Unsung Heroes of Love

by Lord Shade

Many people don't know that Appa and Momo are both hopeless romantics, and if it wasn't for their meddling, many members of the Gaang would be single, heartbroken, or with the wrong person. A series of drabbles about two unsung heroes of love.

Lost Tales

For hundreds of years, the world would read stories of the adventures of Avatar Aang and his journey to end the Great War. Poems, stories, and textbooks would chronicle his life before and after the War, which marked a turning point in the life world. Aang would be celebrated in history as the catalyst for an almost endless time of peace and harmony. The exploits of Aang, Sokka, Katara, Toph, and Zuko would forever be acknowledged in museums, be the source on enormous memorials, and used to lull restless children to bed. Throughout history, they would be hailed as some of the greatest heroes in the world.

However, history would fail to recognize the exploits of two of the legendary Gaang's most crucial members: Appa and Momo.

Appa and Momo would forever more be unsung heroes of the world, remembered only as the Avatar's pets

Except among the lemur and air bison population. In the last hundred years, the population had grown considerably, no longer making these majestic sky beasts extinct.

They are the only creatures in the whole world to tell the lost tales of Appa the Mighty and Momo the Brave. The chirps, growls, hisses, and bellows of these animals were really conversation in which the beasts would acknowledge Appa's and Momo's contributions to the world. It wasn't until another Avatar was able to make a spiritual link with a lemur and hear these stories that the human race learned about their greatness.

These are their tales.
