Summary
Above the clouds, Neytiri directed her ikran to dive, flattening her back so that she didn’t get buffeted by the wind. She lifted her torso when the human airship flew into her sightline, pulling back on her bowstring and letting her arrow fly. It landed with a satisfying thunk, and the Samson began to spin out of control, its pilot dead in the cockpit.
She directed her ikran back into the sky as she notched again, rolling over until she was dead on with another pilot, the sea becoming the sky above her. She yelled loudly as she loosed her arrow, feeling a sick satisfaction at the death of another human. Distantly she heard Neteyam yell as well, powerful in his sound as he sent an aircraft plummeting to the sea below.
“Mom, Dad!” came Kiri’s voice over the comms, steeped in fear and worry. “Please, can anyone come in?!”
“I’m here, my love,” Neytiri replied, levelling out her ikran and casting her gaze in the direction of the village. “What is it? What is wrong?”
“I-It’s Spider,” Kiri replied, barely able to get her words out through her tears. “They-they took him!"

Summary
“But,” Spider suddenly said, cutting his gaze between the two parents. Lo’ak could see his confusion, but underneath all that he noticed his voice held just the tiniest bit of hope as he said, “but why?”
“Because you are part of this family,” Neytiri told him, her expression open and genuine. “And we would like to know how you are feeling, we want to know what frightens you, what worries you. We want you to be part of what we have here.”
Spider looked speechless, but Lo’ak could see that glimmer of hope turn into a shimmer, his eyes filling with tears and his voice becoming hoarse with emotion. “But, I’m not a Na’vi.”
Jake sighed heavily at that, running his hand along the back of his head. “We wanted to face this conversation at a better time,” he told him, glancing over to Neytiri who nodded, “but I guess there’s no better time like the present.”
Lo’ak could feel excitement bubbling in his chest, glancing between his parents in hope for Spider.

Summary
After weeks of the same four grey walls, the open sea and sky was a balm for Spider’s mind. He’d taken his first step out of the doors and grinned, waving off Norm’s warning about his mask as he pattered down the steps. He stopped again at the bottom, staring at the sand beneath his toes in curiosity, wiggling them into the soft sensation and revelling in the refreshing coolness of the deeper layers.
He’d felt sand before, but it had been full of debris from the huts, and he’d been too concentrated on the sound of crackling flames and the all encompassing grip on the back of his neck–
He shook his head violently, the ends of his ponytail hitting the edge of his mask. No thinking about that, no bad thoughts. Not today. He was healed, he was out of that situation and for once he thought he deserved a bit of fun.

Summary
To his utter surprise, Neytiri came back the next day this time with Tuk in tow. Neytiri asked Spider to sit as he had the day previous, and Tuk climbed onto the bed with him, chatting mindlessly about her chores, the fish she saw today, what she’s thinking of calling her ilu whilst Neytiri pulled the comb through Spider’s hair, now out of its plait and falling over his shoulders.
Chatting with Tuk kept him awake this time, more aware but less nervous about what Neytiri would do to his head if left alone. Her fingers were gentle though, as they had been the day before, and Spider’s own uncertainty was sending his head into spins.
Tuk stood up on the bed, leaning against Spider’s shoulder so she could watch what her mom was doing. She made appreciative noises as she worked, tilting Spider’s head back so that she had a better view of the top of his head.
“Why didn’t you do this sooner?” Tuk asked Spider, leaning down so she was looking at him from upside down.
“I liked my hair,” Spider grumbled, crossing his arms. “It looked cool.”
Tuk laughed at him, but not in a mean way. “I bet you thought it was cool because Dad wears his hair the same way,” she said, and Spider spluttured loudly.

Summary
“He’s my father. Quaritch is my father. How am I meant to live with that?!”
Neytiri froze, her blood ran cold, and she suddenly felt as if she were floating. Memories flashed behind her eyelids. The forest burning around her, Home Tree falling to the ground, her father dying in her arms, that same vitriolic anger burning and bubbling through her veins. She couldn’t see the resemblance, but the very idea that that demon still existed in some way fueled a burning fury.
“What?” she said very quietly, and Jake’s head snapped around to her. His eyes widened in surprise, and he stood to place his hands against her arms. But Neytiri only had eyes for the boy, who stared at her in terror and guilt. “What did you say?”
“I’m sorry,” the boy said, and if Neytiri was in the right frame of mind she’d be snarling at the idea of a child apologising for his very existence. “I didn’t know. Norm– he, he told me today because I found some photos. I’m so sorry. I didn’t know.”
“You…” she snarled, pulling back her lips to expose her teeth. “You are never able to see my children again! Demon!”
