Jedi Master 325 here with my latest Legend of Korra fanfic. I came up with the idea of what Bumi's life might have been like if he'd been an airbender instead of a non-bender.
Summary: While on a vacation at the Southern Air Temple, an 11 year old Bumi discovers that he is an airbender. His life is about to change in more ways than he could possibly imagine as he bonds better with Tenzin and helps him teach the next Avatar airbending.
Chapter One
One day at the Southern Air Temple, Avatar Aang and his family were on vacation and enjoying the peace and quiet. Aang was meditating with Tenzin and an impatient Bumi. Bumi was having trouble finding his inner peace. " Dad, I don't see the point in this whole meditation thing." Bumi said feeling frustrated. " Bumi, the whole point of meditation is to quiet your mind and ease your frustration." Aang said as he continued with his meditation.
Bumi closed his eyes and tried once again to concentrate. Suddenly, he felt a feather tickling his nose. Without warning, Bumi sneezed, and flew about 3 feet in the air. Bumi's screams snapped Aang out of his meditative trance. He saw Bumi falling towards the ground and used his airbending to give Bumi a safer landing. Aang was shocked. His non-bending son had merely sneezed but ended up flying into the air.
" Bumi, how did you do that?" Aang asked as he helped his son up off the ground. " I don't know Dad. All I did was sneeze, and I ended up going three feet into the air. But it felt higher than that." Aang thought for a minute and said, " Bumi, try to make the branches in that tree over there move without touching them." Bumi nodded and got into an airbending stance he'd seen his father use whenever he practiced his airbending.
Bumi swung his arm and gust of air hit the tree branches and made them sway to the breeze. Aang looked at his son with a look of joy on his face. " Bumi, you can airbend! I have to tell everyone that my eldest son can airbend!" Aang shouted with glee as he took off on his air scooter to inform everyone in the Temple that Bumi could airbend. Bumi ran after his father, happy that he could finally air bend.
And that is the end of chapter one. Leave a review, and I will get chapter two written.
