Surprisingly the morning zoomed by quickly. Before they knew it, Katara, Sokka, Aang, and Kirk were on the road again; completely refreshed for the day. Kirk watched as the forest became less and less dense. The pink flowers that had dotted the landscape gradually grew smaller in numbers. The sky slowly turned darker and darker as if the sun was setting already. The temperature got slightly chilly not frigid just chilly. Then suddenly, ambush. Six men jumped from the trees. They pinned the four travelers to the trees. Their black clothes, black eyes, and black hair contrasted with the life around them.
Kirk glanced over to see the others squirming to get free. The look on their faces looked flabbergasted. Kirk, surprisingly, stood completely calm. Suddenly, the wind picked up. Leaves blew over the faces of the shadowbenders. They looked up quickly as if something was about to jump on top of them. They looked back down just in time to see the last thing they ever will, eyes glowing bright gold.
It all happened to fast. Before they knew it Katara, Sokka, and Aang watched as Kirk ran past them, faster than the wind, with glowing trails of light streaming after him. Shrugging, the other three ran after him. Another group of shadowbenders jumped out of the trees and stopped Kirk in his tracks. Kirk blasted through them as easily as an arrow and a tissue. Everything stopped. "WHEN WILL WE STOP RUNNING?" yelled Aang. He stopped and took a small rest.
Aang then walked up to Kirk watching as he stood as still as a statue with eyes as gold as a Mayan temple. Aang waved his arms over Kirk pulling him out of time. The golden eyes stopped glowing and returned to normal. Kirk stood still and stared at the shadowbenders. "Something's not right." He said. "What?" asked Aang. Kirk created a small ball of light and laid it on the shadowbenders hand. The hand dissipated into a cloud of black smoke.
"They're not human." He said. "Huh?" asked Aang. "Normal humans would look slightly different, their hands would not dissipate when light is shone on them, and these shadowbenders have unnatural black eyes, black hair, black clothes, black gloves, the list goes on. Look at them nothing is different. They all look exactly alike. It's just not right unless…" replied Kirk. "Unless what?" asked Aang desperately. "Unless these aren't shadowbenders." "What do you mean?" asked Aang
"These aren't shadowbenders they are bended shadows!" said Kirk. Kirk created a stream of light and destroyed all of the shadows. "There aren't as many shadowbenders as we think. They all must be shadows." Kirk thought back to the village. "The shadows in the village looked the same too. In fact, I haven't seen one that looks any different." "You know what, I don't think I have either." Replied Aang.
"This should make getting to Miyach a piece of cake." Said Kirk. He was about to run down to the temple again when Aang grabbed his shirt collar. "Wait!" Aang ran back to where Katara and Sokka stood frozen. He waved his hands over them pulling them out of time. "We don't want to leave them behind."
Finally I have finished this chapter. It took me about 2 weeks to get in enough time to finish this. To all those who were waiting I hope you like it. Skcitt
