Chapter three: A Shift in the Continuum
Mod
Zarya was told that she was the avatar so she set out to find an earthbending teacher, which was where she met Tandia. They were soon met by Thalia, an evil firebender, and her companions, which included Troy, and Sira, another firebender keen on killing the avatar, and her friend Archer. Troy tried to follow his orders to kill the avatar but couldn't, so he tried joining them as she learned earthbending. They were soon faced with their first major battle in which Troy killed his own brother.
During the first split of their newly formed group of misfits, Raelynn, and Aeros were met, ready to heal Zarya. They assisted her in her journey back to her friends and found themselves being sucked into her life's path as well. All the while Thalia was creating an army.
Sira and Archer rather reluctantly joined up with Zarya as well around the same time when Aeros was reunited with his sisters Khana and Korina who bore the news of the ruined earth.
Soon after that they headed straight into a battle against Thalia and her army, resulting in a victory for them--but both Zarya and Tandia had died, Troy was able to give up a part of himself to save Zarya, bringing her back from the dead.
Three years later they found that their battle was far from over, as mysteries begin to arrise surrounding their team that had scrambled around the world, begining with the death of Tychi, the guard of Khana and Korina.
Pater, Thalia's father set into action as the Avatar's protectors began to come together again. They constantly were forced to flee from battle until finally they had no choice after their getaway dragon was slain. So they faught, only losing five of the six chosen by Pater, causing them to set into action to rescue them.
Many deaths occured, many breakouts occured, and yet they did not win the battle, even though they were so close... what will happen next? I have no clue... let's ask Ryka... the time bender.))
((oh hahaha i love that!!!Ok... continueing hehe:
A few month ago, Sira was trapped and kiddnapped at a local market. Archer was unseccsessful in the search, and continued his journey with Zarya.
Arak, Archer's brother, was diagnosed with Amnisia after his aircraft crashed and burned. He got a job at the Lark residence, as the gaurd to one of his daughters rooms. Though her named always seemed finimlair to him.))
Mod
Troy walked slowly through the trees thinking about his past. None of that had mattered... none of it was important any longer... so why had he lived through it? Why had any of it happened if it meant so little in the end? Why?
Fentis... join us now. Kirari's voice said from inside his head.
Fentis.
The name Kirari had given him...
Slowly he decided to head back to the group.
Aeros' eyes shot open as something jumped on top of him. "Eye up daddy!" A voice rang. Aeros smiled slightly and moaned.
"Or you could go back to sleep?" he tried.
"Nope!" Petra smiled crawling up to her father's face. "Come!"
Aeros heard Raelynn giggle beside him as she pretended to sleep. Aeros sighed, smiling. "Alright. Let's go." he said throwing the covers back.
Ammos dragged his feet as he walked toward the kitchen. He had made the house... so why hadn't he made the kitchen closer to his bedroom?
"Good morning!" Moira chirped happily. "Did you sleep well?"
Ammos shook his head. "No."
"What's wrong? What are the dreams about hon?"
"I told you mom... they're private." Ammos said flatly.
Moira nodded, "Well.. if you say so."
Shana was gently woken up by Zestos who was shaking her lightly.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked, "I think they've realized something is up."
Shana jumped to her feet pulling her long black hair into a knot at the back of her head, she had to get ready to leave--fast.
"You know, your life would be easier if you left me for now... Everyone knows that I'm his son." Zesots said, "They are looking out for me... if you were on your own..."
"I'm not leaving you Zestos." Shana said flatly. "So stop suggesting it. We'll find the avatar together."
"But--"
"I can't leave you..." She continued turning to face him after pulling on her boots, "afterall... i can't have you finding her first."
"I'm still going to." Zestos joked as he threw the remaining clothes of his and Shana's into a bag. "Come on... let's get out of here."
Claire yawned, and woke up. She hadn't gotten a good night's sleep since... since her daughter was born. This temple just wasn't as comfortable as hers! But she didn't care so much. Dune and Fuchsia were here... well not here. she didn't really know where they were... but here in general... yes.
Brooke grabbed onto Cadac's arm and pulled him into the alley way. Aaron stood behind her smiling.
"Cad..." Aaron said, "You need to be more careful while stealing, you are so blunt about it--"
"No!" Brooke said almost laughing, "You should stop stealing all together. We have money! There is no need!"
"Except it's fun..." Cad said laughing.
Alli raced to the kitchen. Her room was the closest and she was rather pleased. She loved mornings. they were so exciting--so bright... soo.... wonderful! But her brother was such a downer. he was always so sad when he woke up and that made Alli's good mood die.
"Ammos!" She demanded, "Be happy!"
"Mleh." Ammos said before leaving the kitchen again.
"fine. That works too!" Alli said happily waving him away.
Voril woke up earlier than Kerai again and looked around. It wasn't so cold here any longer. It used to be the Northern City, but now it was... an island that was underneath all of the ice.
"Voril..." Kerai mummbled. "Someone is coming."
"Kerai wake up." He said pushing her rather roughly. "Stop that. I hate it when you talk in your sleep."
"Mmmm..." She sighed, "mmmm"
"Wake. up." Voril said loudly, as Kerai shot into a sitting position.
"Why? What's wrong?" She asked hurriedly, she was scared--likely the cause of her dream.
"Just wake up." Voril sighed. "please...?"
Blue was finally getting into his bed. He had been training his rebel army all night long--he had been so tired. But now, he could sleep... and soon... Pater would die... by his hand...
Green smiled, staring down at the young girl playing. Her hair was dark, but had hints of green... she was beautiful... The man running with her was... well he was alright. Green himself would not have picked him to help raise a child, but... it wasn't his choice.
Fuchsia laughed loudly as Dune ran toward her and scooped her up. "That's cheating!" She giggled.
"Well you should set all the rules at the start!" Dune said smiling as he set her down. "You never said i couldn't pick you up!"
"No picking me up!" She said sternly. "Now... GO!" She cried out as the two of them began running again, playing a strange game made by Fuchsia that made next to no sense at all.
Ju Di sat down in her tall golden chair in front of the round silver table. In the center of the table a vase of flowers obscured her view of Kori, but her flaming red hair was still visable. to her right sat Cyri, her dark hair hanging loose--but it was too short to care.
"So why are we here?" Kori asked.
"Pater summoned us." Ju Di responded.
"Then where is he?" Kori asked loudly in an angry tone.
"Not here yet." Cyri said, intervening, avoiding the argument.
Pater was alive... haha class just ended... can't rp him yet.
((oh wow.... nice one))Sira woke up, but didn't move, or open her eyes. She could feel the chain around her hands. It was such a familiar feeling when she was a pirate. It all came back to her now. Her father, abducting her at the market, threateneing Archer's life. But why? Why would he want his runnaway, pirate, avatar siding daughter back?
"Well, i can do my best sir-." she heard a voice say.
"Our best, Timie? She is already gorgous, and will be made into the perfect daughter by the time we are done with her, sir, you have no worries."
"Ok," this was her father, "I know i could trust you two, after what she's been through, it would be a relief for her to be treated like nobility again." she heard his footprints walk away.
Treated like Nobility my butt, she thought, trying not to scowl.
Archer was someeeewhereeee with the Avatar.
((know what?! Aeros and Raelynn aren't even married. Lame. Lol))Raelynn sat up slowly, a smile spread across her rosy pink lips. "Petra honey? Are you not going to say hello to your mommy?" She smiled as the little girl toddled over to her and sat in her arms.
