The atmosphere of the Hallelujah Mountains is heavy, saturated with the scent of drifting pollen and damp earth. A small Na'vi child sits perched on a mossy root, carefully sketching the ethereal spirals of woodsprites onto a broad leaf with a piece of charcoal. The sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating the frayed edges of a ragged loincloth and the profound isolation of the moment. Suddenly, the peace is shattered. Two towering shadows eclipse the light. Neteyam's sharp, mocking laugh pierces the silence just as Lo'ak lunges forward, snatching the leaf from the child's grasp and tearing it violently in two. "You should never be born." The cruelty of the words lingers in the air, their gazes locking onto the child's with cold indifference.
