**PERSONAL LOG - MILES QUARITCH**

*Date: ××, ××, 2144

**Encounter Report: Y/n Aysara - Na'vi Individual**

Tonight's shift took an unexpected turn with the unanticipated entrance of Y/n Aysara, a Na'vi individual, into the watchtower premises.

**Initial Observations:**

Y/n Aysara displayed signs of distress and aggression upon entering. Communication attempts proved futile initially due to language barriers.

**Communication Facilitation:**

Utilizing the translation app on the tablet, Y/n Aysara revealed affiliation with Eywa and expressed intent to teach Na'vi culture. A peculiar choice of instructor, considering my position.

**Physical Examination:**

Distinct physical features noted: four ears, two tails, and luminescent patterns on the skin. Silver eyes suggest potential nocturnal adaptation.

**Sanitation Assistance:**

Noticed motor oil contamination on Y/n Aysara. Offered water and a makeshift cloth for cleansing, revealing an aversion to motor oil.

**Language Exchange:**

Engaged in linguistic exchange facilitated by the tablet. Y/n Aysara emphasized the desire to convey insights into Eywa's teachings and Na'vi ways.

**Departure and Unresolved Mysteries:**

Y/n Aysara departed at dawn, vanishing into a mining hole, referencing a location known as "The glows." Attempts to locate her proved unsuccessful.

***Recommend***

I have decided to keep this a private matter, Limiting access to my files about this event.

**Conclusion:**

The encounter with Y/n Aysara presents an unprecedented situation requiring careful consideration and collaboration with the research team. Future developments will be monitored and reported accordingly.

*End log.*

Miles reaching his unit that morning was most likely the quickest he ever had been from returning home from a shift. He had practically collided with the unit's door as he stumbled into the entrance. He knew he should've been more quiet upon entering but he couldn't as he quickly crossed the living room to his desk snatching open its compartments for his old beaten up Holo Tablet device that was years old. It was the only thing he knew without a doubt it couldn't be traced and it was where he liked to keep his more reserved work files onto. Clicking the old devices buttons he waited as the screen booted up and projected allowing him to jot down everything that had happened. Gentle foot steps from the hall to their shared room brought little attention.

“Mi cielo, What are you doing?” Paz's voice slightly echoed in their living room a yawn covering her tone as she padded into their shared space. Yet Miles turns quickly and rushes towards her.

“You're not going to believe what happened.” He brought her over to their sofa sitting her down before he explained everything moving the updated tablet he had on him showing her the recorded conversation he had taken and the few poor quality pictures he managed which over pixelated The navy womens glowing stripes as if the holy tablets camera were not sure where to focus on the woman's body.

“She just..came into the tower.” Paz questioned as she read through the conversation staring at the woman's image.

“Stumbled through the door more like.” Miles answered as he moved, getting up and heading towards the kitchen to make them coffee.

“She was nothing like the other species Dr.Augustine's team had reached out to…four ears, two tails hell, even two of those connected things.”

“I believe they're called Queues..” Paz replied as she got up from the sofa moving to the kitchen's bar top to lean against it watching the back of her love.

“You should really take this to Grace.”

Miles did not respond right away, turning to lean back into the counter as he looked at Paz's face.

“I dont think it's a wise idea.” He spoke his tone lower than it had moments before, causing Paz to raise a brow, a simple gesture that he knew that she wanted him to explain.

“We're already on edge with the forest clan, Yea, and this Glows whatever they are…Paz they gotta be underground. She disappeared into an old mining hole. Straight down vanished. You think that's gonna go well with Ridge? This whole time with parts and stuff going missing, Mine operations are stalling and there could be a whole another clan hidden below our feet?”

He watched as Paz's brows furrowed, how her eyes moved from him and into the holotable in her hands.

“So what are you going to do about this?” She asked him looking back to meet his eyes with hers.

“Right now ima keep this on the low. Transfer everything to my old tab and data erase everything on my work one. Take it one step at a time.” He answers her moving to the other side of the bar leaning against it moving his hand out to take one of hers.

“I'd like you to show me how to do that.” He watched her brows furrow once more making his lips twitch upwards some.

“Erase the data.”

A snort leaving her as she shook her head.

“I will erase the data, but i want to know what's going on, if you're insisting on playing solo investigator, and she comes back i want to know everything.” Paz spoke to him firmly and He squeezed her hand.

“I wouldn't ever keep a secret from you Darlin.” He assured her.

