Kody and I sprinted as fast as we possibly could down the stairs and out the door. My drunk dad came stumbling after us, only to pass out on the porch. We sighed in relief before turning the corner and going at a walking pace to Kody's house.
"How can we manage to get your dad that pissed? I thought he liked chocolate." I shrugged as we caught our breaths. "I swear, everyday he gets even worse," I said. "Especially the little things." He looked at me for a second.
"I still thought he liked chocolate." I shrugged again.
"His doctor told him to stop eating it. Now whenever anyone mentions it he freaks and throws things like he did today." I looked at him. "That's when you came to save the day."
By now, we were walking up the driveway and into the garage. We headed to the livingroom after walking in the door. "Mom, I'm home with Xe!" Kody yelled. It echoed through the house and we heard a distant, "Alright." We then turned on the tv and watched Avatar the Last Airbender.
"Re-run," I said as the very first episode played on. "Sometimes, I just want to get lost in that world. It's better that here anyway," I ranted. Kody put a reassuring hand on my thigh. "Well, if you ever go thereā¦" He jumped onto his couch and grabbed my hand in exaggeration. "TAKE ME WITH YOU!" he yelled dramatically. I laughed before all of the power went out.
"DUDE!" we screamed. At this time, it was at least 7 at night and it was full on dark outside. "Xesa, stay where you are!" he said. I turned toward the voice and glared at the darkness. "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON!" I yelled. "Wait, don't answer that."
Suddenly, the TV screen turned on with little sparks coming out of it. "You must aid the Avatar in his quest to seek peace with the nations," an uber familiar voice said. The screen showed a figure that looked a lot like who we had just seen on TV. "Avatar R-R-Roku?" I stuttered. That was a huge habit of mine. That and rambling. But I only do the two when I was scared. "Yes, Xesa," Roku said with a chuckle. "You and Kody must help the Avatar in his quest." Holy Crap! ROKU KNOWS MY NAME!
"Once you get there," he continued. "you both would be gifted with an element. Xesa, you will be known as the Second Avatar. You will bend all four elements. Kody, you will be a great swordsman."
"So you're bsically saying that she will be another Avatar, and I'll be another Sokka," Kody said. Roku laughed a hardy one.
"Not exactly, Kody, you will bend one element and be a great swordsman." Kody thought for a second. "That actually makes sense," he finally said.
Roku laughed. "Now, Xesa, I must warn you. As you go through, you will feel a burning sensation. When you do, it means that your new arrows are being made. The color of your fire will be different from what you have seen." Now that confused me. "I wish you both good luck, and remember Xesa, I will always be with you." And with that, he grabbed us with his giant hands and pulled us into the TV screen.
