Destinies

"HAHAHA!!!!!!" That cheerful laugh rang through the entire temple. It was so full of life and joy. You had to wonder what was so wonderful to cause such laughter. One girl knew what was causing the laugh and she shook her head as she began to follow the sound.

The girl had midnight black hair and sea green eyes. Her skin was tanned a deep tan color and she was currently wearing her traditional monk robes, that were an eggshell color, even though she wasn't a monk, she was only fourteen years of age. She went through the corridor of the temple and walked to the edge of the balcony. She looked out into the horizon to see the tops of the tallest mountains known in the north.

"WHOO HOO!!!" The girl looked down and saw just what she expected. Her closest and best friend was soaring the skies on a white air glider. Next to her friend was an interesting butterfly creature also known as Beautifly.

"Hey May!!!!!" The girl called. Her friend known as May looked up at her friend on the balcony and grinned. She shifted her glider so that it brought her upwards and when she reached the balcony she jumped away from the glider landing nimbly on her feet. The glider came down and May caught it in her hand. Her Beautifly perched itself on her head.

"What's up Becky?" May asked as she straightened out her white and tan robes. May looked at her friend in the eye letting her sapphire eyes meet Becky's sea green ones. May had her brunette hair in two high pigtails with white ribbon that wrapped around each ponytail six times. She was also fourteen.

"Your mom wants you." Becky explained. May nodded and the two of them dashed into the huge temple.

That temple was known as the air temple. Where the air manipulators would reside. They were the ones that made up the myth. They were the ones that stayed secluded from the rest of the world by hiding the temple far up in the clouds. They were the people of Vayu.

Becky and May ran down each hall of the temple. They swerved and skidded to stops whenever they believed they went in the wrong direction or they were going to crash into someone. The temple was so large due to the fact that every air manipulator resided there. There was always a place for a family.

May and Becky turned a corner and crashed into someone making a three person collision.

"Now where are you two rushing off to?" May looked up and immediately recognized the person they had knocked over.

"Sorry Mikiko." May said standing up and bowing with her hands folded prayer style. Becky quickly shuffled to her feet and copied her friends actions. Mikiko smiled and waved her hand. A sudden burst of wind sent both of them flying and they landed on their butts.

"No apologies needed Maya. You and Rebecca should get a move on." Mikiko instructed wagging her finger at the two pre-teens. The both nodded giggling.

Mikiko was one of the six temple elders who held some of the greatest skill and power in all of Vayu. She was an elderly women but she always loved to play especially with her two favorite girls; May and Becky.

"Maxwell Maple! Stop that this instant." A woman in advanced looking white robes ordered. She had brunette hair just like May and cobalt eyes that were now shimmering with annoyance. Her name was Caroline.

"C'mon mom! You let May use her talent why can't I use mine?" A little boy about ten years old asked. He had deep navy hair and onyx eyes. He was currently bouncing around in an air bubble that was literally made of air. Caroline shook her head.

"Your sister is more experienced then you and she doesn't do it in the temple!" Caroline snapped. Maxwell or Max for short sighed in defeat and made the air bubble disappear. "Thank you." Caroline sighed.

The door suddenly slammed open and May came flying into the home on her glider. Beautifly was close behind and Rebecca came in giggling.

"I found her for you Mrs. Maple!" Becky said pointing to May who was circling the ceiling.

"What were you saying about May never using her talent in the temple?" Max asked raising an eyebrow. Caroline shook her head then lifted her hands in the air only to bring them down quickly. In doing so May was pushed to the floor by an air current. "SEE! You're doing it too!" Max whined. Caroline ignored him.

"May, the elders wish to see you." Caroline said with her face becoming serious.

"What'd I do?" May asked frowning slightly.

"Just come." Caroline instructed as she headed to the door. "Maxwell, Rebecca, you two come too." Max and Becky obeyed and followed Caroline out the door. Caroline led them through hall after hall before coming to a door. It had no knob or even a knocker. This door could only be opened by a true air manipulator. Caroline brought her arms back then pushed forward. You could see the intense winds build up so much pressure that the door opened slowly.

It was finally opened and the elders could be seen. They were all in robes similar to everybody else's; with the same white or light tan color but they seemed more elegant. The first elder was easy to recognize; it was Mikiko. The second was a fat man named Balto, the third was a skinny tall women named Xi, the fourth was another man who was very short named Milshito, then another women who was fat named Barshita and the last was who May was very familiar with; it was her father Norman.

"May Haruka Maple, please step forth." Balto instructed. May gulped and walked to the center of the large room. She felt all the eyes of the elders on her but she felt safe that her father was up there too.

"You, my child have been watched for so long." Barshita said.

"Since birth you had such an interesting aura that made you special." Milshito continued.

"The way you acted never reflected your significance to life as we know it." Xi said

"You are playful, kind hearted, naïve, and young." Mikiko said. May smiled.