And He found himself staying on the night shifts longer than he had originally planned. The difference was now Paz would sometimes come to bring him ‘lunches’ in hopes that she would be with him on a night where the mysterious Navi woman would appear.

Weeks had gone by before She had appeared again, one a night after Paz had left from bringing him ‘lunch’.

It was another night spent with the translation app on his work holo tablet and a conversation made up between broken tongue of the device, With a small screen off to the corner out his main screen way on mute communicating everything to an old outdated Holotablet in the Hands of the very woman who had missed out on being physically present in this encounter.

It had seemed to Frustrate You more as the conversation was not as fluent as a flowing river. And so this night was nothing but you saying the words in the correct way and having him repeat it back to you.

“Whetu Nui '' You spoke to him slowly in a way it sounded like your tongue was fighting against your teeth as you tried to dumb the word down for him for what must've been the hundredth time in the past five minutes.

“Whetu Nui” He Spoke back and watched how your ears moved. It was fascinating they could move individually had you wanted them too, but it seemed more commonly for them to move together.

You had nodded your head at him seemingly content in his pronunciation on how to say Big star in your language.

“Pai.” Your voice echoed through the call, as Paz held Miles' old holo tablet in her lab as she sat at the edge of the bed.

You were a stunning sight, sitting there close to the watchtower's doors in the darkened room, but she could hardly agree it was dark with how brightly things were illuminated by your markings glow. Sometimes the Camera would catch locking onto your body allowing a crystal clear image of what you looked like and it was those times Paz found herself quickly sliding her fingers across the holo tablets projected screen to snapshot those clear short lasting seconds before the camera became blurry or pixelated, It wasn't entirely the cameras doing but more so how Miles could not sit completely still.

The next morning it did not take Miles long to quickly return to her after the navi woman left.

There they both quickly went over everything, over several shared cups of coffee and it ended with Paz erasing all corresponding evidence of this hidden encounter off Miles' work Tablet and had everything encrypted over to the old beat up one which Miles would store the device away at the work desk.

“She was beautiful.” Paz whispered as they both laid together in their bed, her head against his chest as she could feel his hand moving up and down her arm.

“You should see her in person, it's something else, Darlin.” He whispers back, making her huff and smack his chest.

“I will be there next time she comes.” causing a chuckle to leave him.

“Of course Darlin.”

but it seems you were on an entirely different time schedule.

For you never showed up at the same time each time you did appear. Always at different times and So Paz watched you through a screen speaking to Miles, more so teaching him more of your language and unknowingly her as well.

“Whaea Nui.” She listened to your streaming voice.

Paz slowly mouthed the words before she too spoke them aloud.

“Whaea Nui.” Glancing from the old Holotablet to her own updated work tablet with the translation app spirling its little icon before the line moved forming the translation of Na'vi to Human English.

‘Great mother’

“Wha Nu.” Miles' voice crackled through the old Tablet projected screen causing Paz to let out a snort.

“Kino!..Whaea Nui. W h a e a N u i.”

“Whea Nue” Miles attemption of repeating what you had once again slowed down for him. Paz watched the screen amusedly to see how your pixelated ears moved back.

“Whaea nui homai te kaha ki ahau me tenei tama a tetahi atu whaea.” Your voice moved through with tones of draining patients and While Paz didn't fully need to know what you must've said, she could feel your irritation to understand. Through her eyes moved to her work tablet watching how the words translated causing her to snort.

“Hey, I'm trying!” Miles' voice cut through the olden tablet caused Paz to snort out another round of chuckles as she could assume his own tablet finally translated your tongues language.

It wasn't long before the first rays of the Pandoran sun started to peek through her and miles room window, and not even a few moments longer before you had vanished through the mining operations sight and into another hole when Paz heard the clicking noise of her being unmuted.

“Where do you think those lead too?” She asks him.

“To wherever she keeps calling the Glows darlin.” Miles voice records over.

She keeps coming back and it seems every time she does I miss her by a hair. I can see why Miles is captivated by her, for I am just as much as entangled by her as well. Each time she does appear at that watch tower, I find myself more and more curious about her. I've been taking well to her lessons, practicing her tongue as if it was my own. I found myself whispering her raught words as I did my rounds through the engineering room or other assigned tasks throughout my shifts. Miles and I have both taken to studying the Navi language through the Translation app far more seriously.

