Hey guys! Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I was spending some time with my girlfriend and got behind in my school work so I was spending the last few days working on getting all that caught up. Anyways, I have decided that I will post a new chapter every Sunday, giving me a week to figure out what I will do in the chapter, and begin writing on Saturday, finishing it and publishing it on Sunday. Sadly I could not do that this weekend and I have to write and publish the whole thing today. I hope you enjoy the chapter.

-Cheers, Nytherinz

Spring, 0 ASC, The Eastern Air Temple (One week later)

"Well Aang," Grandmaster Peliz said as he finished stitching the advanced white strips into my robes," You are now as great as an Airbender as I." He smiled at me.

"Thank you Grandmaster Peliz, I will only use these new powers if my life is in danger I promise."

I smiled, "Or when the Guru tries to feed me Banana and Onion juice again!" I laughed and Peliz tried to hold his laugh in but failed and laughed with such a deep voice I thought Appa learned how to laugh.

The Guru walked into the tent. "Hey! Banana and Onion juice is good!" Pathik said as he conjured a bowl of it from his robes and ate it, making the contents fly everywhere.

Oh man, the Guru never fails to make me laugh, even in these dark times that are almost here.

"So Aang, when are you ready to leave to go to the Southern Water Tribe to learn Waterbending? Everything is already prepared and we are just waiting for you to decide when to leave."

Oh… I forgot about that. I was having such a great time here learning these new techniques that I forgot I had to leave and learn the other elements. I frowned a bit, and then came to a realization. The other elements, there is so much I haven't even learned yet. I have only seen firebending in use once, when Kuzon and I were having a "who can do the coolest bending" contest and he accidentally ignited a woman's dress and he was grounded for a week. Sadly his parents made me go back home after that in punishment for him. Earthbending seems hard, but maybe that is just because I am an Airbender, and they are opposite elements. That element will probably be hard for me to learn.. But I only have a few more months before the comet arrives and I must be able to defeat Sozin.

"I can leave immediately Grandmaster Peliz." I sighed.

"Don't worry Aang, I know you will do well learning waterbending and the other elements." Peliz said while Pathik patted my back reassuringly.

"It's not that masters, it's that I only have a few months to learn all the elements. How can I learn them all?" I raised my voice more and more as I said that.

"Aang, calm down!" Peliz yelled. "Even the most experienced and knowledgeable avatars did not know every single technique for bending out there. Take yourself for example, you created a way of airbending on your own!" Peliz jumped up and created a ball of air very similar to what the other airbenders and I used to do before I ran away at the Souther Air Temple.

I thought about it for a few seconds. "I guess you have a point there. So I just have to learn all that I can in the time I have I suppose."

Peliz nodded. "Exactly Aang. Now get your things and you will meet your escorts down to the Southern Water Tribe." I nodded in answer and he left to notify the escorts of our immediate departure.

A few minutes later when I was done a loud familiar voice said, "I'm going to miss you Aang."

I turned around and saw Guru Pathik standing there with a big smile on his face and Onion and Banana juice in his hands. "Here," he said, giving me it," for the road. I know how much you love it."

I laughed and took it. "Thank you for teaching me about the Avatar State. It was hard to do, especially with all the pressure I am dealing with but I did it."

I closed my eyes and went into the Avatar State and when I opened them, my eyes were glowing white and my arrows were also glowing. " I am Avatar Aang."

The guru smiled and said, "I'm glad I could help you gain control of the Avatar State, it will be a most useful tool for you to use in the upcoming battles. It will be especially crucial that you use it to protect your people, for they are pacifists and will be reluctant to take a life, even a firebender attacking them, just so they can live."

I nodded and left the Avatar State. "Aang! Come on out! The escorts are waiting for you!" Peliz yelled from the bison hold.

I sighed, "It's going to be a long road, but I need to get going. Goodbye Pathik!" I said as I ran out the door and down to the hold.

There you have it guys, sorry again for the delay on the chapter. I promise the next one will be longer, especially considering my new technique for planning and writing chapters.
