              SHE COULDN'T SLEEP AFTER FINDING OUT WHAT LAYS INSTALLED FOR HER. NOT LIKE THAT WASN'T NORMAL THOUGH, MANY NIGHTS SHE STAYED UP STARING AT THE STAR FILLED SKY, WONDERING IF SHE DIDN'T END UP WHERE SHE WAS NOW, WHERE WOULD SHE BE INSTEAD.

            The spot was far off from everyone and everything and near the cliffs of the air temple, hidden away in between some of the tall towered rocks. That was her place to escape and get herself trapped inside her own thoughts, which currently (Y/N) was doing.

            A soft sigh left her parted lips, arms wrapped around her knees that were pulled to her chest, hair out of its usual side pony tail to rest on her shoulders. She sat on a boulder in the ground, wing glider placed next to her as she stares out at the endless view of the scenery around her home.

             She didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to even handle the fact that she was the Avatar, the only person who could even master all four elements and bring peace to the world. Even the very thought of that made her squeeze her eyes shut, and tremble a bit in fear. The weight of the burden could be felt on her shoulders already.

             One of her palms that had Aang's bracelet that he made for her as an early birthday present around her wrist, lifted up to rub her left eye to wipe away an unshed tears, and rested her chin on her knees, sighing softly once more.

            The sound of a familiar bison grunting beside her caught the girls attention, and turned to see Appa being flown down by Aang sat on his saddle. She smiles a bit at their appearance, but it didn't reach her eyes like it normally did around them.

             "Hey, (N/N)." Aang gently greeted in a comforting voice, hopping off Appa's saddle to land down beside the girl walking to them, staring at her apologetically, "Master told me what happened. I'm sorry you found out this way before your birthday."

              She offered her younger brother a small smile of gratitude, palm resting on Appa's nose who grunted softly and nuzzled into her touch, "Don't worry about it, Aang." She voiced in a quiet tone, attention on the bison who watched her sadly also, "It's not your fault, nor anyone's. This is my burden alone to deal with, and I don't want to drag you down with me."

             He furrowed his brows not liking how she talked like they weren't family, and reached out to clasp her trembling hand in his tightly, "You may be the Avatar, but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone." He states firmly giving her a look, and flashed a beaming grin up at her, "We'll do it together. Like we always have."

          She squeezed his hand like a lifeline as she stared down at him softly, blinking back the tears wanting to escape before dropping his hand to brush her finger through Appa's soft fur, "Thanks Aang, but could you imagine me as the Avatar?" She spoke out loud in a scoff, "Monks don't even leave me alone for more then five minutes because I'm apparently an 'airhead', and I'm supposed to save the world?"

              Aang frowned once more not liking how she viewed herself, when he viewed her as the strongest and kindest person he's ever met. She was a role model to him, and he looked up to her for everything. He decided to stay quiet for now, and let her rant her feelings out to them.

            "Gyasto said I need to remember who I am. But I know who I am." She trailed off in thought looking down her palms, pacing around the area the trio were stood in, and felt her stomach twist a bit, "At least I think I do? I just know I like to explore, make things and play airball with our friends. That's who I am, not someone who can stop the Fire Nation. Not someone who can stop a war."

            Appa bellows curiously sharing a look with Aang who stood beside him patting the bison's fur, "And you're still all those things, (N/N)." The younger boy tried to comfort his sister seeing her having an inner conflict with herself, "But now, just add the Avatar to the list, and it doesn't change who you are."

             She shakes her head flickering her glossy (E/C) eyes to them, before back down to her palms in front of her, "The other kids always say I'm lucky because of things I could do, but I'd gladly give someone else this power." She rambles fiddling with the bracelet, tears in her eyes once more, "Just not this burden. I don't wanna leave my home. I don't want to leave any of you. I'm scared of this power. And most of all, I'm terrified of failing everyone that's counting on me now."