"But you have the greatest responsibility of all the people who exist today on this earth." Norman said. His voice sounded much more serious then when he usually spoke to May and that made her feel uncomfortable.

"You know of the cycle May?" Xi asked. May nodded.

"Well then you should also understand that they cycle has no place for our element due to the fact that it would throw everything off." Balto said. May nodded once again.

"The cycle is in jeopardy and only someone outside that cycle can restore the balance before we all lose what we hold dear." Milshito said

"There is an evil out there on the earth that wishes to destroy that cycle for selfish gain." Barshita said shaking her head.

"His name is Giovanni. He is a native fire manipulator he is also emperor of Pao, but he wishes to poses all the talents so that he may conquer each region. One by one." Mikiko said, her face falling.

"There had always been a person from Vayu; a person who is outside the cycle who is the one to restore and keep balance. That person is called the Keeper of the Balance of the cycle…..or Balance keeper for short or even Balancer of the cycle." Xi said.

"Did you ever know, May, that the last air manipulator to do this was named Haruka. You are her reincarnation." Mikiko said.

"That makes you, May Haruka Maple, The Balancer of the cycle." Norman said lower his head slightly. May eyes widened in shock.

"W-What…" She stuttered softly.

"With this title you must stop the threat that is upon the world." Barshita said.

"Giovanni plans to obtain the power of each element by acquiring the source. You know of these don't you May?" Balto said. May shook her head. Her face still looked shocked and she felt rather upset that they didn't even seem to care. Only Mikiko had a look of concern. Norman just concealed it.

"The source of each element is a talisman that exists in each region. Each talisman gives one the ability to obtain the talent of that region if you are not from that regions decent. Those talisman are thought to be what caused talents to exist today. Each one was hidden by the great elders before the ones that exist today. Giovanni is setting out to find each Talisman." Xi said.

"The only region that has an idea of where their talisman is is us. We have hidden it ourselves for safe keeping." Milishito explained.

"You have to find these talisman before anyone else takes procession of them, if you fail, the world will cease to exist." Norman said.

"WHAT!?!?! I'M JUST A KID!!!!!! I CAN"T DO THIS!!!!!" May shouted as tears streamed down her face. She lowered her head and clenched her fists.

"You are the only one who can seal away the talismans so that they can never be used for evil. It is your duty." Norman said. He stood up and looked at his daughter blankly. She looked back still crying. "Are you willing to let the world suffer for what you don't want to do? Such selfish desires are not worth life…..no go."

"D-Daddy…." May sobbed.

"GO!" He ordered. May flinched over the tone of his voice and ran out the room. Rebecca followed her quickly, crying a little herself. Caroline stared at her husband as he sat back down.

"I hope you know what you just did!" Caroline said before leaving with Max.

"You had to Norman…." Xi said.

"All we can do is hope…" Balto muttered. Mikiko closed her eyes and lowered her head. A lone tear fell into her lap.

"C'mon May….e-everything will be okay." Becky said stroking May's back as she sobbed into her pillow.

"NO! Becky do you know what just happened!? I have the well being of billions of people on my shoulder and I haven't even finished school yet!"

"May….."

"Just go….I want to sleep."

Becky sighed and left the room. May shut her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.

May's Dream…..

May was floating in darkness. She was cold and alone. Nothing about where she was felt safe or comforting.

You'll destroy us all….

"Hello!?" May called out into the darkness.

You only care about you….you don't care that all life depends on you…

"What!? NO!!"

Everyone will die…

"NO!!"

And it will be all your fault….

End…

"NOOOOO!!!!!!" May screeched as she sat up in bed. She darted her eyes around panting heavily. She was saturated with cold sweat and she was shaking. "It…was…all…a…dream" She said clutched her chest. Beautiful heard her scream and fluttered over to perch itself on her head.

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

May's room shook slightly making her fall off her bed with a thud. She got up and looked out the window to see what had happened and that's when she saw that an explosion had happened in the lower parts of the temple. She saw the fire blazing and she could make out the forms of people running into the temple.

May ran out her room with her heart pounding. She saw her mother and father heading for the door and she ran to them.

"No May…" Norman said pushing her back.

"What's happening!!!???" May asked. Caroline grabbed May in a hug and Norman did too.

"Take care of Max…." Caroline said with tears streaming down her face. "Your father and I love you."

"Mom! What's going on?!" May asked once again with tears streaming down her face as well.

"May….just take Max and leave the temple." Norman instructed. "We love you…." He said choking back tears. With that both of her parents left the room.

"Mom! Dad!...please……don't leave me…" May said as she fell to the floor. She held her head and sobbed like she hadn't before. Another explosion sounded shaking the temple again.

"May?" May lifted her head to see her brother standing in the doorway of his room. "What's happening?" May then remembered what her father said and grabbed her glider. She also reached for a sack of gold coins. 'Something tells me we're gonna need this…'

"Max grab your glider!" May ordered. He nodded and went back into his room. He came out with a blue glider that looked like a smaller version of May's. She grabbed his hand then went out the door, Beautifly quickly followed. She dragged him down a hall when May crashed into someone.

