HI. My name is Keita. I'm 214 years old and I was born into the Air nomads. I'm the same age as Aang, the great Avatar, and my best friend. I'm an Avatar too. I didn't understand how me and Aang could both be Avatars, but somehow we are. We grew up together and we were both taught air from the same master, Monk Keyotso. When he ran away, I went looking for him, with my Bison, Ku Ming. We had no luck. When I came back home, in tears, we found his letter.

Dear friends,

I'm sorry but I cant take it anymore. I don't have what it takes to be the Avatar. I'll be back soon, maybe. I'm sorry Monk Keyotso, and all my other instructors. And my best friend, Keita. I wish you all the best.

-Aang

P.S. Keita, if you ever need me, for anything, just close your eyes, Ill be there.

I was in shock. So was everyone else. He seemed fine last night! Why would he leave? Doesn't he understand we need him? I was the only other Avatar at that time, so my responsibilities were pushed to the Max. Immediately I had to start training double-time.

So one day, I was on a short break with Ku Ming. I was enjoying some Peach Mango Juice and Ku Ming was laying down in the shade under a large tree in front of the house I was assigned. Just like Aang, I couldn't have a family. It really brought me down at times, but than I realized my responsibility to the world, especially with Aang gone.

Anyways, I was relaxing, than all of a sudden, a huge flame ball came out of nowhere, barely missing Ku ming! I hushed him, and grabed my glider. I quickly hoped on and rode to tell Monk Keyotso and the other Monks. They quickly gathered the armies, and any other Men they could get.

"Keita I must have a guard with you at all times!"

"I can take care of myself!"

"Please Keita! With Aang gone, your our only hope to bring peace to the world! Go now!"

Monk Keyotso shooed me off with Linking, another Airbender a few years older than me. We quickly ran off into the woods. Looking back on last time, our village, the place I grew up, was being eaten by flames.

"Keita we need to leave"

A voice broke my thoughts and we kept going. I was crying, for this was when I was 10. I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me which still wasn't very fast. Eventually we were far enough away and it was near dark.

"We should find some place to rest. Ill look for firewood and shelter. Can you clear some land so we can make a tent?"

I nodded and with a few swift movements, air shot through my hands, and we had a small area to camp. Liking made a fire and we couldn't find any food, so we were both very hungry

"So what do we do now?"

"Tomorrow I guess we will go back and see what happened"

"Oh okay"

"But Keita, don't be so surprised when you find out what happened"

"What do you mean?"

"Its kind of obvious. Our village is probably destroyed."

"Don't say that! You, you cant prove anything, yet."

"Okay okay calm down. I'm just letting you know, this might be our permanent home for a while"

"Okay whatever. Think whatever you want to think. I'm going to bed"

I stormed off. What is with him? He is so annoying! He always thinks he knows everything! He doesn't. Anyways, after that, I quickly drifted off into a deep sleep. Thinking about what's to come.
