The palace was beautiful. It had gold and emerald colors everywhere. Inside there were statues of bears and badgermoles lined up against the walls of the entrance. A young girl played with her own badgermole in the court behind the palace. This was a playground for all of the children in the upper ring.

"Haha, I bet you can't get it, Mimi." the girl said tauntingly as she played with a giant frisbee. The beast growled, taking on the challenge.

Some other children from the upper ring of Ba Sing Se ran into the court.

"Hey Cho, Ming, DeeDee!" the brown haired girl with the badgermole said.

"Hey Gia..." Cho said warily.

"Do you guys wanna have a pro-bending tournament? I know we are all earth benders but I figured we could switch up the rules." Gia asked in one breath.

"Sorry but our parents said we can't play with you anymore." DeeDee replied looking down at her toes.

"Well, that's ridiculous! Why not?" Gia exclaimed.

"'Cause you're the princess and if you got hurt, we would get in trouble." Ming answered.

"Well that's just-" Gia began to say as she was cut off by her mother.

"Gia, come inside there's someone here to see you." she said to her daughter.

"Ok, Mom! This isn't over!" Gia said to the other children as she hopped onto Mimi and road inside.

As Gia followed her mother into her father's office, she saw 4 people who she recognized from the television, sitting on pillows. One of them was Jinora, the granddaughter of Avatar Aang. Another was Eska, the leader of the Northern Water Tribe. Firelord Iroh sat next to Jinora on the far left. The last man was someone by who was good friends with Avatar Korra, his name was Bolin. His old green eyes looked into Gia's brown eyes like he was looking at an old friend. In fact, all of the people sitting on the pillows had some sort of affiliation with an Avatar or two. As Gia came to a full stop in front of them, they all stood and bowed towards her.

"Hello Gia." Bolin said, his eyes never leaving her face.

"Um, hi." Gia replied sheepishly.

"We have been keeping a close eye on you." Jinora said in a somewhat creepy manner. A girl stood behind her, who Gia didn't recognize. Jinora noticed Gia looking at the girl and broke the tension.

"This is my daughter, Avira. She will be your teacher." Jinora said."What do you mean my teacher?" Gia said confused.

"Well, we believe that you are the Avatar." Bolin said blatantly. Gia's eyes became huge, filled with fear.

"I-I can't be the Avatar. I-I'm just Gia." she said nervously.

"You are the Avatar. The first element you will learn is air. It is the opposite of your natural element and the hardest for you to master." Firelord Iroh said.

Gia ran out of the room in a panic. She ran to Mimi who was playing with another creature. It was a small flying bison.

"Gia!" Gia's mother called after her. Gia stopped looking up at her mother, still panicked. "Just give it a chance you can do it. Bolin is going to show you a few earthbending tricks. Okay?" the woman said while she pushed her daughters hair out of her face.

"Okay Mom..." Gia said while she calmed down.

Bolin was a tall and broad man with graying hair. His green eyes seemed like they determined his emotions. They were bright when he was happy and dark when determined. At the moment, they were dark as he was determined to teach Gia.

"The first thing I want to teach you is the ability to hone in on your seismic sense. Close your eyes." Bolin said to the girl. She did as he said. She was still tense from the meeting before this. "Now, can you tell me where everything in this room is by just feeling the ground." Bolin asked.

"The green vase is to the left, the bust of my grandpa is to the right, you are next to the vase, and Avira is behind the door." Gia said to Bolin. Everything she said was right, including Avira being behind the door.

"Excellent! The next thing I'm going to teach you is how to make quicksand. It is somewhat advanced but I know you already have some earthbending training. The first thing you do is concentrate on the ground and imagine changing the grain size of the ground. Now stand firmly on the ground and twist your hands." Bolin explained, doing the motions he while he explained them. Gia tried to do the move but she couldn't and became frustrated. She tried again and again but still couldn't do it.

"Ugh, this is stupid!" Gia shrieked as she ran out of the room. She found Mimi napping outside the door. After waking her up she hopped on to her. "C'mon Mimi." Gia said with tears running down her face. The badgermole growled as it leaped outside towards the bright sunset.

"Gia wait!" a voice shouted from the doors. It was Avira. The girl had short hair and dark skin.

"Avira, I can't do this. I'm sorry, I just can't." Gia wept.

"I know, I understand how hard this must be. That's why I'm coming with you." Avira said. She had a small smile on her face. The flying bison that was playing with Mimi trotted up to her. It licked her face. "That is me and Sophi." she giggled.

"Why? You don't even know me." Gia asked.

"Because if you really are the Avatar, you're going to need a teacher. Plus, I feel like I need to escape my mother. She always talk about how I'm going to get my arrows before she did. I don't think I'm going to be able to achieve that. I'm not as strong as her." Avira explained.

"Okay, so let's go. I'll take Mimi underground. You take Sophi above ground." Gia said. And they were off. Jinora and Gia's mother ran out after them.

"Girls!" Jinora shouted.

"We have to get them!" Gia's mother exclaimed nervously to Jinora.

"Let them go." Bolin said from behind them.

"What do you mean?" Jinora asked Bolin.

"This is how she will learn the elements and except her true destiny as the Avatar." he said as he watched Avira fly towards the sunset.

"I'm still sending the Dai Li after them, they can keep and eye on the girls." Gia's mother said as she prayed her daughter would be safe.