"May!"

"Becky!"

The two friends embraced and May noticed that Becky had been crying as well.

"What's happening?" May asked her. Becky's eyes shut tight.

"T-The temple is under attack. Giovanni is here…" Becky said. "My parents went to go help fight him and his people."

May grit her teeth.

"Becky take Max and get out of here." May instructed.

"But May….w-what about you?"

"Just do this for me Becky. I'll be okay." May said with a forced smile. Becky looked unsure for a second but then nodded. May smiled and dashed back in the direction she had come from. She went all through out the temple until she got to the elders room. May looked at the large door and swallowed. It was a hard door to open if you weren't strong enough. May put down her glider then pulled her hands back. She pushed them forward and a gust of wind hit the door. It didn't move a bit. May put more energy and power into it but still nothing. Beautifly saw her owner struggling so it began to flap its wings with more power letting out a gust of her own. The two strong winds made the door slowly creak open until May had enough room to enter.

She looked around and gasped in horror. The room was completely destroyed. Fires were scattered about the room. On the floor was what May wished she never saw. Dozens of burned and lifeless bodies of the people who stood up to defend the temple; people she knew. She saw a shadow jump towads the window and she tried to follow. The shadow opened a palm and fire streamed out of its hand hitting May on the arm, that gave it the chance to escape. May held her now burnt arm in pain and searched around the room; then finally spotted her parents.

"MOM! DAD!" She shook each one of their bodies but got no reaction. Her tears began to pour more as she choked on sobs The pain she felt in her arm was no match for the pain she felt in her heart. "Mom…..Dad…..I-I told you not to leave me…." May let herself cry openly when she heard a groan. She looked around and saw a body moving slightly. She quickly ran to the person and gasped. "Mikiko?"

"May….my little blossom….so good to see….you." Mikiko said; her voice was weak and faint.

"This is all my fault!" May cried. Mikiko lifted her hand and stroked May's face.

"You did not cause this…..Giovanni came for the talisman….."

"And now he has it!"

"No May…" Mikiko said taking May's hand and opening it. She placed a rock cut in the shape of an octagon with the Chinese symbol for air on it in her palm and closed Mays hand around it. "You have it….." With that said Mikiko breathed her last breathe.

"No! Mikiko! NO!!!!" She screamed closing her eyes. The symbol on the talisman in May's hand began to glow and the talisman completely disappeared in her hand. Her eyes snapped open and they were glowing an eerie white. The winds in the room began to pick up and became dangerously harsh. Beautifly was thrown around by the winds and debris flew all around May. (A/N: Uh oh Avatar state status….)

Becky ran down the halls of the temple with Max by her side. She did leave the temple before like May had told her to, but she came back for May and to see what had happened. Giovanni had gotten rid of every single Vayu resident in the entire temple. Including children.

Becky felt frustrated that she was able to survive and her other friends had to suffer and she just prayed that she didn't lose May. She ran to the door of the elder's room to see that it was already open and harsh winds were coming from the room. Becky peaked her head inside to see May standing there with her eyes glowing white and a white aura illuminating around her body.

"May? MAY!!!!"

"It's all my fault…..my fault…..my fault…." May said over and over but her voice sound different. It sounded like a mixture of her voice and another persons.

"Becky what's wrong with May?" Max asked over the roar of the winds.

"I don't know!" Becky answered shielding her eyes.

"MY FAULT!!!!!!!!" May screamed.

"MAY STOP!!!!!!" Becky ordered. May didn't listen. She just kept up the horrible winds. Becky began to walk to May but had to use her own manipulation ability to get past the power May was releasing. Becky finally got into the reach of May and grabbed her. Tears were pouring from both their eyes. "May….please!" Becky begged as she gave May a hug.

The winds finally calmed down and everything was normal. Mays aurora had disappeared and her eyes were back to their normal sapphire blue. The talisman appeared in May's hand again.

"Its okay May….Its okay." Becky said letting May cry on her shoulder. "This isn't your fault."

May, Max and Becky stood on the balcony of the now scorched air temple of Vayu. May looked at the talisman in her hand and shoved it in her pocket. Her arm was wrapped where the large burn had been created.

"So…..this is how it has to be?" Becky said breaking the silence.

"We lost everything." Max said with a hint of anger in his voice.

"I know what I have to do now…" May sighed as she opened her glider. Both Max and Becky looked at her a little confused. Beautifly landed on May's head making her giggle. "This is it Beautifly! You and me together! We'll live up to the legend and save the world!" She said with a smile. "I at least owe it to our people to do what I was chosen to do"

"And you're not going to do it alone!" Becky said opening her tan glider.

"We got your back sis!" max said opening his blue one. May smiled.

"Thanks guys! Now, Let's go restore the balance of the cycle!"

Whew! That was so cool to write! As you can see (And I did mention this many times before) This is very similar to Avatar!
