A/N: Alright, first of all I'm a newbie to all of this and I just recently finished watching all of the episode of it. Still, I'm not sure if I'll get the personality right but I hope I'd do the best for this book! :D Half of the legend explanation is at Wattpad ;P but no worries, I will explain all about the legend for the girl in this story.
It wasn't easy, it was never easy.
Being a guardian to place which is a whole world, needed to protect the innocent and change the evils.
People knew about me but they never seen me exist, some think I'm just a myth.
Some think I'm real although they never see me, I'm glad they do. I kept myself as a new identity, a look where people just think I'm a normal girl. More than that had finally return, they think I'm mute, I was never mute. But I keep it that way, no people will know the real me. I hid my own look, some people might recognize but majority doesn't know the way I look.
I was known as Gynreida'ne in legend but for now it's different.
My name is going to be Amy.
Amy's POV
Another day in my life, another boring day, not helping to increase my mood at all. I let out a loud sigh and kept walking in the forest, I end up in front of a lake. I sighed once again, I guess nothing else fun than doing some Waterbending here. I took a deep breath and exhale, I raised both of my arms up slowly, the water from the lake raised up in the air. I spun 360 degrees causing the water to spin around me, I throw my arms in the air and the water raised upper into the air and explodes. Drops fell from the sky, kind of like a rain,
"Still bored", I sighed.
I keep walking around the forest until I heard voices, I ran to find the voice, I find out a village. I think about it for a while, should I enter it or not? I raised my right hand and a small notebook drop out of the air, I grab it and tied it on my belt.
I walked into the village, I look around the village, it was fine but not so inviting for me. I decided to get some food, I stop at a shop. I look at fish and sighs, at least better than nothing, the shop owner came,
"What kind of fish would you like young lady?", he asked.
I look at the fishes, I pointed at a random fish, "How many would you like?"
I showed two finger at him, he nodded and took two fish. He went wrapping it up and came back,
"You seem quiet, where is your parents?"
I shook my head and took the fish, I gave him few gold coins, he looked at my in shock, "The fish doesn't cost this much"
I shook my head and wave while walking away, I'd like to help them. It was my job to keep them happy too, I kept the fish in my bag and keep walking around. A man walking around while pushing his groceries stall around,
"Get your fresh groceries here!", he shouts.
I came to him, "Would you like to buy some groceries?", he asked me while grinning, he looked like no one has ever bought his groceries. I look at the groceries, it was fresh none of it is rotten, I wondered why people never bought it.
I pointed at the grapes, he took the grapes and wrap it up, "Thank you for buying it"
I took the grapes and gave him 5 gold coins, he look at me with his jaws dropped, "Uh the grapes only cost copper coins not gold"
I smiled and just walked away, he stuttered while looking at me in shock, I sigh and just keep walking. Next stop, I need to find a shelter but where would I found one? I stopped walking and look around, does the village even have any place where I could rent to live?
"Hmm..", I said to myself while looking around.
I decided to just keep walking, I ate some grapes while walking to find a shelter. I walk around the village until I already ate all of my grapes, I sighed and look at the people. I shouldn't be bothering their life,they already had a perfect life, I shouldn't interfere in..
"Well look who it is", I turn my head towards the voice, the same man with the groceries stall came next to me.
"You're my first customer who's kind enough to give me gold coins"
I just smiled, "Who are you looking for?", he asked.
I look at the ground and then back to him, I just shook my head, "No one?", he look at me in confusion.
I nodded, "Then where's your home?"
I shook my head while shrugging, "You don't have any home?"
I shook my head once again as a yes, "Well, you've helped me so much, how about I'll let you stay my house?"
I grinned, I write on the notebook and ripped it, I showed it at him, "Thank you..hmm, are you mute?", he looked at me curiously.
I nod, "Alright, it's not a problem, come follow me to my house"
I smiled and nod once, the sky was starting to get dark too, I wrote on the notebook and ripped it, I showed it at him.
"Where are you? Well you're in Ba Sing Se, the Earth kingdom, what's your name?"
I wrote my name on the back of the note, "So you're Amy? A weird name, are you from around here or far away?"
I don't belong here, I came from the forests. I showed the note to him, he look at me in surprise, "Then where do you get the money?"
I got it from jobs I made before.
"That is interesting, would you like to help me sell groceries tomorrow?"
