The Other Avatar
chapter one: after ozai
book 1: fire
The sun was setting over Mount Lee. Clouds were invisible. Stars were sytarting to show in the evening sky. It was time for Akemi to keep goingon her quest. Her search for Ba Sing Se. Where the Avatar, Aang, was residing.
It was sticky and hot. There was a flame burning in her lungs. Her breathing was ragged. She was muddy with twigs in her tussled hair. She looked a mess. She felt a mess. She was a mess.
Noises sounded in the bushes behind her. She knew it was just some sort of rabbit deer or a Fire Nation spy. With a flick of her fingers, the bush was of fire and a scream emitted from it. A human scream. They had been burned by her painful flames, but she didn't care. It wasn't her fault they followed her.
Or maybe it was.
For miles she trekked barefooted along forest trails, looking for the remains of the great walls of Ba Sing Se.
For days she walked, lookoing for the place ahe needed.
And after seven nights and seven days, she reached the remains. The few leftovers of what once protected the great city.
"Avatar Aang, here I come," she muttered, settingup camp under some rubble that formed a rock-tent. And for the first time in seven days and seven nights, she slept.