Raelynn remembered when she held this little angel inside of her, it was some of the most beautiful and painful times of her life. But as soon as Aeros came back, the burden had seemed much lighter.
Mod
Just thought I'd try and help, and kinda figure out where everyone is... it might help--i mean, i know where all of mine are...
But... strangely enough... Archer and Zarya are together... with Aeros and Raelynn I think right?... though others are looking for her... where they are is up to the two of you.
Fajra... unless you wanted her to leave... was with Codai and Vaer... so yeah... Wynnie can figure out her own :P))
Aeros smiled. Perhaps he would be able to return to sleep? he lay down slowly and then Petra turned to him. "no!" she said quickly before turning back and telling her mother a strange story that had happened in her dream last night.
Aeros sighed and stood up. He wasn't getting any more sleep. he walked out of his bedroom and yawned...
He decided that he may as well make some breakfast for Petra and Raelynn.
"Good morning!" he said brightly to Zarya, whose long blonde hair was tied in a braid. "How are you?"
She was sitting at a long worn down table in the middle of the kitchen of the abandonned house the four of them had begun to live in. Archer was sitting quietly at the other end of the table staring blankly at the wall... He hadn't really been the same since Sira left... So Aeros thought not to disturb him.
((So what colony should this abandonned house be in? I'm thinking Earth seeing as it's so big. And Pater's people are EVERYWHERE now. That's why they have to hide out.))
((uhhh Earth??))Archer nodded a hello to Aeros, snapping out of his trance. Why would she just leave? He thought. Without saying goodbye, she just left them. Was it because of him? Did he do something?
Mod
"It's time." Ryka said.
"Time for what?"
"I dunno, i just thought i'd use a pun."
Vaer skipped happily into the room where Codai and Fajra sat.
"Hello there fellow random people!"
Codai grinned greatly and said "I am but a genius trapped in a world filled with imbeciles."
Vaer slapped him.
As Dune was running after Fuchsia, trying to understand her complex game he saw something out of the corner of his eye, so he turned and saw a flash of green.
He stopped running and stared at the spot where he had seen the green.
"Play!" Fuchsia growled in a low demonic voice, "You are it."
Theia and Nyx walked in the rain, because it was raining. The skies were dark and there was rain.
They were walking together, their arms linked and then a rainbow came out and they smiled and stared. And Theia said "We had better get going." And they went going.
Cyri glared evily at her companions, Kori and Ju Di, waiting for Pater to come and give her some orders, because she wanted them.
"I'm a vegetarian." Cyri said randomly.
Khana was perched in a tree, watching Troy walk. He was such a weird boy... so strange, always walking, talking to himself...
Her mind filled with Kirari's voice and then she hopped from the tree. She was sad. Because she had a monster on her toe.
Kirari, who isn't Wynnie's character, sat with bulging eyes looking at the family in front of her.
"HELLO!" She screamed very loudly at the young boy as he passed by her.
He screamed in return and ran into his sister who was holding a pretty rock.
"LOOK!" She said loudly as he ran into her, accidentally smacking him in the face with it.
"OWWW!" he screamed out running to his mother who was cooking. She turned around and dumped hot soup all over him.
"MAMA!" he screamed out running to his dad.
"Everyone hates me!" He cried.
"I hate you too." he said punching his son.
((wynnie!!!))Sira pretended to be waking up, and they she sat up, like she was surprised. Her eye's narrowed on the two girls in the room. They looked surprised and blinked.
"Good Morning Miss Asirarene." One say, smiling at her. "I'm happy to inform you that you are now home safe, after seven years of tourture." Or something like that. Sira wasn't really paying attention until she finished. The room was Sira proof, or so her father though.
"Ah.. yes.." she murmered, wondering what route she should take.
"And i am also required to tell you, i don't know why, my apologies in advanace, i don't really understand this, but."
"Were required to tell you." the other one intteruptred. "That if there is any problems, Archer will be taken care of. I think that is a miss spell though, miss, they said you would get the message though, those lazy messengers."
Sira turned her face away, as to not show her anger and anxiety, he still had his eyes on Archer. She though, angryly, she would have no choice now.
"Well," she started, a light smile on her face, "It's a relief to be home." she said, then looked at her wrists. ".. are they permedent?" she asked, "I don't see why..."
"Sorry miss! I almost forgot, ill take them off now." the littler one said, rushing over iwth the key. "And i'm Missy, by the way."
"I'm Lily." the other one said, coming to sit on the other side of the bed. "I can't believe that your 19, miss, and it's already right around the corner!" she excalimed, as Sira rubbed her wrists.
"What is?" she asked, acting like she's a bit confused, and she was, just in a angry way that she wasn't going to show.
They giggled, "The wedding!"
Mod
And all that time ago--back in Raelynn's palace, her guards would make it for them...
"Hurry up Khana! We're almost there!" Aeros cried out two years ago, on his search for Raelynn.
"Why am I here?" Khana asked with sigh as she continued to follow her brother up the hill.
"Because I can't lose you. Not again... Not another one..." Aeros had muttered.
"As if you cared..."
"Turn back." a voice of Aeros's twin sister said, causing him to look around, not in surprise, but in annoyance.
"I told you, I'm not going back!" Aeros snapped, "I need to find Raelynn!"
"You just lost another one." It was Khana. Aeros looked to her in confusion so she said, "You're insane. You've lost it."
He rolled his eyes and continued his walk up the hill, ignoring his sisters constant plea's for him to stop.
Once he reached the top of the hill he gasped at the sight.
Raelynn's castle was not only being destroyed, but it had already been set up with a different nations flags. Black ones with a strange swirling circle in the middle. The people all around were not wearing Earth kingdom clothing...
"no... this is all wrong... WRONG."
Aeros shook his head a little to clear his mind, continuing making the noodles he had thought to make for Raelynn.
Mod
"This way." He said smiling.
"Where does this lead us?" Khana asked a little excitedly.
"You'll see."
And soon she did.
The dirt path they were on ended and just in front of them stood a woman with long violet hair.
"Fentis." Kirari smiled, "You listened to your heart... and you brought her with you."
"As you commanded." Troy said smiling.
"No. I did not command this." Kirari said flatly. "I told you to come. And you brought her... to keep her safe."
Troy was shocked... what did that even mean? He was sure she had told him what to do! "I'm... so sorry Ma'am."
"Don't be." Kirari said. "I can always use new members."
Troy knew Khana was following him, but he didn't say anything, nor mind at all. Afterall, they were both heading to the same place.
Kirari.
Soon the dirt path ended and at the end of it a dome made from branches and dirt, and in the arched doorway stood Kirari, tall and peaceful, he hair just as long as it had been before.
Next to her stood Rhia and Izoda, and off to the side a little ways Quest and Talfryn.
"What is this meeting about Kirari?" Troy asked her.
"It's time." She said, her lips slowly curling into a wicked smile.
She had to say nothing more. The others knew what she meant.
"I see your not the only one emersed in your own thoughts." Archer murmered, turning the stove down right before Aeros tea water was about to boil over. "I don't think any of us will last much longer like this." he said, yawning. He hadn't slept well without knowing where Sira was. Or why she would leave. "I think we all need answers. In one form or another."
Mod
Aeros hadn't really thought about Zarya being in the room, and winced as he heard her chair scrape against the floor as she walked quickly out of the room. "Remind me again why we're all just sitting around doing nothing?"
