Author note: Hey, so I wanted to let you guys know that I changed the wall names. The walls the we're destroyed was wall water. They are heading to wall earth, then fire, then air. Also, I apologize for being later than expected to update. I feel really bad and hope you guys forgive me. Thats all. Peace and Love.
Peering over my house is a giant titan. Its giant smile sends chills down my body. It reaches a giant hand into my house. Maybe my parents aren't home, maybe they ran off. Maybe they are already in hiding. My body sweats with fear as the titan digs his hand around my home until it grabs both my parents in one grasp.
"No!" I yell. My brain is telling me to run, to fight! But my body isn't responding. The beast holds both my parents in one hand.
"Mom! Dad!" I shout.
"Aang!" My mother cries, reaching a hand to me. "We love you!"
"Aang! For this moment, you are too young. When you are older, promise me you will fight!" My father yells.
"Dad!"
"Promise!"
"I promise!"
Tears trickle down my face as my parents get consumed by the monster. It's over.
"NOOOO!" I scream as I sprint towards the titan. Suddenly, I feel a giant hand wrap around my body.
"Let go of me!" I yell. I feel my body being raised off the ground. The titan opens its mouth wide and Pulls me closer and closer.
Suddenly, the titan releases my body and I plummet to the ground. I land on a slanted building roof and roll onto the ground. The titan collapses in front of me and I see a burn mark on its neck. My neighbor ,who must've been the one who shot down the titan, runs to me. He is a short, old man but I've known him for a long time and he's definitely tougher than what meets the eye. His name is Iroh and his nephew lives with him. I heard that his nephew is the son to the Firelord ,who lives in the very ceneter of our walls. People say he was banished because he brought his family dishonor and the only way to repay it was to kill the element titan. A titan that is non existent.
"Are you ok young man?" He asks me.
"Yeah I'm fine. But my parents-"
"I know, I saw. Don't worry, just stick with me and you'll be ok"
He picks me up and puts me on his shoulders like a piggy back ride and he runs to the boat. Once we get there, he puts me down.
"Get on the boat and be safe."
"Aren't you coming?"
"Yes, but I have to find my nephew"
And he runs off.
I push through the crowd and find my friends.
"Aang, are you ok?" Katara asks me, putting a hand on my shoulder. I shrug off her hand.
"I'm fine" I say. I refuse to make eye contact with her, or anyone.
"Aang, lets go" Says Sokka as The crowd moves onto the ship. Once we get on, we stand close together. I see Iroh his nephew, Zuko, walk onto the ship. He smiles at me and walks towards me.
"Hello again Aang" He says to me with a smile. Zuko glares at me with eyes of hate.
"So how's your hunt for the element titan?" I say jokingly and he growls.
"Shut up!" He yells.
"Whats the element titan?" Sokka asks to either break tension or just because he's stupid.
"The element titan is a titan that is able to bend all four elements" Katara answers.
"A titan that can bend all four elements? The titans are bad enough as it is without them being able to bend!"
"They also say that the element titan is actually a human that is able to turn into a titan-" Zuko says and Katara interrupts.
"Which is impossible"
Zuko just crosses his arms and rolls his eyes.
"Be more respectful to your friends Zuko" Says Iroh.
"They are not my friends!" Zuko shouts. Iroh sighs.
"You children shouldn't be so loud, many people here are very stressed and upset about what just happened. It would be best if we all just remained quiet and honor the fallen."
"What's the point?" Says Zuko. "We're all going to die sooner or later. Titans always win"
We all sit in silence for a long time.
"I just realized something" Says Katara. "Aang, you're the last airbender"
"What? No" I say. "Thats impossible. There's probably more airbenders in the inner walls"
"Actually, no" Says Iroh. "You and your family were the last ones"
"How do you know?" I ask.
"I've had to travel through all the walls and back many times and each place had no airbenders. Even wall air has absolutely no benders whatsoever"
"No benders at all? Not even water benders?" Asks Katara.
"Bending the elements is a very rare gift nowadays. I'd say one out of thirty people are able to bend an element."
"Why so little?" Asks Sokka.
"Because most benders join the military, and die. Thats why most benders nowadays refuse to join and most of the military are non benders. I quit the military after my son...was killed by a titan."
"You were in the military?" I ask.
"Yes, In fact, I was a general"
"Really? Thats so cool" Says Katara.
"Not really. My job was very dangerous, I almost died quite a few times."
"Wow" I say.
Suddenly, I hear a strange banging sound come towards the wall. I stand on my tip toes and see a titan sprint at light speed towards the wall. Many soldiers shoot at it but it refuses to slow down. It rams right into the wall, nearly destroying it.
"No" I say. Suddenly, the beast just disappears into thin air.
"What the?" Says Katara.
