A/N: Well since I have a lot of free time today ill try to write 2 more chapters. I would I have decided I am naming the brothers next chapter. Thanks for reading and shoot me a review telling me what you think.
I woke up as my face was splashed with water. " Woah wait whats going on?" I shouted.
"You passed out and missed dinner, but my dad told me to wake you up for breakfast." Jinora said as she threw more water on me.
"Ok enough with the water already, im awake." I gave my best annoyed look to which Jinora shot back her own, it was good, infact it made me break eye contact. I threw the covers off of me and Jinora turned away quickly. I looked down and saw I was still wearing my shorts but my shirt was gone and I could see my scar ridden torso. I dont know who I was in the past but I could tell id had a hard life.
Jinora stood and hurried to the door. "Your shirt is over here by the door, come out whenever you're ready." With that she left. I walked over to the door and found my shirt folded neatly ontop of my ankle wraps. I turned to try to find a mirror to look at myself and what I found was a mirror made out of a large crystal that had been smoothed and polished till it had a very reflective surface. I examined my scars and from what I could see the largest one on my chest was from my left collarbone down to my waist and about an inch wide, it looked like a burn.
"I dont think Jinora told you to check yourself out NEW GUY." I turned to see a young teenage boy leaned against the doorframe.
"I was looking at my scars, seeing as I dont remember getting them I was hoping something woud come back to me." I answered him, to which he laughed.
"Oh thats all? Well alright then come on breakfast is going to get cold your brother is already there." He said as he turned and headed down the hall. I threw my shirt on and tied my ankle wraps and followed him down the hall.
"So NEW GUY." The way he said it made it seem like he was teasing me. "Whats the deal with that huge crocodile skin and all that meat that my dad made me help him carry back last night?"
I looked at him. "Carry back? I thought- Oh right we passed out." I started as i remembered that I collapsed just seconds after my brother.
"Jinora said as soon as you guys hit the floor my dad rushed you over here so my grandma katara could check on you, as soon as my dad found out you were Ok he grabbed me and we went and picked it up. Boy was that heavy Oogi could barely manage to stay in the air so we had to air-bend to help him stay afloat. Did you guys really run for thirty minutes carrying that stuff? Rina said she say you guys jumping over logs and stuff, thats so cool you guys are like really strong huh?" He rambled on until we reached the dining room where everyone was seated including people I didnt know.
"Thank you Meelo, young man would you please take a seat next to your brother." The old man gestured to his across the table to where my brother was sitting legs crossed and hands folded in his lap.
"Woah being patient for once in your life." I said as i realised I had remebered something from our past.
"Yeah and you're late for food thats new too." He said as he realised he remembered too.
We looked at eachother stunned and we must have been standng that way for a while because an elderly woman placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a warm smile. I took my seat and the old woman took hers to the left of the man.
"I am Katara and this is my son Tenzin and this is his family." She said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Yes I am Tenzin and this is my wife Pema and these are our children, you already know Jinora, and my son Meelo who you met earlier. This is my daughter Ikki and my other son Rohan." Tenzin said as he pointed them out.
"And of course you know me." Rina shouted. "My mother is Kya, Tenzins sister. Im here visiting and training with my grandma Katara to be a healer." Rina gleamed proudly after saying that.
"Though we still dont know your names my mother has found out some interesting things about you two and also we have sent word for Avatar Korra to come here." Tenzin said.
"Not to sound rude but I think the food is getting cold." My brother said flatly.
"Oh right well dig in everyone." Pema said as she grabbed her bowl.
Breakfast was great, Pema must have used quite a bit of the crocodile because almost everydish had some in it except for Tenzins food which was vegetarian. When everyone had finished I excused myself to the room I woke up in and my brother followed.
"You found scars too didnt you." He said and I headed towards the mirror.
"Yeah alot of them but the biggest one looks like a burn."I said running my hand down the left side of my chest.
"I have a huge scar running down the left side of my chest too but it looks like there are pieces of rocks in there." He said as he placed a hand over his heart. "Rina saw it when she woke me up. I havent talked to her since."
"Yeah Jinora saw mine too and I havent talked to her since either." I said as I sat down next to the mirror as my brother leaned against the wall next to me. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." I said and the door opened and Katara stood there.
"Mind if I talk to you boys?" She said as she sat down at the small table that was in the corner of the room.
"Hey miss Katara what do you want to talk about?" My brother asked.
"Oh please just call me Katara young man. I would like to talk to you about the the scars on your chests specifically the large one on your left sides." She said as she poured herself a cup of tea.
