Clara found herself by beautiful old statues of past Airbending masters. Clara noticed she had felt less stressed since opening her chakras. She had her NoWorries in her backpack but hadn't felt the need to take one.

It was strange, but then she knew she didn't have an actual anxiety disorder, or her mom would have made her get real medicine for it. She had just become anxious over time with the things that had happened to her, mainly from Malcolm. The NoWorries was a supplement and had been there to help her when she needed a little help. Clara wondered if she'd still get panic attacks and guessed that she probably would, but she felt she could better manage herself after this.

"The fourth chakra is located in the heart. It deals with love and is blocked by grief. Lay all your grief out in front of you."

Clara closed her eyes to see her mom and best friends Sam and Lacey. Seeing them so clearly like this made her smile but frown when they suddenly disappeared, much like she knew Aang had seen his Air Nomad family vanish. But for her, nothing happened. She quickly inhaled when she felt a wave of loneliness envelops her body.

"You still may see them again, Clara. But if not, know that you can form new bonds and relationships here."

Aang, Toph, Sokka, and Katara appeared before her. Clara opened her eyes, and her lips curved up slightly.

She knew in her heart that even though she still didn't know the GAang too well, besides what she had seen in the cartoon, over time, they would become friends with her if she let them.

This... is getting easier to do.

Aang wiped his eyes of tears and asked for some onion banana juice. Clara grinned as she and Aang clinked bowls and drank the now not-so-disgusting juice.


The following two chakras were a little challenging. But they weren't hard like when she had started. Clara guessed that as she opened her chakras, the more at ease she became with the changes happening to herself. The sound chakra, located in the throat that dealt with truth and blocked by lies a person told to themselves was simpler than Clara had expected.

The lie she discovered she subconsciously told herself was that no matter what she did, her life would be hard. In Clara's vision, she was inside a giant birdcage. The key to the lock was just outside of the bars. When she had reached for it, it moved away, so it remained out of her reach.

"You know how to get out of this, Clara. Focus on something other than the actual key you see. You are the key to getting yourself out."

Listening to Pathik's words, Clara sat in the cage and breathed deeply.

I'm the key...? Focus and think... inhale... exhale...

Clara then noticed she could feel something, and it was all around her. She realized she had felt this sensation before when she first arrived in this world. Clara, biting her lower lip a little, tried to levitate in her vision. Her body rose a little, and with that, she smiled. She was able to feel the energy that was around her body. Still invisible, but she could feel it surrounding her, and if she thought of it, Clara could create extensions of the energy, almost like creating extra hands. Concentrating, Clara tried to mentally pick up the key before it vanished.

What?

Her brow furrowed in confusion before remembering the guru's words. Focusing and breathing, Clara had a moment of clarity as to why the key had disappeared.

By the impossible happening to her, coming to this world, and her new ability to use this invisible energy had made her realize something vital. That her life, even if she could go back home, was full of possibilities. She was the only one holding herself back from doing what she wanted. She could achieve anything if she got out of her own way.

Clara got up and, with confidence, threw open the cage's door.

"Excellent Clara, you've opened your truth chakra." Clara laughed when she opened her eyes. She was levitating. Returning down, she wanted to try and practice now that she could feel the energy but knew there were still two more chakras to open. She glanced at Aang, who was still meditating.

I would like to know if I can get him to stay and finish the last chakra...


The sun was setting as Clara and Aang began the second to last chakra.

"The sixth pool of energy is the light chakra, located in the center of the forehead. It deals with insight and is blocked by illusion." Clara closed her eyes. She could hear Pathik talking to Aang about the illusion of separation but felt she wasn't under that illusion. She already knew that people, no matter how different they look, are still a part of the human race and that everything and everyone was connected in life.

Meditating, Clara saw images of the cartoon show appear. She saw the ending and how things were supposed to be.

"This is an illusion you are holding onto, Clara. Whatever you knew from your world is holding you back from helping your new friends here."

"But what if I do something that unintentionally causes something bad to happen?" Clara didn't want to even think about all the ways she could screw up the story. She had been so great this last day with her anxiety. She wanted to keep it that way.

"You do not have control over what ultimately unfolds for this world. You are just one person. In life, there are always going to be bad things that befall people. Only the spirits may have more power over what occurs, but you are not a spirit, so you must release this idea of control. Things will happen as they are supposed to."

Breathing deeply, Clara relaxed.

I don't have control over what happens with my being here now, but I do know what will likely happen...

Clara exhaled before opening her eyes to the now night sky. Aang and she follow Pathik back to the air temples and climbs to one of the roofs.

"This is the last chakra, isn't it?"

"Yes, once you open this chakra, you'll be able to go in and out of the avatar state at will. And when you are in the avatar state, you will have complete control and awareness over all your actions." Guru Pathik turned to Clara, "And after you open this last chakra, you will have access to your ability to firebend."

"Let's do this!" Aang said, a look of hope and determination on his face. Clara nodded, a little excited but also worried about Aang.

"The thought chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world."

Closing her eyes, Clara considered what attached her to the physical world. Her mom came to mind, but she wasn't here. If Clara was being honest with herself, nothing tied her to this world. If she could go back to her world now, the future would occur as it had in the show. Only her fear of what came after death was what always made her want to be alive on Earth. A thought hit Clara like a bolt of lightning.

This world has a spirit world... A place where people go... if they choose to stay there among the spirits... So... If I were to die here, I know I would not just disappear!

Clara gasped as the world fell away in her vision, and she was in space. It was much like how she had seen in Aang's vision, only different because when her path appeared, a giant image of herself manifested before her. She took a couple of steps forward before a warmth enveloped her body. Clara lifted her hands to see them glowing. Her entire body was alight. Walking closer to her larger self, her body became brighter and warmer. Her large counterpart came towards her, a sphere of energy surrounding Clara.

Clara had never felt anything like this! Her body was burning hot, but she felt a surreal feeling of wonder pass through her.

Suddenly, something was in front of her. Clara looked to see someone there with her. It was a man but... not. He was glowing bright like her, with stars sparkling and swirling around his form. Suddenly, one of his hands reached out to her, causing her to instinctively flinch away, and before she could get a good look at him, he disappeared.

Opening her eyes, her vision was crystal clear. She had never needed glasses before, but she felt as if her eyes were better.

"Congratulations Clara. You have succeeded in unblocking all of your chakras."

Looking down at her hands, Clara tried to create a flame. Breathing in deeply, she tried concentrating like when she made herself levitate, but nothing happened.

It's not just a mental thing...

Trying again, Clara felt a warmth come from the center of her body. It flowed through her chest to her arm before it reached her hand. Orange flames flickered and licked at her hand. For a few moments, Clara couldn't do anything but stare. The fire dimmed a little, and trying to make it bright again, Clara gasped when the heat burned a bit. Her fire went out, and she looked at her hand only to not find any sign of injury.

"I believe that's your body's extra protection at work," Pathik said as he watched her.

Not wanting to stop trying, Clara made fire appear again in her right palm. She watched as it glowed brighter this time, and the color of the flames began to change. Before both her and Pathik's eyes, Clara's fire went from a bright red-orange to a turquoise blue. Her body temperature she felt also went up as the fire changed.

She turned to Aang and saw that his tattoos were glowing. Clara frowned, her fire dissipating when she remembered what was about to happen.