I smiled and nod, He gave me a shelter, I should return the favor…
A week pass…
I thank the man for letting me stay at his house, it was rather cozy, I always help him to decorate his house. Soon then I heard big news from the palace, a highly respected people are coming to Ba Sing Se. I wondered at went to Huan, the man who let me stay at his house, I found out his name on that very day he was kind enough to let me stay.
Have you heard of the news?, I showed him the note.
He rubbed his chin,"What news? Is there anything happening?"
I hear there are some peoples who's coming at Ba Sing Se.
"Oh really? Where did you heard it?"
I heard the palace guards talking about it.
"Hmm..well, we should get ready to welcome them if we ever meet with them", he smiled.
I nodded and smiled back, "Now Amy, can you help me by buying some fishes for our lunch?"
I smiled and head to the door, "Eh, you forgot the money"
I shook my head and wave it off, I walk out of his house and head to a nearby fish stall. Suddenly, I saw 4 people pass by while chatting, 2 girls and 2 boys, one of them was bald though. I shrug and turn to the fish stall back, right after I bought it I quickly head back to Huan house.
"Thank you, Amy. I'll go make the lunch"
I stopped him, I saw someone that looks like not from Ba Sing Se, I showed him the note.
"Really? How did they look like?"
I don't know, I only saw 2 girls and 2 boys, although one of them are bald.
He nodded, "Alright, you'll go do..well whatever you want, I'm making lunch", he chuckled.
I nodded and head to my room, for all I know Huan's house is in the Middle Ring, so technically I'm free to wander to the Lower Ring even the Upper Ring. I got out of my room and head outside of the house, I took a deep breath of the air and head to the bridge, I rested my arms on the divider and stare at the water. I sat on the divider and stared at the view of the houses.
I sighed and keep looking around, it was such boring day, but then I think again and again. Maybe I should tell Huan that I'm an Earthbender or I shouldn't? But then I can help him a lot with Earthbending, I got off the divider only to bumping into someone. I was about to say sorry but I remembered I have to be mute, I look at the girl who fell on the ground, I frowned.
"Hey, watch where your going!", she shouted, I pulled her up.
"Calm down, Toph. Are you okay?", the other girl in blue outfit looked at me.
I nodded, I wrote on the note, I'm sorry, I didn't saw you were there. She took the note and read it, she looked at me in confusion, "Why did you gave me a note? Why didn't you just say it?"
I shook my head, "What do you mean by that? Can't you speak?", she frowned.
I shook my head, man another life of being a mute girl, "Oh...I'm sorry, I'm Katara, mind introducing yourself in the note?", she smiled.
I'm Amy, nice to meet you both.
"Hi Amy, this is Toph"
I look at Toph, she seems to just glare at the ground, I look at Katara in confusion.
"Um she's blind but she still can see by her Earthbending"
"What? Did I do something weird?", she asked.
No, but she just glare at the ground.
"Um..no but Amy said you were glaring at the ground", Katara said it for me.
"Ugh, it was an accident", she walked away.
"Well..I gotta go, see you next time Amy", Katara waved and walked away with Toph.
As I waved, 3 girls came went passing through them, they said about of worse is Toph and Katara's makeup. I look at them, I tried to held in my laugh as Toph made a hole underneath the three girls causing them to fell into the water under the bridge. Katara then Waterbended the river water and washed the water over them. They laughed at them, I looked at them and smiled, I waved and walked away. I quickly head to Huan's house back, I noticed him just heading to my room.
"Oh there you are, the lunch's ready, come on let's eat"
I nodded and followed him for lunch, I thinked all of over again, I was starting to get tired of not getting to talk to anyone. Maybe I should confesses the truth to Huan, I wrote on my notebook as I finished my lunch, I sticked the note in front of him.
I need to tell you something, it's very important.
"Well alright then, right after we'll clean the bowls and plates"
I nodded and grab the dishes, I helped him wash the dishes. Finally, I washed my hand and head to the living room, Huan came,
"Now what it is that you need to tell me?"
I exhaled, I gave him another note, Just please don't freak out or think I'm a betrayer.
He nodded and looked at me in curious, I took a deep breath and sighed.
"I actually can talk", I said.
He look at me in shock, "T-that's great! Since when did it happen?!"
