When his father, Jake, announced their family will have to leave the forest and Omatikaya, Neteyam took the news calmest out of all his siblings—Lo'ak, Kiri and Tuk. He convinced his parents to take you, his mate, with them.

After a long journey on your Ikrans, you all finally reached Awa'atlu. You landed and all the local Na'vi eyes were on you. The eldest Sully child didn't appreciate the judgmental gazes, especially on you, but didn't show it. He simply kept his hand linked with yours as you walked side by side, his tail lightly brushing against your back in a protective maner.

He kept his head bowed out of respect as his father discussed discussed everything with Tonowari, the olo'eyktan of Metkayina. He could already see his mother, Neytiri, and the Tsahik, Ronal, didn't seem too fond of each other.
