Butterflies flitted around me. I was back at the Southern Air Temple sitting in one of the meditation pavilions. The sun was warm, the sky was blue, and all was peaceful. Calm. Right. There was no pain. No sadness. No crushing loneliness. Airbender children were playing in the distance, some riding air scooters around. I smiled, holding my finger out for the butterfly to land on. I studied its wings; they were a beautiful cerulean blue. There was something familiar about that blue…

Suddenly it fluttered away, taking my thought with it.

"Sorami! Come play!" I heard one of the children should. I stood and ran over, hopping on an air scooter of my own. "Catch me if you can!" he giggled. I gave chase, laughing the entire time.

Eventually I managed to touch his shoulder, grabbing hold of his shawl.

"Aww! You got me!" he whined turning to face me now. I gasped, surprised that he had crystal blue eyes. Again, that blue…

"Sorami."

I looked up to find one of the monks standing atop the stairs.

"Yes?"

"Come with me. There is someone who wishes to see you."

I released my air scooter and followed, wondering who would want to see me.

He led me to the main hall where I spotted a lone figure with a dark maroon cloak covering his head.

"Who is that?" I asked the monk, but he had disappeared. "Hello," I called to the stranger. "Who are you, and why do you wish to see me?"

The figure remained motionless.

I went closer, now a little unsettled. "Um, excuse me. I, uh, I heard you wished to see me. Why?"

He still didn't move. I was nearly next to him now.

"Um, sir?"

I reached out to touch his shoulder, but a hand shot out and grabbed my wrist before I could make contact. I gasped at the firm grip, trying to pull away but failing. His face was still hidden by the cloak.

"L-let me go!" I shouted, now afraid.

"Don't give in Sorami. Don't stop fighting. You have to live," he said, his voice so familiar that it pained me.

"Who are you? What do you want?" I whimpered, terrified tears welling up in my eyes.

"Remember!" His grip tightened. "Remember who you are! Remember where you are! Remember!"

I was shaking. I know who I am! I'm Sorami. I'm an Airbender who will soon be moving to one of the female only temples. I am now at the Southern Air Temple. This is my birthplace and home. I knew all of this already!

"Sorami." He looked up then, the hood falling back. Behind it was a man with Airbender tattoos and hazel eyes that pleaded with me. I knew him, but I didn't know how. "Sorami, you have to remember. You have to fight. Please. Don't give up. They need you. The world needs you."

"Who needs me? Why? I'm just another Airbender child. What can I possibly do?" I asked, my fear fading for some reason.

"No. You're not just another Airbender child. You're the Avatar."

I laughed. "No I'm not! That's Aang!"

"And he's your brother. Why don't you remember?"

"I don't know who you are, but you're definitely mistaken. I'm an only child, and everyone knows that Aang is too. I don't know where you got any of this information, but they were wrong."

"No Sorami. I speak the truth."

I shook my head. "I'm sorry, but you aren't. Now please let me go. I don't want to have my time wasted by these outlandish stories."

"Do you know how I know I'm telling the truth?" the man demanded, his intensity frightening me a little.

"You aren't," I continued to deny.

"I am, and I know I am because I am Aang. I am your brother. And I have passed on to the Spirit World."

My mouth became dry as I shook my head. "You need help," I croaked. "There is something wrong with your mind. Aang is twelve years old. He isn't dead. And I'm not his sister!"

"Remember Sorami!" he shouted at me, making me jump, the fear returning once more. "Remember Zuko! Katara! Sokka! Toph! Remember Korra and Mako and Bolin! Remember your children Rin and Uri! You have to remember!"

Blue eyes flashed in my mind. The achingly familiar blue eyes that I've been seeing everywhere.

"You have to remember before it's too late. Please Sorami. You have to remember. I don't have much more time here. Please!"

A red scarf. A warm hug. Ice and Fire. Sun and Moon. Image after image played through my mind. My body was trembling violently.

"Remember Pema, Tenzin, Jinora and Ikki and Meelo. Remember Lin. I know you can Sorami. You have to!"

A laugh. A smile. A warm hand in mine. An island. A city. My knees gave out; the man caught me.

"Remember Sanura, your animal Spirit guide. Remember Naga, Korra's animal guide. Remember Oogi and Pabu. Remember Appa and Momo. Come on Sorami, you can do it!"

Wings. Fur. Love. I gasped, a glow surrounding me.

"Now fight!"

Darkness enveloped me.