Zarya sighed, pressure weighing heavily on her shoulders. She walked out of the kitchen and went to the roof, it was the one place that she could think. Zarya looked around and sat down, she hadn't spoke since she found out that Troy left her. It hurt too much when she had to talk about it or even think about it, so she pushed it from her mind.Raelynn tucked Petra's hair behind her ear and smiled as she finished her dream, a happy ending as always. She reached to Aeros with one hand, bringing him closer and kissed him gently, hearing Petra cry out in giggles.
Mod
No one.
Not even his sister.
He wasn't in the happiest mood ever--but then again, life hadn't turned out to want to go in his favour lately at all. But he had kept going, living a slow and sad life with nothing happening, no one to talk to... his sister--dead. And then Vaer was just gone. Gone for good.
"It was right here." Moira said to Ammos.
"You're wrong mom." Ammos said, "I remember!"
"You were like three!"
"I was five mom." Ammos said "and i remember because it was right by the park!"
"Well we moved the park--remember?" Moira continued to argue.
"Hey guys!" Alli said. "I think it should go here."
"No!" They both shouted together.
"Mom," Ammos said, "Before Pater destroyed our house it was here. I'm serious. Right here."
"No," Moira argued. "It wasn't. It was right... HERE!"
Alli stepped forward and said. "Seeing as your two places aren't very far apart why don't you just make a BIG house in both places?"
"Uhm..." Ammos said looking at his mother.
"Sure." Moira said.
He found himself on the top of a hill and then he looked back slowly to his home.
What was keeping him?
His mother and his sister were doing fine. They were both alive and doing wonderfully. Neither needed his assistance... so what was the anchor that was holding him in place and keeping him here?
It was fear.
Fear of travelling out in the open world all alone looking for the track that he had been derailed from. He never should have left the others. They were probably all on another adventure by now to try and destroy Pater...
He turned back to the house.
He was going to do it...
Alli smiled as Ammos walked back inside the house. "Where were you?" She asked in a friendly tone.
"I was trying to... To..."
"To...?" Alli asked slowly.
"Trying to leave."
"Again?"
"Yes..." He sighed.
"Just go Ammos." Alli said smiling and patting his shoulder. "You'll be fine!"
"I..." Ammos said slowly looking toward the room where he knew his mother would be.
"Go." Alli said. "Seriously!"
"What about you?" Ammos asked.
"I'm happy where I am." Alli said smiling, "With mom, safe from danger, rebuilding the sand bender village.."
Ammos nodded, rather nervous. "Thanks..." he said patting his sister on the shoulder.
"Are you going to say goodbye to mom?"
He shook his head, "This is easier..." He said wrapping his arms around his sister. "good bye Alli..." He said smiling finally. "Be good."
She nodded, forcing tears from her eyes. She nodded smiling, "I will be." She said. And as he turned to leave she grabbed his arm and pulled him back and hugged him one more time.
"I'll miss you." She said, unable to stop the tears from falling.
"I'll miss you too." He said when she let go of him.
And then he left.
The last thing Ammos heard from his sister that day was "Tell Vaer I say hello!" he blushed, but said nothing in return.
"Yeah. Like that." Archer said, running a hanf through his hair. "I think the world need to get used to having an avatar again too. And the Avatar.." he glanced at the door. "Needs answer, time and not such a big mouthed friend." he said, glancing at Aeros, a smile starting on his lips. "Once we get back together again, we can fight Pater. Don't you remeber the first battle? We barley one then, against so many, and now were stronger. It's our only choice now."

"Noodles?" Petra asked him looking up at him with her large eyes.
"Uhm... yes." Aeros said. "I'm sure they taste good."
Petra looked at the gooey soggy mess in the bowl and then looked to her mother.
"When can we go away?"
"Away?" Aeros asked, wondering if Raelynn and his daughter were planning to run away on him.
"Like... out of the house."
"Oh..." Aeros and Raelynn said looking at each other solemnly, neither said anything for a moment, but finally Aeros continued, "It's not safe enough to go out Petra."
"Why s'it not safe?"
"Um..."
"I want a sammich." She said interupting Aeros's thoughts.
Mod
Khana had gotten his ideal choice, having to lure Aeros out of his hiding place, and both Zarya and Aeros knew that Troy was with Khana... so it would work out wonderfully.
Izoda and Quest were to find a two girls that no one else had any idea who they were.
Rhia and Talfryn were to find Vaer, Codai and that girl... Fajra... and bring them.
And lastly, Kirari... she was on her own mission. She told no one about it.
So off he went. Running through the forest, heading to the boat docks to hop into his boat and head to the fire nation.
"Yes!!" Lily giggled. "It's almost got to be all over the fire nation by now!!""Yeah! Seeing that your fathers in such high regard to the royal family." Missy said, gripping Sira's hand. "I'm soooo excited!! He said that maybe even the AVATAR would be there! I don't know WHY he would do that! Who even cares about the avatar?"
Sira smiled, taking all her strenth not to knock both of these girls into tomarrow. "Oh.. i was not aware of this." There was a knock at the door.
"Oh! Come in!" Missy said, her and Lily standing up and unrufflig their dresses.
The door opened, and Arak stepped in. "There is a message for her royal majesty." He said, he was dressed in a red gaurd suit, his light hair cut shorter, a... blank look in his eyes. Sira stood, about to whip out a fire lash, when he looked up at her, blankly. It was obvious to her. He had no memory of her. Or probobly anything.
"ummm." he continued, glancing down at the paper, "she is recuisted for the festivle tonight..." he glanced up at them. "that's all."
"Arak." Sira said, not really beliving any of this. he snapped to attention.
"yes Ma'am." he said, you could tell he was nervous.
"I'm Sira." she said slowly. "I know a friend that looks a lot like you, his name is Archer."
a confused look came over him. "I'm sorry, miss, i don't know them.. it's a honor to meet you."
"Meet me-!" Sira started, but stopped herself, and smiled poiltetly. "Thank you Arak." she said.
Mod
"Come along now little ones." Pater said smiling, ushering his son and Shana out of their prison cell. "I have a treat for you."
Shana and Zestos exchanged worried glances as Pater pushed them gently, a hand on each of their shoulders out of the prison ward and into his throne room.
Next to his throne stood that woman that had been with them only months prior. Rita?
"We're not stopping here," Pater said smiling, "oh no no no."
"No?" Rita asked a little confused.
"No my dear, not here." Pater said contining. "We're going to go see Cyri."
Shana looked quickly to Zestos--he had told her stories about Cyri, and how she enjoyed the act of killing, but Zestos did not return her stare. He was thinking fast and hard about some way to escape.
"No!" Rita cried out, "You can't do that to them! They're just children."
"Ah, but Zestos... he is my son. He disobeyed me and he knew the concequences."
"But--"
"And Shana... I've never been fond of her."
"You don't even know me!" Shana said, kicking backwards and hitting Pater in the shins.
"Shana..?" Rita asked. "her name... is Shana?"
"Yes. I am Shana. The spirit bender." She swung back and punched Pater in the nose, feeling it break under her fist. He released Zestos so she grabbed his arm and ran. They were NOT going to see Cyri!!
"Where to now?" Shana asked, finally having her breathe back.
"I say we find another city... Sooner or later we'll find her." Zestos said.
"But do you really think she'd hide out in the open in a city?" Shana asked.
"That's what we've been doing. It's worked for us... There is no better place to hide than in the open." Zestos said taking her hand. "We'll find her."
