Days flew by like leaves in the wind, and I couldn't believe how incredibly sweet Lo'ak and Neteyam were to me. My heart practically did backflips every time they smiled my way! 

And don't even get me started on Snow White! That gorgeous direhorse was an absolute angel. She took me and the Sully kids on the most ah-mazing adventures through the forest. Every day was like stepping into a fairy tale, I swear! 

Chan was nice too, but... sigh I couldn't help but notice how the Sully family, especially you-know-who, seemed extra interested in little ol' me. Jake was always hovering nearby, or if not him, then one of his clan members. Talk about intense! 

It was like I had my own personal bodyguard squad or something. Protected 24/7! Part of me was like, "Umm, personal space much?"  But another part? It felt kinda... special. Like I was precious cargo or a rare flower they couldn't bear to lose.

As I lay in my hammock that night, staring up at the bioluminescent canopy, I couldn't help but wonder: What secrets were hiding behind those piercing Na'vi eyes? And more importantly... was I starting to fall for one of them? 

Only time would tell, but one thing was for sure – my life on Pandora was turning out to be one heck of a ride!

I was chilling in the meadow where Snow White always loved to go first. We'd ridden in together, and I was humming softly to myself when suddenly... 

BOOM! 

The sky erupted with thunderous sounds, like wings tearing the heavens apart! I sat bolt upright, my heart pounding. Snow White was freaking out, too, neighing and stomping the ground like crazy. 

"Hey, hey, what's happening?" I called out to her, my voice shaking.

She whipped around to face me, her eyes wild with fear. Through our bond, I could feel her panic coursing through me. A growl escaped my throat. 

"Let's make sure none of my friends get hurt," I said, my voice ice-cold with determination.

Snow White neighed again and bowed low. In a flash, I vaulted onto her back. And then... we were off! 

We galloped towards a train track where - OMG! - Jake and some other Na'vi were setting fire to one of the trains! 

My mind was racing faster than Snow White's hooves. What was going on? Why were they attacking the train? And more importantly... whose side was I really on? 

As we charged towards the chaos, I knew one thing for sure - this night was about to change everything. My double life was hanging by a thread, and I was galloping straight into the fire... literally! 

I glanced at Lo'ak and Neteyam, knowing they shouldn't be here. Without thinking twice, I launched myself forward, grabbing hold of one of the Ikran's claws. The creature screeched and swooped downward. "Jin-Hyun!" It was Neteyam's voice, filled with concern. I sighed but used the momentum to swing myself over the Ikran's tail and onto its back.

"Don't worry," I said, gently touching Neteyam's back to reassure him. "They shouldn't be here," I hissed angrily afterward.

He let out a deep sigh. "I know, but Lo'ak insisted," he said. I rolled my eyes, spotting the youngest Sully boy riding recklessly not far from us. Just then, an explosion erupted, painting the sky with blazing colors, and my heart pounded wildly, trapped like a frantic bird in a cage. "No," I breathed, leaping off Neteyam's Ikran without a second thought.

"Jin-Hyun, what are you doing?!" Neteyam's voice echoed with desperate urgency, but I was already in motion. In a heartbeat, I found myself on Snow White's back. She whinnied sharply, her eyes wide with indignation, but I couldn't help but laugh softly at her stubbornness. I didn't have time to dwell on it, though, as a surge of energy awakened within me, roaring to life.

Before anyone could react, Lo'ak was thrown off his Ikran. In its place stood a colossal monster, its deafening roar silencing the battlefield. Even Jake paused in stunned disbelief, staring at the creature larger than anything he had ever seen. Its wings spread wide, and its claws glistened like elongated knives, menacing and deadly. The beast snarled at the sky people's train, which was soon engulfed in explosions. Instead of attacking outward, the beast lunged inward, devouring the cargo-laden train cars. With a final, guttural growl, the creature transformed back into a Na'vi, cooing gently as it lowered its head.

Jake and Neytiri descended swiftly on their Ikran. Jake dismounted, his eyes scanning the chaos.

"H—What happened? Where is Jin-Hyun?" Neteyam's voice trembled as he questioned his father. Jake's eyes widened as he turned to his son, shock evident in his expression.

"Jin-Hyun was with you?" he asked, his voice filled with surprise and concern.

Neteyam nodded. "Y-yes, she was riding with me for a while before she suddenly jumped off. Where's Snow White?"

They soon saw the white direhorse trotting up to the majestic creature that had been purring moments ago. Snow White neighed softly, approaching the beast and nuzzling its enormous face. It looked almost serene as it closed its (e/c) eyes, a striking contrast to the chaos that had ensued. Jake and his family watched in awe and confusion.

"I'm sorry this happened, Jake. I know I broke the rules, but I couldn't let your family be captured," a familiar voice echoed.

Jake blinked in astonishment. "Jin-Hyun?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

The beast nodded, and in that moment, they knew Jin-Hyun had been hiding within the monstrous form all along.

"How did this happen?" Neteyam asked, approaching the beast—or rather, Jin-Hyun—as sharp milk-white teeth glinted in the sunlight.

"I don't know," she confessed, her voice a mixture of wonder and confusion. "I just saw Lo'ak... and you guys in trouble, and I felt this powerful impulse." She smiled mischievously, as if embracing a secret part of herself. "I think it was time for me to become who I'm meant to be."

In a flash, the enormous beast vanished, and Jin-Hyun lay before them, her transformation complete. The realization settled over them like gentle rain, profound and undeniable.
