That description is lousy but I don't really know what to put in there, enough about that. Sooo this is the start of the story "Come With Me". I've very very very excited to share this with all of you and I couldn't wait to start this story!
The man dressed in robes entered the tavern, his eyes looking around in search of someone. People turned their eyes at the newcomer and instantly sensed that the man is not from here. They gave him another look before returning to their own business. The man huffed at everyone before taking the nearest chair and sunk down into it. His face was masked with a frown, his weary eyes roaming the room mindlessly.
"You're not from here, are you?"
The man almost jumped at the sight of a girl no older than twelve years old. The girl was watching him with wide curious eyes but there was an unmistakably judging look behind it. She wore typical earth nation clothes so the man figured out that the girl is from here. Apparently he's wrong because the girl shook her head and told him that they are just visiting and they are leaving soon.
"Where's your parents?" The man asked, raising his eyebrows at the little girl who took the initiative to invite herself to his table. "Hey, I'm talking to you."
The girl scowled at him. "They're with my little brother. He broke a vase in a shop because of his bending and my mom and dad are talking with the owner."
The man grinned at her, his face lighting up in amusement. "Having a little sibling is stressful. I know the feeling. I have a little brother too and I can't tell you how many times I had to tell him to stop before he broke another piece of furniture." The girl beamed at him, flashing him a wide smile.
"But why are you here? Won't your parents look for you?" The man asked in concern.
The girl just shrugged and said. "They know where I am. My mom always managed to find me no matter how hard I try to hide from her." The man nodded and the two of them fell into a comfortable silence until the girl perked up again. "Why are you here?"
The man raised his eyebrow. "Why? You own this place or something?"
The girl blushed before shaking her head in embarrassment. "No, I mean what are you doing here? Are you visiting someone? And I can't help but notice that you're dressed like an airbender. Are you an airbender? Can you airbend? Do you live in temples?"
The man chuckled at her, reminding her of someone who is just like her. "Yes I'm an airbender and no, I don't live in a temple." The girl continued to stare at him that it made him uncomfortable. "What?" He asked dumbfounded.
"You haven't answered my other questions." The girl said matter-of-factly. "What are you doing here? Are you visiting someone?"
"Didn't your mother tell you to don't talk to strangers?"
"My daddy told me not to but he's not here." The girl revealed cheekily, looking around as if someone will emerge. "Just answer my question."
"I'm here on a very important secret mission. I'm with some very important people and we're here looking for someone. You can't tell anyone about what I said, okay?" The man said whispering and the girl's eyes widened before nodding.
"I won't." The girl said, smiling. "Have you found the person you're looking for?"
The man shook his head. "Not yet but we're told that he should be here."
"Don't worry, you'll find him." The girl smiled. The man nodded gratefully before the silence took over one again. A few minutes have passed when the girl started getting bored and poking the man one in a while, asking him if he had seen the person he's looking for yet but the man just shook her head. "I'm bored." The girl whined, putting her head on the table.
"Go back to your parents. I'm sure they're looking for you now." The man suggested but the girl just shook her head and crossed her legs under her.
"Why don't you tell me a story?" The girl said as if it's the most brilliant idea.
The man chuckled before shaking his head. "I'm not a great storyteller, kid, sorry."
The girl huffed and crossed her arms. "You're boring. If you don't want to tell a story, I'll do it and you'll have to listen carefully, okay? I don't want to repeat it again in case you ask something."
"What makes you think that I want to listen to your story?" The man said and immediately took it back when the girl pouted. "Don't cry. I'll listen to your story."
The girl smiled, happily dancing in her seat before clearing her throat. "I'll start now, okay? Are you ready?"
