Book: Unknown
Chapter 1
His Awakening
At the beginning it just began as a boy just going through his daily chores by getting a bucket of water from the river for his family. Then by the time this boy got to the river an eerie voice crept up behind and said "Your time of sleep is now over, fulfill what you were made for and awaken". Now this boy had awoken on a haystack with an old man by his side trying to shake him off "hey kid get off my product of feed" the old man said while shouting. "Where am I?" the boy asked the old farmer "well one things for sure kid you should get off my property or I'll slam you down like a platypus bear!!!" "Thanks for your help then you old farmer", the boy got of the haystack and walked out to front of the barn "oh and kid your in Galoring" said the old farmer at last.
By the time he left something came to mind "wait a minute who am I? And what am I wearing" he said to himself. He started to see what he was wearing which was a long black cloak with a hood , he also had black gloves, then he checked his feet which were strong boots (black also) "strange clothing I wear, nothing like the other people in this area". Now he checked what was inside his cloak to his surprise it were two short samurai swords "Black also, damn I need two know who I am and know what's with this black".
"I might as well check out this town and maybe I can find some relative or friend or something". For about two hours our little friend has been asking question to about everyone in Galoring, just wandering around asking people at random rich or poor asking if they know who he is, but alas no one knew him. Until he just ran to a dead end "damn giant wall, as if I'm not frustrated enough" then he just punched the wall and suddenly wind just shot out from his hand and blew the wall to pieces. "What in the world did I just do?" by then he knew what this was called "oh wait its called air bending hmmmm, how come I know that but not my name?" he asked himself. "I wonder if I can jump over that wall. They do say most air benders can jump really high if they concentrate hard enough". All he did was concentrate on his feet. he then closed his eyes and jumped. He opened his eyes and saw that he can jump about 20 feet in the air "wow I am really going to hate myself by showing myself how to land without knowing how to land correctly" then by sudden dumb luck he lands in a pond.
Now he was our wet hero "well I deserve that, um where am I now". "looks likes someone's courtyard, well no sense in staying here" while he started to get out of the pond and stepped on solid ground it suddenly just started to suck him in and bury until only his head was left above the ground "hey what's going on!!! I was just leaving you know!!" he started yelling out "shut up your creating a scene" a voice that came from behind him. It was a girl by the sound of her voice "um can you just unbury me now so I can be on my way" he asked "sorry I don't take requests" she answered back "well can I just see the person who Is probably going to kill me then" he asked one more time "fine then that sounds merciful to me" then she just walked around him so he can have a better look. To his surprise she looked blind, but beautiful "can I at least know the name of the girl who will either let me go free or kill me? Wish I can tell you mine, but I don't…. know it" he asked with confidence and embarrassment "my name is Toph Bei Fong and why is it you can't remember your own name what are you stupid?" Toph asked. For awhile our hooded fellow explained what he knows and doesn't know.
By the time he finished he asked if he could be let go now "since you have a good reason and weren't lying I'll let you go" she said finally. All Toph did was a hard step on the ground and like a jump came back above ground again "thanks Toph, my body was starting to get numb on me". Now something peeked his interest "hey Toph" he asked "what is it?" she answered "umm… how can you see things even though your blind? Just curious you know" Toph smirked a little "I can sense the vibrations with my feet, so I can just see the form of the objects, person, or animals. Whichever walks on the earth to see"? He was amazed at the answer "you have a very special gift Toph, but you accept as though it's a curse why?" all of a sudden the smirk she gave was gone "because people never understand, they just think I'm a helpless because of my blindness, no one accepts me for who I am". He almost had nothing to say, but somehow he felt the same pain as Toph before, but did not know where it came from "I don't think you as helpless, I think of you as someone who is strong because only you accept who are and don't change for no one, the only person to know who's perfect is yourself, so please don't be sad". For that one moment a connection was made by these two a bond.
Sunset was beginning and now he felt unwelcome "wait!" Toph said out loud "you should check your hood because there seems to be a note" he checked and there was a small piece of paper he red it out loud, but only 4 words were written on it "My name is Xen". "well now my journey begins now so I'll know I will see you again Toph" Xen just smiled "oh and good luck at earth rumble VI" Toph looked like she was inspired by Xen "And to you good luck on finding your lost memory" to that Xen just jump away and with better results on the landing.
That night Xen had no idea where he was going and wound up lost in a forest somewhere. "I really should have asked Toph for the nearest town first" he said to himself and whispered "i am a real idiot just like Toph said". Xen decided to lay down next to a tree he just guessed to go on, thinking to himself what is Toph doing right about now "I guess I am falling in love with that girl" he said to himself in a soft gentle voice "well at least a can tell by age I'm only two years older than her". Then all of a sudden there was a rustle in the trees, Xen became cautious and pulled out one of his swords. Suddenly he turned behind himself and blocked a strike that came what looked like a stab from a katana.
"Who are you?!!!" he yelled out to the figure In front of him, the full moon shined brightly and Xen was able to see the figure only a sudden he saw this person was dressed the same way he was, bout the color of it was white and its hood was up "I can see you've forgotten who I am Xen" the person said in an eerie voice "how do know my name?" he asked "are someone from my past?".
The figure pulled his sword back "tell me Xen, have you mastered your fire and air bending yet?" it asked "I can fire bend" Xen said in confusion. The figure let out a sigh "looks like the fun won't begin for awhile until you face someone from your past" it said. Then all of a sudden the figure slammed its hand to the ground and a crater was made and dust filled the area where Xen was, the figure disappeared as mysterious as it appeared. Suddenly Xen looked up at the night as saw a giant bison past by flying over his head. "From this point this journey will have a couple roadblocks, mostly enough for some R&R". Xen then just rested the rest or night not knowing that someone or something will follow until his lost memories will return, but until then he just have to be very careful.
