I do not The Wheel of Time or Avatar: The Last Airbender. If I did, there would be much more Mat!
I'm going to try changing this to 1st person POV, so please review and tell me what you think! Please? I'll give you cookies!
Mat POV:
"Of course. Of bloody course," I said quietly, somewhat resigned. Of course my luck decides to disappear right when I want it.
"Um, how exactly did you guys get here? I mean, you seem to have no clue where you are and know nothing about the world," said the oldest girl. Katara? I think that's her name.
I turned back to Rand and Moiraine. This is their specialty not mine. They use the power, not me. Rand is looking off into the distance moving his mouth like he's talking to himself and Moiraine has her brow furrowed, like she's thinking really hard.
Needless to say, neither of them said anything.
"I'm not really sure." I said slowly, not having any other answer to give them.
Rand suddenly comes out of his trance or whatever it was he was in.
"You said something about being an Avatar before. What does that mean?"
"Seriously? You don't know what the Avatar is?" asked Sokka.
I butt in. "Didn't we just decide that none of us is from around here and know nothing about this world?" Okay, maybe a bit harsh, but who can blame me? I was just told some seriously disturbing life-altering prophecy that I didn't understand, and was sucked into a new world with weird people and no way to get out. Oh yeah, and one of those prophecies said that I have to go to Rhudean to not die, but I can't exactly get there when I'm stuck here. So yeah, I'm not in the best of moods.
"Still seems weird though that you wouldn't recognize the Avatar. I figured everyone knew what the Avatar was."
"Well, we don't," said Moiraine gently, "So could you please explain it?"
Katara nodded and said, "The Avatar is the master of all 4 elements, basically."
I clear my throat and say, "Let's elaborate a bit. What do mean 'master'?"
She looked at me like I was stupid. I bit back the temptation to smile insolently.
"I mean he can bend all four elements."
"Bend?"
"I guess the best way would be to show you." Katara opened the cap off of the water bag she had at her side, and did something with her hands and water flowed around, before she guided it back in.
"So he can channel." I said. I looked at Aang. Then at Rand. Aang didn't look particularly mad. Not as much as Rand. But then again, Rand hadn't seemed mad when he was twelve, though he wasn't channeling when he was twelve either.
"Channel?"
"Bend, I suppose as you put it."
"Yeah, but he can bend all the elements."
Moiraine decided to intervene. Finally. "Water, air, fire, earth, and spirit?"
"No one can bend spirit. He is the bridge to the spirit world, but he can't bend it. Just Fire, water, earth, and air."
"Can most people only bend a couple?" Katara looked at me with extreme patience.
"He is the only person that can bend more than one element."
"Ah," said Moiraine, "Okay. We were a bit confused. Apparently our world is very different from yours. But enough of that. We need to find a way to get back home."
I remembered something. "What about that thing that Rand used to take us to Falme? The one that could travel across different worlds or places or whatever? I mean, it seems like there were would be one somewhere in this world if there were ones in ours."
"A portal stone?"
"Yeah, that's what they were called. I don't relish the idea of having to use one of those, but I'd like to get home."
Moiraine turned and described the look of the portal stone to the children standing there and asked if they'd ever seen anything like it.
They all shook their heads, except for Aang. "I think there's one in the Northern Air Temple. I think I saw something like that once."
"How do we get there?" I asked impatiently.
"You fly."
I blinked a couple times. "How exactly do you expect me to do that?"
"We can take you!" said Aang, full of childish naïveté and innocence. Hard to believe that he was the one that just burst through the bushes ready to fight a couple minutes ago.
The rest of the group nodded and agreed.
Apparently, they had a way to fly there.
A/N Thank you for reading! I really hope this story will get better! I'm trying! I'm not super proud of this writing. It feels very chaotic and all over the place. I hope it's not too hard to read. Maybe I should get someone to beta for me…
Anyhow! Please review! The button feels sad when you don't! Even if you hate the story, I want to hear why. I can't do anything until I know how you feel about it!
And I'm also blatantly aware of how OOC and all over the place this is. As I get into the plot, I'm gonna try and rope that in.
I've wasted enough of your life, so bye!
ILY! :D
