It had been raining all day. The shore of the river and lake nearby had flooded and risen. Not much was getting done with this storm. The winds were beginning to pick up as well. We had to tell those in the clan to stick close to home, or they'd get caught up in the storm.

The day was peaceful and smooth after we had moved everyone into the second level of Mehutral. Our valley was starting to flood and it was beginning to feel crowded. I was surprised to find myself and Tsu'tey not panicking. Well, of course Tsu'tey isn't panicking, he helped devise the plan if any natural disasters occur.

Though we may not have been panicking, Neytiri, and so many others were.

"Kxuke srak?"

"Srake ayoeng kxuke?"

Memories of hometree falling were fresh in their heads.

I heard the cries of the Ikrans from above. Their piercing screeches were warnings of the high winds.

We were all held up in this bunker like space in between the top of Mehutral and the very bottom. I knew there was little to do but meditate or sleep, and I fell asleep while trying to meditate and listen.

When I woke, the floods had receded and the rain had slowed.

The rebuilding began.

We had lost our totems, herbs and recently harvested food. Not only that but we had to move all of our maps, woven hammocks, and rain protecting hammocks into the upper parts of hometree. We had moved artifacts and traditional pieces into the second half of hometree with the other totems.

I had worried about the pa'li herd nearby which is where all of them are, but it seems they were on a plateau not too far away.

--------------------

I was helping rebuild the stables to attract the Pa'li herd, which it did after an hour of putting it back together. Everything seemed alright. No one was missing, and only a few things were damaged. But, the slippery wet earth made it hard to get much done.

The clan's spirits were high. And I was grateful that the storm hadn't affected us too harshly.

Slow winds which smell like wood and rain, the scribbling of a pencil on paper. A sigh. I was taking some time to myself to relax after the storm. I knew Jake had it handled. And Tsu'tey was helping aid other clans affected by the storm.

The Mangkwan, Ni'awve, Li'ona, and the Tipani had all been affected. All of our warriors and those who wanted to help were at each of these clans. Mo'at and I had been left to oversee the clan. Norm and my students weren't too far away, all making maps of the area to keep track of where things are supposed to be.

Our clan's new territory is slightly larger than our old home, so we're still mapping it out to make it easier to travel through. The Palonko clan has the most territory, but they are very far away and they have more than one place their clan lives. The Payatanvi clan is the second largest and they have several settlements spread out on their plains.

We have three lakes, a deep jungle terrain, and some plains near each lake. We moved north east of our original home and away from Hell's Gate. To do that, we had moved through the Li'ona clan's territory. That's how we became familiar with them.

I was glad to see their land and people healing with the RDA gone, but I couldn't help but see their unease with us moving. Since, we lost many things in the fire, the Kxan'okrol(Lore Keepers) have been looking into our past by asking our ancestors and those before them for their stories. I wished to help them, but I was excluded from it since I never finished my training under them.

Needless to say, I have been listening to anything but Eywa recently. Which is why Mo'at is having me meditate and listen to Eywa. But Eywa is silent today.

"Mo'at-" Thwap! Her tail smacked the my back.

"Focus!" She hissed, "She's always speaking to us. Whether it is a whisper or a shout, the great mother is always reaching out to us." She said in a sagely tone.

"Mo'at, is there anywhere quieter? I'm having a hard time clearing my head." I ask.

"My child, though it is hard, you must learn to listen through the noise." She laid a hand on my shoulder, "I will leave you to it." She got up and walked away.

She's usually like this. Encouraging but stern. Even more so today. I keep trying to clear my head but it's thick with fog, the fog being the noises all around me. I focus on nothing and take a deep breath. The steady wind rushing by my ears turns into song. There isn't a melody, but a strong voice, the voice of the woman I had met when I transferred into this body. The great mother was singing.

It brought a smile to my face, but what did it mean? Was she happy? It seems so, I hope so. I should speak with Mo'at.

When I opened my eyes, Mo'at was already there.

"You hear her." She stated. She was sitting in front of me.

"Yes" I gulped, "I do, but I don't know what it means." I folded my hands in my lap.

"We will have to see in the future, it has been a long time since I heard her sing." Mo'at sighs. I sigh with her, I finally hear her, but we don't know what it means.

"When was the last time you heard Eywa sing?"

"It was the day you and JakeSully were brought to us. Before that, Sylwanin was born." She smiled sadly, "That is why I favor you like a daughter. Not only do you resemble her, but you have the same gifts Eywa gave her."

I smiled, "I wish I had known her, maybe I can still learn from her." Mo'at shook her head sadly.

"I have taught you more than I had time to teach Sylwanin. However, Neytiri may have much to teach you."

--------------------

Tsu'tey returned days later with his group. Several others had already came home, but a few were still helping the Li'ona clan. Jake was there and so was Saeyla, Atan and Takuk. Ka'ani and Maru had returned with Tsu'tey. They seem very happy together. Ka'ani more than Maru. She still had her sights on Tsu'tey.

Anyway, Tsu'tey was busy and he looked upset. I wasn't sure if I should talk to him or not. His temper is still as fiery as the day I met him. And loud noises still scare me. So, instead I gave him a peck on the cheek before leaving to see Txan'aritx.

Txan greeted me gleefully.

"It's good to see you two."

"It's good to see you too- Wait what do you mean two?"

"You didn't know, I'm sorry." He panicked a little, "Please don't be mad." I looked around.

"What do you mean two?" I look at my lizard-like friend.

"I think you know what I mean." He said. We didn't have to say anything beyond that. I know what he means. But I don't know what to do now. Do I tell Tsu'tey right now, do I tell Mo'at? Neytiri? Jake? I should tell Norm.

"Txan I nee-"

"I know get on." I hopped on Txan without his saddle it felt like that same day I protected Tsu'tey, I hope I am protecting him now.

We made it to the foot of Mehutral and I raced up into it's spiral core to find Norm. When I did find Norm, he was with the Kxan'okrol. He was learning to be a lore keeper. I knew I had to wait because their stories are lengthy and important.

"Norm, I have something very important to talk to you about."
