Dinner was more of the crocodile and rice and a bunch of other things. We remained silentand hesitant during dinner and Katara noticed this and stopped Jinora and Rina from asking us any questions. After we all finished, Katara and Korra stood.
"Boys would you help us clean up the table and bring the dishes to the kitchen?" She said but it sounded more like a command. I stood swiftly while my brother slowly made his way to his feet. We gathered all the dishes and headed into the kitchen.
"Just set that near the sink." Katara said. After we set the dishes down Korra gestured to two empty seats at the small table she and Katara were seated at. "I saw the mirrors you two created yours made from stone and yours made from ice." She said pointing to me then my brother. "What did you see in those mirrors?" She leaned forward and put her chin on her hands.
I looked down not knowing what to say but my brother spoke up. "I saw a myself but it looked like i was in the middle of a terrible battle I had cuts and bruises and the weird thing was my right eye was a bloody red and not because blood ran into it rather it was pure red on its own. My right arm was covered by a dark red flame and my left arm was covered in dark ice." He leaned back in the chair. "My reflection roared at me as if trying to get me to fight him." He leaned back and put his head on the table. "It scared me, chilled me to my core."
I looked at him then at Korra. "I saw the same thing except my left eye was pure silver and my right arm was covered in a strange black metal and my left arm was surrounded by a silvery light. I was afraid that my reflection would break free so I ran and didnt stop till there was no where left to run and I closed my self in stoneand tried to calm down. It took me until dark to calm down." I sighed and shifted.
"Katara told me that she had asked you if she could use some scars you had to try and teach Rina how to heal them and complete her training. Could you show me them?" She sounded genuinely curious. I just took it as an order from the Avatar even though it wasnt and by the time I started to pull off my shirt my brother had already thrown his on the table and stood. I pulled my shirt off and set it on the table and stood next to my brother. Korra stood and walked over to us. She place a hand on both of our scars and closed her eyes and when she opened the the were glowing. She shook for a minute before pulling her hands away and shaking her head as her eyes returned to normal.
"NO!" She shouted. "Thats impossible they cant be from Avatar Wans time. They lived 10,000 years ago! They are from the that time." She turned to face us. "Sai-ryu and Hinoka, Stone Wind and Fire River."
As soon as she said that my mind started to hurt, it felt like my skull was splitting. My brother screamed and I followed suit. The pain was so intense I lost consiousness and the last image I saw was a young man with long shaggy hair and a goatee standing next to what looked like a human lemur.
I blinked my eyes repeatedly and sat up rubbing my head. "Oh that hurt so bad." I tried to put my hands to my sides but found I couldnt seeing as the were tied and so were my feet. To my left my brother still slept his hands and feet tied aswell.
"Finally awake I see. About time its been almost a week." A commanding female voice said.
"Ive heard that voice before. Chief Lin?" I said searching around the room only to see her standing next to the door. She walked over to me and crouched.
"Now Avatar Korra seems to think that you two are from 10,000 years ago and that spirits were inside of your bodies. I dont know but I trust her so when she asked if I could keep watch over you while she consulted with her past lives I had to accept. I have nothing against you two for now but if you are evil spirits I will take you out no questions asked. Got it?" She said pushing her finger into my forhead. I nodded and put my head down.
To my left my brother stirred in his sleep and talked. "Wan you crack me up. Aye-Aye come on tell me he's joking." Then he mumbled and turned over. Lin heard him and pounced on him shaking him awake.
"Tell me what you just said again! You said Wan didnt you!" She said as she bent her metal and picked him up pressing him against the wall.
"Yes he did." Korra said from the doorway. "It seems that they were friends of Avatar Wan and helped him on his journey." She entered the room. "Lin let them go." Lin bend the metal off of our hand and feet and released my brother from the wall.
"So you know something about us please tell me." I said grabbing her hands and pleading.
"I know your names and where you are from although it dont know how you got here." She said looking into my eyes. "You are the Stone Wind also known as Sai-Ryu and your brother is The Fire River or Hinoka. Avatar Wan found you roaming the spirit wilds when you were younger. You held the power of air and your brother held the power of water, you had no idea who you were."
