Chapter 9: The Village of The Sea Wall

Kirana watched the clouds drift by lazily, without a care in the world. She looked at the shapes of the clouds and found a castle, a river and a flame. Smiling she turned to Aurora, the Water Tribe girl who had friends on Temple Island. "Can you bend clouds?"

Aurora turned to the Avatar, her braid flapping in the breeze. "Yes. Watch." Aurora stood up and walked to the edge of Bree (Aira's flying bison) and balanced herself. Kirana studied her stance and stood up. Standing next Aurora she would be able to watch her bending better. Jo stayed where he was. Observing.

Aurora moved her arms outward in a circle and back in. She kept doing it and Kirana watched as the nearest cloud began to swirl until it looked like the icing on a cake. Kirana smiled and said, "Can I try it?"

Aurora shook her head. "No. Even though you'll probably master water faster then me, it will also be hardest as water is fire's opposite."

A smile spread across Kirana's face. "I'm counting on it."

Camp was made in a clearing not far from the Village of the Sea Wall. Aurora, Jo, and Caitie all ate meat while Kirana and Aira ate dried fruit. Air Benders didn't eat meat so Kirana was trying to get used to it.

Aurora led the Avatar to the beach. She had been teaching everyone about the South Pole Water Tribe traditions, now she was to teach the Avatar how to Waterbend.

"We will start with the stances, so you know what to do when we reach the South Pole." Kirana nodded and stood next to her.

They practiced stances until the moon had almost risen to its peek. Kirana now knew the stances for several different moves, and had each one perfected. But she kept getting a growing sense of déjà vu.

There was a crunching sound and Kirana turned around, slipping into a FirebendingWaterbending stance. "Oh, it's just you Jo."

Jo smiled. "It's time you two came back to camp." Kirana nodded. Aurora headed off ahead of them. Jo kissed Kirana and they walked back hand in hand.

The next day Aurora and Katie went to the village. Katie lived there and Aurora was a popular person with the people because she was so outgoing and nice. But Kirana's growing déjà vu kept her on edge. And then, that night, she had a vision.

She was running, two bundles held in her arms, the wind at her feet. Cries rang out from behind her, the sound of an angry mob. Once she was far enough ahead of them she stopped, panting. She carefully placed the bundles on the ground and turned to the village.

She took her stance and punched the air. The ground rose high and spread all the way around the village, creating a wall of rock solid as metal, for she had compressed the earth.

She nodded with satisfaction and picked up her precious bundles again, and turned to the woods, knowing it wouldn't be long until the village Earthbenders broke through the wall.

"Harku, you made it," she said with relief to the tall man approaching her.

"Are they safe," he asked. She nodded.

"But you must hurry on your way, they will be coming soon. Please don't say anything I need you to teach them and raise them." She forward and kissed him. "Now go."

Harku looked at her sadly. "Until I see you again." Then he left, taking their twins with him.

She turned, knowing that her twins were safe; she would be able to face the villagers.

Kirana woke up to feel her limbs being held. She immediately went limp to see if her captors would loosen her grip. The ones holding her legs did. She kicked her legs straight up, freeing her legs, and opened her eyes.

Two shocked, and one bleeding face, looked at her in shock. Kirana jerked back as she realized she'd just nailed Aurora in the face and almost gave Aira a heat attack. Her screaming shoulder muscles brought her thoughts back. "You can let go Jo." Jo let go of her arms and backed up. "Sorry about your nose Aurora," she said, moving into a sitting position. Aurora nodded and poured some water onto a hand. Kirana watched in surprise as Aurora's hand glowed blue and as she put her hand on her nose. She immediately healed and washed the blood away.

Kirana looked at her amazed. "How did you do that?"

Aurora smiled. "It is something I learned by accident. I can heal with Waterbending."

Jo touched her shoulder and asked, "What happened."

Kirana looked at the fire instead of facing everyone, and told them about her vision. There was nothing to say after that so she went back to bed.
