Nalina was sitting on her window sill, observing her room. Her mat that she slept on was neatly made with a thin blanket made by the sky bison's shed fur. Her room was small and on the walls was things that she and Aang found when he was still here. Nalina sighed and pulled her legs up under her chin and she closed her blue and gray eyes.

"Nalina?" She opened her eyes and tried to blink the sleep out of them.

"Master Gyatso." She yawned and stood up to do the formal bow.

"You must come with me. The sages and I have something to tell you." Master Gyatso bowed to her and turned around to lead her to the meeting ground.

She walked with, confusion on her face but she held her head high and noticed once again that the whispers that usually followed weren't there as much. They were just a buzz in the background now.

Once they finally made it to the meeting clearing Gyatso walked in and bowed to his fellow sages and sat on his seat to the right of the main sage. Nalina bowed to the sages and sat down with her feet on her legs in criss cross style.

"Yes Masters?" She asked when they obsereved her.

"You know that we need to tell you something right?" The main sage asked, his gray eyes full of wisdom and, saddness?

"Yes Master." She nodded to him.

"Well you know about the history of the Alchemist?" Gyatso asked.

"Yes my teachers made sure that I study it hard." Nalina answered, wondering where this was going.

"You know that the Alchemist is also in a way an Avatar?" The sage on the left asked.

"In a way, but they can also control spirit." Nalina nodded.

"Well, Nalina, you are the Alchemist." Gyatso said.

She sat there, not moving a single muscle and after ten minutes of staring off into space she came back.

"When will I learn to bend the elements?" She finally asked.

All of the sage's eyes widen in shock.

"You're not going to deny it?" The main sage asked.

"No Master Galino. I always knew I was different for a reason." She answered.

After two weeks of learning how to bend water and perfect air, Nalina was talking to Gyatso about her fire bending training.

"Who can we trust with the secret that the Alchemist is alive?" Nalina asked as they walked around the gardens together.

"We're not sure exactly." Master Gyatso sighed and took a breath then froze.

"Master Gyatso?" Nalina asked then also froze when black snow started to fall from the sky.

"No." Master Gyatso took off the the side with Nalina following right behind.

"Fine Nation...How did they find us?" Nalina couldn't help asking a question that didn't have an immediate answer.

"Nalina, you must get away!" Master Gyatso took her hand and lead her to the where the sky bison's were.

"What? I need to stay and help!" Nalina protested but was amazed but the old man's strength in his grip.

"You should, but you can't. You need to get away before they take you too." Gyatso pulled her along.

"They don't even know if I'm alive or not. As far as they're concerene, I'M A MYTH!" Nalina couldn't help screaming as tears began to spill from her eyes.

"Exactly child! They must not know that you are alive or all will be lost." Gyatso said while getting Sky from where she laid.

"I can't just leave you! You could be killed." She didn't mean to wail.

"All for protecting you." Gyatso smiled at her sadly.

"I don't want to be protected, I can look after myself!" Nalina crossed her arms but their argument was paused when the temple gave a shake and screams erupted from within the walls.

"You must go please Nalina!" Gyatso pleaded with the young girl.

"Come with me." She finally decided as she got up on Sky's head.

"I can't my place is here. You're place is out there in world to regain the peace with Aang." Gyatso stepped away from Sky just Nalina was about to pull him up.

"What? NO!" She screamed when Gyatso lightly told Sky, "Yip yip."

"Gyatso!" She called out with her hand out to catch him and tears streaming down her face.

"Grandfather..." She whispered when he was no longer in sight.
