I do not own Avatar the Last Air-Bender, all rights belong to Mike DiMartino and Nickelodeon. I own nothing that you recognize.

Thank you to everyone who has left a review and has followed and or favorited!

To answer some of the reviews: Timothy himself is not afraid of fire, Wrath is. Extreme Temperature and Sonic Weaponry are a Symbiote weakness. Why did he wait on the Lion-Turtle? Because he had nothing better to do, and I wanted to have water for healing, and metal bending for the future worlds. Yes he is Over Powered, but he is still some what human. I am sorry that you do not like it.

The story continues onward like a river flowing to the sea...

(Timothy's Point of View)

I growled annoyed at myself as I tried to Earth Bend, but it did not come to me as easily as Water Bending did. Though I will say, I was pretty good at forcing water out of plants, like squeezing a sponge. I learned how to phase the water, turn it from water, to ice and to steam, and go from one to the other seamlessly. But Earth Bending is evading me, perhaps I need a teacher… or I just need to watch…

Regardless I needed to prefect my bending, part of me regretted not becoming the Dark Avatar, it meant more power, but the problem was the fire, Wrath was still a Symbiote and had a huge weakness for extreme temperature and sonic weapons, meaning fire and loud, high pitched sounds, and maybe freezing, though the latter will not truly harm us, but fire could seriously harm Wrath, hence why I declined the Fire Bending, even though it is one of the more powerful and versatile forms to bend.

I continued to walk through the forest, I had a pair of Necro-Swords strapped to my back, and two doubled edged daggers in my boots acting as shin guards as well as two eight inch daggers on my forearms acting as a kind of vambrace. The Necro-Swords on my back were black in color, I mean black as a pool of ink in the depths of a cave, the daggers in my boots were the same color, but the ones on my arms were a silvery color, the color of regular steel.

I frowned as I muttered, "I wonder where the nearest town, or village is…" I closed my eyes and tried to sense everything around me, using both my Spider Sense and my Seismic Sense, I could sense everything for about a mile, but I was mostly alone with the exception of some weird hybrid animals that only someone with a very good imagination or maybe a stoner could think up, though there were a few 'normal' animals as well, but those were far and few between.

I looked down at myself and I sighed, I was wearing a green shirt made from cotton that I had made on the Island, my pants were brown made up of leather from a few boars that I had killed. My boots were made of rubber from a couple Rubber Trees also known as the Ficus Elastica. I sighed softly as I picked up the pace to a slow jog (for me), of about fifteen miles an hour, with my stamina I should not have to stop for days on end, even if I do not follow the creek, through cities and towns are often built near water. So, I will continue to follow the creek, for the time being.

(Time skip: Three Days Later)

(Timothy's Point of View)

It has been nearly three days of non-stop jogging, day in, all night, and day out. I was not getting too tired but annoyed at the distance that I had to travel just to see someone, or anyone. The only person I could talk to was Wrath, and he did not have much insight for me besides just keep moving forward. So of course, I did what we had agreed on, always go forwards, never backwards.

I soon sensed a pair of people riding on two steeds. I sighed as I slowed down to a walk, Wrath was on me in his cloak form, I had the hood raised as if to keep me shaded, though I did it to more or less hide my face.

Soon I heard voices with my enhanced senses, "Nephew you must calm yourself."

Another voice said with a growl, "I know Uncle, but with every minute I am not chasing Him, is a minute that I can't get my Honor back!"

A few minutes later I saw them, one was an older man with a full white beard and a big pot belly, if I had to guess he was about fifty or sixty years old. The other was a young man, maybe a teenager, I guess maybe sixteen or seventeen, the boy also had a nasty scar over his left eye, it looked like a burn.

I called out to them, "Hello there."

The boy spun around quickly with his hands on his Dao swords, they were a type of dual broad swords. The Dual Broad Swords are moderately curved and single-edged, though often with a few inches of the leading back edge sharpened as well; the moderate curve allows them to be reasonably effective in the thrust. Hilts are canted, curving in the opposite direction as the blade, which improves handling in some forms of cuts and thrusts. A cord is was wrapped over the wood of the handle. The Dual Broad Swords also had specially shaped guards that allowed both blades to be sheathed in a single scabbard.

I growled slightly sensing slight danger.

The fat man said to me, "Greeting Stanger." He placed a firm hand on the boy's shoulder and said in a kind warm voice, "Nephew, be kind to our guest." The fat man said to me, "I am Mushy, and this is my Nephew Lee."

I calmed down slightly as I gave them a half bow, my eyes never leaving Lee, in case a tried something.

Mushy smiled warmly and said, "We were just about to set camp and have some tea, would you like some tea?"