"What about Brooke?" Shana sighed, "We won't find her..."
"You don't know that!"
"She went into a weird door.... you heard what that airbender said... she's in the spirit world."
"And...?"
"She'll never get back out!" Shana cried.
"And why not?" Zestos asked lightly, "Dune did. Why can't she?"
Shana looked up and Zestos, with nothing more to say, so she turned away and stormed off. He was such a loser!
Archer nodded, thinking. A plan would be good, but he was never one to develope a plan. He hated being captin, that's why Sira always was. She had the plans. He used to spy on her, making her plans. She's creep out a night, when everyone but the night gaurd was sleeping, sit on the edge of the boat, hanging her feet off, and draw out her plan on some beat up scroll. He looked around, picking up a piece of paper and ink pen. Slowly he sat down and wrote.
1. Find Answers
2. Get back together
3. Get people used to having a Avatar
4. Spy on Pater
5. Defeat Pater
6.
He paused on six, looking up at the roof. He was getting better at knowing where Zarya was. Quickly he wrote in number six, and then left to go find Zarya, leaving the paper and pen on the table.
6. Fix the world.

"Ah!" Nyx almost flew from her seat in terror, throwing her book high in the air, and watched helplessly and it landed in a muddy puddle feet away.
"Haha, Nyx you are such a mouse." Theia told her, laughing and patting her younger twin on the back in amusement.
"Oh shut up Theia..." Nyx grumbled, pushing her sister's hand away, and glumly trudged through the muddy slug to retrieve her book. She raised it in disgust, dangling the battered copy of The love song by her finger and thumb. "Look what you made me do! It's all muddy and wrecked. I swear you do torture me like this on purpose..." She walked back miserably, and plopped herself back down on the fallen log she'd sat before, picking up the hem of her violet sash and wiping off most of the mud. "You suck..."
"Hey now," Theia laughed lightly, and hopped down from the log to stand in front of Nyx, "Don't be mad. It was a joke. Jeez, you're far too sensitive my lovely."
"I'm not sensitive..." Nyx looked away and began flipping through pages of her book, taking care of the mud inside.
"Yes you are!" Theia smiled again, and this time Nyx looked... well she glared really.
"I am not! You have absolutely NO eye for beautiful literature! You have no idea how important this is to me! It's like... a dream. It's magic... the way stories enlighten someone's imagination... beautiful. Stories and books are the only thing going for me, Theia you just don't get it! Please respect my love for this book and leave me alone..."
Theia's smile faltered and she crouched down on her knees so the sibling's faces were at exactly the same level.
They looked very similar... identical even. Except for their hair cut... Nyx kept her dark brown hair short and close to the ears, while Theia prefered her loose waves, with a single streak of red running down the left side of her head... they dressed differently as well. Theia was far more active, and tended to wear the same style of short shorts and a pink T-shirt, with her green backpack slung almost lazily over her shoulder. Nyx wore a navy blue skirt which ended at the knees with a light ruffle. Her shirt was black and simple, and ended at the elbows. She had black fingerless gloves hiding the rest of the skin on her arms, and a red amulet necklace their grandmother had given her days before she died. Theia had a similar gift from their grandmother as well... It had been an amethyst encrusted bracelet, but she'd lost it many years ago... when their mother had asked how she'd lost it, she'd replied "I was fighting a demon mommy... it wanted to hurt you and Nixxie, so i told him 'no' but he stole my bracelet and disappeared!"
That's also right around the time Nyx stated believing her twin was insane... whenever something would go wrong Theia would blame it on the demons...
But noetheless, they both shared the same shining blue eyes, the same button nose, and the same freckles. No one but themselves really understood how they were such opposites.
Theia sighed wearily as if only looking at her sister tired her greatly. "Honestly Nixxie, why do you bother with those sappy romance novels anyway is beyond me. You and I both know love doesn't exist. Remember mom and dad-?"
"Don't start." Nyx snapped the book shut, staring wide eyed at her sister.
"Don't start what...? You and I both agreed. It's nonsense, so...?" Theia kicked a rock boredly.
"Well I know..." Nyx bit her lip, "But... what if-"
"What if what?? Honestly Nixxie, spit it out."
"Don't call me Nixxie, you know I hate it..." Nyx mumbled, looking at her toes, "I'm just saying... just, what if? What if it is real?" She smiled, "I mean, like in my books... where you're standing in a room crowded with people, and you see someone you've never seen before, a boy, and your eyes meet at the same time, and all you can feel in your heart is pure happiness... and he'll come over and talk to you and his voice will magically make all your problems disappear... and when he kisses you, you can fly, and nothing-"
"Okay okay okay." Theia interupted angrily, "Shut the fluff up.I do NOT want to hear it, give me the book. And let's get going."
"No... my book." Nyx gasped, and hid it behind her back. Knowing she was far too weak to take on her sister.
"Now." Theia came over and snatched the thin paperback from her clutches. She stopped when she saw the look of distress on Nyx's face, and grabbed her hand, giving her some help up. "Don't worry lovely... I'll give it back to you when we stop to set up the next camp, but we've got to get going now, dawn's approaching and we need to get a move on... and wash your hands in the stream. It'll make it harder for them to catch our scent."
Nyx looked away, she tried to avoid all topic of demons... she didn't believe in them. They were fictional monsters that only lived in the world of stories and make believe, along with love. Apparently.
They set off...
Izoda tripped, and caught his balance quickly, sighing in relief as him and his daughter did not in fact, tumble down the cliff to the side. Quest was on his shoulders being very still, and a good girl like he told her to... There wasn't any room for her to walk beside him, and he didn't trust her behind, or in front. They were slowly shifting their way along the narrow ridge on the face of a ginormous cliff about eight hundred stories tall. Normally he would never ever take his daughter, or even himself rather, to such a dangerous place of almost certain death... but he seemed tomake a lot more bad choices now that they had joined forces with Kirari. Her wish... was his command. And she wished him to take his daughter past the cliffs and beyond, to track down two girls no one seemed to know ANYTHING about... and for some strange reason he felt the need to abandon his wife and son just to do her bidding... He shook his head and continued down the cliff. It was best not to question Kirari. After all... she was their saviour.
"Where are we going daddy? I'm scared... I want down." Quest sulked with a quivering lip. "Daddy please I'm scared. Too high up... I might fall. Mommy said not to-"
"Be quiet quest. Don't speak unless spoken to." Her father said sternly, gripping hold of another cut in the cliff, and pulling them along with only some difficulty.
"... okay daddy." Quest held tighter to her father's neck, wishing her mother or Talfryn were there to make daddy be good...

"Yes Ondryn." Ryka whispered breathlessly, while tinkering very busily with the small bronze object on the ground in front of her. The girl's clothes were ripped and torn. Her white hair was stringy with sweat and dirt from the years they'd spent together in this primitive hide-away.
And although Tandia had been living the same way as Ryka, her features showed no difference. Her soft auburn hair was still in it's tight braid, currently slung over her shoulder carelessly, her green eyes were wide awake and as healthy and spiritual looking as ever. She did not sweat, and had no scent whatsoever. And that wasn't the only odd thing about Ondryn... she also had no need to eat, and had to only doze off into sleep for a few scattered unconscious hours a week and she'd be ready for anything at any time, perfect and alert. Ryka tended to joke around with this at times, and call her 'watchdog'. To Ryka, Ondryn's weird powers were something unusual and not to be questioned. But Ondryn knew... she wasn't human. She was part human, part spirit, sharing her body with the spirit of Tandia, an earthbender who had come from the spirit world in order to save her life. They had become one... to some degree anyway... their thoughts were mostly separate, causing many headaches many a day... She'd tried explaning it to Ryka one time, but she'd done nothing but hold up a hand to silence her. "It's none of my business." She had said, "I don't belong in this time."
