Avatar: Through His Eyes

Tragedy of The Omaticaya

The tragedy happened around the time when the School House had been teaching the Na'vi children about the Sky People Culture. Grace Augustine was friends with Silwanin who was Grace's star pupil and somewhat ambassador for the humans to the Omaticaya.

Tsu'tey trusted Grace since she was the only Sky People that did not carry one of those metal weapons that spits metal and fire and killing an opponent instantly with no remorse or granting the dead spirit safe passage to Eywa. Neytiri was skeptical at first knwing her sister had more of a kind heart than a warrior but Grace's never ending care and love for the Omaticaya soon made Neytiri learn all about the Sky People language.

However, during one fateful day when Grace had been happily teaching the children about the plant life back in planet Earth, Silwanin and Neytiri had been stunned to see an injured Na'vi warrior filled with bullet holes in his chest as he grasped the door frame, the children immediately began to be ushered back to the safest corner away from the warrior as Grace tried to tend to him but she was harshly pushed back.

"The Metal Sky People are coming for this place. You must all leave" The scout said as he gave Grace a harsh glare before succumbing to the wounds. The children began to panic and Grace stood up from her sitting position and gestured to Silwanin and Neytiri.

"Take the children back to your homes and don't ever come back here until it is safe" Silwanin was about to argue but Neytiri grabbed her sister's hand and began leading the Na'vi children out of the school. Grace stood outside of the school and soon enough, the harsh sounds of an AMP suit appeared.

"Grace Augustine..."

Grace scowled and screamed "Whatever it is that you want here I don't give a flying fuck unless it concerns the lives of the Na'vi" The man in the AMP suit spoke "We have given you plenty of time for these animals to give us the Unobtainium and this school is closed down" The man said and Grace felt outrage towards this turn of events.

"They are not animals! They are just as alive as the next person who steps on this planet!"

"Then why did they ruined the bulldozers from the construction site?! They set the whole damn thing on fire!"

"If you shoot them they strike back!"

"Then we will shoot harder if we have too!"

Cries could be heard when Tsu'tey returned with the hunting group and everyone was stunned to see the children crying and Neytiri breathless from running.

His young sister, Zrina came bounding by his side as she rambled on what had happened "Brother, Dr. Grace stayed behind to confront the metal sky people. She could be killed!" Zrina said before sobs broke down on her mouth.

Other children were babbling on about an injured scout that sent them a warning about the metal sky people before he succumbed to his wounds and Grace telling Neytiri and Silwanin to leave with the children.

He quickly scanned the crowd and let out a sigh of relief when he saw Neytiri heading towards him with a panicked look on her face.

"Ma tsmuke (My sister) went back to School House!"

Tsu'tey felt a sense of dread as he and Neytiri raced back to the School House with Eytukan ordering some warriors to go after Neytiri and Tsu'tey.

They arrived at the scene to where Grace was lying on the ground with blood on herself and Silwanin next to her. Both of them unmoving and showed no signs of life.

Neytiri let out a scream in anger when one of the Metal Sky People made an act to grab the unconscious doctor by her injured arm.

Tsu'tey let out a call for battle and with the warriors behind them, they charged and attacked the stunned Metal Sky Peoples while the archers handled the Sky People.

Bullets and arrows flew back and forth and the Na'vi outnumbered the Sky People to the point that they were forced to retreat.

Grace woke up with her head pounding and turned to see the destruction of the School House and felt her insides churn.

A cry made her turn to see Neytiri holding the body of Silwanin and she felt her whole body go cold.

No...

Tsu'tey let out an anguish cry of despair when the light left Silwanin's eyes. The rest of the warriors bowed their heads in respect before they saw Grace approaching and held their knives.

"Neytiri..."

Grace nervously grasped the arm of the crying princess and Neytiri turned to Grace with anger. In her eyes, she did not see the kind and motherly Grace that she knew. She merely saw the Sky People's faces that had killed her sister.

"GET AWAY!"

Grace jumped back at the sound and stumbled to the ground. A flash of guilt crept into Neytiri before she shoved it down and turned to Tsu'tey.

Tsu'tey had been undergoing some emotions but one was anger not at Grace nor Silwanin and Neytiri but to the Sky People who destroy Eywa's creations.

"You have to get out of here. Reinforcements will be coming"

Grace said blankly and Neytiri gave her a glance before Tsu'tey carried the dead body of her sister and quickly disappeared within the forest.

Grace laughed grimly as she glared at the smell of metal and dead bodies of the humans burning.

It would only be a matter of time.

***

Silwanin's body was lain down on the roots of a tree with her belongings and memories of herself from her life here.

Mo'at and Eytukan held themselves strongly as the procession starts while Neytiri could barely hold herself together and had to find comfort from Tsu'tey who stared blankly down at Silwanin's body.

He wanted to believe that she was still alive and was somehow just asleep but he knew that he was just only denying himself.

There he would learn to distrust all Sky People with the exception of Grace for she was not one of the bad Sky People.

They will get through with this even if they have to push war on the Sky People.

A young man walked towards the room where Dr. Augustine was healing and he made himself known by knocking before entering.

He had hear of what had happened in the School House and many scientists protested at what had happened. Grace had locked herself away from any contact and people respected that and gave her space.

But not this man.

"What do you want?"

Grace snapped in anger and the man coughed to get her attention "Dr. Augustine, I may have a slight problem involving with the creation of my avatar: Grace turned to look at the man with red rimmed eyes.

"Why?..."

"Well....the embryos inside the container of my DNA spilt into three and one of them had ugh...the genetics of a female embryo inside and I had to separate each of them"

Grace turned to the man with new wonder and asked "Do you have any siblings back on Earth?" The man's eyes flashed with an unreadable emotion.

"Yes, my brother and sister. We're triplets..."

Grace nodded before turning away "Would you like me to dispose of the extra ones?" Grace shook her head and laughed grimly.

"Selfridge might cut off our heads of one of his...avatars would be dispose of. He said they waste too much of his money to be disposed..."

Grace grumbled and turned to the man "Call your brother and sister. We might find some use to them here" The man smiled and turned to walk away.

"What's your name?" Grace asked. The man paused before replying.

"Thomas Sully"
