I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender.
I do own my character Kanya.
The gang sat lazily on Appa's saddle and watched the clouds float by as the wind tickled their faces.
Kanya shifted to lie on her stomach, "I still can't believe King Bumi was your friend from a century ago" Kanya recalled their visit to Omashu where Aang had been challenged to perform a few task by the crazy King. But the king ended up being an old friend of Aang's all along.
Aang smiled, "I should've known it was him" he said as he sat up to check on Appa.
"How do you think Haru is doing?" Katara asked no one in particular. "I'm sure he's doing a lot better now that his father is back" Sokka said with a hint of bitterness that only Kanya could pick up.
Kanya scooted towards Sokka and rubbed his back with an encouraging smile. "I know you miss dad, and now Suki" she said. Sokka blushed slightly at the sound of Suki's name; she hadn't been mentioned much since they had to leave Kyoshi Island.
"I'm just so glad we could help all those earthbenders return home" Katara said, unaware of what anyone else had said.
"What's that?" Sokka asked, as he pointed out an area in the woods where the trees seemed to be burned down.
"Let's check it out" Aang said as he led Appa to land near the area.
The gang looked around the area, "it must have been the Fire Nation" Katara concluded. Aang's face dropped, just another village he couldn't save from the Fire Nation.
"Don't worry Aang, this forest will grow back" Katara said.
"Yeah, but I'm no good at being the Avatar" Aang mumbled.
Kanya felt guilty, here she was, another Avatar that could be training and helping end the war but she was too afraid to reveal herself.
Out of the forest an old man approached the group, they took offense until they realized he was from an Earth Kingdom village.
"Please help my village! We desperately need help!" he begged the group.
Aang complied, so they set off with the man a short way to his village. The village was run down and many buildings were destroyed.
"What happened here?" Kanya hesitantly asked the man.
"Every night an angry spirit comes to our town and destroys whatever is in its path. It also captures many of our people" the Chief explained. "We don't know why this is happening or how to stop it."
"Well I'll help you!" Aang said before the gang walked away.
"Do you know how you're going to help them?" Katara asked.
"No, but I'm going to do my best to figure it out!" Aang replied.
"Stop!" Aang begged the spirit. At first he thought he had helped the village but the spirit was on a rampage now. Kanya and Sokka appeared at his side.
"We will help you, maybe together we can stop it" Sokka said before being grabbed by the spirit.
"SOKKA NO!" Katara screamed from inside the building but was held back by the chief.
Aang and Kanya ran after the spirit who was making its way back into the forest. Aang sped in front of Kanya and reached out for Sokka, almost reaching him before the spirit and Sokka disappeared into thin air.
Kanya caught up to Aang and realized that her brother was gone. She felt her stomach drop and Aang looked up at her.
They silently walked back to the village and on the outskirts of the forest they saw Katara and the townspeople waiting for them. Kanya ran forward to comfort Katara but realized her sister was looking right through her. She stopped and turned to look at Aang, "what's going on?" she demanded.
Aang looked down at his hands and saw the glowing blue around them. "I think we're in the spirit world" he said. "But I don't know how you got here?" he continued.
Kanya covered her face and fell to her knees. Aang bent down beside her, "what's wrong Kanya?" he asked.
She took her hands away from her face and brushed her golden brown hair out of her face. "Sokka is gone and now Katara's all alone, I'm supposed to protect them! And…and…IthinkI'manAvatar" she rushed through the last part.
"Come again?" Aang asked, "you think you're another Avatar? But there's only one and that's me" he continued.
"I know, but I can bend water and air, I haven't tried earth or fire though" Kanya explained.
"Show me" Aang demanded becoming frustrated with the idea that he was no longer the only Avatar.
Kanya stood and produced an air ball which she balanced precariously on. She had almost perfected this before she they had to leave Kyoshi.
Aang stepped away from Kanya, "but…b…" he couldn't finish a thought, let alone a sentence.
"Help me Avatar Roku, I need you!" he screamed into the air.
Out of the forest a steady bright light came towards them. "It's a dragon" Kanya said as she stood and watched the spirit approach.
"It's Avatar Roku's animal guide" Aang said as the spirit talked to him.
Aang and Kanya silently climbed onto its back and it took off flying high above the trees and villages. It took them to the Fire Nation, to a small island that had a temple with Roku's statue inside. Visions come to Kanya and Aang of a meteor and learn that they have to return to this island on the Solstice so they can speak with Roku.
The dragon then took off with them on its back to return them to their bodies, back in the Earth Kingdom.
As they made their way out of the forest Kanya stopped Aang, "I know you may not be happy that I'm also an Avatar, but please don't tell anyone. I'm afraid of what may happen and I'm not ready to tell anyone yet" Kanya begged the airbender.
Aang looked into the light blue eyes and understood her fear. "Okay" he said with a nod before continuing out of the forest.
Once they got into the town they ran to find Katara but she couldn't be found.
"Where did my sister go?" Kanya demanded.
"She left on the back of Appa to look for you" the Chief responded.
As night fell, Sokka and Katara were now both missing.
Aang walked out to the entrance of the town and saw the angry spirit return. He offered it an acorn, "the forest will grow back" he said.
The spirit calms down and then slowly transforms into a panda. It took one last look at Aang before walking back into the forest.
As the spirit disappeared the missing townspeople and Sokka stumbled out of the woods and came into the village.
Kanya ran to Sokka and threw her arms around him, starting to cry "I'm so sorry I couldn't reach you" she cried into his soldier.
"It's okay Kanya" he said stroking his older sister's back and hugging her.
As the townspeople reunited and thanked Aang and Kanya for their help, Appa flew into view and landed right next to the crowd.
Katara jumped off the bison and smiled at Aang and her siblings, so grateful they were all back and the spirit had calmed down.
"So what happened in that forest?" Katara asked as they flew away from the village.
"I don't remember anything" Sokka responded, "uh... me too" Kanya quickly added with a sheepish smile.
"I met with Avatar Roku's dragon and he showed me that I need to go to an island on the Solstice so I can talk to Roku." Aang explained after a sideways glance at Kanya.
"Wow, that's great. Where's the island?" Katara asked.
"The Fire Nation" Kanya replied with a sullen look.
Katara and Sokka's faces dropped as they all looked around at each other.
