Chapter 2

The new world

The creature jumped forward and landed in spitting distance away from Raimundo.

Uh nice ox thing. Raimundo said in a small voice. The creature then opened its mouth and licked Raimundo leaving him soaking wet.

Yuck!! Raimundo said while the others laughed.

Appa! A voice called from the forest.

Then a boy with yellow and orange cloths and a long stick in hand and a blue arrow on his bald head jumped higher than the trees and out of the forest and then landed on the back of the creature.

Appa there you are. Said the boy. Hey you found some new friends.

Then three more people two of them dressed in blue cloths the other in yellow and green came out of the woods and said. Oh Aang there you are who are these people. Said the girl in the yellow and green.

I don't know Appa just found them. Said the boy who was apparently Aang.

Who are you? Asked the boy with blue cloths and a ponytail.

Raimundo stepped forward and tried to sound as polite as possible. Hello I'm am Raimundo this is Kimiko, Omi, and Clay. He said pointing to each one.

Alright where are you from. Said the girl with blue cloths and blue necklace.

We are from. Omi started but was silenced with a hand over his mouth.

A long way away and can't go back for awhile. Raimundo finished.

Omi slapped Raimundo's hand away and said. Not hot. Raimundo didn't bother to correct him. The girl with a blue necklace gave a sympathetic as though she understood how we felt. Then Raimundo noticed something in all of their eyes they seemed sad as though they'd seen a lot of pain and grief.

Let us introduce ourselves. Said Aang. I'm Aang this is Katara, Soka, Toph, and Momo.

He said pointing to each one. Then the creature underneath him groaned. And this is Appa he's a sky bison. He said patting its head.

Hey if you're not going anywhere I guess you could come with us. Aang said out of the blue. The pony tailed guy scowled but didn't object.

Raimundo thought for a moment but finally said. Yes.

Great. Aang said.

Where are you going? Asked Omi.

We are going to Ba sing sai the earth nation capital. Said Soka.

Earth nation? Clay said curiously.

Yeah like one of the four elemental nations. Saka said. Where exactly are you guys from.

Omi was about to speak but Raimundo placed another hand over his mouth and said. You wouldn't believe us if I told you. Soka let the subject drop.

They made their way out of the forest and found a dirt road and stated walking.

Raimundo climbed on Appa's back and talk to Aang. Once he was done he climbed of and signaled for the dragons to fall back a little so they could talk.

So what did he say? Asked Kimiko.

He said that he that in this world the earth is ruled by four nations that are earth, fire, water, and air. Said Raimundo.

And? Clay said.

That's all I could get out of him without blowing our cover. Said Raimundo with a frown on his face. But I say we play along with them until we can get back home.

But they look so sad like they're in a war or something, it might be dangerous. Said Kimiko.

Yah, because we're so new to danger. Raimundo said sarcastically. Besides there is nothing we can't handle.

Hey you guys better catch up or we'll leave you. Said Saka.

The dragons caught up with the group.

Raimundo may have put up a strong front but in the back of his mind he thought "This is a new world and we have to be careful".