              Aang's heart clenches inside his chest watching as the girl who grew up with, who was always so bubbly and confident break down into tears. He doesn't hesitate to reach out, grasping her arm gently to pull her into a hug, arms wrapping around each other securely. App purrs gently behind them, and bumps his head into his owners, giving the girl comfort also.

             "I can tell you're scared, (Y/N). But you're not alone, and won't ever be through this." Aang whispered into her chest, gripping the back of her clothing more tighter as he hears her sniffling, and pulls back briefly to motion to the bison who grumbled softly, "You have me and Appa. We'll never leave you, I promise."

              She nuzzles her face into Appa's fur which made him purr some more, and lean into her touch as she squeezes Aang against her more, "Thank you, guys. I don't know where I'd be without you." She mumbled in a raspy voice from crying, a small smile crossing her lips.

            Appa makes another grunting sound as his ears flicker, and points his head up to the sky, causing the two best friends to share a knowing look. She nods in understanding running her fingers over the bison's fur, "You're right. I just need to go up where things always make more sense. At least for now."

            "Yay! We're going on a night fly!" Aang cheers gleefully clapping his hands together, making him blast up by airbending and landed in Appa's saddle, grinning down at (Y/N) happily, "Come on. What are you waiting for?"

              She playfully rolled her eyes, returning his smile a bit wider now as his aura always seemed to make her happier in her darkest times. She grabbed her wing gilder, looking over the only home she's ever known for the last time, before jumping up onto Appa's saddle next to Aang.

            "Yip, yip!" Aang commands the go ahead once they were ready, grabbing the reins of the saddle as he snaps them against the material. Appa groans an exclaim as he starts to fly in the air, getting away from the air temple to go for a night stroll through the sky. However, none of them were aware of what this would cause and what would happen to their home till a hundred years later.

             THE BEST FRIENDS INSTANTLY KNEW IT WAS A BAD IDEA TO TRAVEL OUT SO LATE, WHEN THE WIND STARTED TO PICK UP ROUGHLY AND THE SEA BELOW THEM TO PICK UP WHICH SIGNALLED A STORM WAS COMING.

Appa was strong enough to fly through it, but the two sat huddle together on his saddle weren't so much, as they gripped each other and the reins to direct their bison.

            Rain started to pour down on them, and the thunder started to crackle and strike which was followed by lighting above them. The wind was blowing (Y/N)'s (H/C) hair around, making it harder for her to see through the locks all over her face.

             She had one arm around Aang's waist to keep them both together, while the other was placed on her forehead so she could see what was happening around them. The only things she could hear was the wailing wind, followed by the fierce storm picking up around them. Her senses were very on edge now.

            "It's getting kind of rough, Aang, Appa!" She shouted over the loud noises around them, trying to meet her younger brothers wide eyes who was nestled up against her side for safety, "I think we should head back home now. Before it gets any worse out here!"

           The boys both grunt their acknowledgment to her words, Aang pulling on Appas' reins to direct him the other way, as he starts to fly back the way they came from through the growing storm, still unaware of what was happening at the air temple and how it was being destroyed, along with the people inside.

            More thunder crashes and crackles above them, which caused the best friends to yell out scared when they felt it too close, and gripped onto each other more. (Y/N) placed an protective over Aang's body, taking the reins from him as she took control of the scared bison trying to fly them through the storm.

           "It's okay, Appa! Steady, bud. Steady!" She tries to reassure the panicking animal over the thunder, feeling herself loosing control over how frantic he was moving around, trying to avoid hurting himself and his owners on his back.

            A wave crashes into the bottom of Appa making him bellow out, and groan some more, as she pulls Aang more into her side, who was hiding his face in her clothing and gripping onto her for dear life. They weren't making it out of this storm without a miracle, she knew that, she could feel it.

            Appa continued to manvoure through the air trying to avoid the waves, and fought against the rough wind blowing a gale against them. However, a pit formed in the bottom of (Y/N)'s stomach when she looked up, eyes going wide seeing a massive wave coming towards them, one of the tallest she's ever seen that towered of the trio and everything in sight.

