They were in the middle of a raging, fierce storm, one that had appeared out of nowhere. The clouds were as dark grey as volcanic smoke, and the rain pelted down as hard as rocks. Lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the world for a single second.
"Aang!" The young girl screamed again, as she nearly lost her grip on the saddle.
"Hold on! Don't let go!"
At his shouted back reply, he glanced back and noticed she tightened her grip on the saddle. The message was clear. I wasn't planning to let go.
The wind and rain worked together, knocking and jolting the two of them from each and every side. They both screamed as they were forced towards the roiling ocean below them. They hit the water, hard, and went under within seconds.
He felt the shock of the cold water hit him. Then he turned around, worried for his companion. He saw she lost her grip and came out and off the saddle, gasping with shock, the bubbles erupting from her mouth. She reached out, to try to grab a hold of the side but it was just out of her reach.
The blackness was closing in, and closing in fast. She reached out for the saddle once more, to try again, and he saw the moment she gave up. It was all over now. He felt undeniable fear and anger.
He lunged out, and latched onto her wrist, and pulled her in.
She looked, and he noticed that she was stunned in awe and shock. Aang had hold of her, and he wasn't letting go. He couldn't. He felt a hot, rush of energy encase him, and with sudden strength, swung her back, and into the saddle behind him.
Then without effort, sat in the lotus position, clamped his fists together, and a sphere of air expanded all around them.
Then, he knew no more, as the dark closed in.