"Can I ask how much longer you're going to strain yourself at this...? " Ondryn inquired aloud. "You haven't slept in days, I'm worried about you Ryka. You need rest."
"No. I'm so close, I can't stop now. Please leave me be.. It should be done by morning." Ryka muttered stubbornly from under her breath. She was working on fixing the Thymzar, a mysterious little gadget in the shape and form of a clock. Ryka wouldn't tell Ondryn what it was... but she had her guesses.
Mod
"Pardon?" he asked, his eyes still on the very place where he had seen the blur of green. What had it been? Was it just his imagination, or was someone watching them?
"Dunie!" Fuchsia persisted. "What you lookin at?"
"N-nothing..." Dune said slowly, turning to face her. He tried to pretend like nothing had happened, but he knew something was there... and deep down, he knew what it was.
Claire moaned slightly as she dropped the pot of boiling water. "Damn!" She cried out watching the contents seep over the floor and create a giant puddle of stew.
She sighed and grabbed a rag. The stew was gone, and now Fuchsia would complain loudly about not having anyting to eat.
Suddenly two long shadows cast across the grey stone floor where she was cleaning, so she looked up and smiled at her daughter standing hand in hand with Dune.
"How are you two this morning?" Claire asked, returning to cleaning up the mess.
"Really good mama!" Fushsia said smiling, "Dunie and I were playin and it was real fun!"
"Well it sounds like you had fun!"
"I just said that." Fuchsia sighed, "Mama, whats for supper?"
"Fuchsia, its breakfast. Breakfast is the first meal of the day." Claire explained.
"Oh..." Fuchsia said slowly, trying to absorb the information of this new fangled word. "What we eatin?" She asked, giving up with trying to say the word.
"Well it was stew... but mommy dumped it."
"Why?"
"It was an accident."
"Why?"
"Because i slipped."
"Why?"
"Because i washed the floor."
"Why?"
"because it was dirty."
"Why?"
"Becasue you--little girl," Dune said, cutting in, "haven't been washed in a while." he stepped up behind her and scooped her off the ground and instantly her face turned beat red and she burst into tears.
"NO!" She sobbed, "MAMA PLEASE!"
"Its' ok Fuchsia, you'll live." Claire said almost giggling, but at the same time feeling a strong feeling of dread wash over her--her baby was crying...
"Make it STOP!" Dune roared over the loud sobbing and whinning noises of the little child in Claire's arms.
"I'm trying!" Claire yelled back. "I don't know how!"
"Learn!" Dune cried out, throwing his hands over his ears and falling backwards. "She's insane! INSANE I TELL YOU!"
Claire laughed, "She's not insane! She's just tired!"
"THEN SLEEP FOOL!" Dune bellowed. "I'm going out!"
"Where?" Claire asked.
"I'm going to finish the raft." he said... and then he was gone.
Claire watched him go, sad that he was leaving her.
"D..uh...nn...uh..."
"Pardon Dune?" Claire asked.
"I said nothing." He said, returning to lying down in the tree branch.
"D..ew...nnn."
This time both Dune and Claire turned to face Fuchsia.
"Duuune!" She cried out, bursting into a fit of giggles.
Claire began to laugh with her and Dune hopped down from the tree.
"Is she saying my name?" he asked.
Claire nodded. "She's speaking!"
"Duuuune!"
"Here we are!" Dune said, using his hand to gesture to the large air temple that lay on the horizon.
"It's beautiful!" Claire said, taking in the view.
"Dune!" Fuchsia piped up, from Claire's arms.
Claire smirked and handed her baby to Dune which caused her to start laughing once more. "Dune!"
"We should keep going." Claire said as Dune held tightly to the child, affraid that he may drop it.
He nodded, and together they began to walk towards their desired home.
Claire smiled again, she'd be fine... with Dune. She'd always be safe as long as she was with him.
Mod
"Fuchsia... you should go play." He said and then Fuchsia was sighing, and dramatically storming away.
"Fine..."
"Claire... i need to tell you something." Dune told Claire about his theory about the green blur and how he assumed someone was watching them. "Do you know anything?" He asked at her quizzical expression.
"Me? uh--no!" She said slowly, turning away from him.
“I hate you!” Claire yelled running away from the playground. She ran home, years had passed since she met the boy, and they had been best friends ever since, until now. “DAD!” She yelled as she walked in the front door. “I hate him. I HATE HIM!”
“What did he do?” Her father asked greeting her.
“he… he… Just is stupid!”
“Hun, you’re only ten. You’ll get over it, just try and relax.”
“Relax? RELAX?”
There was a brief knock on the door. And it swung open. Green was standing in the doorway with a flower. A daffodil.
Claire smiled at him, “I forgive you!” She said as she ripped the flower from his hand.
“Bye dad.”
“Where are you going!?” He yelled as she walked out the front door.
“Out.” She said as she air bended herself into the air and used her dad’s glider to glide over the forest. She landed with a soft thud in the lawn of Pater’s airtemple house.
“Hello!” Pater said smiling at her, “I’m glad you’re here! Are you and Green going out today again?”
Claire nodded and walked closer.
“Be careful not to get pregnant!” Pater joked.
“It’s not like that!” She said quickly, “We aren’t even dating! I’m only sixteen anyway!”
“That’s what they all say.” Pater said walking away.
Claire had wondered how he knew that they all said that, but instead she walked inside and found Green there.
For some reason, maybe because of what Pater had just said, and maybe because she always had, but she loved him. And she knew that now.
Claire took a step forward and fell to the ground.
When she woke up she stared into the bold green eyes of the boy at her bedside. She took no notice of Pater and her father on the other side of the bed, and instead sat up quickly and kissed Green full on the mouth.
He reacted quickly and wrapped his arms around her.
“And she said they weren’t dating,” Pater joked.
“I think you both should go,” Claire’s dad said.
Pater nodded and motioned for Green to follow.
“I’m sorry about your dad…” Pater said to Claire a year later. “Do you know what happened?”
Claire nodded.
Pater was very shocked for a moment, but said nothing and waited for Claire’s response.
“He drowned himself… he was ashamed…”
Pater sighed of relief. “Ashamed of what?”
“Of me…”
“Why is that?”
“Because I’m in love… with a fire bender.”
Green had avoided Claire very much over the next while, the next year really. He knew that his dad had something planned, and even though he loved her, he didn’t want whatever it was to come true… it couldn’t be good whatever it was, but nonetheless he stayed away, until that one day… she cornered him.
“You are an idiot!” She yelled, “I hate you!”
“Haven’t we done this before?”
“Yeah, but this time, no damn daffodil is going to help you!”
“Look, I’m sorry… I don’t want you to get hurt and I—“
“No!” Claire yelled, “You don’t care about me! You only care about YOURSELF!”
“Claire, that’s not true!” Green said frantically, “I love you!”
“Prove it!” She demanded. “PROVE IT!” She was crying.
Green stepped towards her and kissed her.
She was shocked; she had expected him to walk away, and instead he had kissed her.
She pulled away and slapped him. “How dare you… how dare… you…” She was still crying as she turned and ran away.
