"Um I seemed to have misplaced it."
"Misplaced it? Misplaced it! In this world, we don't have time or money to misplace things! I need to make a living! I'm afraid, if you can't pay me, you'll have to come back with me, and earn it."
"Uh, I-"
Someone cut me off.
"Here I got it."
A boy around my age gave the cranky fisherman 3 gold pieces. He had bleach blonde hair, and blue eyes. He was wearing a fancy blue coat and black boots. Than the man road off.
"Thanks, how can I repay you?" I said franticly.
"Oh its okay, you don't have too."
"Really? Wow thanks!"
"Your welcome. My names Hulio."
"I'm Keita."
"Cool, so will I see you around?"
"Yeah. Yeah you will"
He walked away. I smiled, and then refocused.
Okay find Aang.
I walked around a bit, and found out that it will take a few days to get to the palace by foot. I didn't know where I would sleep with no money, but that was the least of my problems. I figured I should start walking, so that's exactly what I did.
I had a few hours of daylight left, so I didn't walk to far, but it was far enough, that I figured all I needed was 2 days by foot to the palace, that is if Aang was even there. I just assumed he was.
I found a little area in between two large houses that I could sleep. It wasn't the comfiest, but it wasn't dirty.
I was sitting ageist the building thinking about the days ahead, when a familiar voice appeared.
"Keita?"
"Hulio!"
I was very surprised to see him here.
"What are you doing?"
"I couldn't find a place to stay."
"Oh well, we have an extra room at my house, why don't you stay with me?"
"Are you sure? I mean yes, yes I will, but I've already caused you so much trouble"
"That back there? That was nothing. Come on."
He grabbed my hand, and led the way to his house. It was a pretty house, with a small fence line on the side, with a horse in it. We walked inside. There was a huge chandelier on the ceiling. All the furniture was light blue and white. The house smelt like chocolate chip cookies. There was a women standing by the door when we came in.
"Hulio, who is this?"
"Keita. Hi. And you must be Hulios mom?"
"Oh so your Keita! I swear when my son came home today, he wouldn't shut up about how you-"
"Okay mom! Keita is going to stay with us tonight. I'm going to show her to her room"
"Oh okay hurry back! I'm going to go get the baby pictures!"
I laughed. His mom seemed really nice. Then after passing through a few doorways, we arrived in a little bedroom, complete with a bed, dresser, closet, and night stand.
"So this is it, there's a bathroom to the left and a-"
"Wow Hulio, this is amazing!"
"Oh, yeah I guess. So Keita where did you come from?"
I didn't even think of that!
"I came from the uh, the, the Southern Water tribe."
"Oh I've been there before. Nice people. Dinner in a few minutes okay?"
"Okay!"
He left the room. I turned around and studied the place where I would be sleeping tonight. The walls were covered with Art. The Furniture had carvings of water droplets on the rims. It really was a beautiful room. It was a beautiful house frankly!
I went into the kitchen. I didn't know what she was cooking, but it smelt good!
"You have a lovely house!" I said to Hulios mom.
"Oh you like it? I thought you would."
She whispered something under her breath
"Airbender."
"What?"
"Oh nothing"
She walked out of the room. That was weird, but hey, I have a nice place to sleep.
