She wandered through the streets of Omashu not sure of where to go. Lost in deep thought Hera walked on then unexpectedly she tripped and found herself crashing into a cabbage cart.

"My cabbages! You're going to pay for this" the cabbage merchant threatened.

Some solders came to see what all the commotion was about.

"A cabbage please? "Hera asked meekly.


As the guards entered with the cabbage merchant and a young girl King Bumi looked at the people in front of him, his eyes rested on the solemn girl with a headband and an unusual eye colour, grey.

"This young one was arrested for malicious destruction of cabbages" the guard explained.

Beside him the cabbage merchant was fuming, the guards were awaiting orders while the girl was just watching silently.

"Hmm, lead her to a guest chamber" the king decided.

The cabbage merchant face palmed while the girl raised one of her eyebrows.


After a while Bumi found the room he was looking for and he earthbended a door. He found the girl sitting near a window looking out.

"Nice view, isn't it?" Bumi said.

Hera just nodded.

"So tell me, where are you from?" he asked.

"Not sure" Hera muttered.

"Can we higher the volume?" Bumi said slightly annoyed at her quietness, he knew when he was her age he wouldn't be able to keep serious and quiet for such a long time.

"I don't remember" she admitted.

That earned her a slightly surprised look.

"Now that's something you don't find every day" Bumi acknowledged "How much do you don't remember?"

"Almost all of my life before the last three days" she told him sadly.

They sat in silence for a few minutes then Bumi broke the silence.

"Well then we'll just have to do something about it" then he smiled, "It's settled you can live here since you have nowhere to go"

This time he earned a very surprised and grateful look from Hera.

Bumi chuckled softly at that and asked.

"Now what's your name?"

"Hera" she replied fiddling with a stray lock of black hair.

"Well thank the spirits you at least remember your name" Bumi said cheerfully.

"Actually I don't, Hera isn't my real name" she sighed.