When I do get to finally meet her, I want to be able to speak with her without the tablets. Focus more on her facial expressions, for language is more than just simply saying the words, it is a dance of expressions giving the words meaning and life in the conversation.

I believe actually hearing her voice in person versus the cracking of miles old screen will help with that.

The last encounter Miles had asked her when she would be back, She had replied in a hurry before leaving.

The translator spit out nonsense

‘When the water stops dripping.’

We both could not come up with what she meant by that, another reason why we must learn her language to understand her better.

Log Entry 2.

Date xx,xx,2144

She meant when it stops raining!

I sometimes forget how attune to nature they seem to be with this planet. It wasn't even a day after the last encounter before the storms started to roll in. I Have never seen such hard and heavy rain, so much clean water poured down.

Miles and I have taken to the patio during these days, just sitting and watching the rain fall. It's calming, Just us sitting beside each other watching the storm pelt clean water against our patio glass, beating down on the forest that surrounds the base.

We have discovered that even when the forest is being pounded by the heavy falling rain that it's brimming with life.

The amount of creatures that seem to come out during the rain was carefully documented by Hells Gates research team, and the data uploaded for all to see.

Miles and I got the delight to see one of these creatures up close against the patio's glass paneling. A strange little creature that Dr. Augustine's team drew common parallels to extinct earth species of Hylidae, Gekkonidae. Miles kept poking at the patio glass to make the little thing move around despite me telling him to stop.

Dr.Augustine's team predicts that the rains will continue for at least two weeks before the storm passes through. That at least gave Miles and I a rough idea of when she would start coming back again.

This time when she comes back, I will meet her.

Below It Glows chapter 5.

Miles Quaritch x Cave Navi reader.

Art made by @nin3kyuu Please check Her our on tumblr and her Instagram!

Y/n climbed and climbed until she reached the ledges of the cavern that had the strange tunnels that lead to the heart beatless rocks. Ears twitching listening for the faintest of sounds as her claws hooked into the rocky walls hoisting her frame up them. The higher she went up the more she could envision what the very first sky climbers must have felt when they too had climbed their way out of the glows and to chase after Eywas great skies. Did their ears twitch and flat out like her were doing as the tunnels they climbed from filled with echoes of the surface life? Did they too have their ears pounded by the noises of so many creatures? Did they smell and taste the changes in their noses and tongue the higher they climbed?

Her hand gripped and edge, and she pulled herself from the tunnel.

Was the surface air so chilly for them like it was for her?

you didn't remember it being so chilly last time when you and your friends came up to the surface, to see those heartbeat less rocks.

Insects took over the silence, her ears could pick up on them in every direction and with the constant chirping, screeching of wings and fluttering sounds of some kind of surface insect the strange and unfamiliar calls of animals clattered around her. Y/n had shuffled for a moment fingertips and claws grazing the wetten forest ground, caressing the stars of forest plants as she pushed herself up to stand.

So much noise, bouncing and dancing in the air.

How her lungs burned with each breath of this enteric atmosphere. ears perked up in different directions as for the first time in her entire life, She could see everything.

No.

She did not need to click her tongue against the upper jaw of her mouth, she did not need to click it more than once and wait for her ears to show her the way like she did in the glows.

The forest, Ewyas mighty lungs held a nature's orchestra to do that for her.

A misty vision of large never ending trees, the smells of plants, the ever so pacing of the smallest creatures revealing themselves to her like ghosts.

Everything here was so, overbearing that it lulled emotions from her head.

Y/n moved shakily.

You didn't remember everything being so loud, you didn't remember smelling so much, how exciting it was to see. You had been in such a hurry last time you didn't even stop to breathe in and out with the great mother herself.

Was this what they experienced?

The Sun chasers? Were they too overtaken by everything?

Wind blew through her hair and ears tickling them with soft kisses of chill. With a breath she too breathed out like the great mother did, exhaling out the Glows and inhaling in The forest.

How strange it was to reopen her eyes, when she could see so much around her with them close. But how glorious were the sights of plants so unlike her homes that greeted her little eye sight, over taking her once again as she reached out to some structure, her fingers barely touching the faintest of touches before the plant zipped away into the ground.

"'Going to the glows my friend?"' She softly whispered a smile grazing her lips.

"'Though it seems you bring home up here for them to remember it."'

She moved quickly, as fast as she could while taking in everything Ewyas great forest, her lungs could show her.

