Author's Note: Sorry for the long break, I just started to study and , well, time flies. Please review!
They managed to create a soup which was at least edible. When it was finished they both looked at it questioningly but then decided, it would have to do.
While they were eating Sun wondered quietly how fast the others accepted her in their group. She was there for a few hours but felt like they knew each other for years.
After dinner each of them told her about his life, their adventures and the current state of the world. Sun for herself feared the time she was about to speak. What would she have to tell them? How much could she tell them? If one of them was a traitor…
Sun nearly jumped when everyone was staring at her. "Uhm, sorry?", she stuttered.
"We wanted to know more about you.", Aang helped her, "We told you about our lives, now what about you?". Looking deep in the little monks trustful eyes, Sun decided to tell them everything. After all he was the Avatar, so he, of all persons, was safe to tell.
So she started, "I am Sun, daughter of Helios.", nobody seemed to remember that name, barbarians, just Aang's eyes narrowed at her. "My mother was a Fire Nation noble, but she had to flee to the Sun Warriors when she was pregnant, because her parents wouldn't accept that. She died giving birth to me, so I don't remember a thing about her, even if my father showed me some pictures of her in my dreams.
The Sun Warriors raised me. Well, I don't know if 'raised' is the right word, they imprisoned me in a golden cage because of my father and a prophecy, who told them I would come. Actually I don't know exactly what it tells, they kept it secret.
For years I prayed to my father that he would give me a sign when it was alright to go. And then you and Zuko came to the village and even if I didn't speak with you back then I just knew that this was the sign I had been praying for. So I followed you."
Every one stared at her for a little eternity, when Aang started, "But how can Helios still be alive? The monks always told me the old Gods died when the spirits rose."
"Well, first of all, my father isn't a God, he's a Titan, so he's far older than the Gods. And yes, people think they're dead, but they are wrong. The spirits were always there and will always be, and so will the Gods. They just aren't as present as in earlier times because people forgot about them and their temples. But you cannot kill the Gods like you cannot kill the sun.", Sun finished with a broad smile.
They all went to bed after that. Early in the next morning Sun sat on the edge of the main platform and stared into the fog. Aang joint her.
"You're up pretty early.", he started, earning a grin, "Zuko is too always 'raising with the sun'", he yawned, "I thought about what you said yesterday. Actually Avatar Roku visited me and we discussed it.".
"And? Any conclusions?"
"Yes, now that you're here, we cannot let the Fire Nation know who you are, what you are, or which powers you have. By the way, what powers do you have?"
"I don't know exactly. Sometimes when I was little I used to play with fire, making the flames in the lamps glow and dim, and when I went out of my room I only touched the lock and it sprung out of the door from the heat, oh, and sometimes my eyes glow."
"No fire bending?"
"I don't know. They never taught me and I never had to fight..."
They both stared out on the horizon when something red appeared in between the fog. Aang immediately sprung up and ran back into the temple, waking the others, while Sun slowly stood and moved backwards into some shadows.
