Dreams And Nightmares
Hey Guys this is my first ever fanfic so I hope I did okay. I'm a huge fan of both the original series and Korra. I'll be updating almost every day or at least try to. Please leave a review, follow do whatever you'd like. Please criticize me but constructively. This is the first chapter of many. Enjoy!
"Earth, Fire, Air, Water… Earth, Fire, Air, Water" he repeats these words to himself as he lies restlessly in his bed. He has been getting less and less sleep lately. Maybe this is due to the fact that he will be starting his junior year in school in the coming days. However ever since the search for the new avatar had come up empty he'd been wondering if the avatar line was discontinued. These thoughts raced through his head until it started hurting him. He then decided it'd be best if he tried and got some sleep. He gently closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
…
He begins to hear whispers; feel chills and feels the wind pulse through his hair. It's dark but he looks around to survey his surroundings. He seems to be standing on a large platform surrounded by water. He looks down at himself and notices he's in his pajamas with no shoes on. He looks up again and barely makes out an island in the distance. He turns around completely and sees a city lit up with lights. The whispers then stop.
"Where am I?" He says
He then looks up and sees a statue, a large one. He takes a couple steps back to see the statue in its entirety. He nears the edge of the platform and looks up again.
"Is that Avatar Aang?" He says out loud
He realizes that he's in Republic City but he's still confused as to why. The whispers returned and began to become louder and louder. He begins to question himself.
"What's going on?"
"Why am In Republic City?"
"What are these whispers?"
The whispers cease.
"What's happening to me?"
"I can tell you." A deep voice replies
He turns around to see a silhouette of a man shaded by the darkness.
"Who are you?" He says
"I am you." the silhouette replies
"We are all you." As 2 other voices shout out.
There are now 3 silhouettes and 2 of them appear to be human but the 3rd resembles that of a spirit.
"Who are you 3?" The boy says with a fearful tone
"In time you shall know" the silhouettes speak in unison and slowly fade out.
"No, wait!" he cries out
The silhouettes disappear and he turns around only to see that the city lights are gone and only dark, lifeless buildings remain. He turns again and sees that the island is slowly sinking. He then looks down and notices the water rising. He tries to climb the foot of Aang's statue to no avail. The water continues to rise until it is at his feet. He begins to scream.
"HELP ME, SOMEONE HELP! I'M GONNA DROWN!"
The water rises more and more until it is at his neck. He looks up one more time at Aang's statue to see that the tattoos on the statue and the eyes are glowing. He seems to forget that he is about to be submerged in water and stares at the statue. The water soon covers him and as he sinks he keeps his eyes focused on the statue. His eyes then close as he begins to lose consciousness.
"Edin" a warm tender voice calls out
"Edin"
"Edin" the voice begins to sound more annoyed
"EDIN!" the voice shouts out
Edin woke up in a cold sweat to see the woman standing over him looking directly at him with her amber eyes. It was his mother. She had a smile on her face and was glad to see her step son finally was up. Edin took a second to scan the room to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Are you okay?" his mom asked
"Yeah..." as he looks to the side
She sat down beside him on his bed and looked at him with a cheerful smile.
"Do you want to talk about it?" she says as she scans him
"No I'm fine, thanks anyway"
"Well in that case get ready because breakfast is ready!" she said happily
"Thanks, I'll be down in a minute"
She gave him a quick smile and walked out of his room.
"What happened?" he says to himself
I ended the chapter here I know it wasn't that long and I'll try and make it longer. I apologize for the lack of description and vagueness but I'm trying to set a tone for the story. And I thought It'd be good if I didn't say the name of the character in the beginning. Again review and please tell me what you think. New Chapter tomorrow hopefully.
