Book One Chapter One: A girl named Kyoshi

A young girl stood in deep concentration. She had short black hair, jade green eyes, and tanned skin from being in the sun. Before her was a medium sized rock in midair. As the girl moved her hands apart the rock became sand and was blow away by the late winter wind.

"Kyoshi", a female voice called.

"Coming mother", Kyoshi called back. She dusted off her green dress and headed to her house as the sun began to fade.


( In a house. Kyoshi POV)

"Kyoshi stop daydreaming and eat", my mother said strictly, she had brown hair and pale skin, but her eyes were like mine. She was also tall and slim, "I thought you'd try to be more responsible now that you're eleven."

I wasn't really daydreaming. I was thinking about what I had seen on the winter solstice. No time for that now though, I had bigger fish to catch. "Sorry mother, but I have been very responsible lately. I've finished all my chores and haven't got in any trouble", I said as innocently as I could, " I even made breakfast this morning."

"No"

"Why"

"Because I said so"

"But-"

"I don't want to hear it"

"Dad", I cried pleadingly.

"Kyoshi we've already talked about this", said my father. He was a strong man of medium height with black hair like mine but with a little grey, his eyes were brown, and his skin was tanned, " You're not going to travel to Ba Sing Se by yourself."

"I wouldn't travel by myself. Hideaki said he'd be happy to take me", I begged.

"It's not we don't trust Hideaki to get you there safely", he paused to figure out how to word what he was trying to say, "It's just traveling with a merchant isn't very safe nowdays."

"What if there was a bender with him?" I asked hopefully.

"You don't count", my mother said sharply, "Now eat your food."

"Yes mother"


It was now late at night. I got out of bed quietly and put on my coat. I went out my window and around out three room house. I was about to make a break for the woods when I heard my dad's voice. Crud I'm caught.

"Lin, we can't hold her back forever"

Ok, it's just my parents talking about me… I deiced to listen to them.

"We can wait till it's safe", she replied.

"So you're saying we should wait till the Avatar returns and sets everything right", he said sarcastically. For some strange reason that made me want to laugh.

"Imaran", my mother said in a frustrated voice.

"I'm sorry, but that's what you meant even if it was subconsciously."

I decided to leave, it was getting late and I wanted as much time as I could get. I hurried to the woods, then made my way to the cliff that over-looks the bay. The dark night sky glittered with stars and a bright crescent moon. The sound of waves hitting the shore and a cool breeze blowing was calming. Now that I thought about it was like this on the winter solstice… well it was colder then.

Just then something jumped on me and started licking my face. "Hey, Shin stop!", I laughed at the small spotted wolf cub. About a year ago I had helped the mother wolf when she became tangled in an old fishnet. She later would show up at my cliff. I had called her Akuti and her cub Shin.

Akuti came over and sat by me, while I began a game of fetch with Shin. After an hour or two I said goodbye to the spotted wolf and her cub. Then I headed home to get some rest.
