"AHHHHHH", I'm yelling as I'm being tossed and dragged around like a rag doll. My head's pounding away like someone's beating on it with a hammer. Then, suddenly, it stops.


A/N:Italics mean thoughts.Enjoy!


I open my eyes, not even realizing that I had closed them. I notice that I'm sitting on some grass in the middle of nowhere.How the crap did I get here?

I get up, turn around, and nearly scream. There's people standing there! Just staring at me!

"Who are you?", I try to say like I'm not afraid. "Wait. Roku?"

Roku stepped forward. "Yes, it is me, and some others who you should recognize."

I looked around and saw other people, or should Isay spirits, from Avatar:The Last Airbender which was probably my favorite TV show. I saw Agni, Tui and La, and what I assume to be the earth and air spirits, but-

"Roku, who's that?", I ask pointing to a particular person standing off to the side.

"That is someone who I expected you not to know," he said while motioning for the woman to come towards us. "This is Anju. She was the Guardian during my time as the Avatar."

"What's the Guardian?", I ask curiously.

"The Guardian is the protector of the Avatar and master of two elements, the native element of the past Avatar and the native element of the present Avatar," Roku said wisely.

This must be some dream I'm having. I've never invented another character in my dreams before.I turned and looked at Guardian Anju. "Nice to meet you," I said. Turning back to Roku I said,"So why am I here Roku? And where is here, exactly?"

"We are in the Spirit World, and we all have a task for you," Roku said.

"What would that be?" I asked nervously.

"We need you to be the next Guardian," Anju said flatly.

I just stared. And looked back and forth between Roku and Anju. "What?" I asked softly, not believing what I was hearing.

Anju said, "We brought you from your world to the Spirit World. We want to send you to the material world in our universe so that you may help the Avatar in his journey and protect him." Anju carefully looked at me and then decided to say, "We need you to be his Guardian."

"Please tell me this is a dream. I've never dreamed this vividly before," I said almost like I was begging.

"This is no dream. We need you," Roku said gently.

"And HOW exactly do you expect me to do that?" I practically roared. "I'm not a bender and there's so many other people who are in your world that you could choose from! You just tore me away from my family, my friends, and my whole world! What am I supposed to do?!"

"Because we cannot trust anybody born in the Fire Nation with this kind of power," Anju answered forcefully. "We need you because you are outside of this war and have enough heart for the task."

Everything was silent. Everyone's eyes were on me and I could feel the tension and desperation in the air. "I'll do it." Everyone looked relieved. "But, I need to have all of my questions answered before I go to the Avatar universe," I said.

"We have to hurry. I am sorry. You will be able to contact us at a different time, but we have to begin the process." Roku said hurriedly.

"Fine," I said grumpily.

Someone from the crowd walked towards me.So this must be Agni.She put one thumb on my forehead and the other on my chest as her eyes glowed red. It felt like fire started running through my veins and I felt soalivein that moment. Then, Agni pulled back, leaving me in shock. I hurriedly bowed and she walked back.

Then, someone floated, for lack of a better word, over to me. He did the same thing as Agni but his eyes glowed white. Instead of feeling like fire was flowing through my veins, I feltfree.More free than I ever felt before. I felt so light on my feet and felt like I could do anything. Before I knew it, the spirit of air I assume, pulled back and went back to the crowd. I bowed to him while he was leaving.

Anju stepped in front of me. "I want to explain my gift to you. What you will receive is somewhat akin to the Avatar Spirit. I am going to give you the Guardian Spirit. This will allow you to communicate with all of the Guardians before you and enter the Guardian State. Are you ready?"

I nodded and tried to somewhat prepare myself for whatever was about to come. I hoped my face was somewhat neutral instead of plainly showing all the fear that was coursing through me. Anju put her thumbs on the center of my forehead and chest as her eyes glowed. Then, my eyes started to glow too, and I felt purepowerflow through me. It felt incredible. I knew and felt all of the pastincarnations of the Guardian as all of their strength run through me. Then, she stepped back and both of our eyes stopped glowing as the flow of power gradually stopped.

Anju smiled at me and said, "It is time for you to begin your journey young Guardian." And with that, all of the spirits gathered around me. Their eyes glowed and they sent their hands down at the same for me, I was falling faster and faster until I hit water.
