The next day, Kiri, Tuk, Neteyam, and Lo'ak, were up bright and early. While their parents were still asleep, Tsireya came with Ao'nung, who was begrudgingly forced to go, to pick them up for their lessons on the ways of the Metkayina. The sun was beaming and the water looked crystal clear beneath their hut. Tuk was particularly excited, more so than the rest of her siblings. She couldn't wait.

Tsireya, Ao'nung, and Rotxo, who joined them shortly after, stood on the edge of one of the pods by the shore and proceeded to leap in expertly. They've swum in these waters their entire lives, and still, they could never get used to the beauty that lay beneath the surface.

After Tsireya, Rotxo, and Ao'nung jumped in, Lo'ak and Neteyam looked at each other with excited smiles and proceeded to run to the edge. "Come on!" Neteyam said, getting to the edge and leaping with Lo'ak jumping in a cannonball as they yelled with ecstasy. When they opened their eyes underwater once the bubbles of their jump cleared up, they gazed around curiously at the new world that had just opened up to them. It was crazy how this was below their own feet the entire time.

The only ones left to jump in were Kiri and Tuk. The older Sully sister grabbed Tuk's hand, and they both ran to the edge hand in hand. Kiri laughed as they leaped onto the water while Tuk let out a squeal. Soon enough, they were met with the same view as their brothers. The sea was littered with beautiful creatures swimming around in harmony around them.

They watched as fish swam, very peculiar ones at that, but they were still mesmerized. They had never seen anything like it, not even in the lakes and ponds of the forest. Some reefs and mangroves served as home to many of the sea species they saw.

There were called Pincer Fish, known to the Metkayina as the Sloapek. They have two vertical, large, and bone tusks. It had fins that swayed with the water, helping the fish swim. There were also small sardine-like fish all around as well. Lo'ak stared at the creatures with wonder, seeing how they were completely unbothered by the presence of the Na'vi children and seemed completely harmless.

Kiri did not waste any time swimming wherever the currents took her. She used her arms and legs to push herself forward as she swam along a school of fish that didn't even flinch at her closeness. She felt connected with everything around her, just like she did in the forest when it was just her and nature. Kiri turned her head to the side and saw that there was a graceful and translucent jellyfish moving to swim past her. Understanding the animals' intentions, Kiri stopped swimming and let the multiple-finned jellyfish pass by.

Tuk was having the time of her life. Neteyam was by her side, grabbing onto her hand so she wouldn't stray off, but still allowing her to explore as much as she wanted. Just like with Kiri, a school of baby fish swam around Tuk, not bothered by the 8-year-olds presence. The fish were so close that the girl got to have an up-close look at every detail they had.

Kiri was absolutely stunned, she got close enough to the ocean floor of the reef to the point where she could touch the sand. Using her arms to keep her steady and swaying her back and forth, the 15-year-old girl suddenly saw a small squid propel itself to her level and twirl in the water. Kiri smiled softly and reached up a hand to touch it, but never actually did because of how stunned she was.

The squid eventually swam away, and Kiri moved away her hand to keep her steady again like she was doing. In the corner of her eye, she could see a creature that looked an awful lot like a stingray that Norm and Max had told her about, along with many other Pandoran sea creatures that inhabited these waters. Although it was not a stingray, it did look awfully familiar. As the creature swam by Kiri, showing its belly, Kiri reached her hand up and ran her fingers through it as it swam by her.

Meanwhile, the Metkayina kids were swimming further into the reef. They maneuvered their bodies around the water like they'd known to do since they were born. It was second nature to them. Their finned tails and arms helped them move underwater, exploring the ocean floor they loved dearly.

While Ao'nung and Rotxo swam further to catch up with one another, Tsireya slowed down a bit and began to swim backward as she smiled at the Sully siblings. Her dimples were cutely seen through the water as she sent them an inviting wave of a hand to follow them. Her curly hair was swaying with perfect sync against the currents she swam in.

Neteyam and Lo'ak looked at one another before the youngest Sully brother pointed at the Metkayina kids, gesturing with his head to his older brother that they should probably catch up before they lost sight of them. The two brothers started to swim, as best as they could, given that they didn't have the same body structure as the sea Na'vi, but they managed and enjoyed every second of it. Tuk was swimming closely behind her brothers, swimming as fast as her body could take her.

