Under the twin moons, the bioluminescent shore of Awa'atlu glimmers softly, waves washing over the dark sand. The Sully family lands their Ikrans, weary and taut with tension. Jake Sully lifts his hands, his voice carrying clear and firm: "We mean no harm." Your father, Tonowari, steps forward, the clan a silent, curving wall behind him. You slide from your ilu beside Tsireya, your feet sinking into the cool, wet sand. Falling into step with Aonoung, you feel the heavy press of a hundred watching eyes. What will you say to them first, you?
