Aang stared out into the ocean, his gray eyes emotionless. A month had passed since the defeat of the fire lord, a month since Aang confronted his destiny and saved the world. But at what price did he pay? It was almost unbearable for him to even remember.
The airbender turned his head, hearing approaching footsteps. A short old man, dressed in earth kingdom clothing, walking towards the boy. His eyes were closed, and his head slowly bobbed as he hummed a pleasant tune.
The old mans eyes
open, and an expression of surprise came over his face.
"Why,
hello there." He said, waving to Aang.
"Hi." The young
avatar said, waving weakly to the man.
"Names Jin, whats yours?"
Jin asked, leaning against his cane.
"I'm Aang."
"Aang, now there's a name I've heard before. You're the avatar, aint cha?" Jin asked.
Aang looked uncertain before nodding. He hated being refered to as the Avatar. Why couldn't people treat him like a normal person, a kid?
"Its sure a pleasure to meet you Aang, a great honor." Jin said, bowing to Aang. The Avatar smiled, bowing from the waist down as well.
"Nice to meet you too."
"I want to thank you young Avatar, for saving the world. We all thought you were gone, that we were doomed to the fire nation. You gave us hope, and you saved us all." Jin said. Aang blushed slightly, not believing that he deserved the praise.
"Thanks." He replied.
"So tell me, how did you defeat the fire lord? What gave you the courage to face your greatest fears, the determination to confront your destiny, the strength to keep going, even when you were weak?"
Aang looked up, smiling. His gray eyes glistened with tears as he spoke;
"Her name was Katara."
