				They came from the sea.<br><br>Red men, as tall as the Na’vi but with gills for breathing in the water and golden shimmering scales lining their scarlet bodies.&nbsp; They were lithe but strong, with webbed fingers and toes, and they spoke a language similar to the followers of Eywa.&nbsp; But they were not kin to the Na’vi, and had no desire for life on the land.&nbsp; The depths of the oceans were their domain, and they ruled their kingdoms beneath the sea for many hundreds of years before they had ever thought their world was more than water.<br><br>When they came, they hunted the most dangerous predators in the jungles.&nbsp; But Viperwolves and Stingbats were nothing compared to the challenge of the blue skinned Na’vi.&nbsp; Intelligence made them interesting foes, and when one was taken down, his braid was taken as a trophy.&nbsp; For years, the sea people hunted the Na’vi, until war was declared.&nbsp; The Na’vi drove the sea people back to the oceans, and maintained a vigilant watch along the shores and coasts of Pandora for many years.<br><br>But time passed, and with it, word of the sea people.&nbsp; They were stories told to the young, that the sea people would come and snatch away unwary children and drag them off to the sea.&nbsp; But other than being terrors of bed time stories, the sea people were forgotten.<br><br>After the Sky People were driven from Pandora, the waters once more birthed the red skinned creatures of legend.&nbsp; From the depths, a scout was dispatched, to travel once more to the surface world and determine the way of things.&nbsp; The death of one of the Hometrees was felt even miles beneath the ocean, and was deemed a threat grave enough to send one of their own to investigate the troubles.&nbsp; The red skinned scout watched the defeat of the Sky People, and their subsequent removal from Pandora.&nbsp; Life settled for the Na’vi, and it was then that the scout knew he had to investigate the followers of Eywa.<br><br>Traveling through the thick jungle, his lungs able to breathe deeply of Pandora’s air because of its thick humidity, the scout from the Sea People explored the landscape, following a set of tracks that could only be Na’vi.&nbsp; He was tall, with short dark hair, red skin lined in golden shimmering scales, and had wide, yellow eyes.&nbsp; Along his neck were thin gills, though they were opened more now that he was out of the water.&nbsp; His webbed fingers and toes were rimmed with the same golden scales, and he wore only a simple loincloth of shells and Razorfin hide.&nbsp; He carried with him a net of kelp fiber and a long spear crafted from the spine of an <em>atukimaya</em>, one of the saw-toothed hunters of the deep.&nbsp; <br><br>While he was no warrior of his clan, he could certainly handle himself, and none of Pandora’s surface predators could really compare to the dangers his kind faced in the dark depths below.&nbsp; He made easy passage through the jungle, tracking the Na’vi, his curiosity growing with every step.<br>

				Marali, a Na'vi woman of unusual height stopped in mid stride, her cat-like feet wrapping around the moss-slicked limb of a winding tree. One of her slender ears twitched, jostling the stretched lobe against her black hair. Her black pupils immediately dilated in anticipation, she knew that scent, like fish out of water. It reeked. A small growl died in her throat as she shifted, placing her arrow upon her back, next to the makeshift quiver. Slyly, she moved, making it so her movements made little to no detectable noise. <br><br>With one elegant leap she propelled from one branch to another, back tracking to where the lake was. The lake she was left for dead so many years ago. The one she lost her sight in one eye at. Another small growl died in her throat, never making a true sound as she dropped from the branch and into the mud, using her fingers to search the foot prints she thought she saw. When none seemed to be held in the dampened earth, she shrugged and climbed back into the tree, retracing her steps until she happened upon an injured viperwolf. In one swift, agile move she dropped from the branch and landed on the forest floor. Her odd hands fell flat against the ground, as did her feet. The poor creature pathetically whimpered and whined up at her, it's eyes full of terror as she unsheathed the weapon which often lay concealed against her inner arm. After giving thanks to the creature for it's sacrifice to her clan she thrust the blade into it's brain-stem, effectively ending it's life as painlessly as she could. A thanator had been responsible for the creature's injuries. <br><br>Slowly, Marali stood to her feet, shoulders rounding and back growing rigid. That familiar scent, one that haunted her dreams for so long, wafted on the gentle breeze. Fear struck Marali to the core as she slowly turned to the direction from which she sensed danger, carefully she pulled her bow from he back and strung an arrow into it "<em>neto, tìkawng!</em>" (Away, Evil). <br><br>After what had happened to her, those many years ago, Marali refused to give the red a chance to defend or explain himself.
