiri and I.

"I am sorry Neytiri" I say quietly.

"I do not blame you Zukika and neither does anyone else" she tells me gently.

"But I feel so guilty" I tell her.

"Just focus on the positives" she states. Before going to sleep in her hammock. I soon follow suit and dream for the first time in my avatar my form. It is the first time I've fallen asleep in this form and not awoken in my human one. I guess that means, it really worked and I am a true Na'vi now.
