Hello everyone! This is my first fanfiction so I'm sorry if its a bit unprofessional. I would love to hear your feedback, so please review. There will be no inappropriate romance or language. Enjoy!
My name is Elian, and I'm an airbender. I thought I had a normal life but, boy was I wrong! This is my story and I'm gonna show you how I helped restore balance to the world I never knew.
Me, Tiki, and Cosmo were hanging out at the edge of the island I lived on. We had been relaxing and watching the stars and were about to go get some sleep, but before I could start actually walking I got an incredible pain in my stomach. It felt like it was getting twisted into a knot inside. Tears streamed down my face as I hunched over, putting my arms over my stomach. I stumbled backwards as water surrounded us in streams until it became a bubble. The bubble shrunk until it was almost pressing on us, then in one quick movement it pulled us into the lake behind me. With one hand I grabbed Cosmo and held him up against me, with the other I grabbed Tiki's strap. Then I felt the water around me get colder and colder, and then solidify into ice. Then I had a vision of an airbender riding his sky bison through a very heavy storm. The young airbender screamed before a big wave dragged him and his sky bison underwater. He grabbed his bison's strap before his eyes and tattoo's started glowing and he bent the water around him frozen. The boy seemed familiar though I'd never seen him before.
It had been a week since Aang defeated the phoenix king. It was his birthday tomorrow, so he was about to be thirteen. He was on his way to Omashu because Bumi had asked him over for a visit, seeing as how it was his birthday tomorrow. He and Appa were both tired though, so they would have to stop for the night. "How about we find somewhere to sleep for the night, huh buddy?" he said.
Appa answered with one of his typical groans, and ten minutes later they were landing for the night on a small island. Appa laid down in a clearing and Aang fell asleep on his back. In the morning Aang woke up Appa then looked around. That's when he realized how incredibly overgrown the island actually was. It looked like it hadn't been touched for a few decades now. Appa trailed behind Aang as he headed for the edge of the island. When he got to the edge though, he saw something he would never forget. Something that changed his life forever. There was a giant chunk of ice in the middle of the lake. But there, frozen in the ice, were the three things that changed his life. The first and biggest was a sky bison, the smallest a lemur bat, and the one in the middle an airbender. Yes an airbender, he wasn't the last! But it wasn't real, it couldn't be. It was just a dream, like all the others.
"Appa? I'm dreaming...right?" Then Aang bent a bridge of earth and crossed it to the ice. He reached out his hand to touch the ice, but as soon as his fingers brushed the ice his eyes and tattoo's started glowing, along with the eyes and tattoo's of the female airbender, and he floated above the lake, spraying mist over the area. But this time, for the second time in his life, he had full and complete control. Then the symbols of the four nations etched themselves into the ice, centered on where he touched it. Aang lowered himself to the ice, still in the avatar state. Then the ice cracked, cracked a few more times and shattered, turning into water that Aang easily bent away. Then everything calmed down and Aang fell to his knee's, leaving the avatar state. He sat there for a minute before gathering enough strength to get up and go look at the girl, where Appa came up to join him. She looked just like him except for the long, dark brown hair. Even the eyes were a perfect match.
What seemed like a second after the last, I had another vision. It was the same airbender , but this time he was freed from the ice by a waterbender girl and her brother. After asking the girl if she'd go sledding, he shouted "Appa!" and climbed over into the ice he was trapped in. As soon as he was over, I woke up. I slowly opened my eyes and just lay there, letting go of Tiki's strap. I could feel Cosmo laying against me and was relieved to feel his chest rise and lower as he breathed. Then I heard someone talking in the background.
"You think she's ok?" The loud groaning of an animal answered him. Then I sat up but it was hard, I felt like my arms had no strength to them. I looked around. My island was overgrown, like way overgrown. 'How long was I frozen?' I thought. Then I noticed the one who talked. He was an airbender, and he had a pretty big sky bison with him. Last of all, he was staring straight at me.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah." I answed.
"I'm Aang." He said, holding his hand out.
"Yeah." I said again, letting him help me up. I was holding Cosmo and could tell he was just as confused as I was as his long black fur ruffled in the breeze. Then I slowly walked over to Tiki.
"Tiki? C'mon girl." I said, shaking her as much as I could. I pushed against her side with all the strength I had and called to her again.
"Tiki?" She stirred and moaned softly, and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Is everyone ok?" Aang asked.
"Yeah, I think so. What happened?" I asked.
"Not sure. You sure you're ok? You don't look so good." He said.
'Am I ok?!' I thought. 'No, why in the fudge would I be ok?! I have no idea what's going on, I'm sore everywhere, and not to mention I'm starving! I am not ok.' I calmed myself down and simply answered him "I don't know."
"Come with me, I can get some help." Said Aang.
"No, no, I just...oh, I don't even know where to start. I have no idea what's going on, and I need to figure out something. I have no idea how long it's been, and I've got to find something to feed them with-" I said, gesturing to Tiki and Cosmo. "-in this mess of an island. And- "
"Whoa, whoa, slow down. You sure you don't need any help?" He asked again.
"No, I don't, I mean, I'm fine, I mean, I can handle it. Oh, I'm so sorry, I just-" I sighed in defeat and looked down. "I-"
"Come with me, I've got someone I want you to meet." Said Aang.
So I got on Tiki and told her, "Follow him ok?" She responded with a soft groan. Then me and Aang shouted at the same time. "Yip-Yip!"
We looked at each other and laughed a bit before setting off.
Despite it being an almost hour long trip, we didn't really talk. But somehow I felt like I could trust him.
"Here we are, Omashu City!" Said Aang excitedly. He seemed happy to not be alone.
"So where are we going exactly?" I asked.
"The palace." He responded.
"The palace? You know someone at the palace?" I asked.
"You'll see." He said with a smile.
So, what do you think? I think I like how it turned out, but I'd really like to hear what you thought about it, so please add in that review. Stay tuned if you enjoyed it, because I'm planning the next one.
