As the Clan Chief and Shaman of the Omaticaya gather the other clans, a river of lava threatens to destroy the Tree of Souls. The Shaman's premonition has come true; The Tree of Souls is in danger! And while our young heroes have gathered the five sacred objects, all the water of Pandora and all the tears of the Na'vi will not be enough to extinguish the deadly fire. The lava will engulf the Tree of Souls until it is turned to ashes. How will the clans live without their connection with Eywa, the Great Mother? How can they avoid extinction?

When all hope seems lost, Toruk reappears in the sky between the cliffs with a young Na'vi on its back. He has achieved the impossible! The creature does its best to help the Na'vi youths reach the island, but when they fly too close to the burning tree, Toruk is wounded and crashes to the ground, where it draws its last breath.
