Kirk, Sokka, Katara, and Aang walked through the woods surrounding the temple. They passed a bunch of dead trees and black dirt. "It looks like an abandoned fire nation camp." Said Sokka. The sky was dark as if no sunlight was getting. Through. Aang sighed. He didn't like walking that much. They walked for what seemed to be hours to Aang, but really they had only been walking for ½ of that.

Finally they came to a patch of living earth. Trees, tall trees stood everywhere brightening the outlook on the dark land. "Could we have traveled in the future?" asked Katara. Aang stopped for a moment but then walked on. The four of them all stopped at once because they heard music, beautiful music. Katara recognized it as a harp. For some reason Kirk felt attracted to this music. It seemed to be beckoning him nearer. He walked closer and closer till finally the four of them reached a small clearing. In the middle sat an old man with his eyes closed playing the harp.

Kirk felt entranced by the song's beautiful melody. It echoed magnificently through the dismal woods. The song ended in a marvelous finale wrapping the song up in a quiet "C" chord. The old man opened his eyes and was startled to see visitors. "Oh, hello." He stared at their clothes. "Umm," said Aang. "Could you tell us where the next Earth village is?" "Earth village?" "Oh you must be from the temple." "Yes we are." Said Kirk. "Then you will not find any Earth Villages here because we don't have earthbenders in this dimension."

"Wait hold up." Said Sokka. "What do you mean this dimension?" "Well, you came from a dimension where water, earth, fire, and air reign dominant." "Yes close enough." "Well in this dimension light, shadows, space, and time are the elements." "So we aren't even in our own dimension?" asked Katara. "Yes that is correct. You have read the prophecy haven't you?" "Well yes…" said Katara. "Well it states clearly that with the Avatar's help the Lightbender will travel from one dimension to the next. The Lightbender will save the hope of our world. He has three companions. One, Two, and Three." Said the old man pointing at Katara, Aang, and Sokka. "You are to save the Shin-Hoo." Stated the old man while staring at Kirk. "The what?" "The Shin-Hoo, he is like the Avatar in this dimension. He is saving us from the evil shadowbenders. Recently he has gone missing." "Missing?" "Yes one day he was infiltrating a shadowbender camp and just disappeared."

"So Shin-Hoo, different elements, and shadowbenders anything else you could tell us that would creep us out?" said Sokka. "Well yes, did you know that when the Avatar activated the portal all your bending got switched?" "What!" yelled Aang, Katara, and Kirk at once. "Yes," said the man after he rubbed his ears. "If you were a waterbender you are now a Lightbender, if you were a firebender you are now a shadowbender, if you were an airbender you are now a timebender, if you were an earthbender you are now a spacebender. Also the Avatar has only his native element switched and all the others are just simply gone." "GONE!" exclaimed Aang "You mean I can only control time?" "Yep." Aang sat there his mouth hanging open. "COOL, I CAN CONTROL TIME!" Aang yelled excitedly.

A question popped into Kirk's head. "What's the difference between me and any other Lightbender?" The old man had a quick reply. "Well regular lightbending is nowhere near as strong as yours, and no other Lightbender is destined to travel between dimensions and save the world." The old man chuckled. "And no other lightbender would wear anything like that." The old man pointed to Kirk's Water tribe outfit. Kirk frowned.

Lightning flashed in the sky. "Oh, time is running short you must go. Any other questions you have can wait till later." The old man pointed to a path in between to trees. Kirk went to look back at the old man. "But what about…" The man was gone. The four travelers looked around but could not find him so they started walking down the path.

"Again with the walking." Said Aang upset.
