"I know what you're not."

Aang froze, staring at Katara incredulously.

"H-how? I've been so careful!"

"I know you have," said Katara, sitting on the floor. "But it's pretty obvious when I know that there can't be someone else like me."

Aang sat on the floor opposite her, staring bemusedly.

"How did you find out?"

Katara laughed mirthlessly.

"I was lucky. I got angry with Sokka –my brother- and stormed away from the village. When I came 'round I was in a massive pool of water. My dad thought the ice had just given out from underneath me."

"I was told when I was twelve. The monks thought there was going to be a war, and that I needed to be prepared. I nearly ran away when they tried to send me away for training, but Monk Gyatso stepped in and stopped them. So I stayed here."

There was silence for a few moments as each of them digested the news they had been given.

Finally, thought Aang. Finally, they've come. But how? How is it possible? She's from the water tribes…

Finally, thought Katara. Finally, I'm here. But how? How is it possible? What made them think that he was real…?

"Why are you the Avatar?"