I stood "So was Avatar Wan a man with long shaggy black hair and he had a goatee?" I racked my brain trying to remember a man I had forgotten.
"Yes he was. He was the first Avatar." Korra helped me to my feet. "And if you were a friend of Avatar Wans you are a friend of mine." She bowed. "Thank you for helping him."
I sighed and bowed back. "No thank you for finding out about us I dont know how long it would have been for our memories to come back."
"Hinoka huh? Yeah that sounds about right. So im The Fire River right?" He said as he fire-bent a a flame that lookes like a winding river.
"Sai-Ryu. The Stone Wind." I smiled. "Yes that is my name he gave it to me." I closed my eyes and my mind flooded back to a time where I wandered a forest until I found a boy who looked younger than me crying and hudled up next to a tree. I snapped my eyes open. "A memory I remembered one!" I sat down and focused my mind. The image came back.
(I had been walking aroud for at least a day after the lion turtle gave me the power of air. I hadnt asked for it but he insisted I accept it. I heard the sounds of someone crying and went to check it out. There he was a boy not much younger than myself crying. I walked over to him and held my hand out.
"You must be scared being all alone right? Come with me that way we will both have company." The boy looked up and wiped his eyes. He grabbed my hand and I helped him up.
"Lets head out and look for some food." I said turning away from him. "Well whats your name?"
He sniffled "I dont know. How about you?"
I sighed. "Not a clue so why dont you just call me brother and ill call you brother. Deal?"
He smiled and we started walking.)
I opened my eyes to see Jinora right infront of my face with her eyes closed and leaning in. "Why hello there Jinora."
She opened her eyes and froze. I laughed and stood. "What were you doing?" She blushed and ran to the door.
"I was suppossed to get you and let you know your bath is ready and then after that dinner will be ready." And with that she ran off. 'Bath aye do I stink that bad?' I thought and to a wiff of my pits. "Yup. Time for a bath." I said with a chuckle and headed to it.
I rubbed my hair dry and wrapped the towel around my waist and entered my room. There was a box with my name on it so I opened it and inside was two sets of clothes, one a more formal brown suit complete with undershirt, jacket, tie, dress pants, and nice socks which thought would make greak ankle wraps. The other outfit was a crocodile skin set of exactly the same formal suit combo. There was a note inside [Please wear one of these to dinner tonight.] I laughed and put on the brown suit and tore the socks to make the wraps I wanted. I looked was about to look into the mirror when I stopped myself. 'Not this time Ill just ask someone how I look.' I thought to myself.
I opened my door to see Meelo reaching for the handle. "There you are hurry up we have guests. Hey Sai-Ryu looking good man." He gave me a wink and rushed off.
"Strange kid." I thought aloud as I headed down the hall to the dining room. When I got there the only people seated were Katara, Korra, Tenzin, Jinora, and my brother Hinoka.
"Sai-Ryu, glad you could join us Brother" Hinoka said and I palmed my forhead when I saw that he was wearing a crocodile skin suit. "You like it huh? Didnt they make you one too. I thought we needed a suit just incase so I asked Tenzin if he knew some one who could make them. All I had to do was give them any extra skin and they made them along with another more boring regular suit. I let them use me as their canvas and had them shorten and widen your suits." He cracked a huge smile and nodded.
"And when did you have time to do that?" I asked wondering how he had time for all that.
"Well you were in that wierd meditaty position for about 4 days. So I had time." He said counting fingers.
"FOUR DAYS!" I shouted and fell to my butt. Jinora flinched and Hinoka laughed.
"Brother please sit with us I would like to meet these guest I keep hearing about." He rubbed his hands together as I took my seat.
"Where is everyone else?" I asked. Tenzin cleared his throat.
"They are entertaining our guests until you got here and I suspect Meelo will be bringing them right about now." He said as the doors opened revealing two men. One wore a police Uniform with a red scarf and the other a fancy green suit.
"Mako, Bolin please take a seat." I was stunned and I slowly turned my head to my brother whos eyes were buldged and his mouth was open. 'So we finally meet them. Mako and Bolin.'
A/N: About the names Sai-Ryu is an adapted translation of Stone Wind and Hinoka is one of Fire River hence why I chose them. Let me know what you think.
