The Sully kids decide to move to the Omatikaya. Unknown to the kids the territory has been conquered by the "Soum Navi". The future from that day was decided for the Omatikaya. The region became an extension to the way of Soum enforced by urban infrastructure, centralized imperial administration, specialized Evya ritualized as the King in Soum would do.
The band of kids consisted of Kiri, Netyam, Loak, Aonung, Tsireya.
The kids stop near a water hole. They walked from here since the fear of humans especially RDA was not subsided. They notice some navi very different from their own understanding. These men wore chest plates, chain mails and were galloping horses in formations.
The kids hid in a nearby bushy area. Soon they heard an explosion. They thought these are human. The unidentified Navi spoke a differently alien tongue. The kids realized these were not avatars.
The Kids went to the spot from where they had heard of the creator. It seemed their eyes were lying to them. The Navi were mining, using gunpowder to bomb open the rich earthly deposits.
Tsireya was horrified of this Kiri clinched her mouth instructing her not to make a noise
Loak pointed towards a board which had some writing on it. Their belief became stronger than these were not agents of RDA but something native to Pandora. Something they didn't have answer to.
A tall figure walked the above the kids He was a large bulkier navi wearing some sort of a standard military uniform. A long coat drapped at knee-length, terrain suited boots decorated which looked like medallions. He wore a decorated helmet.
Aonung pointed towards a side alley The kids ran into the side alley running as fast as they could. Kiri pointed they had no idea where the old Omatikaya was. There was flags all around depicting a navi splitting a thanator in half over his shoulders.
The side alley leads them on a tree, big enough to hide not small enough not to catch any unnecessary attention. At this place they discuss what to do next.
Kiri beaks down crying claiming she was the one who wanted to meet grandma, Grace and others. Others objected saying final decision was all of their vote.
A sound came of far away. The kids realized that their mounts have been captured.
Loak pointed that's been approximately 2 yrs since they have not visited Omatikaya.

The kids plan to rest for a while then continue their journey. Loak pressures on the fact that maybe everyone in not dead, maybe everyone is safe. We cannot assume he says.
The kids park their belongings, they rest in a secluded cave, far away the voices can be heard some words they cannot understand some signs they cannot read. The language is not Navi.
The kids go towards the old cave they find the system marked with name plates in an unknown scripts, heavily militarized guard around. They mange to sneak in the chamber To their delight Grace' avatar is still there but to their horror none of the humans and other mobile avatars and avatar pilots can be found.
Kiri greets her mother's avatar but Loak hears some noise Aonung finds a small hole near the wall behind an ikran banner. They slide into it. Two well build men enter the navi chamber. Both of them have a saber on their waist, and a bayoneted musket. One of them is not clothed above the waist he's bulkier than the other. The foreigner guards conversation reveal the unfortunate events what happened to the humans.
Aonung trips over the hole. The hole broke, revealing the hole isn't a hole but a natural window the occupiers constructed for natural air conditioning. The kids look down and find they are not in the old cave but an engineered building linked to the old cave system. They are 5 stories from the ground. The kids grab a vine nearby that swung using the same piece of flora they landed two floor down.
They find Netyam and Tsireya who briefed about the big reveal that RDA has been wiped out of this place. The word lands as an absolute horror to them.

On a dark evening the Loak and Aonung meet Kiri who is unhappy and want to meet every elder.
The kids after some discussion decide to move in darkness so they nobody knows. They plan it as a simple swift mission. They soon are intercepted by Neteyam. The elder brother objects initially but is later persued by his sister Kiri.
Aonung spills the beans to his sister Tsireya who persuades Kiri to come.
The Sully mount their Ikrans after 3 days. Neteyam announces the details.
Tsireya with Kiri, Aonung with Loak while he declares as the leader he should travel alone. The kids and in some days time land on the Outskirts of Omatikaya forest.

After days of travelling the kids stuble upon a boy who somehow manages to crash an Ikran into a cliff stuck on a tree in a canyon.
Loak spills a bucket of water on his face Kiri shouts you don't treat the wounded like this.
The boy wakes up blabbering some rubbish. He speaks some rubbish but now switches to navi he points towards a waist pouch. Loak hands him the bag the boy takes a small palm sized knife from his pouch. He cuts his arm slits it open takes out some splinters then stitches the arm back. Everyone is shocked at seeing this.
Aonung offers him refuge. The boy first hesitates but when Neteyam argues to the boy he says yes to the offer.
