"Good morning world" a young man said as he opened his dark brown eyes. He rubbed his tired face very slowly, not wanting to start his new day. "Why is my sleep so short" he said to himself as he climbed out of bed.
The young man had tanned skin and almost black hair that was nicely trimmed. He was short and board natural for a earthbender. These were the traits that any earthbender would die for, except he was not. The young man we know was Kyi.
Kyi was not normal he lived alone in an empty house close to the village. The empty house used to accommodate his family although not now. His mother was a waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe. She was fearless and had dark hair and brown eyes. His father was a earthbender that is all that he knew. His father had vanished many years ago. He wished to know what he looked like although his mother and grandparents never spoke about him. It was almost if they never wanted him to know about his father.
A few years ago his mother said that he wanted to explore. She promised she would be back soon, she would send letters every week. Soon these letters slowly reduced until he never got one again. He then travelled to live with his grandmother for some time. He found that she was like a brick wall. She almost never replied, mostly with "yes" or "na". If you got really lucky it might even be a "Ok Kyi". Kyi shortly left but remembered his grandmother. His grandmother always told him about him having this mother's hair and his father's physical looks.
(Flashback)
"you just like your mother and father, its great to see you, so healthy." His grandmother said.
"When… when will they he back? When will I next see them?" asked Kyi quickly. This grand mother did not reply but only thought to herself. "I wonder what bender he might be, its hard to tell, maybe fire… no earth." Kyi only sat there patiently waiting for an answer, though none was to come.
(End of Flashback)
Now here he was getting ready for the day, packing his bag full of bread rolls and eggs which he wanted to sell at the market. He open the wooden door of his house, locked the door. He would never return.
Village
"Sir I would like to sell you this- " he could not finish his sentence as the man wearing black and green robes walked quickly away. "Why can't I sell anything today" Kyi said to himself. He let this mind wonder, dreaming before you knew it he was asleep.
He woke to find not as many bread rolls and eggs as before he went to sleep. "Not again" he said to himself. "My bread" he shouted not realizing what he had just said. Suddenly, everyone turned to face a scruffy young man wearing dirty clothes. They then turned back to what ever they where doing before. Suddenly, Kyi saw a sign saying " Do you want to find out if you are a bender? What bender are you? Come to Republic City to find out!"
"I have to get there" Kyi thought to himself. He picked up his backpack and ran towards the train station. Before he knew it he was on a train heading to Republic City.
Republic City
Kyi jumped of the train ran down the steps, while also getting frowns for every person that he bumped into. Lucky for him, he spotted signs that pointed towards the event. When he got close he only had to follow the crowds of people. He approached to find some people standing on the stage. On the right hand side standing in a group were two males that looked to be the same age as him. There was also a girl that he had read about many times before, avatar Korra. There also a man with an arrow on his head, he wore a red uniform. In the centre there was a women sitting down. Kyi watched as a man walked up on stage. He sate opposite to the lady. The lady then proceeded to touch the man's heart and forehead. Suddenly she shouted "Earth bender". The crowd cheered and shout. She then looked around for another member to be picked on.
Kyi jumped up and down waving his hand. "you" the lady said. Everyone then turned and smiled at him. Kyi froze still, but realised he had been picked as everyone called him up. He pushed to the front and then walked up the stairs onto the stage. He then passed the group of four on the right hand side. He then proceeded to sit down. "What's your name?" the lady asked.
"I…I'm Kyi. I wanted to know if I was a earthbender or a firebender, maybe not even a bender." Said Kyi
"Hmmmm lets see" the lady croaked. At this moment see touched his heart and forehead. The crowd silenced. She waited for a second. She looked up. "I..I never before have I , you are an airbender!" said the lady. The crowd did not cheer like before but many whispered to their peers. The group four walked towards Kyi. The man with the arrow on his head spoke first. " You better come with me, well I am amazed, never before. Anag would be so pround."
"Who is Anag? Get off me! I have to go!" shouted Kyi
Everything went black.
He awoke to find all four members looking at him. " he is awake Tenzin, get over here" someone said.
"Hello I'm Tenzin. I am a fellow airbender on Air Temple Island in Republic City. I thought I would never see an airbender not in my own family, well its amazing. Sorry what happened back there but, we thought he was best. Here you can start your airbending training along with four other very kind kids." He pointed at each one saying the name and what bender they were. Bolin earthbender, Macho Firebender, Korra the avatar all elements, myself air bender master.
"It's a little much to take it, but like where will I stay and other things like that." Asked Kyi as he stood up.
"All will be answered" said Tenzin.
Tenzin then explained about his living courters and training that would begin tomorrow. He then left, leaving the rest to mingle for a while. "Hi I'm Korra, I am really excited to meet you, hope that we can be friends." Said Korra nicely. Would he saw as an tanned, healthly girl not bad looking invite him to be friends. She wore water tribe, blue clothes. She had sparkling blue eyes and dark hair. He was over the moon. " Yeah , Yehaaa, we can." Said Kyi. He already had something her. He did not know himself, he was not super tall and muscular like the other two men standing next to her.
"yeah a new sparer would be nice" said Macho in a relaxed voice.
"don't be so mean to the new guy. Dude it's a great place here you will have lots of fun." Said Bolin in a kind voice.
"I am excited to start, I want to be able to spar you guys and get into shape." Said Kyi slowly while blushing. The others laughed and smiled.
This was the start of a new begining.
