(A/N: Hey guys! This is AHTRA's 3rd chapter, it's short but relevant to the rest of the story (you'll see why))

As Monk Hairi walked on, I gripped Daitchi's hand. I knew it was irrational, but a nervous panic was blossoming in me.

Daitchi sensed it, "Breathe, Hana," he said as he led me down the path Monk Hairi was walking on.

I breathed in deeply and exhaled. I started to notice my surroundings, it was a thick forest, vegetation popped up from everywhere. I looked up and saw a pack of flying-lemurs, they were some white ones, but others had spots or stripes here and there. I looked at the sky and I saw flying mini-bisons, real flying bisons are extinct now but about 300 years ago, some scientists from the Eastern Air Temple found a really good specimen of a bison fossil. After a few tries, they cloned a very-near (or at least according to them) copy of a bison, only they say it's about 2-thirds the size of a real bison.

I didn't notice, but Monk Hairi had stopped walking.

"Okay, children, this is a place you must speak to no one about. There will be grave consequences if you so much as hint about the location of this place." He said this with such a grave tone that I figured the threat he just said would come true if I so much as peep about this place, whatever it is. I said that because all I can see was the side of a giant cliff…

Then Monk Hairi turned around, facing the wall, he did a series of complex Airbending moves and then blew a gust of air into four tubes I didn't notice before. The cliff suddenly started shaking, I saw Daitchi trying to keep calm by clenching and unclenching his fists, but I guess I just wasn't ready for a gigantic cliff's side to fall on me, so I did the most rational thing people do in these situations. I started screaming.

Monk Hairi turned around faster than a lightning bolt and covered my mouth. "Shush, the cliff isn't going to fall on you."

He said this in such a calm voice, so I tried calming myself down. Breathe,Hana.I imagined Daitchi calming me down after avalanches, or earthquakes. I slowly calmed myself, and as my breathing and heart-rate slowed down. The cliff side revealed a large door. Monk Hairi let go of me, figuring that I'd be calm enough, and opened the door.

"Right, come in, we must hurry…"

000000

The inside of the cliff was pretty dark, but as we walked further in, light slowly became available to us. After a few more minutes of walking, we came to a large room where a round table with about two dozen or so people occupying it filled most of the space. By the way they were dressed, they came from all around the globe, some in Northern Water Tribe garments, others in green and brown Earth Kingdom tunics, a few in the Fire Nation's Firebender uniforms, but most of them wore Airbender robes.

"Friends, I have brought the one!" the people sitting there turned to look at us, I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks, I was really bad at coping with attention, I guess after everyone started avoiding me because I'm so 'advanced' I just don't get along with crowds anymore.

The oldest of the group stood up and examined me, he had kind eyes, a long beard, and a wise-man's aura. He looked at me for another moment and opened his mouth to speak. "Ah…" he smiled, "it seems that it has finally been reborn…" then he frowned a bit, "but, it also seems as if it's been sealed by a powerful force…"

A man in his twenties probably, stood up and asked the older one "Are you sure Master? Is he the one?"

The 'Master' spoke, "No, not he, she, she is the one we've been waiting for. Come child, let me see you clearly."

Monk Hairi whispered "Go" to me and I walked to where the old Master was standing.

"Child, do you know why you are here?" the old Master asked this in a serious voice.

"Umm…" I said, "N-not r-really, all I kn-know is that my f-father sent me here, b-because i-it was d-dangerous o-or something…" Ugh, I hated my stutter, it came out when I was talking to someone I didn't know…

"Ahh, so Renier has not told you…" He said this with a contemplating tone.

"So she does not know Master? About what is inside her?" this was said by a young Waterbender.

"It seems so," He mused, and then he noticed my Mark as my bangs fell a bit to the side. He moved aside my bangs completely and said in a surprised-yet-pleased tone "but, it does look like she has mastered Waterbending to some extent"

The young Waterbender stood up and said, "Impossible! She must only be 12!"

I literally fumed at this, "Hey! I'm fourteen, for your information, and also, I already got my Mark for three years now!" I hated it when people thought I was younger than I am, I was born with a small figure and slightly child-like face and people who don't know me think I'm somewhere around the twelve mark.

"Hush, Mako, remember she is the One, so she might have an advantage at it." That was the Master talking to the Waterbender.

I was slightly confused now I turned to the Master and said, "You keep talking about me being the 'One', what do you mean?"

"Why, dear child" the Master looked at me in the eye and said the words that changed my life forever,

"You are the Avatar Reborn."

(A/N: Really short huh? I just couldn't help myself, cutting it right here was too good an opportunity! Don't worry, the next chapter will probably be much longer, probably =P

Anyway, before I go, I wanna ask you something, what do you think of Hana? Is she too Mary-Sue-ish? Because I don't think so, do you? How about Daitchi? Waddya think of him?)
