"Higher! Higher, Kiara!", My father yelled, and I kicked my leg higher, sending a column of flame into the sky. Ever since Zuko went missing, we've been moving towards the Southern Water Tribe. My father wanted to keep Mako, Ty Lee and I out of the Fire Lord's creepy watch, so we've been traveling as refugees ever since.
Well, technically, we are.
Ty Lee joined the circus a year ago, and my father had been harder with the training. Every day, three times a day, I'm pretty much training all day. But I don't care. I am safe.
No,
I wassafe.
It was about three years after Zuko and Uncle Iroh went missing, and we were training as usual. My father was crazy about how weak my bending with my legs were, so he would spend most of the time on that. Now, he was testing me.
I watched as the fire circled my legs, and felt the warm tingly feeling of the fire. We'd discovered during the first six months of training that I was fireproof. Cool, I know. Like, imagine being fireproof.
Azula can't touch this. Mako and I were singing that all day when we found out. It went a little like this:
Der der-der-der na na,
'Zula can't touch this.
We sand that every time we travelled, and we stopped after my father threw a frying pan at my head, and missed, breaking a jar of tea, which prompted a melodramatic 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!' from me.
Anyway, we were training as usual. It turns out the earrings my mother left for me actually increased the amount of energy you drew from the sun, so I was stronger at night that normal benders.
Again, Azula can't touch this.
I was throwing fire at my father, and I whooped when his shirt caught alight. He tore it off and jumped on it, making me laugh. "Got you!", I yelled, and he smiled.
Then the smile faltered, and he pushed me behind a bush. "Stay down, and run once they're gone!", He hissed, and I hid myself underneath the bush as General Zhao walked in, flanked by firebenders.
"Well, look who we have here.", Zhao smirked, and my father growled. "The Dragon of the North, Aki." Wait,Dragon!?
"Be careful where you tread, General.", My father threatened, and Zhao laughed.
"I ask for nothing more but an answer to a question of the Fire Lord's.", He lifted his hands up, and I glared at him. "Where is your daughter?"
"Why would I tell you that?", My father replied, and Zhao growled.
"Answer me, or I'll burn down your house and the village.", He yelled, hand lighting up. "You don't want things to get messy, do you?"
My father sighed, and I felt my eyes water. I'd do anything to help the earthbenders in the nearby town, Ai. My father was a common sight there when he was young, so they accepted us as normal Earth Kingdom people when they saw my father's face. My father looked up, and met Zhao's gaze. "Go to hell.", He spat at the General's feet, and all hell broke loose.
The bushes, plants and house all went up in flame, and I held my breath as Zhao lifted his hand. "You had your chance, Dragon.", He sneered, and one flicker of crimson later, my father was dead, sprawled on the floor as our home burned. Zhao and the other benders walked out, and I heard a struggle going on. I could make out a figure being dragged out from the corner of my eye, and my breath caught in my throat as Mako was dragged away like a criminal.
The house collapsed, and I could see people trying to put out the fire. If they saw me unscathed, who knows what they'll think? They might think that I killed my family. I had to run. So I ran, past the burning bushes, the crumbling home, and ran into the woods. Once my burning home was out of sight, I collapsed by a tree and began to cry.
Where could I go now? I was an orphan, my little brother was being dragged away, I had no clue where Ty Lee was...
I was helpless, and alone. I went to pull my skirt down, but my fingers brushed against an unfamiliar fabric. I brushed off the dirt, and it revealed an emerald green. Earth Kingdom clothes. I stood up, and lifted up the things. They looked about my size, consisting of a green dress with a darker green throw-over. A dark green, almost black scarf finished it off, and would be perfect to cover my face, hair and ears.
I tugged at my clothes, and they fell apart in my hands. So, the fire ruined my clothes, but I was still unscathed, that's kinda creepy. I threw on the Earth Kingdom garb, and tore up my old clothes, before scattering the fragments on the ground. Wild animal attack, classic.
I had just finished my work when a bush began to shake. I drew the scarf closer to me, and last person I would have expected appeared.
She looked exactly like me, same brown hair, same frame, face shape, same everything. Except our eyes, while mine were amber, her's were grey.
"Who're you?", She asked, okay then, she even sounded like me. Spirits, are you trying to care me or something, because this isn't funny.
"I should be asking you the same question.", I growled, and she lifted her hands. A bender, huh? I braced myself for water, earth, maybe fire, but I got none of those.
Instead, I was blasted back, and I closed my eyes as wind blew dirt in my eyes. "Answer me!", She yelled, but my mouth was useless.
"You're an air bender.", I gasped, and she stopped the wind.
"Yes, and?"
"Air benders are extinct."
"Ha ha, no.", She looked at me like I was crazy, and I felt like it.
"Yeah, they are. They were killed 100 years ago.", I said, and she laughed.
"Look, honey, I'm an air bender, so there are air benders left. There's me, and there's the Avatar."
"Wait, they're alive!?", Holy Agni Kai I need to know NOW!
"And I know where they are."
"Where?"
"The South Pole.", Crap. "So, what's your name?"
"Kiara, you?"
"Nim.", Why did that sound so familiar?
I looked up, and mentally slapped myself. Come on, Kiara, what did your mother say before?
'If you see yourself with different eyes, your life will come with a surprise.' Wait, what? My mind flickered through thousands of scrollls I had read in my lifetime, then, BAM, it hit me like a punch in the face.
Nim, Nim, Ni-
Holy Agni Kai.
Airbender alive, looking like me, if I was right-
Then I'm one of the Chosen.
...
And on that note, good day!