Claire had been in her room for the next week, with only the occasional walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Until one day there was a loud knock on the door.
She ignored it at first, but she couldn’t after it continued for a few minutes, so she stood up and walked downstairs and opened the door.
No one was there, but surrounding the front porch were hundreds of daffodils piled up.
She fell to her knees and smiled at them. “Do you like them?” Green asked. He was standing by the corner of the house.
She smiled and nodded. “I do…” He walked towards her and climbed the stairs to the porch, then helped her to her feet. “I… I…”
Green kissed her again as they moved backwards and into the house.
"You sure?" Dune asked a little wearily.
Claire nodded shakily. "Yeah... I'm sure."
Mod
Dune thought of how unawesome he was... and that he should probably work on being a whole lot awesomer.
((haha!! When is Troy going to get to the fire nation!!! grrr!!!))"Zarya!" Archer called, closing the door behind him, pretending not to know where she was. "Come here!!"
Sira looked at the two girls. Missy and Lily. "What dinner is this?" she asked. "I'm sorry but i do not know the date.
"Oh! It's just the *season* festival. Simple dress today, miss, oooh! and we get to watch the fire benders!" Lily rambled off.
"Fire benders?" Sira asked.
"Yes miss Lark!" Missy said. "Would it be amazing to be a fire bender!?"
Sira paused. "What?" she said. "Firebender.." She thought back. She left when she was ten.. her father didn't know she was a firebender!! She had another thing agaisnt him. "I think i might remeber some of those festivals!" she said, playing the part.
Mod
"Miss Sira," Missy said smiling, "you have a visitor!"
"Your father allowed him to speak to you for five minutes, not alone." Lily said quickly.
"Who?" Sira asked, looking back and forth between the two of them.
They both looked to the doorway, so Sira spun her head around and there, leaning against the doorframe, with his brown hair dangling in front of his eyes stood Troy.
"Hey there Sira, You look..." he chuckled at the dress She had been dressed in, "great."
He knew Sira was going to be mad at him for leaving Zarya... but it wasn't his fault! it was his calling.
((yayayayayy!!!!))((oh hahahaha!!! Everyone there calls her Asiraene, hehe, oh well XD Im excited!!!))
"Shhhh!" Sira hissed, pulling him in and tucking a blanket under the door cracks. "Troy!" she said, quietly, surprised. "What are you doing here?!" she said, looking at him. "You shouldn't be here, he can get you, and then he can get Zarya, Troy!" She started pulling the pins out of her hair, letting the long coils fall down.
Mod
Troy smirked, "I'll be fine don't worry." Sira shook her head while running her fingers through her hair. "I've been practicing... i can get out of any vault... And Zarya... well she's going to be fine. They can torture me all they want, but i have no idea where she is."
He knew he shoudlnt' have told Sira that.
She looked at him as if she were about to get very angry, but he said, "I know where she Will be though... will you come with me there?"
((hehe that's ok!))"Come with you?" she growled. "You realize im a prisnor?" she said. "To be wed to some politition!?" she hissed, keeping her voice under control. She wasn't about to slip up now. "And why arn't you with her?!" she said, walking around him and hiding the cheese knive in her shoe. "Do you realize how much you mean to her." she said, coming up on him again. "What the heck is wrong with you." her eyes were blazing. "She needs you more then anyone right now." she said.
Mod
Zarya ignored Archer's voice and stuck to meditating. That was her usual routine these days, get up, eat, meditate until the sun goes down, lay in bed... This was repeated everyday, and no one bothered her about it anymore. Raelynn and Aeros had tried so much at the beginning, but after Petra was born they were busy. Archer had given up after a time, knowing she needed space.Zarya was almost jealous of the connection Raelynn and Aeros had, even though the had to separate he still came back for her. She sighed. Clear your mind, Zarya. Just let go...
Raelynn laughed quietly. "Oh Petra honey, you amaze me everyday." She whispered. She looked up at Aeros. "Would you like me to make some breakfast?" She smiled. "Not that these noodles aren't great, but yeah..."
Sira covered his mouth, and if a swift movement, bent his knees, bringing him flat on the ground, in a silent manner. "Shut. up." she said, her tone scarrier then it had been when it was icy. "Is it Pater? Is that your problem? Why would you think your right for Kirari? When has she been the one to stay by your side when no one would? When would she try to save the world so she could know that the one she loved would still be there?" she said, her face close to his, she shoved him into the ground one more time. "I'm not going with you, now, or maybe never seeing you seem to have lost it. She's in the Earth kingdom, a small cottage in the lower mountains. Tell Archer to meet me here." she glared at him once last time. "Get out of here before i kill you."Archer rolled his eyes, jumping up on the roof. "Not this time. You've had enough time. Your not gonna sulk any more. Have you even held Raelynn's baby?" he said, coming up next to her.
Mod
Sira stared at him in slight disbelief for a moment, and was about to argue, but Troy continued, cutting her off.
"Archer will be with Aeros and Raelynn. Perhaps Zarya will join them. That is not of any worry to me. But Khana--yes, the ex-firelord Khana, Aeros's half sister Khana will be taking them to the exact place that i am to be taking you. So if you do not come, you will not--ever... see Archer again--maybe."
Sira looked at him worriedly, but again in the same look of disbelief.
Brooke dragged Cadac behind her with Aaron following closely behind.
"where are we going?" Aaron asked quickly.
"We're going to go find the avatar..." Brooke responded, again thinking of the mission Tandia had left her. She then thought about Tandia, and how she had been like a sister to her--then she thought about that face... the girl who really was her sister... that familiar face... and voice. She couldn't remember her name or anything about her... just her face.
"excuse me..." brook said slowly, pushing past a large woman with her seven large, round boys.
"Excuse yourself." The woman said.
"I just need through." Brooke said looking onward at the large temple in the distance.
"Then go around. I'm busy here."
"I'm sorry, but i don't see you doing anything. how is that busy?"
"Just get lost shortie." The woman snapped, literal sparks flying.
"GET HER MOM!" The seven boys cheered.
Suddenly the large woman was attacking Brooke, not with her apparent fire bending abilities, but rather with her weight.
"RAWR!" She bellowed.
Brooke, being the pasifist that she was, did not fight back, but merely struggled under the intense weight of the elephenat on top of her.
And then suddenly she was gone, the weight had been lifte and there was a crator in the building next to her.
Brooke was quickly hoisted to her feet from behind. She spun around and saw the face of a boy with green eyes and blonde hair.
"My name is Cadac..." He said slowly.
"Thank you for helping me..." Brooke said slowly.
BLAH BLAH BLAH... they met
Aeros laughed a little, "Yes please," he scooped Petra off of her mother so she could leave, and was then tackled backwards by Petra. She was laughing loudly and poking Aeros all over his face.
Children are strange was all he could think while his daughter poked his nose.
"Petra.... do you want to go for a walk?"
Raelynn and petra both shot him a confused glance, "i already know how." Petra said slowly, as Raelynn looked worriedly to Aeros.
"Just a little one... a little ways into the trees?"
"Outside?" Petra asked excitedly. Outside was a dangerous place. Allowing Petra to go there was beyond strange to her.
"Yes... outside."
"YES!" She screamed in happiness.
Khana walked swiftly through the trees. She was told to find a house in the woods somewhere around this area, and she was about to give up looking. There was officially no house here.
She decided that instead of looking for the house, she would rather have fun instead.
