I stare at the blue sky above me, it was a clear day. The sun was just rising. I was normally out at this time , its a time of meditation and to connect with Eywa. I look down at the clear water beneath me and slowly swish my hands side to side observing this fish below me.

I dive under the water swimming deep into the reef, I look around me at the beautiful Coral and creatures.

Because of my love for the Ocean im one of the best divers in the tribe.

I swifly swim back to the surface and my ilu waiting for me .

" Hello Slù" I say stroking her back.

I look up to the sky, the sun was rising.

I sigh. I reach for my tendrils and connect it to my ilu .

A swifly get onto her back and I begin to drift through the water . As I approach the beach I see mother waiting for me on the sand .

As I arrive on the beach I disconnect the bond and my ilu swims back towards the reef. I watch her collide into the distance and I turn around.

I smile at the sight of my Mother . I've always had a close relationship with her , we are similar . Although sometimes we clash she has taught me all of which I know.

I run out of the water and up to her .
She puts her arms out to me and I happily umbrage her hug.

"Morning Mother" I say realising myself from the inbrace.

"Y/n" She says softly
" I knew you would be here, come i need help with preparing breakfast for your father"

I nod and follow her up the beach.
The tribe was now filled with Na'vi lining up to get food and daily supplies. As I walk up to the front of the line I take a sack of food from Tsieya.

" Morning sister" I say
" Morning Yn, how was the reef"
" Yes , very peaceful"

She nods and turns to give another Na'vi a sack of food. I walk up to Mother who was talking to another Na'vi.

As she sees me she begins to walk over to our hut . Its the largest as its home to Tonowari my father . He is out fishing for lunch with my brother Anoung.

I walk past the familiar surroundings of my village and hop on the netting that forms a path above the ocean.
By the time I arrive at my hut Mother is already setting out the utensils for the meal.

"You are a very slow walker.." she mocks as I walk in.

" Or you are just strangely fast" I say sitting down beside her.

" I am with child and I am faster then you, hm?"

I laugh and hand her the white sack threaded from shells and dried seaweed.

Everything is now set up ready for the meal . I move a chóup knife next go the clams.

"There" I say huffing down next to mother .

" Yes now I must-"

" No,you rest here" i say

She strokes her stomach thoughtfully.
"Y/n , could you hand out the sacks for lunch today, I feel I need to rest this afternoon " She says

" Yes of course" I say , putting my hand over hers

Just then Father, Anoung and Tsieya walk into the hut .

" Yes food!" Anoung says rushing to the clams

Mother slaps his hand away.
She tuts.
"Wait for your Father to at least sit down fist ,bòa?"

I chuckle as Anoung places himself down next to me and Tsieya on the other side of Mother .

Father takes his seat in a thrown like chair made out of bamboo and red seaweed. I begin to pick up the chòup knife and easily open the clams .

I pass one to father then to Mother .
Finally I open one for myself.

I give the knife to Tsieya, after Anoung tried to snatch it from me . I smirk at him and Tsieya laughs.

"So, how was fishing today?" Mother asks father
" Yes very good , plenty of fish and clams for lunch" He replies

"Anoung even lead the hunt"

I look over to my Brother and slap him on the back.

" Welldone brother, though I'm surprised you caught anything " I mock.

"I also soor your ilu swimming around this morning " he replies munching on his food.

" Yes she Normally likes to follow the others" I say drinking water out of a bowl.

"I think I'll go for a swim" Tsieya said standing up . Mother knocked and carried on eating

A few minutes later after we all had finished I heard yells and Na'vi gathering coming from outside.

"Whats going on now" Father exclaimed rising from his seat.
We were about to find out .
