You look down from Redwood backs at these two guys who where in the deep part of the forest no one said anything it was like you guys where having a staring contest,you knew that the one with the scar looked very failmier to you and as did the old man,the boy with the scar look like he was about to fight or ready to.
"So...what are you guys doing a place like this"you asked them
"No reason what are you doing here"boy with the scar
"First off i have no reason to be anywhere just traveling through but it seems like your lost"you jump down off of redwood and pat him then look back over at the two guys"you don't seem to be from around here"
there was a little pause"we're travelers too"boy with the scar you knew he was lying"yes yes you are"you tell him
"So tell us what is your business here"boy
"Whoa aren't we fired up"you tell him he looks at you,you sigh"look i know way around anywhere do you guys want me to you know help you"you asked
"Does it look like we need your help"boy with a scar snaps at you
Redwood steps forward to him and growls he turns his stance on him"Redwood doesn't like loud things sometimes"you pat him"Look if you don't want me to help you then fine I won't"you earthbend your way up to the back of Redwood back and get on"I was just trying to help but fine whatever I have better things to do"
The older guy had watched you earthbend he pulls the other boy down and whispers in his ear"Zuko she's and earthbender"
"Yeah and so"Zuko
"Well if she's and earthbender then maybe she can help you know through the earth kingdom"older guy
"I'm not following"Zuko
The older guys pushes out the way"wait don't go please"he calls after you before you left,you look back at him"We would like it if you could help us we are really nothing but need travelers or refuges and it be so kind if you could help us"
You look down at this guy,and smile at them"Sure I wouldn't mind helping you guys"you get off redwood and earth bend down to the ground,and walk over to them,you throw out your hand"hi the name is Avani Bei Fong or you can call me The Ranger that's what ever one else does in the earth kingdom and you too are"
"Are names are Lee and Mushi"Zuko lies
"You're lying"you tell them
"What...what no we're not"Zuko yells at you
"Yes you are I can tell"you tell him"I know who both are"you dig into your pouch and pull out a piece of paper with their picture on it"You're Zuko Prince of the fire nation and your Iroh the ummmm"
"General"Iroh tells you,Zuko elbows him"Owwww"they look back at you,you put the paper away
"Ok what do you want"Zuko asked you ready to fight
You look at him"Is he always like this"you asked Iroh
"At times yes"Iroh
"Look I don't want anything alright I can see that you both are travelers and refuges and that the fire nation is looking for you, and me personal I don't give a lick if need some help with something that's what i do i help people i do not care what nation your from or if your being hunted down alright"you tell them
Zuko didn't believe you,Iroh just looked at you"thank you for kindness"Iroh told you
"W-what uncle your not just going to trust are you"Zuko asked him
"We really don't have much of choice right now we're lost deep in the forest and look we are saved by beautiful young lady who happens to know her way around and plus she has saber-tooth moose lion"Iroh looks at Redwood"So just think if she can help us then that would be great"he smiles at his nephew
"So then"you flip back over to redwood and earthbend some steps to back on top of him"Come on up"
Iroh was walking to you when Zuko stopped him"Are you crazy just look at the size of that thing, we are just fine right?"he looks at Iroh
Iroh looks at his nephew then at his transportation"Yes it does seem big but I get cramped riding in the back all the time and there seems to be alot of room up there"Iroh walks to Redwood"are you coming"he asked Zuko
"I'll take my chance"Zuko
"Alright then"Iroh he goes up the stairs and gets on the back of Redwood.
You look down at Zuko"He's not coming"you asked
"Not at the moment"Iroh
"Just hope he can keep up"you look down at him shrug your shoulders"Qu*it means go in Chinese it pronounced qui*"Redwood runs off,Zuko follow on his ostrich horse,you look down over your shoulder to make sure that Zuko was following he was but he was really far"I should have Redwood just walk wan liao Redwood"you tell him,starts to slow down and then comes to a stop,you look over your shoulder looking for Zuko,you and Iroh waited about 8 minutes for him to show up
"ah there you are Zuko"Iroh"had me worried for a minute there"
Zuko went past grumbling under his breath"are you sure that you don't want to come up here its very nice"Iroh asked
"I'm fine"Zuko
"Ok then I don't care really"you roll your eyes"redwood slower ok"you tell him,he huffs out but starts to walk,Zuko just had little bit of trouble keeping up but at least this time he was in eye distant.
A little Toph was running down the hallway of her home she trips but gets back"Avani, Avani where are you"she calls you your name"Avani"
some one grabs or stops her from running she gets out of their grasp and swings just screaming alittle bit"Toph dear calm down"it was the sound of her father's voice,she stops"Where is Avani where is she i found this her favorite ribbon this morning by my bed where is she"she asked her parents.
There was silence"Well, where is she"she demanded again yelling
"Toph dear your sister she ummmmm left some time late at night or early in the morning"her father tells her"Toph your sister she's gone she left"
Hearing those words sent a heart trobing pain through"S-she left"Toph asked herself quietly"B-but why why did she leave"she asked her parents"Why did she leave me? Why did she leave me me!?"Toph screamed she fell down on her knees and hands letting a few tears come down her face
With and older Toph she was having the same dream that she had ever since you left she rolled onto her other side in the bed grabbing on to the ribbon that you left her"why did you leave Avani?"
