Thanks for the Reviews!

Chapter Three: Bravery Beckons

Jana knew she had committed a crime. At that moment her desire to be evil was depleted. At least they didn't recognize me. Where am I anyways? Surveying the land, the girl figured she'd better move on, and leave her painful memories behind. Starting to walk north, away from the Earth Kingdom, Jana stopped. A scream surfaced from the heart of the woods. Instantly her instinct kicked in. Somebody's in trouble……interesting. Although her instincts were more evil than good they were instincts nonetheless, and couldn't be ignored. Heading in the direction of the sound Jana came to a huge tree in the center of the forest. Nearby she spotted some Yun Yan Archers from atop close trees. They seemed to be aiming at someone… There! High in the tree! Two small boys no older than ten were perched on top of a branch, high above the rest, dodging arrows. They just had to go and choose the highest tree in the forest. Turning her attention back to the archers Jana yelled up to them. "Why are you shooting at them?" The Yun Yan ignored the girl and kept shooting as the screams of the children grew. Feeling strange, Jana's powers began to leak out. But this time was different. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. Her powers were urging her to do…good? With the shadows grasping her, Jana floated up to one of the archers. She lunged at him and flew into his minds. The man leaked the information. These guys are on private construction property, and they were vandalizing the process of the builders'. By the King's commandment we were sent to stop their actions. Jana began to exit but left the man this message. Stop them, not kill them! Fleeing the man's mind the 'phantom' flew into the one of the boys' mind. Stop, please stop! We were just trying to stop you from developing our home. We lived on this island before the construction started, and the King should consider us and the rest of our village's people before putting us out. That was all Jana needed to know. Though it was against her nature something made her want to stop them from being put out of their home. Maybe it was because Jana knew what it was like to be thrown out of your house. It was miserable. Nowhere to go, no place to call home. Seizing the arrows and bows within her shadows Jana disintegrated them. She spoke to the Yun Yan through there minds, and told them the real story. They agreed to protest to the king. Finally Jana commanded the shadows to destroy the construction site, and sent the boats back up the river. When she was done Jana's strange spirit inhabitant drained her of her energy. The last thing she saw before she passed out was the young boys thanking her and heading home.

"What was all that noise?" "I don't know," an Air Nomad replied to the young water peasant. "But I think we should go check it out. Appa, Yip Yip!" Aang, the avatar, and his friends Sokka, the warrior, and Katara the waterbender headed down into an Island's woods where the sound of screams had emerged.

The bison gently landed next to a fainted girl. Hopping off the bison the three examined the young girl. "I think she's dead." Sokka stated plainly. "Don't be to sure Sokka, she still has a pulse." Katara gave her brother a look and turned back to the young girl. "Katara, maybe you and I can heal her with waterbending." "Good idea." Cautiously the two started to draw water from Katara's skin. They encircled the water around her lifting her up off the ground. When standing Katara touched her heart. The girl's eyes popped open, and she looked frightened. Taken aback she stumbled, but Aang caught her. Looking up into the young nomads eyes Jana knew that fate was on her side. Something about this boy was different. Something…
