With the scent of smoke still on her, having returned to the site of the Hometree to see what there was there that could be salvaged, Neytiri slowly rose from the ground - and froze. She could not feel Eywa, the forest floor beneath her was not familiar and she rose to her feet, nostrils flaring and fingers splayed out, in contact with the earth beneath her, seeking answers to her questions. But no answers came.
Her head moved back and forth as she scoured the surrounding unfamiliar terrain for something that would tell her where she was. But nothing revealed itself. It was as if Pandora had been wiped away, Eywa gone, all her energy, her memories, and her life. Lifting her head Neytiri’s eyes raked the sky, searching for ikran, for riders, for some sign, something familiar.
But there was nothing. A small cry broke from her throat as she returned to scouring the earth around her. Rising from her haunches she crossed the stretch of naked ground to a large tree, quickly climbing up into the canopy, and looking around was shocked. For as far as she could see there was nothing of her home, none of the trees, the life, no signs she was even on Pandora. She quickly returned to the ground.
Crouching next to the tree she’d just climbed she lay one hand on the earth and her other on the trunk of the tree, her eyelids drooping as she listened. Tiny sensations ran through her, a language which was as unfamiliar as it was indecipherable to her. Her head fell back and she let out a long cry of anguish that rippled out through through the forest.