No, Khanaland is closed for the winter her mind told her. She frowned and continued her search, even though it wasn't winter.
"Mommy..." Fuchsia said slowly.
"yes hon...?" Claire asked just as slowly.
"I GOTTA PEE!"
"Go ask Dune to take you, I'm busy..."
"But I really gotta go!"
"Dune!" Claire called out. and soon Dune was in view holding a knife.
"Knives aren't allowed in hands." Fuchsia said. "Grandpa told me."
They exhanged confused glances and sighed, giving up on trying to guess what she meant. "Who is grandpa?"
Fuchsia pointed to a wall.
"Ah...." Dune and Claire chorused.
"You called?" Dune said as if Fuchsia had never spoken.
"Take me pee!" Fuchsia demanded.
"Be nice." Claire said flatly.
"No thanks." Dune said retreating quickly with his random knife.
"Dune..." Claire said slowly, "What are you using the knife for?"
"Suprise...?" he tried.
"He's stabbing the wall." Fuchsia said, watching him slowly. "NO GRANDPA LOOK OUT!" Fuchsia said running off, leaving a puddle behind.
"ew." Claire said quickly, pretending nothing had happened, Dune could clean that...
Shana and Zestos walked along the beach.
Sira's worriedness became anger fast. As always, when she had lost her trust in someone, when someone had betreyed her. "You are in no position to make a threat to me like that." she growled, she could feel her hands growing hot, which wasn't a good thing. "I don't know what has happened to your head, but you seem to have forgotten who and what i am." She held fire in her hand, up to his chin. "I am Sira. I am a theif, a pirate, firebender, and most of all, Troy, i am your protector." she blew it out in his face, then did a swift whirl kick, landing it strait in his temple, planning on it knocking him out.((you can choose if he's knocked out or not. up to u XD))
Mod
Sira shook her head. "Im sorry Troy, but i can't let you leave now." "ARAK!!!" she suddenly screamed, gasping herself. Arak and about ten other gaurds came into the room, ready to attack. "He.. he.. he tried to kill me!!" she said, acting the total damsil in destress. "Please!! Take him to the jail!!" she cried, as Missy and Lily came running over to sooth her.
Mod
As the guards began to drag him he called over his shoulder, "Kirari wouldn't of sent me if she didn't think i could suceed." Sira said nothing, "You will come with me... and you will find Archer... and you WILL find out what Kirari has planned."
Arak glanced from Troy to Sira. "Do i... know him?" Arak said, looking confused. Sira glanced at him, and for a second, forgetting where she was said:"Yeah, Arak, you do." She realized her mistake and looked at Lily and Missy, who didn't even seem to notice.
"Miss! You have to get dresesd for the festival!!" Lily said, seeing the time. With that they shreiked, pushing Arak out of the room and started on her again.
Mod
"What? oh..." Arak sighed, explaining the festival.
"Sounds fun... can i watch?" Troy asked.
"No you certainly may not."
Sira sat down as Lily covered, with lite colored makeup, the horrid scar on her shoulder. She remebered that one. One of those Zombies got her. So many years ago it was, she was barly paying attetion as she was emerged in her memories.Sira gaze a look of concern to Archer, then muttered a 'code word' "Flight." she said, and Archer nodded, looking at Zarya. "So... your Zarya?"
"Yes. And I want you to know something right now. If you even try and turn on us, hurt even a single hair on any of my friends heads I swear I'll end you where you stand." Zarya said stiffly
Sira thought back on that. She remembered that anger she felt toward Zarya before. She couldnt believe she ever said that. She smiled thinking back on that.
Sira gasped for breath and struggled. What was happeneing! Archer glanced and saw Sira. "Sira!" he said, forgeting his fight for a second. Sira looked at him, he couldn't lose now. Then she had that glint in her eyes. That forever fighter glint. A smile twitched at him, and he turned to his opponent.
Thinking of Archer snapped her out of her past. It seemed things were great back then, even when they wern't. But she was with Archer every day even when they did hate each other, it did feel better to be near him. Now being so far away it made her chest ache. She felt broken. It wasn't just Archer that made her feel that way though. Being away from Zarya, Troy, Aeros, Raelynn, everyone else, it made her feel incomplete. Like leaving her family.
Family.
Sira looked in the mirror, at her eyes, suddenly realizing. They were her family. Family is ment to stick together.
Her eyes moved to the rest of her. Her eyes were outlined with charcoal and her eye lashes looked even darker. Her lips here left their light pink, but they applied rose color to her cheeks. She didn't really like it. It wasn't her. To her she looked like some rich, snotty, princess about to be married to her dumb faced husband.
"Miss! You'll never believe your dress!" Sira turned to look at Lily, and she didn't.
Mod
Troy and Arak walked along down the stone floored hallway. “Where are you taking me?” Troy asked.
“I’m taking you to the guards so they can take you to the prison.” Arak replied simply.
“But… I’ll just escape.” Troy said.
“No, no you won’t.” Arak said. “The prison is made of metal.”
“Uhm…” Troy sighed, “Duh.”
“Besides. Lord Pater says that bending is against the law.”
“I don’t really care.” Troy said, stomping his foot and flying through the roof of the hallway, and bending earth beneath him to bring him toward the roof of the castle.
Before heading back to Kirari, he wanted to check out this festival that Sira had spoken of.
Aeros looked out the window of his bedroom as Raelynn took Petra to the kitchen to make some breakfast that might not kill them all if eaten.
He just liked watching the leaves blow across the ground—fall was a wonderful season… but it wasn’t the leaves that had caught his eyes today.
Suddenly he was running through the house and out the door. “I’ll be back!” he called to Raelynn and Petra—both Zarya and Archer were now gone.
“Daddy!” Petra called, “I wanna go on da walk!”
“Wait here Hon,” he said, slipping his shoes on. “I’ll be right back. I swear.”
He shot a feeble smile at Raelynn and then shot out the door. He ran across the back lawn of the house and hopped over the worn down fence, and then ran into the trees.
“Where are you?” he called out. “I saw you!” He was worried that it hadn’t been a human he had seen, but a spirit.
“I’m here.” A voice said calmly. “Aeros.”
Aeros spun around and saw the dark haired girl. “Khana!” he cried out, running toward her and wrapping his arms around her—just to make sure she was still alive. “Are you ok?”
“I’m fine Aeros.” Khana said.
“Where have you been?”
“With Troy.” Khana smiled. “All along.”
“Troy?” Aeros looked over his shoulder toward the house, and thought of Zarya, “Where is he?” Aeros asked.
“He will meet us on a hill nearby.” Khana said. “After he gets miss Sira.”
Khana was being oddly friendly, but it had been two years—perhaps she had changed?
“Sira?” Aeros gasped, thinking of Archer this time. “Where is this hill?”
“I can not tell you.” Khana said, “I can only lead you there. With all the others.”
“All of them?” Aeros asked. “Why all of them?”
“Because we are all meeting on that hill.”
Aeros nodded. “I see…” he sighed, “I’ll let them know.” he turned back to the house… “Wait here.”
Shana jumped at Zestos taking her hand and nervously looked up at him. They hadn’t so much as touched each other since she had kissed him in that prison cell two years ago—it was far too awkward… she felt her face turn red as they walked together.
”Where are we going to go?” Zestos asked once they had escaped Pater’s palace.
“I want to find the avatar.” Shana said. “She should still have your brother as well.”
Zestos nodded, unsure of whether his brother should be raised by him or not. “Why do you need the avatar?”
