Hey guys here is another chapter! :D I don't own LoK
Jinora waited patiently for their answer, but they didn't know if they should tell them the truth or lie to her. Both were a problem. If they told her the truth, then she might tell Tenzin about them and Lin would have to deal with him about Lian and Aang. But if they lied, maybe in the future, when Tenzin knows and wants to tell Pema and the younger kids about them, then there would be a bigger problem involving trust issues.
They looked at each other knowing the consequences. So, the guys let Lian decide because she was the most rational out of all four of them. Lian closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Lets tell her the truth."
"What truth?" Jinora asked curiously.
"Do you know the story of the Legends?" Hakkoda asked in reply.
"Yeah. Four benders of each element have consistent birthdays and they are the most powerful of the element they bend. They also can go into the Avatar State like the Avatar. Legends are usually found at birth and they would have to be raised in the other world. Some Legends aren't found or needed, so they leave them alone in the other world in peace. Some citizens in Republic City think that either me, Ikki, Meelo, or the baby in my mother's stomach is the Legend of Air. Why do I need to talk about them."
"Well, you see the four people you just mention, they aren't the Legend of Air." Lian told her.
"Then who is the Legend of Air?" She asked her back.
"Umm... the four of us are the Legends." Roku said.
Jinora's eyes widened, "But how?"
Hakkoda came up to her, "Do you know the story of the Lost Prince of the Fire Nation and the Lost Boy of the Southern Water Tribe?"
"Yeah. Aunt Ursa had another son, his name was Roku, named after Avatar Roku. He was playing with his older brother, who is now known as General Iroh II of the United Forces, then a group of bad guys kidnapped Roku and they soon to believe that he is dead. The Lost Boy of the Southern Water Tribe was Aunt Kya's youngest son, Hakkoda, he went on a hunting trip and get lost, people believed that he froze to death."
"That was a lie, a cover up story, kid." Aang told her.
"Cover up story?"
"Yes. My name is Hakkoda, I am the lost boy of the Southern Water Tribe. It was just a story so no one would get suspicious of where I was because I was 5 years old and that was when we all found out we were Legends. After, we found out who we were we went straight to the other world and my family that story to hide my tracks. The same thing with Roku." Hakkoda explained.
Jinora looked at them with wide eyes. "So you are Prince Roku?" She pointed at Roku.
"Yes, I am."
"What about you two?" Jinora looked at Aang and Lian.
"We are twins. I am Aang Beifong..." Aang tried to tell her, but was interuppted.
"Aang Beifong... as in Beifong... Beifong!?"
"Yes our mother is Chief Lin Beifong. Back when your dad, Tenzin was dating our mother, he got her pregnant. The day she was going to tell him about us, she caught Pema going in for a kiss with Tenzin. So, she kept us a secret. The only people that know about us is the police force, Aunt Ursa, Aunt, Kya, Uncle Bumi, Gran Gran Katara, Grandpa Zuko, Uncle Kaian (Kya's husband), and Uncle Lao (Ursa's husband). Those are the people that know about us that are alive." Lian explained to Jinora.
"Is that what my mother meant when she said that she confessed her feelings to Tenzin? So, that makes you two my older half-siblings? Hakkoda would be my cousin and Roku is part of family also huh? Wait, How are you guys Legends?"
Aang cut in, "Yes that's what you're mother meant. Yeah we are your older half-siblings. Yes they are family. And we are Legends because I am a master Earth Bender/Metal Bender and Lian is a master Air Bender." Lian took off her jacket and picked up her hair to reveal a blue arrow tattoos.
Jinora was amazed. "Wow..."
"But it is a secret. When you see Aang in public his name is Chang, to hide suspicion. You can't tell any of your other siblings, your parents, and anyone on the Island or Republic City. You have to promise us." Roku said to her, sticking out his hand for a handshake promise.
Jinora extended her hand and looked at them, "I promise."
They all smiled and Jinora asked Lian, "Lian can you stay and help me with some air bending, Daddy is sometimes to busy for private lessons, so I have to work in the same pace as Ikki, Meelo, and now Korra."
Lian's smile became wider, "Of course, Jinora, you are my sister after all."
Jinora squealed in excitement. "I guess it's time for us to leave. We will help mom with some police trouble." Aang told them and the three gave Lian a hug and Jinora a high five.
Lian took off her t-shirt, and underneath was a Quest Crew purple and black tank top. She didn't bring any of her sweats or shorts, so she was going to have to train in black skinny jeans on a hot day.
Lian showed Jinora a few air bender tricks and helped Jinora keep steady on an air ball for a longer amount of time. Then, after a while Jinora became tired, so they just sat and talked about things Jinora wanted to know about them.
But, what they didn't know was Korra heard the whole story because she just wanted to try the air bender gates again, but instead she was hiding behind a tree and heard the whole explanation. Korra turned her head while Lian tried to teach Jinora a few tricks, she saw Lian's air bending tattoos.
Korra decided to reveal her self. She cleared her throat. They both stopped and stiffened. Lian turned around and her eyes were wide.
"How much do you know?" Lian asked her
"All of it. You are the Legends the four you?" Korra replied.
"Mmhhmm..." Lian said nodding her head.
"That's interesting news. But how? I thought Legends are in the other world since birth?"
"No one knew we were the Legends. We didn't find out until the age of 5. We are 18 years old now, but we knew who we really were because our parents raised us for 5 years of our lifes. We couldn't have just forgotten them. They day you came to Republic City, it was the day we were able to go back into this world to find our family, but there was rumors going around that there was trouble here so visiting family was a problem for Hakkoda and Roku."
"Oh..."
"Yeah... Are you going to tell Tenzin because if you are I'm going to have to kidnap you..." Lian said jokingly.
"No, I am not going to tell the boss man that he has two other kids." Korra replied with a smile.
Lian and Jinora smiled back and Lian told them, "I think this is going to be a beginning of a beautiful friendship."
"I agree!" Jinora said.
Korra nodded with a smile, "Me too... Me too." My first friend here in Republic City! Sweet! I can't wait until I get to know Aang, Hakkoda and Roku.