             She tried to pull Appa away from the wave barreling towards them, but the bison was already flying along it which had the best friends screaming in fear. Her hold on Aang and Appa slipped when they were pulled into the wave, making her scream a cry out again trying to reach for them, but was instantly ingulfed by the water, along with the other two.

            The three all floated in the crystal blue water knocked out from the impact, Appa and Aang the furtherest away from the girl. Her hair was floating around her face also in the water, almost looking like a halo of sorts. They continued to dift in the water unconscious, until something had happened.

           Suddenly (Y/N)'s eyes shot open to glow a bright white colour, along with all her tattoos on her skin as a mystical whirring sound followed. Seeming like her body knew what to do, her feet came together and knuckles slammed into each other in a mediating position, as another bright light shot out of her, and around the other two to form a iceberg pocket, trapping them in there.

           They would remain remained suspended in there for a century, and to be never heard from again. Until one day a certain watertribe siblings would find them, and set history to its right course.

               THE AIR WAS COLD AND BRISK IN THE WOLF COVE WATERTRIBE, THE BREEZE HAD CALMED DOWN FOR ONCE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE. BROKEN BITS OF ICE LITTERED THE COLD WATERS, CREATING A MAKESHIFT STREAM FOR THEM TO CROSS IN THEIR CANOES.

Two siblings from the Southern Watertribe, Katara and Sokka were currently on that same river in a canoe, trying to catch fish for their village.

            Sokka's darky eyes narrowed down, concentrating on the few fish he spotted in the water, as he held a spear standing at the front of the small canoe, while his younger sister paddle them through the river.

          "Katara." His somewhat deep voice called out in an urgent tone, but didn't gain an answer back making him snap his head back to see his sister not rowing anymore, "Katara. Sulk later, paddle now."

            She rolled her eyes grumbling under her breath, before picking up the oar and began to paddle again through the icy water, but on the left side this time. They kept up with the fish in the sea, but she freaked out a bit when a rumbling sound was heard underneath them, and the canoe picked up speed.

           "Good job." Sokka praised in surprise feeling the sudden change of speed, turning his head briefly to his confused sister then back to the fish swimming fast away in the water.

             "I'm not doing this." Katara spluttered out brining the oar out of the water, and gripped onto the seat as the water started to take their canoe, and it caused Sokka to fall back down when it thudded down a drop.

            The siblings were now stuck in a stream of water that was carrying them along, making Katara scream at the sudden pick up in speed, and tried to paddle them out of the current. But it was no use as they were trapped.

            Sokka's eyes went wide in panic, watching a pieces of the ice break from the berg they were about to float past, and they both scream louder at the sharp turn they did through the small gap in the berg.

             They tried to get control over the canoe once more, but failed once more because of how strong the current was. More screams escaped them, when the side of the canoe rammed into the side of an ice berg, and they were sent tumbling off of the transport onto the freezing cold ice.

            Sokka grunts at the rough landing on his shoulder, leaning up from the snow as his wide eyes find his sisters figure groaning beside him, "You okay?" He asked panting, gaining a shaky head nod back in conformation.

              He stands up from the snow with another grunt and helps Katara up next, checking her for any injuries before turning around to their canoe. His stomach dropped watching it getting taken away by the current again, "Oh no. No, no, that's not good." He rambles out, quickly making his way towards the edge of the ice to try and grab it.

             Katara brushes off the snow covering her clothes with her gloved hands, and looked up curiously to something in front of her when she noticed it, "What is that?" She asked out loud but it was aimed at her brother.

             Sokka throws a bit of a temper tantrum when he couldn't reach the canoa, and sighs heavily as he turns around to see what Katara was talking about. A weirdly shaped ice berg was paced in the middle of another, "Huh, weird."

              She narrowed her eyes down on the ice, almost like she got see something inside of it as she ignored her brothers commentary beside her about their canoe. Shaking away those thoughts, she slips off her gloves to reveal her hands and lifts them up into the air, now trying to waterbend the canoe to them.