"What about them? Meelo told me that you checked on us and everything was all right." I said looking from my brother to Katara.
"Well not exactly true. You two are physically Ok but I would like to try and heal up your scars and use them to teach Katerina and Jinora. They are almost at the last stages of their training and I think this will be the perfect opportunity for them. I came to ask you two if that would be Ok with me showing them how to heal scars using sacred water from the pond of the moon spirits." Katara said as she sipped her tea.
My brother looked at me and I thought for a moment. "Well Im fine with it but I do wonder if it is something important or something like that." I said with a sigh and my brother nodded.
"I understand. I have scars that hold sentimental values. Think about it. It may uncover somethings about how you got them." Katara said as she finished her tea. "Until you decide there are two young ladies that are eavesdropping that i have to take care of." Squeeks were heard on the otherside of the door folled by retreating footsteps.
"Well thats one thing we have in common." I said to Katara as my brother laughed with me.
"Katara, is there a place that I can practice my bending?" My brother asked to which I chimed in.
"Oh yeah I would like to practice aswell."
Katara stood "Very well follow me I would like to see your bending styles. From what Jinora and Katerina told me this should be very interesting." Katara walked down the hall and we followed her. After a couple minutes we ended up on a wide open plateau with a small stream next to it.
"Here you are boys. Dont worry about making a mess. Have fun." Katara said as she walked over to the observing area.
I took a deep breath and began my stretches. I went into a peaceful state and was in my own world. I was completely oblivious to the training my brother was doing on the other side off the plataeu. I began doing simple air-bending moves flowing like the wind and then abruptly changed to strong earth-bending moves. I kicked up a rock the size of my fist and punched it back down into the ground and air-bent dust in a tornado around me and bent all the particles of sand to a dead stop as the wind still blew. I gathered the sand into my fists and coated my hands with it. I bent up a large slab of rock and began striking it with my sand covered hands just enough for the sand to make contact and slowly erode the stone. I was so focused in my movements that seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours until eventually i stopped and looked at the stone which i carved into a human shape and polished it to a mirror like surface.
I broke my trance and looked at myself in the stone and what I saw frightened me. It was me but my one of my eyes was different and my clothes were tattered and torn blood ran from my mouth and a cut above my left eye. My right arm was completely encased in a strange colored stone and my left arm radiated what looked like a silver aura. The image roared and knocked me to the ground, I quickly scrambled to my feet and ran from it. I ran till I reached the other side of the island and sat down. I shivered and bent a rock dome over myself trying to calm down. Seconds later I hear someone stop next to me and they must have water-bent and froze water because it sounded like ice breaking.
I sat there for what felt like hours until I opened a hole in the rock to see that it was now dark outside. I bent the rock back to earth and looked to my side only to see my brother melt the ice and evaporate the water.
"I saw myself, well a different version, but it was still me. It was terrifing, I looked like I was in the middle of a horrible battle, I had cuts and bruises and blood poured off of me." My brother said as he reached up and rubbed his forhead.
"I saw something similar." I said using my left hand to grip my right arm. I shook my head. "Hey its pretty late we should head back." My brother nodded and we turned only to come face to face with a two women we hadnt seen yet.
"We finally found them Lin." The younger woman said to the older one.
"If Tenzin is telling the truth Korra they can bend two elements. Should we test them?" The older one said.
"Normally I would say yes but this time all we need to do is bring them back to the house." The young one said. "Hey boys come on everyone is worried and looking for you." She motioned to us and turned to walk back.
"Are you Avatar Korra?" My brother asked.
"Yes I am, but thats not important right now for now lets just head back to the house." She said not turning around or stopping to look back at us. I looked to my brother and nodded and we followed her and the older woman. I took some time getting back to the house and by that time the sky was only light up by the moon high over head. Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, Rohan and Rina were all standing in a circle talking when we walked up.
"Well Tenzin we found them and Korra actually decided not to test them right away." The older lady said.
"Thank you Lin and you too Korra you usually like to test yourself agains strong benders." Tenzin said. "Boys let me introduce you to Cheif Lin Beifong and Avatar Korra."
I waved a quickly followed by a shy smile while my brother put a hand up and simply gave a "Hey."
I palmed my forhead and Katara laughed from the doorway. "Sokka used to do that all the time." She smiled and waved to us. "Im sure you boys are hungry so come on in and eat, you can tell us where you've been this whole time over dinner."
No body questioned Katara as they all shuffled inside while My brother and I waited till we were the last. "Should we tell them what we saw?" I asked.
He looked at me. "Maybe but we sometime to think about it for now lets go eat." so we headed inside.