She was not foolish enough to believe she was safe in this unknown land. She knew that even the Sun chasers can be hunted, anything could be lurking in the trees and bushes. Under the glowing plants that delightfully filled her with reflected faith of how she was still connected to her very distant cousins, the sun chasers.

Course the great mother would always remind them of where they all came from, from her very own and mighty heart beat.

She could not stay still, she could not become prey. Her Mother and Father would be greatly disappointed if she allowed herself to be devoured, She couldn't allow that to happen and so she moved quickly taking in her wonderment as a side quest as she must focus on what Eywa had whispered to her to find.

The creature with blue eyes.

But with all the chatter and calls that made her head cock side to side to make out what could it possibly be that sounded like that she found herself being astray.

Where were the creatures? She had climbed up their strange burrowing tunnels but it led to no heartbeat less rocks.

Perhaps she should have asked Vayion to follow, he had a far better memory of his footsteps than she did. No doubt he would find it within minutes.

But with an exhale of the great mother herself a soft tingle ranges from her breathy release. Soft chimes of whispers made y/n turn around immediately, the chime fluttered closer and closer until a small blurr of luminous white that rivaled her own markings came into her sight. The dweller girl moved towards it and a gasp left her lips as she took in the fluttering seedling. Hands moving undering it bringing it so softly closer to her face as she admired a beauty she only saw drawn in old clay on the crystal adorn walls down a tunnel of her Aunts healing den.

Paintings of the very thing that had led her most distant ancestral cousins away from the glow.

That had guided the current swimmers to swim deeper and away from the glows and to make home in Ewyas Blood.

How such a small thing had whispered tales of great sky maps of glowy orbs to the night seers and promises to teach them each one as they took flight into the night, giving away their bond to ground and making home in Ewyas Eyes.

How it so playfully challenges the Sky climbers to out race it and touch the great mothers mind before it could.

Then came and cavorted away the Sand dancers to fill the dry silent lands of Ewyas Bones.

"'Look at you."' She praised the seedling of the whispering ancestors, how eager their hushed melodies were in her ears. How they seemed to flutter as excitedly as the seedling that kissed the skin of her palm.

"'Will you guide me now too little tree?"'

The fluttering seedling chimed with more eager whispers at the question before lifting away from y/n palm above her head and softly moved through the forest, never leaving her path of sight. A very knowing sign that this little seedling of a whispering tree was willing to show the beginning steps of Ewyas path that the great mother left for you.

Y/n followed the seedling until the forest started to grow less dense and barren, each step was beginning to falter as the scent of death rose into the air making her ears slicked back and nose scrunch. Yet the small woodsprite continued on through the changing of the atmosphere.

The misty vision of everything in her mind's eyes lessening and lessening as she took notice of the sounds of the Ewyas lungs fading away.

How could something so full of energy and life be so quiet now?

She stumbled over something making her fall to the ground, dust and dirt flying into her nose and eyes making them run and water as she coughed. Turning her head to look at what had caused her to fall, a sense of dread filled her because it wasn't just one in her path of sight but many.

Trunks of trees, fallen but this was no fallen of nature, nor from other clans peoples. Resources are taken scarcely to allow plants to continue to thrive, never taken so much it kills. But the stumps that were scattered in her small path of sight were all flat, unnatural.

Like the heartbeat less rocks.

The woodspite didn't leave her as she moved back up to find its guiding glow. Though bow Y/n had to clack her tongue through her teeth to see more around her than her limited sight and the misty visions of more and more unnaturally fallen trees filled her mind's eye making her ears slick back. What had more so filled her with dread was the fact how lifeless this area smelled, how it reeked of dying land, a stain.

A poison..

A blight…

A Plague, That threatened everything.

Her foot stepped into something slick and slimy causing a sound of distress to leave her as she tried to rub it off on the ground only to find it did not leave but smeared. She stepped her other foot into the foreign substance and moved to get away from it only to lose her bearing and slip, clattering to the ground and groaning as more of the substance covered her knees and hands. Propping herself up on her knees she moved her hands from the very very dark ground to find that the substance that covered her palms was equally as dark.

The smell alone was putrid, she noted as she moved her fingers together against the slick substance. She tried wiping it away on the ground to find that it would only smear more and more, as it clogged her skin, refusing to leave and in spite of leaving a residue. In desperation to remove it from her hands she smeared it onto her thighs brushing it away with little luck as more distress built in her gut.

