Chapter 9
Disclaimer: look up Fan and Fiction in the dictionary and put them together.
A/N upon request I will be making my chapters longer, also school has started so it might take longer than normal. Man that sounded too formal, enjoy.
Gyatso was looking at his old pupil. He was overjoyed just by seeing his face. He remembered the day Aang ran away like it was yesterday…
--flashback—
"Aang has run away." Gyatso told the counsel of 3.
"What do you mean run away?" Asked Hamio, 3rd counsel member.
"I mean he has left, and gone to recollect his thoughts." Gyatso explained.
"Well than we shall wait for his return, he is the Avatar he will not ignore his destiny." Decided Jee leem, 1st counsel member,
"Do you understand nothing of children; Aang needed familiarity and fun, not the wait of the world on his shoulders at 12 and a completely new temple!" Burst Gyatso, "Besides there is a storm on the horizon something could happen to him."
"Who are you to counter the counsel's decision?" Asked Gamio, 2nd counsel member.
"I am someone who cares about the Avatar, and not just what he must do." Gyatso answered and he left the room.
--End flashback—
Aang and Toph stopped glowing and opened their eyes.
"That monkey faced jerk, I have half a mind to…" Toph started.
"He is the SUN spirit we do anything and the Fire Nation is completely defenseless, then every thing is thrown off balance, some people are still harbor bad feelings towards the Fire Nation." Aang interrupted.
"You know it does make sense, I mean Fire benders are so annoying and so is that monkey dude." Toph said.
"Hey, my husband is a Fire bender." Said Katara.
"And can you honestly tell me that he is not annoying?" Toph asked.
"Yes I can, he is not annoying." Katara said.
"I can tell you're lying." Toph said, and Katara grunted and turned away.
"Gyatso, where is everybody else?" Aang asked oblivious the girls arguments.
"They are in the village, this way." Gyatso informed them. They walked down the tunnel. For a while nobody spoke, finaly to brake the silence Katara asked.
"Don't you have any light I can barely see?"
"No, the Fire Nation has not allowed any fire down here, any fire would burn up the gas in the air that stops us from bending, it also slows down our aging; we all have only aged 33 years." Gyatso explained.
"Well, that doesn't matter any more; you can bend all you want." Katara said.
"Who are you to make that decision?" Gyatso asked. Katara stood up straiter.
"I am Fire Lady Katara, wife of Fire Lord Zuko." She pronounced.
"Does this mean the war is over?" Gyatso wondered.
"Yes, we only just found out that you were here, I thought you were dead." Aang said.
"Didn't you go to the Southern Air Temple?" Gyatso asked confused.
"I did, actually I've been meaning to ask you, I saw your skeleton but you're right here." Aang said his eyes asking the question.
"The only ones who died were the counsel of 3, they took every one else prisoner, I left my necklace on the 1st counsel member. The Fire Nation solders thought I was honoring the dead, but I was leaving you a message, on the back I told what happened." Gyatso explained. Aang smacked himself on the head, to change the subject, he lit a fire so they could see. Gyatso just happened to look at Toph's eyes.
"You're blind!?" Gyatso exclaimed.
"So?" Toph questioned.
"How can you Earth bend, and how can you get around?" Gyatso asked.
"Well I see with vibrations in the earth, watch." She stuck her hand into the ground and waited a while and said,
"You have 400 people in your village, with one main building with 400 rooms and a couple arenas for games."
"You're right, that is amazing. But how did you learn to Earth bend?" Gyatso questioned.
"I taught myself." Toph answered.
"Well here we are." Said Gyatso, and Aang could have sworn that he was back home in at the Southern Air Temple.
A/N incase you are atentive readers and you caught that Aang air bended eventhough the others couldn't it's because you have to be exposed to it for a while. If you caught that you get Chinese food. Read and review or eat my dirty gym socks.