I sighed softly and thought about it, I had nothing to lose, and it would be better than wandering alone for the foreseeable future. I gave him a nod and then said to him, "That does not sound like a bad idea." I smiled at him.

I frowned slightly and looked closely at them, I asked, "Where are you two from?"

Lee tensed slightly at that but did nothing but look to his elder for guidance.

Mushy smiled and said, "We are from the Earth Kingdom…"

I shook my head and said, "Strike one, I can see in your eyes, you are not from the Earth Kingdom… you look and feel like a Fire Bender, both of you do."

Lee growled and punched a fist at me making me dodge the flaming torrent, I growled and said, "I never said I wanted to fight! I do not care if you were anyone. I just hate being lied to!"

Mushy sighed and placed a hand on Lee's shoulder and said, "I am Iroh, the Dragon of the West."

Lee looked at his Uncle in shock, before he sighed softly, "Fine. I am Zuko, Prince of the Fire Nation."

I could tell they were telling the truth this time, I gave them a nod and said, "I am Timothy, I am a Wanderer. I have no place to go back to."

Zuko frowned and asked, "You do not hate us?"

I snorted and said, "Not all Fire Nation is evil. Not all Earth Kingdom is good. There is good and evil in every nation."

Iroh gave me a nod and said, "You are wise beyond your years." He smiled at me.

I smiled slightly and said, "I have learned from experience." I sighed softly and looked down.

Zuko asked me, "So how old are you?"

I asked him, "How old do I look?"

"Maybe Sixteen or Seventeen?" He guessed.

I sighed and said, "I am eighteen."

Iroh asked me this time, "How long have you been alone young man?"

I shrugged and said, "About ten or eleven years." I said truthfully.

Zuko's one good eye widen slightly at that, if barely.

I licked my lips nervously and asked them, "Is the offer of tea still open?"

Iroh smiled and said, "It is friend."

Zuko sighed as he slumped against a tree.

"What kind of tea would you like? We have Jasmine tea and Green tea." The fat man asked me.

I paused and said, "I like both teas, I will take which one you do not want." I smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

"Green Tea it is." He muttered as he placed some leaves in a metal kettle, he smiled and said, "You are most welcome."

I grinned at Zuko and asked him, "So do you want to spar?"

Zuko rolled his eyes and said to me, "We just met, and I am sure you are tired."

I shrugged and said, "I am still fresh." I pulled out a sword off of my back as I said, "I am always ready for a fight."

Zuko sighed annoyed and said to me, "Maybe tomorrow kid."

I sighed softly and said to the scarred teen, "I am your age Zuko."

A few minutes later the tea was ready.

The three of us sat in a circle around the fire, I sat a little further away from the flames, though I knew it could not kill me, hurt me, sure, but not kill me. Even Wrath would likely not be killed, only harmed slightly, but we would rather not risk it.

We all sipped tea and listened to Iroh tell some sort of Fire Nation story, about a Phoenix, a Dragon and a Man, the First Man and the First Dragon, the Phoenix gave one of its down feathers to the man and dragon, they were like brothers, the dragon learned to breath out fire from its mouth and nostrils, the man learned from the dragon and learned how to produce fire from within and made it come out of their hands and feet, though a few were able to mimic the fire-breath. One day the Dragon flew up to the Phoenix and asked why he leaves, but the Phoenix asked the Dragon why he left the Man alone.

I watched the fire as it seemed to dance and sway with Iroh's story. I asked him, "Is this a real story?"

Zuko frowned and snorted.

Iroh chuckled softly and said to me, "That is for the scholars to debate, after all that is the story of the first fire bender."

"I thought the Lion-Turtle was the one that gave man bending." I said calmly.

Zuko said to me with a snort, "They are a myth."

Iroh chuckled softly and said, "They are more than Myth, but they are, or should we say he is one of a kind."

Zuko frowned and said to his Uncle, "You can't be serious! No one have seen one!"

I thought to myself, 'I did…'

Iroh smiled and said to his nephew, "Close your eyes."

Zuko sighed and closed his eyes listening to Iroh.

"Do you still believe that I am here, even if I am silent." Iroh said.

Zuko scoffed and said to him, "I know you are real."

"How about a blind person, how can they know what color is? How can you explain sound to the deaf?" I asked Zuko.

Iroh smiled brightly at me and said to me, "Very good illustration Timothy."

Zuko sighed and said, "You can't."

"But sound and color exist, explain it to someone who never have seen or heard it." I said with a small smile, hoping he would see my point of view.

"Fair point." He replied with another sigh.

The three of us sat in silence enjoying the quiet of the night.

Well here is chapter 4, I hoped you liked it.

I am not sure of WHEN this takes place, I am thinking after season one, but before they picked up Toph.