While her siblings swam after Tsireya, Ao'nung, and Rotxo, Kiri was in her own world. She was happy and content exploring by herself. She was so entranced by the beauty of the reef that she didn't even notice that her siblings had swam further into the reef. Kiri swam as her dark hair moved with the water, and she stopped in front of this column of coral that she began to admire with a bright smile.

Once Tsireya noticed that Lo'ak, Neteyam, and Tuk were following, she turned back around to swim with her brother and Rotxo. They continued to swim, passing by various coral reefs and underwater plant life-like anemones they passed by. There was a plant known as Nom's Delight, and it was a disk-shaped coral that is very common to find on the seafloor of the Pandoran ocean environment, which is where they were all swimming right now.

Feeling like they were running out of air, not being used to being underwater for so long, Lo'ak, Neteyam, and Tuk all came up to the surface and gasped for air while the Metkayina kids continued to swim with no problem.

Tsireya was the first to notice that the Sully siblings had swam back up to the surface, most likely to get some air. She stopped swimming and looked up, making Rotxo and Ao'nung turn around to look at them as well. From the surface, Lo'ak took a deep breath and ducked his head underwater to see down below. The Metkayina kids had stopped and were looking up at them with puzzled expressions. But it was understandable since they weren't adapted to the environment quite just yet.

Lo'ak looked at Tsireya and she started to do motions with her hands that looked like sign language. "Swim together with us," She signed with a sweet smile on her face. After Lo'ak and Neteyam looked at each other with confusion, not understanding what she said, Tsireya smiled warmly and waved her hand over for the Sullys to follow them. Neteyam, Lo'ak, and Tuk all raised their heads above water again and inhaled deeply before diving back in.

After they got back into the water fully, they began to follow Tsireya, Ao'nung, and Rotxo again since they started swimming again too. They were completely following the lead of the Metkayina kids, knowing how much experience they have in the area of holding your breath for so long. It was impressive.

The sea kids came across this large coral and split ways for a moment before meeting again on the other side, leading the way for the Sullys. Neteyam and Lo'ak were in front as they helped Tuk not fall behind the group. For support, they came across a column of coral and used it to push themselves forward. Tsireya looked at the group with soft eyes, hoping that they were doing okay.

Once again, Lo'ak, Neteyam, and Tuk felt like they were running out of air again. So the brothers looked at each other and then proceeded to swim upwards to above the surface with Tuk to breathe. Ao'nung and Rotxo looked at the Omaticaya kids with puzzled expressions as they swam up.

"What's wrong with them?" Ao'nung signed, and Tsireya looked at him, hoping he understood that they didn't have the same abilities that the Metkayina did. "They are bad divers. They don't know how to swim underwater," Roxto signed back to Ao'nung.

Looking at this exchange, Tsireya frowned as her eyebrows furrowed. She held a hand up, to signal them to stop for just a second. "Stop. They're learning," She signed to her brother, who rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to look back up at the Sullys on the surface.

Speaking of which, Neteyam, Lo'ak, and Tuk inhaled deeply before ducking their heads into the water, still staying afloat and looking down at their newfound friends. They saw how Tsireya was starting to gracefully swim upwards while swaying her body from side to side, with Ao'nung and Rotxo close behind.

Eventually, the 5 of them were above water, since Ao'nung was still swimming up and Tsireya looked at the Sully siblings who looked tired from trying to keep up. "Are you alright?" Tsireya asked, which was the first thing she said to the Omaticaya kids in front of her. She was worried about them.

"You're too fast! Wait for us," Tuk said as she dragged out the last word and tried her best to stay afloat. She rubbed her eyes as her ears tipped back, trying to get water out of her face

Tsireya smiled fondly at Tuk before speaking again. "Just breathe. Breathe," The girl said calmly, just as Ao'nung popped his head out of the water and chuckled.

"You are not good divers," Ao'nung started, and Tsireya rolled her eyes. "You may be good at swinging through trees, but-" He continued with a laugh, but couldn't finish because Tsireya splashed water on his face. "Enough," She said sternly, not liking how her brother was treating the kids who they were supposed to be bonding and creating friendships with.