"Look Huan, I thank you for letting me stay at your house, I needed a shelter, I wasn't mute all this time. I had to act like I was mute"
He raised an eyebrow, "Why would you need to act like you're a mute girl?"
"It's very necessary, do not tell to anyone that I'm not mute"
"I'll keep your secret but may I ask why did you act mute?"
I look at the floor, the truth…there was only one truth, would he actually believe it?
I sighed, "I'm…actually.."
He just waited for the answer, I cut into something related to myself,
"Do you know Legend of Ekrada'ne?", I asked while staring at the floor,
"Why of course! Almost everyone knew, the heir of the legend, Gynreida'ne is the protector of the Earth, she also controls everything exist in the Earth"
"Do you think she's real?"
"As the believer, I believe she is real, I may not see her but I believe that Earth is safe because of her"
I smiled to the ground as I hear that he believes in Gynreida'ne, "Huan, I have a truth of myself, I will only be able to tell you only if you swear to Gynreida'ne that you will never told about my trueself"
He bowed, "I won't but how will I swear to Gynreida'ne?"
"Swear it right now, I'm not being religious but this is necessary"
He nodded and sighed, "I swear that I won't tell anything about yourself to anyone and I swear this to Gynreida'ne"
I nodded, "Thank you, as you know Gynreida'ne is a 13 year old girl right?"
"I didn't know she is"
I sighed and facepalmed, well that's alright, "The truth is.."
I took a deep breath and exhaled, I collected my courage to tell him,
"I am the guardian of the Earth"
He look at me in confused face, "What on Earth you mean? You can't just swear that you're a guardian of the Earth"
"I am Gynreida'ne, I can't thank you enough for your shelter"
He was speechless for a while then, "What proves that your Gynreida'ne? It is wrong to swear that your Gynreida'ne!"
I sighed, "I can prove it to you if you need to"
"Prove then"
I got in my stances, I raised both of my arms, I spread my right arm slowly and then raised my left arm higher. A fire forms in my left palm which is raised high in the air, I spun, fire trails following near my hand. I made a fire ring around me and then moved both of my arms to the left and right. Water trails near my hand as I moved my arms to left and right, I spread both of my arms apart, forming a water ring around the fire ring. I stomped my right foot causing a two feet high rock walls formed in circle around the water ring. Lastly, I spun 360 degrees many times rapidly causing a tornado forms around me, I stopped spinning and stay still the tornado.
"I control all the four elements in Earth, I have proved to you but you will not tell it to anyone that I am Gynreida'ne"
He look at me in shock, "You were the Gynreida'ne? All this time I was with her?"
"I may be Gynreida'ne but I'm also a kid, I'm turning 13 years old this year"
He didn't say anything but looked shocked, "I am honored to be in your presence", he bowed.
I nodded, "Thank you but anyways", I raised both of my arms and then spread them fastly, all of the elements I created disappeared.
"Just treat me like a normal girl", I grinned.
He nodded, "I get it now but I've been wondering that what bothers you from telling them that you're Gynreida'ne?"
"I need to keep myself concealed, not that it matters but I don't want seeing people bowing every second. I am also one of the peoples, though I know that they know how does Gynreida'ne looks like"
He nodded, "They will bow everytime because you are the Guardian of the Earth, am I right?"
"Yep, now about that news, I discovered more. I think hear the Avatar was coming here at Ba Sing Se….again"
His eyes widened in delightful "Really? Are you sure about that?"
"I don't know, I sneaked in and hear the guards conversation again", I grinned.
"That's great then!"
"Yeah, but what's so great? Not that I'm underestimating the Avatar but the reason?"
"Ba Sing Se will be safe, with you and the Avatar here the city will be safe"
I crossed my arms and smirked, "This city is really lucky isn't it?"
He chuckled, "Where do they live though?"
"I don't know, I hear they're living in…the Upper Ring"
"Oh"
"Well we're living in the Middle Ring, we could always go to Upper Ring but still"
"What still? We could introduce you to them"
"For what?"
"Making friends, listen I get it what you from that you don't want people to know you're Gynreida'ne but you should tell. If you were my daughter I would tell you to be yourself, tell them the truth, I know it will be fine"
"Are you sure? How am I gonna do that?", I frowned.
"I will start a conversation as a starter, I'll tell you the whole plan as my news spread to Ba Sing Se"
I sighed and dropped my shoulder, "Okay"
To be continued…
