Chapter 2: Neytiri
A new day dawns on the planet Pandora. The sun is rise up in the sky and the jungle slowly awakens and the first animal cries were heard in the air. Flying creatures are waking up in the trees and begin to fly in the sky to fetch food. On the base of the RDA, the soldiers begin their daily training under the watchful eye of the instructors. When Mathias sees this through the window of his room, he is happy not to be assigned to the military program. Today is a great day for the young man he will finally test his avatar and begin its mission to the RDA. Falco counting on him. Mathias arrives at the biology lab, or Nora waits him.
(Nora): "Hi Mathias I hope you've slept well for your first night on Pandora, because today you have work."
(Mathias): "I am more than ready. Let's go."
Nora smiled at the determination in the eyes of Mathias and she takes him to the connecting room, to connect him to his avatar. Mathias is nervous, but ready. In the room, several objects shaped as metal box are arranged in a circle and connected by cables to highly sophisticated computers. Nora opens one of the boxes and Mathias begins to settle in. Nora installs sensors on his head and is about to close the lid.
(Nora): "Don't move and do not think about anything. Relax and all will be well."
Mathias slowly nods and gives a thumbs up to say he is ready. Nora closes the lid and Mathias is enclosed in the box binding. Nora and the scientists begin the transfer and activate several buttons.
(Nora): "Start the transfer. The connection is stable."
Mathias closes his eyes and relaxes, lulled by the sound of the machine. Gradually, he began to feel his
(Scientific): "Slowly Mathias. You may be a little shaken, but your vital signs are normal. All is right."
Mathias's vision gets better but he still feels weird. He raises his arms to watch his hands. Amazing. His hands are blue, with longer fingers. Mathias rises up very slowly and watches himself in a window of the room. He is in his avatar. it succeeded. Mathias begins to feel well in his new body, and remains seated while the doctors examines him to see if all is well. On the other side of the glass, Nora looks with a big smile and notes the success of the operation on his record. Falco also came to see if the transfer succeeded. Nora does not really like to see Falco in the laboratory, and usually he never comes here because he hates the avatars.
(Nora): "Mathias is very special. He has a very active brain. His connection with his avatar was mastered with surprising speed."
(Falco): "No matter. What matters is that he accomplishes his mission. I don't care of the rest."
Nora does not like the way in which Falco spoke to, but she does not show. The young scientist continues to write her report. Later, Mathias, still in his avatar body, prepares for his first mission. In the hangar of the base, Falco arrives to give him instructions.
(Mathias): "Commander Falco? Sorry, but when I see you, you are very small, and I have to used myself to this new body."
(Falco): "I understand, but here's your first mission: our radars have detected a strong sonority activity in the area 3. You will be escorted by a group of soldiers, and your mission is to identify the source of the signal and to decrypt it. Any questions? "
(Mathias): "No, sir."
Mathias took his bag with the equipment, and up in the helicopter with four soldiers who will escort him during the mission. Falco stays and watch the helicopter flying in the sky, towards the jungle of Pandora. In the helicopter, Mathias looks at the landscape with fascination and amazement. Many trees and plants are very strange and we do not see that on earth. The helicopter flies over a huge waterfall that falls into a river that dominates the jungle. Hundreds of small flying creatures flying around the helicopter, but they do not seem aggressive. After an hour of flight, the helicopter drops the group in the jungle. The soldiers are deployed in a circle and take their weapons. Mathias took his bag and down the craft. One of the soldiers, who seems to be the most experimented and strong of the four, turns to Mathias.
(Jax): "Okay, specialist, it is your turn now. Made your work, and we are protecting you."
(Mike): "I hate this jungle. There are too many terrifying things hiding in. You remember Wade and this plant that has eating his arm?"
(Yan): "Shut up Mike. It's not the time, stays concentrate."
Mathias has a shiver down the spine. A plant that would have eaten the arm of a man? Is this true, or is this a joke of the soldiers for the new recruits to scare them? Perhaps, but it is true that this jungle is daunting, especially with large trees that can almost hide the sun, or the sounds every second. The group began to walk in the jungle, watching every sound in the air. Then they hear the crack of branches above them. A group of creatures like monkeys, but with six legs, a hairless skin and pointed ears, arrives above the group and goes away in the trees. Mathias is amazed by these creatures.
(Mathias): "What is it?"
(Jax): "Prolemuris. The equivalent of the monkeys on earth. There's nothing to fear, they are not dangerous."
Mathias is reassured, but still surprised by the appearance of these creatures. At the foot of a large tree, Mathias uses its wave detector, and discovers that the signal is more intense here. He takes his equipment to begin to analyze the wave of the tree, while the soldiers continue to monitor around them.
(Mathias): "I started the scan."
(Mike) "Go on, I've heard a sound no far."