             A rumbling sound echoed around the small cove in result of the forceful movement, which made Katara think it was her, but the rumbling was actually around them making Sokka stutter her name out, "Uh, Katara?"

              The rumbling got louder around them, and Sokka snap around to tilt his head upwards, his face being lit up by a fluorescence blue from the strange looking iceberg. It also started to crack from the bottom of it like something was trying to break free, until the entire thing broke in half and a typhoon of icy fog had hit the siblings off balance.

             A beam of blue light shot straight into the sky afterwards, going all the way up stretching farther than the eye could see, almost seeming like it was a beacon. It was so bright and so magnificent. A low quiet hum came from the beacon in the sky, waves of blue energy rolling off the broken iceberg around the cove and in the skies above. 

              The siblings had blocked their eyes from the blinding light, but slowly removed them from their faces when they sense, well more like felt the overwhelming presence of someone now arriving in the world. Sokka's and Katara's jaws dropped at what they were now witnessing in front of them.

             Standing before them was a girls figure holding another smaller boys one in her arms, the arrow tattoo on her forehead glowing the same blue like it did in the sky and behind her, as well as the ones on her knuckles. The flourished light illmuted their figures, as the fog started to disappear also around them.

              She stared ahead in a daze not knowing what was going on, holding on tightly to the uncoions figure in her arms more, and her eyes were beaming blue fiercely. Sokka stared in awe at the girl, feeling like his heart was about to burst from his chest for some reason. She was a sight to be hold, and something told him this was the start of something.

              After a few more seconds, the glowing started to die down slowly. As the mystery girls eyes and tattoo grew dimmer, so did the blue above and around them. Once the light had completely left her body, the mystical whirring sound faded and the bacon in the sky was gone too.

              Her eyes fluttered a bit, and glazed over till she crumbled to the ground like a leaf. Her hold on the boy had dropped also, making them both fall off the berg. However, the siblings acted before they could hit the ground.

              Sokka skidded forward to catch the girls figure in his arms, while Katara caught the boy in hers, saving them from receiving a nasty head bang from the harsh ice below them. They both shared a confused look at the newly pair of people they had just found.

              His dark eyes scanned over the barely breathing girl that laid limp in his hold, being stationed on his knees to hold her as he had one hand around her back, and the other rested under her head. She looked to maybe be a year younger, or maybe even holder then what he was compared to the other, and had strange orange clothes on also. They both did.

            "Where did they come from?" Sokka muttered out loud in question to his sister, gloved hand wiping off the ice on the unconscious girls face, just as the canoe showed up behind them in the water.

              "I don't know." Katara replied furrowing her brows, taking a look at the younger boy in her hold and then back to the one her brother held with extra care. She was both curious and worried as to what happened to the two for them to end up in an iceberg.

              Sokka gently placed down the girls figure on the snow, using one of his mittens for a pillow of sorts behind her head, and stood up to grab onto the canoa, "Oh! Nice. Nice. We're not gonna die." He commented in a chirpy tone, pulling the transport in and turned back to Katara, "So, what's the plan for them?"

               She knew he was talking about the knocked out duo before them, and glanced over their faces before raising her brows up at her brother, "You're not thinking of leaving them are you?" She asked in an accusing tone, and pointed at his missing glove, "If you were, why did you leave that with her?"

               He irked a bit realising what he did for the strange girl, and motioned to the iceberg behind them, "Karata, a strange, glowy iceberg just exploded and left behind," He started to talk incredulously, geuserting to the new pair, "a mysterious pretty girl who glows too and a little bald person!"

           "Sokka, we can't leave them. They'll freeze out here." Katara exclaimed knowingly staring up at her brother with narrowed stare, making him grumble under his breath more and stomp back a bit to where she stood with the other two on the snow.

              He bent down to slip his hands under the unconscious figure of (Y/N), mumbling stuff under his breath throwing a temper tantrum once more as he picks up the girl bridal style easily, and stomps his way back to the canoe carrying her against his chest while Karata watched amused from her spot next to Aang.
