xxvii. brothers and sisters

ODESSA moved away from Graces body, stepping closer to Neytiri who held her arms out. She could see the pain that was sketched across her mates face, and the two shared that pain because of the bond they had formed.

Jake sighed and stood up, Odessa could tell he was determined to make the sky people pay. He reached his hand out to Niave, who took it without any hesitation, standing beside him as the two stood in front of Tsu'tey.

"With your permission, I will speak now. You would honor me by translating." Jake asked Tsu'tey, honouring the status he held. Tsu'tey nodded and stepped beside Niave. Jake looked out at the people, who were looking at him, paying attention.

"The Sky People have sent us a message." Tsu'tey translated for Jake, his words coming out in the Na'vi language so everyone would be able to understand him. "That they can take whatever they want and no one can stop them. Well, we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind will carry you. You tell the other clans to come."

Tsu'tey smiled at the plan Jake was telling the Omaticaya people. He translated proudly, the Omaticaya people stood and spoke in agreement at the translated speech.

"You tell them Toruk Macto calls to them." Jake spoke with passion. "And you fly now with me! My brothers! Sisters! And we will show the Sky People, that they cannot take whatever they want, and that this, this is our land!"

"This is our land!" Neytiri cheered, raising her hands into the air.

Odessa watched Jake. She wasn't angry with him anymore, ( of course there was still this piece of her heart that was disappointed in him for his previous actions ), she was proud of what he was doing.   He needed to be the one who lead them beside Tsu'tey to win the war, well she stood by and helped. She wanted to help save everyone she could, and she didn't want the extra weight on her shoulders titled leader, she was a warrior.

The people roared and yipped in excitement and agreement as Jake quickly grabbed Niaves hand and pulled her away from the tree of souls and towards Toruk.

"Let's go!" Tsu'tey cheered and everyone began to run off towards their own Ikran.

They would prepare for war now. Gathering other clans who would help them defeat the sky people and save their land.

Odessa smiled, looking towards Neytiri who smiled back. The two moved alway from the crowd, calling for the Ikrans who landed nearby quickly.

Everyone else who boarded their Ikran and flew, followed behind Jake and Niave towards the lighter orange sky. Odessa and Neytiri were close beside them, looking over their shoulders to see the people that followed behind.

"Yah!" Niave let out a war cry.

🌍.

JAKE wasn't just a warrior in his own mind, he was a leader who would help Tsu'tey and the other clans defend the forest. Although, in his own mind, Odessa was much more of a leader than him.

She could look someone in the eyes, convince them to help the Omaticaya clan in the war that had started in a snap, and she could still tell the children of whoever's parents were joining their army that they would come home safely. Jake knew he couldn't do that. He couldn't form those bonds like Odessa did.

He knew that she was letting him take the leading position because he needed a way back in with the clan. It's why she had handed him the perfect plan that involved Toruk. Odessa was in with the clan, they forgave her, and she had helped save a young girl, that had also been her helping hand back into the clan.

Jake watched beside Niave as Odessa talked kindly to the Olo'eyktan and the Tsahìk. She was telling them of the war they may not be able to succeed in without their help.

Odessa tells every clan they see the same thing; "I am not asking you to die for us, only help us in protecting the forest and those who live among it." Jake ends up nodding along as Tsu'tey stands beside the two dream walkers and confirms that what she is asking for is what he and the others want.

🌍.

WAR was here.

Odessa had painted herself in teals, greens and yellow paints. Neytiri had done the same, only her war paint was painted across her blue skin in different patterns. The two mates wore their one battle gear — Neytiris was much more worn and beautiful, like something a warrior princess would wear — Odessas was new, molded from the trees of where she and the Omaticaya clan now resides.

"You will be safe, right love?" Odessa stepped towards Neytiri who was securing the saddle her Ikran had resting over its body.

Neytiri turned around, her fathers bow around her shoulder. Like how Jake had shown her. "My father told me to protect the people, and I shall. If I die, I shall die a warriors death."

Odessa frowned slights before she plastered on a fake smile. "You are so brave, love. Here." Odessa pulled out what looked to be a necklace with two large beads on it and many smaller ones along the string. "Two beads; one for us meeting eachother, and the other for the day we mated under Eywa."

Neytiri smiled and her eyes widened in happiness. "Can I wear it?"

Odessa nodded and placed the homemade necklace around Neytiris neck. "There you go, you look even more beautiful, my love."

"Dessa? Ready?" Jake stepped to where Odessa and Neytiri were. The two of them were going to leave the area first, Jake on Toruk and Odessa on her Ikran, Tessano. They would attempt to distract some of the ships which would hopefully give some more time to the others who would by flying on their Ikrans.

Odessa looked back at Neytiri who nodded her head. "I'm ready. Let's go."

Odessa and Jake left shortly after that. The rest of the riders in the air and on land would fly shortly after they had left, only leaving a good ten minutes before the rest showed up to attack.

Odessa watched as ships landed on the ground. She knew that many of the clans she had helped recruit would charge head first towards them. They could handled them.

"He is in that ship," Odessa pointed out, raising her bow and readying an arrow.

Jake shook his head furiously. "No, Dessa, no! You will have your change, but right now, you need to stick to the plan."

The plan. Jake and Odessa risking their lives and distracting the RDA pilots and gunners so the Na'vi people on their Ikrans would have an surprising attack on the humans.

"Fine." Odessa grumbled and yipped,  her Ikran flying off the rock it had been perched on. It was in direct line of the RDA, and the ones who flew the ships with enough explosives to ruin the whole forest.

Jake and Toruk flew down next.

They knew that once Quaritch saw them, he would want nothing more than to kill them for becoming traitors.
