Sister Avatar
~Ice Village~

Iana was concerned with the fact that her brother and sister might find out the truth of the matter that they were most likely the last Airbenders ever left alive. This made her mind quite sad as she knew that eventually Aang would find out that his mentor was dead and wouldn't be able to help them in the journey ahead.

Also, Dami was in need of an Airbending master to teach her, someone who was preferably not one of the siblings… Iana had not quite reached the stage of mastery, but Aang had… yet she found that he was to immature and young to help their little sister learn to master the art of Airbending… which left it up to her until Aang could be considered mature enough, if that could ever happen.

She also had concerns about Aang's crush on Katara. No, it was more then a mere childish crush… it was a full blown first love. The soul smells of Katara and Aang didn't mix very well, at least in her opinion that was. Katara had a more mature soul smell to her, while Aang had a… well, one wouldn't call it immature, but more of an innocence about it that wasn't compatible with Katara's knowledge of the world.

Perhaps this would change… but she hoped her little brother never lost the ideal that killing was not the way to ever go… but from the looks of things, if the world was to survive, he might have to go ahead and kill. And this thought worried her beyond anything she could think of.

However, all this was washed away as they came to the ice village and she had to bite her lip. She had seen the ice village in its glory days, unlike Aang, and was able to see the decay and destitution that was about the whole place. She was sad that it had fallen from its glory days, though it possibly could never compare to that of the North.

"Katara dear… I am assuming… since you needed a Water Bending master… that there are none here anymore," the woman asked.

"No… they killed off a whole bunch of them when my Grandma was young. I'm the last one," Katara frowned.

"You almost weren't," Sokka muttered.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Dami asked.

"I have the feeling that this is not a subject for young ears," Iana muttered sadly.

"Hey… I am not that young," Aang was a bit bitter.

"I think that she was referring to your sister," Katara commented. "I think that you need to realize… it really isn't something that she should hear… and Sokka and I would rather not talk about."

"Come on… I am guessing that we'll need to introduce you to Gran Gran," Sokka muttered none too enthusiastically. He led them to where an old lady stood, her eyes narrowed.

"Who are these strangers?" the old woman asked.

"They're Airbenders Gran Gran," Katara smiled at the old woman… meaning it was likely that the woman was their grandmother.

"Not possible… there have been none for over a hundred years," the woman stated.

"Not possible… how can their not be Airbenders," Aang muttered in confusion.

"Ssshh Aang. We were frozen in an iceberg for a long time… we do not know what has transpired. Perhaps the elder of this village could fill us in?" Iana asked.

"I believe you need to know," the woman nodded her head to Iana. When Aang followed, she shook her head. "Adults only child."

Author's note – No arguments about whom I eventually pair up with for the fanfic please. If there is any Katara/Aang… it will most likely be one sided. As for Toph/Aang… I am not sure if I'll go with that or another pairing.
