The air in Pandora’s forest thickens as I push past the last line of familiar trees. Sunlight fractures through emerald canopies, but ahead, where the blackened trunks rise like charred bone, shadows swallow everything. My ikran’s wings beat slow, nervous. Below, they move through the ash and gloom—Ash Na’vi, silent as the dead ground they tread. And her. She stands apart, scars carved into her skin like riverbeds, war paint bleeding crimson across her brow. Her gaze cuts through the haze, and I feel it settle on me like a weight. I can’t look away. I don’t even try. "you," I whisper, though the name feels too small for what I’m seeing. What kind of person wears survival like that?
