A few years pass and Tsu'tey grew from the kind and caring Na'vi to the confident and serious Na'vi that most young males from the clan respect and the young females to fawn over.

The death of Silwanin had changed him and even Neytiri and her parent. Eytukan had forbidden anyone from showing contact to any Sky People and Neytiri had less trust on the Sky People she had in contact too and would only kill them on sight. Tsu'tey's relationship with Neytiri strained after the death of Silwanin for Tsu'tey blamed himself for her death for not being there on time.

It was only to this day that Tsu'tey went on a particular hunt with the young hunters that are to become an ikran makto.

The sound of the metal demon from above made them hide behind the safety of the trees above and Tsu'tey watched with keen eyes as to what was going on.

Out stepped a Sky People, Tsu'tey narrowed his eyes and studied him, he was tall for a sky people standard and he probably is one of the bad sky people no doubt.

Out then came the one he despised the most, an Uniltirantokx (Dreamwalker) and there were five of them at most.

One he knew was Grace Agustine, it had been so long since he had seen her but he knew she was not unfamiliar in where she is standing at right now.

"Shut it down we're gonna stay awhile!"

He heard Grace call out and there he saw two more he can tell were like Grace for they carry tools he knew would bring no harm.

Though the other two he did not know. One had the metal weapon of the Sky People while the other was a female only she was not using the metal weapon but knives.

This he was intrigued.

"Tsu'tey..."

He turned to see the young hunters looking at him with narrowed eyes. Wondering if they were gonna open fire or not.

He decided the latter.

They followed the five through the branches of the trees, stealthy as ever and while four were noisy as newly trained hunters, this female managed to keep her feet silent and steady.

A small sound of a syaksyuk startled the male Uniltirantokx and it made him point at the syaksyuk (Prolemuris).

Tsu'tey narrowed his eyes, wondering if he was going to shoot. It would be his pleasure to send that fake body to the depths of Eywa's anger.

"Relax marine. Breathe in your nose" Grace said, stepping up and grasping the end point of the metal weapon and away from the now terrified syaksyuk.

The other Uniltirantokx (Dreamwaker) beside the female sighed with relief? He should be, Grace Augustine saved that skxawng (moron) from his arrow.

With the young hunters behind him, Tsu'tey followed the dreamwalkers to wherever they were going, making sure they aren't crossing the Omaticaya borders.

His eyes suddenly went wide for a few inches when he noticed he was going to a familiar pathway that he hadn't taken since before her death.

"So, how will they know we are here?" Tsu'tey looked down to see a skinny dreamwalker walk up to Grace who shrugged nonchalantly. An act he knew of her when she was not focused on the question asked.

"I'm sure they are watching us right now"

Immediately the male who was beside the female looked up and the young hunters scrambled for cover. One almost slipped had it not been for Tsu'tey who saved him from fully falling to the ground and risk exposure.

"nume tsonta run ngeyä kllkxem (Learn to find your stand)"

Tsu'tey barked out a little too harshly and the young hunter nodded with his head low. The Old School House was just up ahead and he watched them enter.

The young hunters knew of the story of the incident involving the death of one of their own, specifically the daughter of their Olo'eyktan.

"Report to Eytukan on dreamwalker sighting to the Old School House. Make sure you are not seen nor being followed"

Tsu'tey ordered and the young hunters immediately sprang up and headed back to Hometree.

Tsu'tey waited for them to come out of the School House and while doing so...memories began to resurface, dark ones that still had not been mended. He could still remember the flames burning and the smell of the dead that sent a small shudder over his spine and then the empty eyes of Silwanin staring straight at him.

When he saw them already out of the School House, the dark thoughts would still linger in the recesses of his mind. 

***

He followed them up on the North side abd watched as Grace began speaking unfamiliar words in Ìnglìsì.

"This is amazing" He heard the skinny young male beside the other male who was always beside him. Who was she to him? His gaze went to the female who looked around with eyes sharp with that of a warrior.

Was she a warrior to the Sky People?

No matter, if she poses  a threat to his clan, he will happily kill her though it would be in his conscience that he killed a female.

"Where did Jake go?" 

Tsu'tey's thoughts halted when he saw the female now wildly look around and heard Grace shout out a word that he knew in his Na'vi language as a cuss word. It was easy to find the skxawng with his metal weapon aimed aimed at the herd of Angtsìk.

"Don't shoot, you'll piss him off!"

Tsu'tey heard Grace call out and Tsu'tey had to laugh at the now nervous skxawng (moron) who was starting to tremble. A man who lets fear take over him is a dead man in the face of an animal. This 'Jake' shouted back to Grace "It looks already pissed off" It would appear that this dreamwalker had no idea on animal behavior. Sky People really are ignorant.

From the corner of Tsu'tey's eyes he saw one of the most feared predators here in the forest, a Palulukan (Thanator). The skxawng really need to stop talking and start running if he values his life. Then again, one less dreamwalker for him to kill.

"Run definitely run!"

He heard Grace scream and he watched as 'Jake' took off in the other direction instead of where his friends are. He could be that noble to sacrifice himself for the safety of his crew or he was just moronic enough to let his adrenaline spike and let fear take over and run to wherever his feet took him.

After some arguments, he watched the dreamwalkers head back to the metal bird to take them back home though he wondered why the female and the male dreamwalker never seemed bothered by the fact that one of them is being chased by a palulukan.

It just proves that Sky People are that heartless.
