Aang's POV:
The meeting was boring. I much happened now that the war was over. Sure there was a few border skirmishes now and then but nothing serious. The Fire Lord was currently telling the counsel, (all the important people like the rulers, second in commands...etc.) about the population,
"So there are now currently-" Zuko stopped when everyone heard a shout, then a crash, and silence.
What was that? The thought was on everyone's mind. Standing up quickly, I prepared myself for anything that would come bursting through the big oak and cedar doors. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the others do the same. Another crash was heard, and then the doors flew open, air rushing past my face. The wind was strong and almost knocked me off my feet, using my powers, I tried to contain the wind, but it wouldn't stop.
How queer, my powers have always worked. Why can't they be used now?
Lucky for us, the wind stopped as fast as it came, only leaving a cluttered room in it's passing. Expecting a great army or a big general, I was surprised (along with everyone) to see a girl standing in the doorway. Straightening up as she walked forward, I wondered if she was good or bad.
" Who are you? State your name and business," said Zuko.
I sighed; he was always so formal and serious with people besides his friends.
The person stopped,
"Don't worry Zuko, I am perfectly harmless since where're allies."
Everyone looked confused.
" Um...we aren't, not yet at least. We don't even know you." I said.
This was an awkward situation.
" Well, Then I will have to get to know you. Please sit down, I promise I won't hurt you if you don't hurt me." she replied.
The counsel gathered at the big table and sat.
"What do you want to know?" she asked.
Katara spoke, " What is your name, age, race, and are you a bender?"
"My name is Astra, I am 16 years old. I am an Other and am the High Tuur, meaning power."
" What does an Other and High Tuur mean?" asked Iroh, Zuko's second in command.
"There is another world of people that are unknown to your Avatar (Aang) of the elemental World. We call ourselves The Others. Each one of these people can bend one of the elements, (Air, Water, Earth, and Fire.) from the moment when they are born. The Others are stronger, physically and mentally, than the Elementals. Only a few powerful Others can bend Future, Metal, Dreams, and Spirit. These benders are extremely wise, and are looked up to in society." she paused to let it sink in, "A Turr is the most talented person in my are the most powerful people of all the Others. They can bend all the Elements, the future, Metal, Dream, and Spirit. Tuurs are highest in society and their powers are handed down from generations. The 4 Tuurs make up a counsel that advises the people of their world. Each Turr also has a special power individually; it helps them do their work. They Tuurs are honest; hardworking, and loyal but are judgmental and hard to win their friendship. A High Turr is the two most powerful Tuurs. I am the second, my father being the first."
"Do you have regions?" asked the Earth General said.
"Yes, we do." Astra said, "In the world of the Others there are four regions, the benders of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire live separately. In each region is a collection of Shadow, Future, Metal, Dream and Spirit benders. Every region had a Tuur and every Winter and Summer solstice; the leaders come together to discuss plans, problems and accomplishments. The regions have a very good relationship with other and very rarely have feuds. If there were a war between regions, it would be chaos. Any other questions?"
No one said anything, so I decided to speak,
"Why are you here then?"
Smiling, She answered, "Unfortunately, our Future benders foretold a great evil, creatures of the dark. They will try to destroy your world and if the succeed, they will move onto ours. It will happen in a few years."
"Why can't they stop it then?" I asked.
"Future benders can only see the future and advise. It comes in handy if you are up against a big army." she replied.
Fire Lord Zuko said, "Could you remove your hood?"
Astra answered, " I'm sorry, but a Tuur rarely removes her/his hood."
Aang's POV:
"So what do we do then?" he said.
"Well I came here to tell you and offer our service in the upcoming battle. Do you accept?" she said.
The counselor members huddled together and finally decided on an answer.
"Can you give us more time?" asked Xenn, the governor of the Southern Earth Tribe.
"Of course." she said.
Aang's POV:
What did she do?
She was there a second, then vanished. The Counsel burst into chatter,
"Where did she go?"
"How did that happen?"
"What do we do?"
"SILENCE!" hissed Zuko
That got everyone quiet.
"I say, that we should wait until it happens, and then make our decisions," he said.
There was a pause in the room, and then people all started to agree at once.
"Yes, that would be good a good choice!"
"I think that would work out."
'Lets get something to eat"
Sighing, I went out of the room and into my sleeping quarters.