"Come on, bro," Lo'ak started, annoyed that Ao'nung kept finding ways to talk them down. "We don't speak this finger talk. We don't know what you're saying," Neteyam said with his strong Na'vi accent, raising his hand to gesture the same way Tsireya was doing.

"I will teach you," Tsireya offered without hesitation. She smiled at the Sully siblings, giving them the reassurance they needed to keep going. This was a process but she was certain that they would get there eventually.

Noticing Kiri was gone, Rotxo suddenly spoke up, getting the attention of the others. "Where is Kiri?" He asked, and everyone suddenly started to notice that she wasn't back yet with them. "Kiri?" Tuk asked with concern.

"Who?" Ao'nung asked, not remembering the girl, but the name sounded familiar. "Kiri, where is Kiri?" Rotxo asked again. "Did you see her?" Tsireya asked as Neyetam and Lo'ak turned around to see if she was on the surface somewhere, but when they didn't see her, it must mean she is still down on the ocean floor.

Little did they know that Kiri was just fine. She was more than fine. Having the time of her life. As for staying underwater without going to the surface, Kiri is masterful of this ability right from the moment she jumped into the water, unlike her younger and older siblings She doesn't even seem like she's trying, it feels like it comes naturally to her to stay below the surface for so long. It was clear how quickly she was able to adapt to the ways of water, and the bonds she already has with life underwater with aquatic organisms and plants.

Kiri swam in the currents of the reef effortlessly, gazing and swimming amongst the animals that passed her. She looked in wonder and with a big smile at this big transparent stingray, and also saw tiny fish swim in front of her. There were also squids and many other Sloapeks that were traveling in groups. This was all she ever wanted and felt like this was where she was supposed to be.

It was all during the time that this was happening that Quaritch was finally taking it upon himself to act upon the situation with you and Jake of his own accord. The Colonel was now walking up the runway of the helicopter that had its doors open and ready to be boarded. Quaritch was holding Spider by his shoulder, dragging him towards it. The boy was hunched over, looking behind to see Quaritch's team right behind him. They were like his posse or something of the sort.

"Get on the ship, find a seat, and keep out of the way!" Quaritch yelled to Spider over the sound of turbines and engines of the aircrafts that were on the runway. When they were close enough, Quaritch nudged Spider to get inside while he stood outside signaling the pilot to begin their flight. "Let's go! Chop chop!" He yelled, not noticing that Spider headed right to the rifle anchored to the door of the helicopter.

Quaritch turned around to see what the boy was doing and groaned in annoyance, seeing him pretending to be manning the gun. "Woah, whoa! Hold on there hotshot!" Quaritch said, grabbing Spider, pulling him away from the weapon, and setting him down on a seat.

"Listen up! There is a tracker built into that mask. We hit the ground and you take off, I'll have you back in 2 minutes, and I will give you an old-school ass whipping. Understood?" Quaritch said, but Spider just rolled his eyes at the Colonel, making the man grab onto his arm and ask again. "Understood?" He asked more sternly this time so that he answered.

"Yes, sir," Spider said with fake enthusiasm and sarcasm. Reluctantly, Quaritch turned to Lyle for updates on how they were on takeoff. "We up?" The Colonel asked, and his second in command nodded. "Teams up," he answered. Quaritch stood by the door and leaned over to tap the windshield of the pilot, letting him know that they were ready to leave. A few seconds later, the helicopter started to ascend and with that, the group of Avatat soldiers and Spider were heading back to the forest.

Soon enough, the group was in the forest in the same area where they had their little showdown with the Sullys just a few days before. Quaritch had his comrades stand in a semicircle around him so that he could speak and everyone would listen. Spider was sitting on a log behind him.

"Alright, listen up. Jake Sully has gone underground. Don't matter; wherever he is, we'll find him. And his bat shit crazy wife too," Quaritch started, scowling to himself at even the smallest mention of you. "To do so, we go Na'vi. Full tilt all the way. That means we eat Na'vi, we ride Na'vi, we think Na'vi," Quaritch continued, using his pointer finger to gesture at his head. They needed to be smart about this.

