Aang sat down looking over the girl she sat on all fours as she looked at him curiously.
'So this is who my earthbending teacher is suppose to be' he thought curiously.
Well thinking back he did not exactly have traditional teacher to begin with. He learned airbending from Gyatso who was not exactly your typical air nomad and waterbending mostly from a girl that only started herself (seriously at least) shortly after meeting for the first time. So having to learn earthbending from this girl that thought she was a badgermole was too far out there. Then again he was not a typical Avatar as they are normally inform at 16 not 12 and given a decade or more learn the other three elements. He however was give less then a year to learn all three.
He has already mastered airbending and Katara was still teaching waterbending even as she had to get better at it herself. Now he had his next teacher but that did not solve the current problem he had. Just how was he going to get out this place as the way he came in was not liking going to be the exit. There was no telling just how far down he had fallen thus what if he got tired and he also had to bring this girl along with him.
Aang's deep thought when he heard the loud squeal and felt something being dropped into his lap. There blind girl had dropped an animal she had killed with her bare hands and jaws. How ever long she had been down here and whatever she been doing in that time had given her teeth and hands enough force to do something like this.
Here he thought Sokka was bad a meat lover, this girl did not even bother cooking the animal she just ate it raw. If he was not already a vegetarian this could have turned him into one as he could not break away from the girl that devouring her catch raw. Jaws ripping through flesh as she tore out the stuff she apparently could not stomach with her hands just tossing it a side.
Noticing that Aang was not eating she went over gave a curious look as to why he was not eating. She nudged from behind to start eating as while the Avatar himself was not aware of it yet. She could tell that he was hungry thus the reason she gave him food.
This cause the young airbender to wonder just how Sokka would react in this setting. Sure the guy loved meat but he looked cooked meat. He probably never had feral girl push him into eating an animal raw. Then again he was the main hunter of the group the only thing he might complain about is how he want it to be cooked first.
However Aang was not prepared for what happened next as she just jammed some her own food right into his mouth. It was so sudden that Aang almost sallow the it on reflex as she pushed pretty far into his mouth. Running over the body of water he managed to spit it out and then wash his mouth out, in order to get the taste off his tongue.
Angry that he was wasting food and just being stubborn she stump the ground. Causing Aang to sink into it as dragging her own half eaten animal towards him. With a slab of meat in one hand she opened her mouth apparently wanting him to copy her. When he failed to comply she whack him on the head with her other hand and repeat the process of opening her mouth.
Luckily he somehow managed to get to an explanation of what she was doing before she force fed him raw meat. From what he managed to gather this was how her mother(the badgermole she thinks of as such) taught her how to eat. For some reason she did not like eating meat either but she was taught how to like this way.
It took some more convincing before he finally managed to stop her. While she had no idea what vegetarian was at all. She did seem understand what herbivore was even if the word itself did not ring a bell. It confused her at first but she understood as meat was not something he ate(her now thinking it because he can not because he chooses not too).
Freeing him from the ground she has Aang follow after her walking through the tunnel with hand on her hair. He could not see in the dark and ran off so quickly that he was not able get his spark rocks in time.
After walking for what seem like very long time until he felt something hit him in the head.
It was shortly afterward that she top and grabbed something and shooved it into Aang's hands. Though he was unable to see this girl could apparently 'see' regardless as she also had the same sight as the badgermoles. One where they did not see with their blind eyes but through earthbending instead.
Because she had grabbed something and was now making noise for him to eat. Aang guess they were not that far from the surface. What she had given him must have been some kind vegetable that grew underground. From here he had a plan on how to get back to the surface with her help all had to do now was convince her.
Meanwhile…
"Sokka are you sure this a good idea" Katara asked as they follow Appa who sniffing the air around him.
"Of course Aang and Appa have some mystical connection to each other. That how he able to understand him more then us after all. So why not have him lead us to Aang" he said.
"Really Sokka all the way out here as we are no where never the river area anymore" she replied.
"If someone had not waterbend a wave them Aang would not have been washed away" Sokka said.
"Are you imply that this my fault" said waterbender shouted angry she was getting blamed for this.
"Well if the….ouch…something bite me" her older brother yelled out before looking down
"Ah served head" Sokka howled out before almost passing out.
"Really now that just…what the!?" Katara yelled herself.
Growling the 'served head' looked in their direction before a hand appeared from the ground and then around shortly after that.
"Zombie girl run for your life!" Sokka exclaimed as he ran forgetting Appa was dead in front of them.
Now the so called 'zombie girl' pulled herself out the ground walked away from the hole she had made followed by Aang who came out shortly afterwards.
Katara happy that Sokka plan actually worked was about to hug Aang when she was pushed out the way by the girl that came out the hole before him.
She motion to the hole and then began opening her mouth. She wanted him to keep his part of the deal as she dug them to the surface now he had to eat.
"Okay..okay…I will eat as that was part of the deal. I know" Aang told her glad this was something he could in fact eat raw(and that also was not meat).
"Alright Toph what did you to Aang? Why is there blood on you? Why did you bite me?" Sokka demand after realizing the girl was not zombie.
However she just looked at him curiously for a moment before returning her attention to pulled up another one for Aang having notice he finished the first.
"What did you just call her" the Avatar asked curiously
"Toph. Is not that her name as it print right on the back of what left of the clothes she wearing. Appear to be a another name too but far too faded to see" he told her.
"I guess that what I call you as you are going to need a name" he said.
She blinking at him as that really meant nothing to her as she did not mind being called that. It had familiar ring to that she could place her finger on. Anyway there the second deal they had to carry out now.
"Aang what is Toph doing" Katara asked looking at how Toph was push the avatar back into the hole.
He then explained to the to water tribe sibling that he had found his earthbending teacher and managed to convince her to teach him. However there was still some kinks that need to be worked out in their agreement
"Oh that perfect as you finally found….wait WHAT!" Katara yelled as the information sank in
