Hello! So, I'm redoing the first two chapters cause a thought of a more interesting way to introduce my own character, so sorry for the inconvenience. And does anyone know how to do the line thing on the mobile app? It would help extremely!
Monk Ganzehn hurried me deeper into the temple. We could hear the sounds of fire nation soldiers fighting the monks who lived in this sacred temple, in my home. And it was being destroyed by fire benders! It's been years since my brother was last seen, why attack now?!
"We must hurry, Jewel! Aang will return and he will need your help!" Monk Ganzehn said, dragging me past halls and rooms that were extremely familiar. I knew where we were going, but I desperately wanted to help fight. It's what I was trained for!
"But why can't I stay and fight?"
"As I said before, Aang will need you whether or not he realizes it!"
"But I was trained for this, Monk Ganzehn!" I argued. Why did he have to be so stubborn?!
The monk stopped and turned to face me.
"Jewel!" He said harshly. "You were trained to help the avatar and only the avatar! Now come, we need to put you in a spirit trance. You will only wake up when Aang or another avatar comes." And with that, we proceeded to the statue hall.
Monk Ganzehn had told me to sit lotus style, and then started chanting in an unfamiliar language. I had been taught most languages as part of my lessons, so this came as a surprise. The air benders still had their secrets, some of which would be lost forever after they had all died.
After a few seconds of Ganzehn chanting, I began to feel extremely tired but I tried to fight it off. Tried being the operative word.
The world went dark as I fell into a deep sleep, the last thing I heard being: "sleep well, and good luck, my Jewel"