"And that starts with speaking the language," Quaritch said in Na'vi with a slow, over-pronounced, and broken accent. Spider couldn't help but snicker at his attempt of speaking the language. It was too amusing. At the sound of the human boy laughing, the Avatars and Quaritch all turned to Spider with questioning and confused looks.

"You call that speaking the language? You sound like a three-year-old," Spider snickered as he spoke in fluent Na'vi, making the Colonel narrow his eyes at the boy. He understood what he had said, annoying Quaritch further.

"Alright, smart guy. You know what? You just went from being our monkey mascot to official interpreter," Quaritch said with a smirk, and his comrades all laughed in amusement, seeing Spider roll his eyes with annoyance.

Back at Awa'atlu, Ao'nung, Rotxo, and Tsireya continued to give their lessons to the Sully siblings. They were now situated in a shallower part of the shores where there was clearer water and the white sand could be seen clearly. Neteyam has Tuk resting on his right hip, holding her little sister close to him. Lo'ak stood on the side, letting the water reach waist-length, so it wasn't very deep.

Ao'nung began to wade in the water and started to make sounds and calls, to what the Sully siblings supposed were a creature below the water. Ao'nung clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth a couple of times, creating a quick and echoey clicking sound, followed by some yips and hoots. In no time, a couple of lean, agile-looking, and versatile animals came in from the deeper parts of the reef and swam around the group of kids.

"These are ilu. If you want to live here, you have to ride," Ao'nung explained as Tsireya nodded at her brother's words. After that, the Metkayina princess called over one of the ilu, since Lo'ak offered to go first. For these creatures, you also have to make a bond with them. But, unlike an ikran, the ilu do not develop individual bonds with riders, so an experienced rider can mount any ilu that has been familiarized with the bond.

Tsireya held the queue of the ilu that Lo'ak mounted, holding it up to him so that he could connect with the animal. "Make the bond gently," She said, watching as Lo'ak took his braid from behind him and let the tendrils at the end attach themselves to ones of the ilu.

Almost instantly, the pupils of the sea creature dilated, letting out a low rumble and squirming around in the water for a few seconds. Tsireya was able to calm it down, then turned to Lo'ak to tell him what to do next.

"Feel his breath. Feel his strength," Tsireya started to say calmly, and Lo'ak nodded, closing his eyes and taking deep and long breaths, feeling his bond with the creature. "Hold here," She said, pointing to the handle strapped to the back of the ilu, so Lo'ak positioned himself better and grabbed onto it.

"Hold on," Rotxo reminded from afar, and a few seconds later, a determined expression was painted onto Lo'ak's face as the ilu began to swim forward. He grabbed on tight, holding his breath, knowing that he was about to go underwater. Although, nothing could have prepared Lo'ak for how much force of the speed of the ilu would threaten him to fall off.

As the ilu continued to swim, Lo'ak was soon limited to only holding the handle of the saddle with only one hand as the force of the water currents in his face made it hard to see. He tried his best to hold on, but the ilu eventually sped up and that's what made Lo'ak fall off its back, disconnect their bond, and queue while he rolled around in the water.

Ao'nung, who had his head underwater and was watching this happen, smiled and laughed at Lo'ak's failure. Bubbles left his mouth because of this and then raised his head again from the water while continuing to laugh. The other Metkayina kids who were nearby also laughed, who had also watched the whole ordeal.

Lo'ak eventually came back up to the surface above the water, inhaling deeply to get some air. The ilu he was riding raised its head from the water and squealed in Lo'ak's face, turning to swim the other way as the flap of its fins splashed water on the boy's face. Tsireya was seeing this happen, and couldn't help but giggle softly to herself while covering her mouth, but she quickly concealed it and put on a more neutral face. If she was being honest, Tsireya found it more endearing than funny.

Meanwhile, you and Jake were getting lessons of your own from Tonowari and some other Metkayina warriors. They were in the shallower parts of the beach as well, but not in the same section as your kids. Tonowari proceeded to do the same call that Ao'nung did to summon the ilu, but this time, a much larger and fiercer-looking animal came to them.

