Finding out he was gone was like getting punched in the gut. For a minute there, Jinora couldn't breathe.
He'd always seemed so untouchable by harm, Kai with his floppy hair, his mischievous smile, and his confident swagger. He could steal the pants off of an Earth Kingdom noble and have them thank him before they even realized what had happened. He was her best student, the one who took to Airbending like a duck to water… and she didn't know where he was, if he was okay, if he was alive…
And he was gone.
It didn't seem possible.