This is sickness, this is poison.

The woodspite had made its way in front of her face, its glow providing a warming comfort that the great mother was with her and so were her ancestors that whispered from the unborn tree. As weak wind blew through her hair once more Y/n took a steady breath before pushing herself up to once again follow Ewyas little guide. The feeling of dread did not leave as she stepped in more and more puddles of that substance as the little guide led her to a large form of cold lifeless metal.

A really big heart beatless rock.

The putrid smell of that substance was only more amplified with the smell of burning, even if there seemed to be no smoke or signs of a warm toasty fire. Yet under this somehow levitating rock that had strange formations had the largest puddle of the substance. As if it was oozing out of this strange lifeless rock, like rotten blood.

Rotten blood spoiling and pooling around to infect anything around it and suffocate it before it caught the warning scent of death.

She moved away the lifeless rock, heeding the warning smells that plagued her nose, she knew she needed to get this substance off of her before its rottenness infected her and slowly killed her with its disease.

Silence so loud it caused ringing in her ears as she moved following the ever fainting light of the woodsprite that great mother had sent her way. She kept moving through this infection that overtook this part of Eywas lungs until she could smell a familiar scent of death that she once had many moons ago. More of that heart beatles rock in its strange gaping formation stood tall, taller than her behind it had false great stars beating down on more strange rock. The woodsprite had left her and Y/n knew she was to face onwards without the small guide. She took a moment to press on the strange bending rock, how it rattled noisily in the dread filling night. Its creaking made her ears slick back and sit to her knees and began to bury her hands into the infected soil below her feet.

She could not dare climb this rock, for she feared of it screaming out to whatever may harm her for miles. So she will be as swift as a nari'ekran and create a tunnel underneath this strange rock. Dirt mixed with the rotten blood as She crawled underneath pulling herself up from the other side, she used the heartbeat less rocks as shelter to keep the false big stars burning light from her eyes as she avoided the false stars as well. They provided a heat which did not bring the assuring comfort as The great mothers great star did. It felt as false as its light and She did not feel any desire to bathe under its false light as she moved quickly through the maze of heartbeat less and cold strange rocks. She maneuvered skillfully, her footsteps silent even as they stepped into more of that stenchful rotting blood, the infection from those rocks around her until she came to a mountain that bared none of Ewyas heartbeat.

Y/n trailed her hand against the cold lifeless stone knowing just by the touch she would not feel the Great mother in this strange stone, Her Queues would not open any tunnels but she followed the strange smoothness of this rock.

What creatures could make rock so smooth and lifeless?

Was this the work of the Ewyas sisters' children? Is this why She has sent you to teach the other sister's child with the sky blue eyes?

She came across stone carved differently moving upwards in perfectly leveled and dead. She ran her hands against the paved stone before ascending upwards her ears twitching as she listened for the softest sounds of life. Tails grazing the cold wall of smooth rock and the other on the steps as she climbed up higher and higher with such ease.

These stones were not the ones the sky climbers faced when leaving the glows, these stones could not ever lead to the great mothers great star. This must be the work of the other mothers children... .though Why? She understood not.

As she climbed higher and higher up the strange smooth mountain her ears perked her higher two standing up completely as she heard noises of life. The noises bounced back from where they came to her sense of sound so quickly it was like jumping from the highest ledge into the cooling pools of the glows. Y/n continued her nerves filling with caution and yet with so much curiosity as the end of her climb met with a flat wall.

“Come on, fucking work!”

The noises coming from the other side of the lifeless wall caused her ears to strain as she moved her hands over the smoothness.

“Piece of fucking shit!”

Such strange noises the other mothers' children make, sounds like squabblings of a baby.

Y/n pushed against the wall before balling her hand and banging on to it hoping that Eywa would bless her with the strength to break it down.

“Lyle if you forgot your fucking keycard again ima shove it up your-”

And as if she was back into the Glows connecting to the caverns around her with her own queues the smooth rock seemed to be filled with life as it moved, only it moved so quickly she barely had time to brace herself to not fall. Light poured from the now opened passage almost taking away her vision completely as she clattered out noises of displeasure,

“Holy fuck..”

And as she turned her head to the strange noises of the other great mothers child, she was met with eyes that rivaled the great blue of Ewyas .

And he was met with the gleaming silver of two magnificent stars that rivaled the bright lighted up sky with their brothers and sisters, staring at him barely five inches away from his own face.
