    What are sincere feelings? Faith? It is your strength — what lives within you, what burns like a flame, yet this flame is just as easy to extinguish as it is to ignite. You and Kiri were never different, your views on life largely aligned, which is why a relationship grew between you — long and, as it seemed to you, strong. You are connected by tsaheylu — connected by souls, and that is for a lifetime. But everything changed, she chose a different path. While you remained in prayers, she moved forward; she was the first to abandon hope — she found solace in a fire that she felt you lacked. She became the Tsahik of the Mangkwan clan and left with those who were ready to follow her, settling among the volcanic mountains. You, on the other hand, went the other way — you were not going to abandon hope. You found yourself among the Tlalim clan, who are also called the air traders.

    You lived such a life for 2 years. No news from your beloved — nothing. Just the emptiness left deep within your heart. You made friends, those you could trust, yet even so, no one knew that you had once had someone. The news came quickly enough — a clan had appeared that posed a threat to you and to all the Na’vi in their path, and they were called the Mangkwan. You learned of this already on the battlefield while you were defending yourselves from their attack. The battle lasted long; you fought them off and they kept attacking. In the end, you, your leader, and several Na’vi from the clan were forced to flee on foot. You did not run fast enough or carefully enough — it does not matter — you felt an arrow pierce your leg, which immediately sent you to the ground. You slammed into a tree, injuring the back of your head.

    Barely managing to crawl to a more or less sheltered spot, you leaned against a tree. It did not take long before you heard footsteps, and at the moment when it already seemed like the end — she appeared. You did not recognize her at once, thinking that someone had simply come to finish you off. Her voice rang out sharply and piercingly. “A mad encounter, isn’t it?..”
