I took off in the morning. I said goodbye and thanked everyone for their kindness. Before I left, Gran-gran told me something important.
"I know you will do great things great Avatar. There are a lot of tricks and Scams out there, just be careful."
I nodded and assured her Id be careful. Then I left. I was in my own little world, and then suddenly, I saw smoke, and a lot of it.
Fire nation.
Luckily it was around the corner and I had time to get out of the way, but it didn't do much good. They saw me.
In the blink of an eye, 3 fire benders started chucking blasts of fire at me. I dogged them and made an air ball and threw it back. I knocked one of them down, but then more came. My only choice was too just run away.
So that's what I did, except I didn't run, I flew with my glider. I swooped down of the top of the iceberg, where I was standing. I did some loops, twists and turns, to try dodging the blasts of fire. Sadly, I couldn't keep missing them. Then, one hit my glider.
I was going down. It wasn't good. Pretty soon, after falling I hit the icy cold water. My fingers were starting to numb. I could barely swim in the first place, because where I grew up there was no water around. I could barely keep my head above water. Then everything started to blur again, just like before I fell and was out cold for 200 years.
Miraculously, something went by me, and I felt warm hands pick me up, out of the water. I didn't know who it was, but they saved me, and at that moment, that was all that mattered.
I guess I fell asleep almost immediately when they took me out of the water, because all I remember was getting out of the water, and being wrapped up in a warm blanket.
When I woke up, I realized I was on a boat. I sat up and saw two boys, around my age playing cards at a table.
"Hey look she's up!"
The shortest one said
"No duh stupid, go tell Jet"
I still didn't know where I was, so I looked around. No fire Nation flags. I hoped I was safe.
Finally, I asked,
"Where am I? And why did you guys save me?"
There was only one person in the room, but I figured there was more.
"Well we need a new addition to our team, and we saw you Air bending out there. You're the Avatar aren't you?"
I showed him my Arrow. He came over and looked closely at it.
"Wow, I can't believe you're alive! And the last one too!"
I laughed silently.
"Yeah I'm the last one alright."
Then a tall boy with brown shaggy hair and Hay in his teeth walked in followed by 3 others. He began to speak:
"Okay gentlemen, this is the one only Avatar."
"But Jet, you said that it was a boy?"
"I know I said that you Dimwit, but obviously, it's not. Hi, my name is Jet, and these are my freedom fighters."
I shook his hand
"You took quite a fall out there, you're lucky the duke say you when he did."
I was still all wet, cold, confused, and miserable. Oh yes, and I still had a million things to do, only to be attacked by the Fire Nation. What's next?
"This is the kind of things we do; you know attack fire nation ships, save villages, stuff like that. We are on our way to the Fire Nation capital now. Why don't you come along?"
"Oh no, no, no. I have a lot of stuff to do."
"No I really insist on you coming." He said sternly.
"I said No Jet."
He gave be an angry look, and pulled out two swards, and started swinging them around barely missing me. Than everyone joined in on the fight. I started airbendeing, and managed to knock down 4 people, but jet was strong, and he wouldn't give up. The fight ended up outside. Then I knew I had to get out of here, somehow. With my glider gone I was almost out of luck.
"What's wrong Avatar, can't you take a hit? I mean I know you're a girl, but I didn't think your skills were that low."
Suddenly, I lost control. I don't know how to explain it, but the next thing they knew, I was up in midair, with my eyes and my arrow glowing bright blue. Air was rushing in a vortex around me. Half the people fell overboard, the other half were frozen with fear.
"Jet let's get the Heck out of here!"
Pretty soon, they turned the boat in the opposite direction and were floating away. But there was another problem. I was still in the air above the ocean with no place to land! Than the Avatar state ended. I had to think fast, but I managed to create a swirling ball of air below me, and drove it to shore.
That was way to close.
