The Memories

The Waterbenders at the Trinity told me to kneel down facing away from them. They touched a point on the back of my head, and then touched the small of my back. The blood started to rush through me. From the back of my head to the small of my back, it flowed until I remembered what actually happened.

I remembered my mother… Her name was Taki. She and my father, Lee raised my sister and me equally. Then we showed our skills as A Firebender, and an Earthbender. Then we both started Bending all the elements. When the CEO of All Directions found out he stormed our home. He was there himself. I tried to stay with my mother as her chest was torn open and her heart eaten by that monster he brought with him. No more will I forget what he did to her.

My father took us to the Air Temple Island. There he had the best Waterbender wipe our minds and hid us among the civilians to protect us. Only she kept her ability to bend all Elements… I was stuck with Firebending.

When the memory completely came back to me, I looked at Rohan and Daijo.

"You were the one who told the Waterbender to wipe my mind," I said to Rohan. Then I turned to Daijo. "And you… You're my sister!"

"Your twin sister," she confirmed.

"But that still doesn't explain where I got the abilities of the Avatar!"

"I know…" Rohan said. "It's unheard of for a non-Avatar bender to be able to bend all four elements. But this is a gift that you can no longer refuse, Daanos."
