Thanks for the one review. I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender. If I did... I'd still be in the Air Force anyways. I'd just have more money.
THE NEXT MORNING, Suki saw a familiar sight that she had seen through out her daughter's life; she woke up seeing Kali waiting on her to get up.
"I thought you grew out of this." She commented while turning over.
The Avatar stood there, "Mother, I have no clue how to begin this journey, and Aunt Katara won't tell me who to ask to become my next teachers."
Suki sighed, and sat up. She always wondered if she complained as much at Kali's age, but then remembered that she couldn't. Kali had decided to not train with the Kyoshi warriors, saying that her bending would over power them. The recent captain, Koko, also recommended that the girl wouldn't train because of her lack of patience.
Luckily though, Katara had decided to stay on the island. Imagining her short tempered girl in the South Pole wasn't a delightful thought.
"Come, I'm going to show you a place that may give you a path to follow." She said, putting blue robes on.
They followed a path towards Avatar Kyoshi's shrine. The day was perfect too, for meditating. The wind was calm and the sun wasn't beating down on them early in the morning.
Suki stopped before entering, "Now, we're going to try to relax and empty our minds. I can't promise it'll work, but it will be worth trying."
Kali nodded and followed her mother in. They stopped in front of the Sunrise painting, and Suki breathed out.
"I'm not exactly sure how to start this."
Kali frowned, "How are we going to start then?"
The older woman paused, "I guess I could go get Katara-"
"No, I don't want to listen to her speeches. She lectures about the same things over and over. She might as well be Aunt Bore-me-to-death." Kali spoke with a harsh tone.
"How about Aunt One-who-can't-seem-to-relax-and-have-fun?" Suki laughed until seeing that her joke wasn't funny, "No?"
"Yeah mom, you killed the joke again."
Suki frowned. Her jokes didn't get better with age.
Although Katara was better at the 'bending and Avatar' stuff, getting Kali to relax wasn't easy with the waterbender around. Suki sat, crossing her legs. Kali followed.
"Alright," she started, "We, somehow, have to clear our minds."
"So we're thinking of nothing?" Kali asked, unsure of what to do to clear her mind.
"Yeah." Suki hesitated, "Um, should we focus on breathing?"
"Mom, I'm just following your lead."
Suki continued to lead her daughter with focusing on the breathing. Ten minutes when by and nothing happened. Suki turned to look at the Avatar and opened her mouth to say something. In an instant, Kali was in the Avatar state.
"Wow, I didn't think the breathing would really work." Suki said out loud.
WHEN SHE opened her eyes, Kali knew she wasn't on Kyoshi Island. The land was too swampy and brown. She decided to walk through less thick areas hoping someone would help her with being the Avatar. It didn't take long.
A man about her age appeared out of no where. He was wearing a long golden robe with some kind of amulet with symbols that seemed familiar. The blue arrow on his head seemed to be the only color shining.
"You've call for help?" the man asked with a smile.
Kali reacted with pulling water up, except the water never came. Horror filled her face.
"You're fine. I was the same way the first time I tried. It is normal." The man smiled.
Kali looked at the man, "Who are you?"
"You mean you don't know?" the man continued to carry a smile, "I'm your previous life, and well your uncle; I'm Avatar Aang. Funny story goes along with that."
"Alright, just tell me how to find my other teachers." She snapped.
Aang frowned, "I can't tell you how to find them. You just have to know. Listen to friends' advice. That will help guide you."
He straightened up a bit, "But fore warn; the phoenix is flying. Do not follow it. It will only lead to destruction. That is you destiny whether you decide to stop it or join it. As for learning airbending; there are scrolls that I left in the Southern Air Temple. They are not all complete, but will help you, at least until, I can't really say now."
Kali was already bored with the one sided conversation.
"How about bloodbending? How can I learn that?" she asked, hoping he knew.
"You want to learn bloodbending?"
She nodded, "Yes. That's the only form of waterbending I wasn't taught."
The impatient Avatar; you were warned of what would happen before trying to step back into my library. The last warning he was given before his death. Avatar Aang frowned.
"Young Avatar, you were not taught bloodbending for the fact that you are impatient and selfish. If you don't learn patience, you will fail. If you don't learn charity, you will fail. This is my first and last lesson on this you will receive. If you do not, the Avatar will not continue to be in this world." His frown changed to a smile, "can you let Katara know I miss her?"
Kali nodded not pleased that she'd have to talk with her aunt before she leaves.
Soon after Kali left, someone approach Aang and put a hand on his shoulder.
"You owe me a ghost ride on Appa."
"Ok Sokka. You were right about her being the one Wa Shi Tong spoke of." The airbender frowned, and his friend ran off to claim his winnings.
KALI RETURNED to the shrine, angry that the previous Avatar gave her nothing to work with. Turning to her mother, who was now taking a cat nap, the Avatar stood.
"Mother, I'm done."
Suki shook awake, not expecting her daughter to return so quickly.
"So what did he say?" she asked, getting up.
The two women walked back to their hut as Kali told what had happened.
