First Link
I was siting by my link unit waiting. The man Normen was looking at me "What" I ask
"Why are you here?"
"Didn't we go through this on the ship. I was asked by Grace to be here"
"Oh so its Grace now" he said getting aerated
"Yes Spellman" A voice said. We tern to see Grace coming out of the mess hall. "It is Grace for Harry. He has been a family friend for most his life. He saved on of the girls in my family from death when they where only eleven. Now how much link time have you logged?"
"Five hundred and twenty hours." Normen says not looking her in the eyes
Grace looks pointedly at Jake.
"Like, an hour."
"Tell me you're joking" Grace says looking at him. She opens the hood of Jake's link unit. Jake starts hauling himself across from his wheelchair. She reaches to help him but-
"Don't! I got this." Jake said looking pointedly at her. Grace steps back, hands raised. He drags himself into the unit.
"So you just figured you'd come out here to the most hostile environment known to man, with no training of any kind, and see how it went? What was going through your head?" He meets her eyes with a defiant glare.
"Maybe I was just tired of doctors telling me what I couldn't do."
Grace watches him laboriously pull his inert legs into the link chair by hand. Jake finally settles into the warm fluid gel packs lining the unit. Grace adjusts his biometric sensors, then lowers the UPPER CLAMSHELL --
"Relax and let your mind go blank. That shouldn't be hard for you." she said with a small smile. If I hadn't known Snape I wouldn't have seen it.
"Kiss the darkest part of my lily white -" Grace pushes a button and the door closes the door cutting Jake off
After all the other people are in Grace walks up to me "So your avatar is going to be waring different cloths then the others. I wanted to show off the Woodsprite on your back as its a gift from Eywa." I node my head in understanding
"Do you have something to cover up the hollows" I ask turning my wrist to remind her of the mark both me and my avatar share. "I don't want to take the chance that any of the Na'vi that are connected to Eywa knowing what this symbol means and thinking I am a threat."
"Ya I can look for something while your getting checked out by the doctors." I get into the link unit. "Just clear your mind"
"You know the last time someone said that to me I got mind attacked" I say with cross eye and a smile."
Grace give a small chuckle and shuts the door. There where lots of colors. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath and then heard people talking. I open my eyes and see I'm surrounded doctors and scientist.
"He's in" Max says "Can you sit up for us Harry?" I do what he ask. I look down to see I'm waring an asymmetrical sleeve above a bandaged gauntlet, accompanied by a violet waist cloak boasting emerald inlays, with matching buckles crossed my midriff and upper shoulder. 'If this is what I'm wearing what is everyone else wearing.'
"We need to check your motor control. Try touching your fingertips together." Max says grabbing a clipboard. I do so, It felt weird to not have a pinky. "Good can you wiggle your toes" I wiggle my toes. "Excellent "now we need to check your eyes" max shines a light in my eyes and wrights something down as another doctor snaps there hand by my ear making it move and flick like a cats.
"How tall am I" I ask
"You are 2 and half meters tall you are our smallest avatar at 8 feet exactly average is 9 feet and 8 inches.
"Of course I'm the smallest I never get to be the same height as everyone." I say, Max gives a small chuckle and continues to wright things down. It goes on like this for another 20 minutes before another avatar walks in.
"Hey Grace" Max says "well Harry despite your avatar changing and looking different from the rest your in perfect condition.
"That's grate, I got this for you Harry" Grace says slipping on a dark band on my wrist. It had a purple fabric attached to it that covered my hand to the back of my middle finger. But more importantly it covered the hollows. "We have 20 minutes and then we will be going in the forest to get some samples."
"Already?" I ask
"We usually would wait a few days but we are running low on sweet fruit for the avatar bodys." Grace says.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
It had been an hour from when we left the "safety" of hells gate. Our plane was piloted by a nice lady named Trudy Chacon. It kinda seemed like Normen has a thing for her. Finally we landed, Jake and a human army man secures the area as grace tells Trudy to shut down the ship. Grace, towering over the human motions him to hang back.
"Stay with the ship." she pointed at Jake "One idiot with a gun's enough."
"Whatever you say, Doc" the man says leaning on the ship.
We walk for about twenty minutes as Jake whips his gun around pointing at everything that moves. Luckily I haven't felt the death sense so I know he isn't about to shoot anything.
"Relax, Marine. You're making me nervous." Grace says while She pushes ahead of him on the trail, forcing him to lower his muzzle as we follows her.
We walk to a building that was being taken over by the plant life. The moment I walked in all I could feel was death and pain. Whoever passed hear did not do it quickly.
Grace gave a sad smile "The kids were so bright, so eager to learn... they picked up English faster than I could teach it to them." She picked up a photo
Jake and I see something, we approaches the blackboard I reach out to touch a pattern of holes blasted into the slate. Bullet holes, suddenly there where young Navi all around the room. They where all listening to Grace read a book. The door flew open and three older Navi came running into the room. "Grace help" The girl said
"What happened" Grace askes
"/We did bad, we where just trying to help/" one of the boys said
"/what did you do"/ Grace erges
"/we set a dozerbull on fire. It was destroung a syaksyuk tree/" The last boy says. Before Grace could say anything the door flew open again and shots where fired without a care of who was hit. The first boy was shot in the head as was dead before he hit the ground, His blood sprayed some of the younger Navi children. The second boy was hit in the lungs his blood panted the walls, The girl was hit in the neck and stomach. Her blood sprayed Grace. A stray bullet hit a young Navi child in the shoulder. The young boy was trying to protect some of the other children. He fell angst the others as Grace started to yell at the soldiers for coming into her class and harming the children. She grabbed the girl trying to stop the blood flow.
"/come on Sylwanin stay with me/"
"Harry" I felt a hand on my shoulder and I was brought back to the present. Grace was in front of me with a look of concern in her eyes. "You ok?"
"Ya ya I'm fine, just visualizing what happened here"
"Don't you mean TRYING to visualize what happened here" Normen said
"Ya sure" I say as Grace's eyes widen in understanding I had seen the death's as the master