Suddenly, a wolf-like creature with six legs jumped from nowhere and grabs Mike by the head with his jaws, before starting to shred him. Mathias and the other soldiers are surprised, and other similar creatures coming from all sides.
(Jax): "Viperwolves!"
Another creature grabs another soldier's leg and takes him in the bushes before starting to devour him alive. Cries of pain are heard, then nothing. Jax shoots with his gun and kills one of the viperwolves, but another grabbed him from behind and the pack pounces on the soldier and killed him. Yan wants to run away, but other viperwolves arrive and catch him. A viperwolf jumps to Mathias, and he is not armed. But the avatar grabs a broken branch on the ground and uses it to hit the creature in the head. Mathias can not help the soldiers, they are dead, then he begins to run in the jungle with the pack at his pursuit. Mathias has trouble to run among the bushes and tree roots, and he hears the creatures approaching more and more of him. Mathias stumbles over a root and fell to the ground before being encircled by the creatures. The young man is kneeling and looks at the creatures that are around him. Their teeth are sharp and stained with blood, and their yellow eyes reflect their instinct of predators. Their grunts are terrifying. One creature is about to pounce on Mathias but an arrow pierces his body and the creature dies. Mathias is surprised then, from a tree, a humanoid figure leaped to the ground and growls towards the vipers wolves. Mathias could not believe his eyes. A thin and agile form, with blue skin, with primitive jewelry, long black hair like dreadlocks, a tail like felines and yellow eyes like cat eyes. This is a female Na'vi, a true.
She takes her dagger and kills another creature who tried to attack him, and a third, then a fourth. Mathias is very impressed by the talent of warrior of this Na'vi. The viperwolves fled into the jungle, and Mathias finds himself alone with the female Na'vi. The avatar gets up slowly, but the female Na'vi turns to him with a dark and angry eyes.
(Mathias) "Thank you very much. If you were not come...."
Suddenly, the female Na'vi takes her bow and threat Mathias. The young man stops and puts his hands in the air.
(Mathias): "Hey, calm down! What are you doing?"
(Neytiri):"Oe omum peu nga."
(Mathias): "Uh..... What?"
(Neytiri): "I know what you are. You look like me, but you are not from my people."
(Mathias): "Calm down, I wanted to thank you to have saved my life, and that's the way you react?"
(Neytiri): "Yes, I saved you, but it was for kill you, myself. Say your prayer, tawtute."
The look of the female Na'vi is filled with anger, and she is about to shoot. Mathias felt his heart leap into his chest. She will shoot, but suddenly the female Na'vi sees a small seed of light, flying before her and landing on the chest of Mathias, exactly at the point where she wants to target. The look of the female Na'vi changes suddenly, as if the seed sent him a message telepathically. Then the seed flies into the sky and the female Na'vi lowered her bow. Mathias breathes again, but does not understand. It is a little intimidated when the Na'vi female approached him, but he feels that she has calmed down and does not want to hurt him. "She's very beautiful" Mathias thinks "for a alien". She stands in front of Mathias and looks up and down, before looking him into the eyes.
(Neytiri): "What is your name?"
(Mathias): "Mathias ..... And you?"
(Neytiri): "My name is Neytiri. I am a Na'vi of the Omaticaya clan."
(Mathias): "Why do you wanted to kill me?"
(Neytiri): "I thought you were like the rest of the sky people, but I saw something in you. A sign showed me that you're different you have courage, no fear and great heart. "
Mathias did not quite understand what it means, but when she walks a little closer to him, he felt his heart beat. Then Neytiri puts her hand on the cheek of Mathias and closes her eyes. She seems to concentrate like to feel something and Mathias does nothing. Her hand is so sweet. Then Neytiri opens her eyes and looks Mathias. Hope appears in her eyes, as if she had found something priceless. Then it happening other thing: dozens of bright flying seeds begin to arrive gently around Mathias, but the young man does not feel comfortable and with his hand he tries to push the seeds that want to approach him. But Neytiri holds the hand of Mathias and told him to do nothing. One by one, the seeds begin to arise on the head, arms and body of Mathias. The young avatar does not understand but does nothing. Neytiri looks at this phenomenon with amazement and a smile appears on his face.
(Mathias) "But ...... What are those things?"
(Neytiri): "Atokirina. The seeds of the sacred tree. The spirits of the forest."
The seeds remain on Mathias for several seconds and all fly in the air in different directions. Mathias is puzzled and looks at the seeds that fly away, without really understanding what is happening. He turns to Neytiri, which she seems to have understood something. Her look has changed for Mathias.
(Neytiri): "It's you. There is no doubt. You're the one that we awaited for a long time. Come with me."
She starts to walk in a direction, and Mathias does not know what to do, he hesitates a little. But the idea of spending the night alone in the jungle with all these creatures scares him, and he chooses to follow Neytiri.
