Chapter Four

Katara, Sokka, and Aang stood at the front doors taking in the sight of the school all they could.

"This place is huge!" Exclaimed Aang with large eyes.

A soft chuckle was heard behind them, "You must be the new students. Welcome to White Lotus Academy I'm Professor. Royal, you can call me Iroh."

The teens looked at Professor. Royal who was standing directly in front of the huge doors, he looked to be in his late 30's early 40's. His hair was long and pulled back in a low pony tail, his hair was more white/grey than black. He also had a long grey/white beard. Professor. Royal was short and a little chubby but he had a huge grin on his face which gave people the impression he was a very nice man. He was wearing a black suit, a white dress shirt and a bright red tie.

"Um yeah we are. I'm Katara. This," Katara pointed to Aang. "Is Aang, and this," She pointed to her brother. "Is my brother Sokka. It's nice to meet you Professor. Royal."

"Ah, please call me Iroh, and it's a pleasure to meet you too. Your applications said two of you were benders, is this true?"

"Sure is! I'm an airbender and Katara's a waterbender."

"An airbender you say?" Iroh scratched his beard. "And, a waterbender? This year is going to be most interesting." Iroh turned around and shouted to another teenager. "Haru! Come show these youngsters around."

Turning back around he spoke to the gang. "Your stuff will be taken to your rooms so you can leave it here. Classes start on Monday, tonight there is an assembly in the main hall i'll have someone come get you. Your schedules will be given to you tonight at the assembly, and Miss. Katara the question you asked on the phone the anwser is yes. Appa will be most welcomed to stay here with the other animals. Well I must be off goodbye!"

Waving to Iroh they said goodbye. Haru was about 5'7 with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a dark green sweater and brown pants with black dress shoes.

"Hi I'm Haru." He greeted looking at Katara and blushing.

"Yes, we figured that much."

"Sokka don't be so rude!" Again Katara introduced them.

"Well um the two buildings on the side are dorms, your housed according to um grade and the main building is for classes, assemblies, school plays, and eating of course. Follow me I'll give you a tour." Haru flashed a smile at Katara while nervously trying to remember the tour he had given so many times before.

"So how many benders come here?" Aang asked popping in between Haru and Katara.

"Oh well not very many benders come here. Most benders that are left go to the four star bending school."

Sokka snorted. "So are you a bender than?"

Haru blushed some more looking over Aang at Katara, "Yeah, earthbender. What about you?"

"Oh my brother Sokka isn't a bender. Aang and I are though."

"So Haru what kind of benders come here?" Aang asked hopeful that Katara and Sokka were wrong and there are other airbenders still alive.

"Oh erm there are many earthbenders, a couple waterbenders and um a firebender." He replied.

Katara and Sokka gasped. "FIREBENDERS? FIREBENDERS? What are firebenders doing here???" screeched Sokka.

"Oh uh they're refugees."

"They're? I thought you said there was only one." Katara questioned.

"Oh uh haha Professor. Royal is a master firebender. Oh over there, those doors are the entrance to the lunchroom."

"Iroh is a firebender?"

"I knew it!! My instincts told me he was danger!" This comment from Sokka earned three different raised eyebrows.

"So are there any airbenders?"

"Airbenders? Oh no airbenders are extinct."

"Are not!" With this Aang created an air ball crossed his legs and sat on it. He rode the ball in circles around them until he hit the cafeteria doors face first, then fell down onto his back. "Oomph."