It was the same one Tonowari was riding when he arrived the day that the Sullys came to the village. It had a narrow snout like an alligator's and razor-sharp teeth. The skin was also very rough and it had wings tucked to its side while underwater. While you stood close by to watch Jake's turn, the creature thrashed around in the water impatiently as the warriors held onto it to prevent the animal from leaving.

Tonowari continued to explain what it was like to ride such a difficult animal to start. Skimwings, or Tsurak, require high-maintenance and are very picky on who rides them, so only the most advance, strong Na'vi riders attempt to tame them. Jake didn't let that stop him, and he was determined to learn. The ex-marine noticed that while in the water, the fins tuck into its side to form a sleek, torpedo-like shape, but when it flies, the long wings extend to the sides.

Jake proceeded to hold onto the queue of the Skimwing, holding the rope he would tie around his hands in his mouth while he connected his braid to the Tsurak, eventually creating the bond. Once he did, the Skimwing thrashed and wiggled in the water violently while letting out deep-throated roars that were muffled by the water. It was certainly an intimidating animal, to say the least.

"This is a warrior's mount. Not easy to master. We call it Tsurak," Tonowari explained, holding onto the riled-up sea creature in his grasp. Jake mounted the Skimwing without hesitation and got comfortable on the saddle. If he was being honest, Tonowari didn't know if this would end well. Jake was not familiar with the ocean yet, let alone sea creatures.

"Perhaps you should start with an ilu," Tonowari suggested, but Jake shook his head, confident that he would be able to tame this one. If he could do so with Toruk, how hard could it be? He felt sure of himself, not ready at all for the strength of a sea creature like this.

"Nah, this one," Jake insisted, and you shook your head with a smile at the words of your husband. You waded in the clear waters of the reef, waiting for your turn. Your husband positioned himself better on the back of the Skimwing, taking the rope he had in his mouth and began to tie it around the hand that was gripping onto the holder of the saddle.

Tonowari exhaled, not having a good feeling about this, but continued to explain nonetheless. "Now remember, when you dive back in, good position. Very important," The clan leader reminded, and Jake hummed in response, looking forward, then at Tonowari.

"I got this," Jake said with a tilt of his head. Before he started, you decided to give your husband a few encouraging words. You swam closer and when you were by his side next to the Skimwing, you raised an arm from the water and placed it on his forearms gently.

"Be careful, Jake. Don't push yourself," You reminded with a tender smile. Jake's eyes softened at your words, placing his free hand on top of yours. He had it in his head that this wasn't any harder than taming Toruk, but he had never actually ridden an ocean animal at all before. At least when he bonded with Toruk, he had experience with Ikrans.

"I'll be fine, baby. Move away a little, too. I don't want you to get caught up and get hurt," He said with a tone full of love, and you smiled with a nod, complying with his wishes until it was time for you to try. Even if you preferred to ride Aio, you were open to learning the ways of the sea people. It was a nice experience.

You watched as Jake exhaled deeply and he quickly took off on the Skimwing with a yell, like when riding a horse. It seems he underestimated how fast the creature was, but he quickly adjusted in the saddle. His riding was unsteady for a bit, but he got accustomed to the speed and strength. Before he knew it, the Tsurak took flight with a screech, left the water, and opened its wings, still using its tail in the water to navigate through the air.

The warriors behind Tonowari began to laugh at the sloppy flying of Jake in the Tsurak, so you turned around and sent a death glare their way. It was enough for them to stop laughing and look the other way with a gulp. Jake was still learning, and you wouldn't let others disrespect him like that, especially when it was his first try too at something like this. He'd master it eventually, you were sure of it.

As the Skimwing continued to fly in an unbalanced manner, Jake sensed that the creature was ready to dive. So, he commanded the animal to be a bit more steady through the bond, and the creature did so. "Yeah, that's it. Steady" Jake muttered, preparing himself to be in a position where he would lay on the back of the Tsurak, and have good posture for the dive.

Soon enough, the creature flew high enough to the point Jake knew that it was preparing to dive. The ex-marine held his breath and inhaled, laying flat on his stomach on the creature's back as the Skimwing dove. Jake was not prepared for the strength and force that dive would take on him, but as the Skimwing accelerated in speed underwater, Jake was forced to let go of the creature.