“I still haven’t had the chance to tell her… that I’m sorry.” Shana said.
“You’re sorry?”
“We’ve been through this. I’m sorry I tried to kill her.”
“Ah yes…” Zestos smiled, “Alright. We’re off to see the avatar.”
Zestos was worried about what Shana would do when he took her hand, but she seemed to be rather ok with the awkward situation.
“Where to next?”
“We’re still off to find the avatar.” Shana sighed.
“I know, but where do you think she is?”
“I have no idea. I think she’s…”
“She’s…?”
“Let’s just keep looking.”
“DUNE! FUCHSIA!” Claire called out. “Breakfast!”
Dune and Fuchsia both appeared ever so suddenly around the corner and leaped into their chairs and each began to devour the food that Claire had made for them. “Careful hon… don’t choke.” Claire said.
“I won’t.” Dune said.
“I.. I was talking to Fuchsia.
“I won’t!” She chiped.
Ammos walked.
Alli sat down to eat what her mother had cooked her for breakfast.
Voril wandered around gathering fruit.
Kerai started a fire for breakfast.
Brooke grabbed the two boys once more and pulled them into an alley as so soldiers ran by. “Let’s go.” She said quickly, darting down the alley.
“When can we stop running?” Cadac asked. “I would really enjoy thumping those losers in the head with this sword…”
“Never!” Brooke cried out. “Violence is a last resort!”
“You’re such a goodie goodie!” Cadac laughed.
“Am not!”
“Are too!” Aaron and Cadac said together as they ran behind her.
Cadac suddenly began to run faster, taking Brooke’s arm and running ahead, dragging her behind.
“wait!” Aaron cried out, “I can’t run that fast!”
Brooke reached back and grabbed his hand.
“Slow down!” Aaron called as they were all dragged by Cadac.
Aaron didn’t enjoy Cadac’s company as much as Brooke seemed to. It was true that he did like him, and they were friends, but he had never had a friend before—Cadac or Aaron, and Cadac didn’t seem to know how to treat them.
In any case it was never a dull moment with him around.
Kirari stood on the tall building watching the group as they ran past. They were still such children, even having each been of age for at least two years. She sighed and leaped to the next building, following them closely.
Blue was still sleeping because he was tired out from his work with his rebel army.
Green kicked a stone and watched it bounce along the ground. Where it went he didn’t really care. He was torn. He could only return to Pater when Claire was dead—otherwise he’d be known as a traitor and killed on the spot… but he couldn’t just kill her—he loved her. As well as the child… the one known as Fuchsia. He had never met the poor thing… but he knew it was his… it was his baby.
Suddenly he stopped walking and fell down onto his knees. He had come to a cabin in the woods with a raised porch. It looked much older than the last time he had seen it… but he still knew what it was. Lining the house were dafodil’s… many, many dafodil’s…
Pater threw open the door to the round room, “Cyri—go. You know what to do. Kori, Ju Di, come with me.” The three girls set into action without being told a second time, Cyri was off, running past Pater and Kori and Ju Di were walking fast to keep pace with him.
Soon they were in the throne room and Pater was leading them outside.
“Where are we going sir?” Kori asked.
“Cyri is starting the sub for us.” Pater said smirking, “As to where the sub will take us… you’ll see.”
Kori thought madly about what Pater had found—what was it that was so cool and important? Had he found the girl and his son? Had he found the time girl? Or better yet… had he found the avatar?
Ju Di sighed and looked at the flowers in the gardens as they passed by them. As much as she hated Raelynn she much would rather be working for her than for Pater. At least that way she didn’t have to kill…
Sira controlled herself. She didn't burn the dress to ashes. It was a start, for her at least. She put it on, trying hard not to die. I'm not doing this for myself, she kept reminding herself. "Look Miss Asiraene!" Lily said, turning Sira to the full body mirror. She simpley nodded, just glancing at herself. Her mother always did like clothing like this. She was always to perticular about clothing. Nothing she could firebend in she was always to wear. The light orange dress fell over her body, gripping it slightly, and too low cut for Sira's tastes. With white lace wrapped around the top half and drapping into the bottom. Her hair, slightly curled and tied back in a gold pin behind her, rested on her shoulder.
Her eyes, colored a pink and yellow, looked forign to her. Like what she could have been, if she stayed. Gold dots, tiny, just about her eyebrows, got a little larger at the center piece between her eyes and on her forehead. A gold disign, making her look... royal.
Sira felt like tearing into flames. She hated it. With just one glance. "Are you ready?" A voice came from the door. It sounded fimilar. The door opened and a older women came in.
"Asiraene." the women said, not even acknologing Lily and missy's low bows. The women smiled. "Daughter."
"Mother." Sira said, through painted lips.
"You look just like she did." Her mother said, sittin gon her bed. "Please excuse us Missy, Lily, we will meet you at the festival. I would like to accompany my daughter." They left.
"Who?" Sira said, not smiling, nor frowning. Her mother, with her blond hair and pale blue eyes, never really took intrest in her the way she did Sira's sisters.
"Your mother." she said, smiling. When Sira showed confustion, she sighed. "I figured it's best to tell you now, before you leave again."
"I-."
"Your mother was my sister, Sira." she continued. "She was known for her beauty and grace, as well as her bending. She hated royal life, just like you did. When she was married to your father, she was about to leave. When she got pregnant. With you."
Sira's eyes widened. Her real mother wasn't here. She was...
Her Aunt took a breath. "Her name was Lydila. Shortly after you weree born, her heard her husand, your father, planning her death, because she would not corroperate in court."
Sira remained calm. It was the oddest thing to her, but she wanted to know.
"Then she left. It is unknown where she went, all she told me that night was this, her story. Shortly after, my father perposed a wedding to your father and I." She stood up. "Now, Sira, after the festival, you must leave." She came over and took her arm. "I.. i wasn't much of a mother too you, io'm sorry for that.. but now.. maybe i can make up for it. Leave tonight, anyway you can. And don't come back. I've tried my best to keep track of you, all these long years. I know what your capable of. You must never come back." She reached up to touch her cheek. "Asiraene..." Tears filled her eyes.
"Thank you." Sira whispered, kissing her cheeck. Slowly the puzzle piece of her life were falling together.
Mother and aunt left the home, and entered the crowded festival street arm in arm.

Troy slid from the top of the building and bended some earth to help him get lower to the ground. He was rather excited about the festival. There were people everywhere and they were singing and dancing, there was a large and long parade. It looked really exciting!
but i think if i can remember my plans correctly my characters are in these groups, let me know if your characters moved and then we can start.
Aeros left Codai, Fajra, Vaer, Ammos, Alli and Moira. He took Khana to go find Raelynn, but Raelynn wasn't at her castle because Pater's army is still there, so he and Khana went looking,
Troy ran away from Zarya to find Kirari. but Troy met up with them and told them that Raelynn was with Zarya the last time he checked. Khana left Aeros to go with Troy and they found Kirari in a forest.
Aeros met up with (Sira, Archer, Zarya?) Raelynn... i think.
Ammos left Vaer, Codai, and Fajra with his family and returned to the desert, hoping Vaer would come, but he's not my character so i dunno.
Claire and Dune made an epic raft and returned to the mainland, in search of Zarya, with Fuchsia. Claire and Fuchsia found her--i dunno about Dune. Or how or where Zarya was when they found her.
Brooke found Aaron and is searching around for Zarya and such...))
