BOOK ONE: LIGHTCHAPTER ONE: SELENE'S STORY, THE FINDING
Part one
Selene sat in her little garden outside her hut thinking about Aang. "Hmm… I wonder what he is doing right now. And why is it that I'm only 12 years old?" she thought. Selene slowly got up, stretched out her stiff muscles, and walked over to her pond. She gazed through the crystal clear water and saw the fish swim up to be fed. For some strange reason, all animals never feared her. They would just come right on up to her without hesitation. At times she would have a parade of little creatures behind her, and following her about. Selene watched the fish's emerald and azure scales glitter as she threw a handful of wheat onto the sparkling surface of the water.
Today was the day Selene would go to the market. She only went once every 3 years because she couldn't let people notice that she doesn't age. Because of this, Selene has had to grow her own food. This wasn't hard because Selene is a vegetarian, and she is and excellent gardener. It was also dangerous to go to the market because someone might notice her violet eyes. Yes, Selene has purple eyes. Selene's eyes are the only way you can tell that she is the Avatress.
Selene's job is to help the Avatar save the world. Only there is one problem, Selene doesn't know where aang is. She also hasn't bonded with him yet. Just like Aang is the bridge to the spirit world, Selene is the speaker for the spirits. The speaker for the spirits protects the spirits, speaks for them (obviously), and keeps them in line. Because of her responsibilities, Selene is given 4 bending abilities- light bending, dark bending, nature bending, and wisdom bending. But in order to get these abilities, Selene must bond with the avatar, and he/she will take her to the spirit world to receive her bending from the spirits. Selene will have to master these bending skills by herself with no teacher. Unlike aang, there are no masters to guide her. The spirits will help somewhat, but other than that, she is on her own.
Selene picked up her bag of fruit that she would sell at the market, and put on her mask and hooded cape to protect her identity. If people asked about the mask, she would just tell them she had a condition or something. When Selene was ready to go, she whistled to Chai, her little gerbi mouse/best friend, who leaped onto her shoulder and off they went through the forest to the market.
At the market, Selene skipped down the many roads with all of the merchants shouting and bartering over jewelry, clothing, and other goods. At last she found a nice little corner almost hidden by all of the carts and shops. Perfect! She thought. Selene sat right on down, spread out her colorful blanket, and arranged all of her ripe and delicious fruit. She then began studying all of the strange people as they walked past. Selene wasn't ever around other people because of her secret, so when she went to the market she was able to interact with other human beings. This was the main reason why she loved going to the market. Selene watched and listened to a couple of men argue about some fish, which was pretty funny. One of the men looked like he was going to explode because his face was turning red with veins showing. She also watched some children beg their mothers for sweets.
Then she saw him. A young 12-year-old boy wearing a hat, and orange/yellow clothes. He was smiling at a tall girl with tan skin, and wearing water tribe clothes. There was a taller boy also dressed in water tribe clothes lagging behind, and he didn't look very happy, as if he would rather be somewhere else. He kept staring at all of the meat and fish like a starving animal. The look on his face made Selene giggle. "I haven't seen anybody wear those kind of clothes since the monks left. " thought Selene, "oh no! That's Aang! I can't let him see me! I don't want to be the Avatress!" explained Selene to Chai, who just stared back at her with her beady little black eyes. Selene quickly turned around on her blanket pretending to do something important, and hoped she wouldn't be seen. But it didn't work.
The boy bounded over to her and sat down to inspect her fruit. "WOW! These are the biggest peaches I've ever seen! How much are they?" Aang asked. "They are one copper piece for two pieces of fruit." Selene said while turning around, not wanting to be rude. After all, she had her mask on. "OH WOW! Katara, come here!" he shouted to the girl. Katara stopped looking at the pottery she was studying, and walked over to Aang with an almost hidden girl selling fruit. "What is it Aang?" asked Katara, "All of this fruit is only one copper piece for two fruits!" Aang said excitedly. "Are you serious? Well in that case, well will take all of them!"
Well there you have it! Please tell me what you think! I love hearing from you and will do my best to answer any questions you may have!
I have to know what you think! I can't go on without your thoughts!
