A girl stood alone at the Western Air Temple. She had sleek, long black hair that was pulled back into a braid. A light breeze blew a loose strand of hair into her face, and she pushed it behind her ear. She took one last look around, as if waiting for something. Then, deciding that it was not going to come, she tapped her staff on the ground and it opened up into a glider with yellow wings. Just as she was about to kick off the ground, she looked up and saw a figure flying towards the temple. She quickly closed her glider and hid behind a nearby statue, blocking herself from the view of the approaching figure.
A large sky bison landed in the Western Air Temple. Five people jumped off of a saddle on its back. One looked to be about twelve, he was also bald and had a large blue arrow on his head, arms, and feet. An airbender! There was a girl with dark hair and pale blue eyes that looked like she was the same age as the airbender boy, but she was wearing Earth Kingdom clothing. The rest looked like they were fifteen or sixteen years old. There was another boy from the Earth Kingdom. He was tall and muscular with long black hair. The last two were wearing Water Tribe clothing and looked like they were related. The girl had long brown hair that was put in a braid and large blue eyes. Her brother also had blue eyes and brown hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. They walked over to large fountain and sat by it.
"Do you guys remember when we came here during the war?" the Water Tribe girl asked.
"Yeah," the airbender boy laughed, "And this is where Zuko first joined our group."
"And we almost didn't let him," the Water Tribe boy added, "but Aang needed a firebending teacher."
The airbender boy was the Avatar! The girl behind the statue gasped, then slapped her hand over her mouth and stiffened up. But the people sitting by the fountain turned their heads in the direction that the noise had come from.
"Did you hear that?" the Earth Kingdom boy asked, looking around.
"Who's there?" the Water Tribe boy demanded.
"It's one person, they're behind that statue!" the Earth Kingdom girl told the rest of them, pointing to the statue the girl was hiding behind.
Knowing that she had been discovered, the girl sighed, picked up her staff, and slowly stepped out from behind the statue. Avoiding eye contact with anyone else, she looked straight at the airbender and spoke directly to him. "Avatar, it is an honor to finally meet you, my people have been searching for you for many years to-"
"Wait a second!" the Water Tribe boy interrupted, "Who are you? And what do you mean your people? Why were you looking for Aang?"
The girl looked at the Water Tribe boy, then back at the Avatar. "My name is Kai Yu," she told him, "I come from a group of air nomads that escaped from the southern temples over a hundred years ago when the Fire Nation attacked. Most of us aren't benders, but we've been looking for you to tell you that some of your people survived."
The Avatar's eyes went wide with disbelief, and he turned to the Earth Kindgom girl. "Toph?"
"She's not lying," she answered. The whole group looked at the Air Nomad girl in disbelief, and she smiled nervously.
The Avatar was the first to speak. "This is amazing! Some Air Nomads have survived after all! How many benders are there?"
Kai Yu looked down. "Just me," she said quietly, her grey eyes suddenly sad. She looked up again and told them, "Well I should leave, my people have to hear about this."
"Wait, before you leave," the Avatar said, "Let me introduce my friends. I'm Aang." He motioned to the Water Tribe girl with his hand, "This is Katara," he motioned towards the Water Tribe boy, "Her brother, Sokka," then the Earth Kingdom boy, "This is Haru," and last, he motioned towards the Earth Kingdom girl, "And Toph." When he was finished, he turned back to Kai Yu. "Are you going to come back here tomorrow?"
She smiled. "Yes, actually, I will."
"Then we'll see you then," Aang replied.
She nodded. "It was nice meeting you all." She opened up her glider and kicked off of the ground, disappearing into the clear, blue sky.
