Another one about some of my fav minor characters, Chong and the Nomads :)
The Cave of Two Lovers – Chong
"Don't fall in love with the traveller girl, she'll leave you broken broken hearted." Chong sang; the soft notes of the flute and steady beat of the drum accompanied the group as they meandered towards the river. Chong paused strumming his guitar when he spotted some people in the river. "Hey, river people!" he called out.
"We're not river people," protested a young girl in white wrappings.
"You're not?" Chong screwed up his face in confusion, "Then what kind of people are you?"
"Just, people." Replied a tattooed boy.
"Aren't we all brother," Chong proclaimed.
"Who are you?" stormed over a teenaged boy.
"I'm Chong, and this is my wife Lily," he gestured to the lady on his left, her head wrapped with a turban and secured with a lily. "We're nomads. Happy to go where ever the wind takes us." Chong then performed an impromptu guitar solo, wailing along.
"You guys are nomads? That's great! I'm a nomad." The tattooed boy placed his hand on his chest.
"Hey me too!"
"I'm thinking of ideas, and trying to get us out of here, Moku." Sokka pointedly said. He was standing in front of a giant pile of collapsed rocks; all around the group, towering curved cave walls curled above, trapping them within the belly of the mountain.
"Whoa whoa, wait a minute, we're thinking of ideas." Chong suddenly realised. "Because I've had an idea for like, an hour now."
"Yes, we're all thinking of ideas!" Sokka exploded, looking pretty ridiculous with a bobbing winged-lemur on his head.
"Well, then listen to this, if love is they key out of here, then all we need to do, is play a love song." It made perfect sense, I truly am a genius, Chong thought. Music started to fill the expanse and reverberate of the walls.
They're going to remain lifelong friends, Chong thought, even if we don't see them again. Their life is a lot like ours, they are young and travelling the world, in search for adventure.
"What are you thinking of Chong?" asked Lily.
"Those kids, makes you think a lot about life."
"In what way?"
"They have a purpose, to help the Avatar. Don't you think that we need one? A purpose. True, I love my life, and I love living it with you, but you can only wander around aimlessly for so long Lily."
"You're getting in the way of yourself. You're thinking of the plan rather than the journey."
Chong chuckled at the irony; he had just given that advice to Sokka.
"You're right Lily, we like to go with the wind, go with the flow, going where fate guides us."
And so the group continued to roam the world, in search of… well whatever they were looking for. The group were approached by a Fire Nation playwright, Pu-on Tim, they were happy to give information about their friends and went to go see the edited version after Sozin's comet. After a year, Moku fell in love and decided to settle down, so he left the group. He was later replaced by a wandering soul that went by the name of The Boulder.
sorry kinda dodgey this one, ran out of ideas. Please review, i could really use the critcism. :D
