Neytiri
Bianca's POV
I sat by the stream waiting for Sylwanin and her sister Neytiri the following day. Aunt Grace said she'd pick me up a two and it was eleven o'clock now. Soon I felt a presence behind me and turn to see Sylwanin. "Tutee see moe" I say smiling and she repeats before giving me a hug. (Translation: I see you).
"Neytiri!" Sylwanin calls and a beautiful young Na'vi slightly older then her appears.
I bow my head to her doing the hand gesture Sylwanin taught as I say "Tutee see moe". Neytiri smiles and says the same back, before asking what I am. I thought about how to explain it simply. I know their tribe calls us the 'sky people'. But how do I explain my Avatar body? Well I'm practically dreaming almost and still walking like a normal person. "Seempu" I tell her and she looks thoughtful for a moment.
"Sempu?" she asks and I nod my head (translation: dreamwalker). "My sa'nu teach moe our language" she states and I nod my head. Sylwanin had been teaching me their language, though it was difficult at first. Neytiri gestured to her eyes and I realize she was testing me.
"Nari" I tell her and she points to her nose. "Ontu" I answer and she points to her ears. "Milkyun" I say and she shakes her head laughing gently.
"Mikyun" she tells me and I smile sheepishly. "Name Zukikatomika" she says pointing to me.
"Kehe, Bianca" I say pointing to myself.
"Na'vi name, Zukikatomika" she clarifies and I smile feeling accepted after receiving my own name from them. "Do moe taron?" she asks and I said a little (translation: do you hunt?). My father took me once before he died and Sylwanin was showing me how to track yesterday. "Do moe makto?" she asks and I nod my head smiling. I love to ride.
"Za'u" Sylwanin says grabbing my hand (translation: come). She leads me over to three direhorse and I smile broadly at her. We all get on one and Neytiri leads the way with Sylwanin teaching me a few new words along the way. When we reach a clearing we stop and dismount.
Neytiri and Sylwanin then start to show how to read a trail notice the tiniest scents & sounds. We hide watching dog like creatures it appeared to be a mother with her pups. "What are they?" I ask Sylwanin.
"Viper wolves" she states quietly and Neytiri shh's us. Then we go on a hunt Sylwanin and I watching Neytiri. It was very educational and my stealth was improving. As well as my agility, I just need to trust my body to know what to do. Once Neytiri made the shot she did some sort of prayer to Eywa.
"Eywa?" I ask Sylwanin.
"Eyktan of our kelku" she explains (translation: mother of our home). So Eywa is their god and their mother Earth. Sylwanin and Neytiri prepare the meat & cook it. While I picked some Yovo fruit for us. We then eat quietly each learning a few words of each others languages. I then ask what we're doing next as I drank some water.
"Ayram alusìng" Neytiri tells me.
"Ayram?" I ask knowing alusing means mountains. Sylwanin gets a leaf and places it in the stream.
"Ayram" she says pointing to the floating leaf.
"Floating mountains, this I have to see" I tell myself. With that we get back onto our direhorse and begin our journey. We reach a cliff side twenty minutes later and there really are floating mountains. This place just gets more beautiful the more I see it. (Picture of the mountains: https://pre00.deviantart.net/16a6/th/pre/i/2012/362/6/5/hallelujah_mountains_by_frostbyte2-d5pj4yz.png). "This is amazing" I tell them smiling.

Neytiri than makes this weird calling sound and suddenly a banshee appears. I grab Sylwanin avoiding it's eyes as Neytiri gives it a piece of uncooked meat. "This is her Ikran" Sylwanin tells me slowly in English.
"Ikran, is that what they're called?" I ask and she nods her head. Neytiri forms a bond with it and hopes onto the saddle on it's back. Before it takes off and I run to the edge of the cliff with Sylwanin. "That's amazing" I say as we watch Neytiri fly.
"What ago?" Sylwanin asks as Neytiri lands in front of us and I nod my head. She tells Neytiri who holds her hand out to me. With her help I climb on behind her and then wrap my arms around her securely.
"'ekong" she asks and I nod my head (translation: ready?). We take off fast and I hold her tighter laughing in joy. This was so much fun, I wish I had my own Ikran. I felt a spray of water as the Ikran's wing skimmed through falling water.
"irayo so nìtxan" I tell her after we landed (translation: thank you so much). "But I must go" I say sadly looking at my watch.
"Stream?" Sylwanin asks and I nod my head. We mount our direhorse as Neytiri's Ikran leaves and then gallop to the stream racing each other. Sylwanin won and we say our goodbyes. "Tomorrow?" she asks and I nod my head before they disappear. Aunt Grace arrived five minutes later with two soldiers and a pilot. I get into the plan and tell Aunt grace about my amazing day.
Sylwanin's POV (home tree)
Neytiri was telling father and mother what she learnt about the new strangers from Zukikatomika. I was worried father would ban me from seeing my new friend. But she has done nothing wrong to harm us or our home and is a quick learner. She could join us and become apart of the tribe.
"Eyktan, can Zukikatomika join us?" I ask my mother as she walked over to me.
"nì'aw txo tutean is willing to slu a Iknimaya Na'vi" she tells me. (Translation: only if she is willing to become a true).
"tutee can persuade her tutean is my friend" I assure her. (Translation: I can persuade her she is my friend). Mother goes to speak to father and they speak in whispers as Neytiri places her arm around me in comfort.
"Zamunge her here alone" father tells me and I thank him as I hug both him and mother. (Translation: bring her here alone) I can't wait to tell her tomorrow. We have dinner with the rest of the tribe and father told them of our guest tomorrow. Then Neytiri and I go to our beds that are beside each other.
Bianca's POV
I woke up in my capsule and open the cover. Aunt Grace was having a cigarette while my vitals are checked. Afterwards we did our reports and had dinner. I then taught her the new words I had learned and about the floating mountains. Before she told me to go to bed as we were going out earlier tomorrow.