Tonowari cringed and winced at this landing, which didn't look pleasant at all, while you cupped your mouth with both of your hands, hoping your mate was. Your worries washed away and you were filled with relief when his head came out of the water, but you frowned seeing his hand was scratched up. Jake let out a hiss mixed with a groan of frustration at his now injured hand because of the rope.

As Jake began to swim back to Tonowari, you and the warriors, you began to swim over in his direction to check over his hand. When you got to him and he was close enough, you stopped swimming and held onto his shoulders for support. You grabbed his injured hand, being careful not to touch the part he was bleeding from. You frowned and inspected it. It was never pleasant to see Jake even with the tiniest of injuries, and this looked like it hurt a lot.

"We should go and get it cleaned up. I have some medicine back at the hut, come on," You said, grabbing his injured hand, but you didn't get very far because Jake pulled you back to him as he held onto your waist. "Y/n, I'm okay. Besides, it's your turn. We can go later. It does hurt, but I don't want you to miss your chance to ride either," Jake said softly, and you smile at him, loving that he was so considerate.

"If you say so, but as soon as we're done, we're heading back, alright? I want to take care of you," You said, lifting a hand to cup his cheek, prompting him to smile softly. "Okay. Whatever you want," Jake whispered, leaning in to kiss your cheek, making you giggle.

Jake took your hand and began to lead you back to the warriors and Tonowari who were waiting to continue the lesson. Knowing how difficult it was to master a Skimwing now, you heavily considered taking on an Ilu first and getting used to it before moving on to a more advanced creature. You were taking your time, and you promised yourself that you'd master a Tsurak, but all in due time. It was all baby steps. Jake agreed with your decision, not wanting you to get hurt the way he did, or worse.

Tonowari was glad that you were starting with an ilu to get familiarized with the force and strength of riding in the water. He called over one that was nearby, and when the ilu popped its head out of the water, it cooed and rubbed its head against yours, already having a good feeling about its new rider. The action from the animal made you smile and giggle, so you patted its neck with care.

"Does it have a name?" You asked Tonowari, and the chief nodded. "It's a male. His name is Koa. It means warrior, or valiant one," The clan leader explained. You knew that there were many differences in strength between Skimwings and Ilu's, but if that was this one's name, then you had a good feeling about creating a bond with it and its temperament may be different from other ilu's.

The ilu proceeded to position itself in front of you, and you looked at Jake as a silent ask for him to help you get on. Without thinking it twice, Jake nodded and grabbed onto your hips, positioning you on the saddle. Before making the bond, Tonowari continued to explain to you the way you should grip the holder, and the most optimal positions to prevent injuries, and as you listened, it feels a lot like the same instructions as when riding a Pa'li. It's about feeling the animal through the bond.

Jake had his hand on your thigh the entire time Tonowari explained the process, hoping that if there were any worries you had, he could help you ease them before beginning to ride. Eventually, it was time to make the bond, so Jake assisted in grabbing the Ilu's queue while you grabbed your braid and allowed the tendrils to attach to the animal's. Once Tsaheylu, or Kuru as the Metkayina call it, was made, you inhaled deeply and prepared to ride.

Tonowari, the warriors, and Jake all backed away, but your husband stayed a little closer. Soon enough, the ilu began to swim and unlike Jake that was above water first, you were immediately submerged underwater as you held onto the handle of the saddle and the long neck of the Ilu. Jake and Tonowari lowered themselves to look below the surface and saw you gliding expertly through the currents, doing turns and twists as if you'd done it your entire life. It was a sight to see.

Koa was feeling a bit adventurous and energetic, so he dove a little deeper to gain some momentum and then swam upwards quickly. The Ilu leaped high out of the water with you on its back, making you yell out yips and calls with adrenaline running through your veins. Before diving again, the creature did a 360 turn and then landed back in the water.

You were having so much fun, that you forgot this was just a trial run. You could definitely get used to this. Koa did a few more flips when leaping out of the water, prompting you to laugh happily. You quickly mastered the Ilu and Jake had already lifted his head from the water to see all of this happen before his very eyes. His girl was doing so well, and he felt a warm feeling of pride and contentment settle in his chest by just watching you from afar.
