8.5.07 Never, Ever
Aang and Sokka halted as the girl, who had only moments before been crying, spun around and directed two sharp fans towards them. She stepped carefully, moving to their right. As she walked, she spoke warily.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Aang, and this is Sokka."
"Any boat would have been decimated by the Unagi. How, then, did you arrive on Kyoshi?"
She stepped to the right again, and Sokka turned to follow her as Aang exclaimed,
"This island is named for Kyoshi? I know Kyoshi!"
The strange girl sidestepped again, snorting derisively.
"Ha! How could you possibly know her? Avatar Kyoshi was born here four hundred years ago. She's been dead for centuries."
Aang stepped forwards earnestly.
"I know her because I'm the Avatar."
The girl faltered slightly, but then recovered, brandishing her fan threateningly.
"That's impossible! The last Avatar was an airbender who disappeared over a hundred years ago."
She sidestepped for a final time as Aang grinned disarmingly, or tried to.
"That's me!"
"I have half a mind to throw you to the Unagi."
Sokka decided he had had enough of listening, and that it was his turn to talk.
"And how are you going to do that? You're the one with your back to the-"
Sokka stopped, noticing the fatal flaw in his plan. During her sidestepping, the girl had manoeuvred herself so that she was between them and the rest of the island, and so that they had their backs to the water. She grinned mockingly, Sokka feeling his courage shrivel, just a little.
"Oh."
And we find out who the mysterious intruders are!
This marks the end of the daily updates. But I'll still post here, just not as frequently- mainly because I'm eating all those delicious chocolate eggs!
Happy Easter!
