Summery: After over a decade of evading the gaang, you finally slip and once again captured by the controlling claws of your obsessive ex-friends.

Sand swept past you, some grains of it brushing against your eyelashes while blazing rays of sunlight beamed down on your half covered face, the golden chariot temporarily blinding your vision as your eyes gazed up at the clear sky. The sun was slowing inching west, planning to go into hiding for another night.
Your boots trudged through heavy layers of sand, making their way towards a ostrich-horse. You placed some bottles of water in the carrier sack on the ostrich’s back before hauling yourself up on it. Your eyes wandered towards the sun once more; analysing, calculating.
Your hands quickly pulled at the reins, ushering the animal to begin running. Your heartbeat rose as you rode faster and faster. Running away into the east as if the sun itself would begin chasing you.
For years it seemed as if it was chasing you, for 12 years you had ran. Escaped. Hidden. Looked over your shoulder as if a familiar- controlling hand would pull you back into a nightmare you had struggled so desperately to escape from.
You couldn’t let them find you, so you ran and hid.
Over and over again. Never staying in the same place for too long.
Your counterfeit stared back at you from the vivid water you loomed over. Your hands splashed your dehydrated skin with the clear liquid; your eyes glazed over your reflection once more before you stood to you full height.
Your hand gently took hold of leather reins as you walked along the muddy ground, surrounded by colossal trees towering over your figure. You guided your ostrich along the slightly noticeable path etched into the ground; you followed the path until it led you to a small village.
The village sat near the edge of the water, sailors docking on the land while hauling wooden crates filled to the brim with fish. You tied the reins of my companion to a tree not so far from the village before facing this uncharted place by yourself.
It was in the Earth kingdom but was a bit close to the eastern air temple, just to be careful you would only stay for a day or two.
The crunch of tiny stone under your boots filled the air for a brief second before dissipating within the cacophony of voices of the busy street. There were rows of stalls lined along the street, some selling fruits that looked to polished, some selling jewellery that was already rusting. Along the bustling market there were alleyways between the stone buildings, some harbouring shady looking people; their eyes darting around with a glint resembling a predator.
Your hand tightened around the rope dart hanging on your belt, it was mostly hidden by the large cloak that adorned your body. As you eyed the not-so-friendly looking thugs, one man’s piercing gaze met yours. His eyes were a deep shade of green, like an amazon forest; beautiful on the outside, deadly on the inside.
He motioned to his pals, while still maintaining the eye contact, attracting their attention to you as well. Abruptly you took a sharp turn, your body moving hurriedly through an alleyway, a metallic stench hit your nostrils but you chose to ignore it for now. The sound of your steps through small puddles were cut by rushed, hammering strides following closely behind you.
It was those bandits, they were charging right at you. “Get them!”, the seemingly leader barked at his minions. Your breathing hastened, blood pumping faster, adrenaline starting coursing through your blood like an addicting drug that you couldn’t let go of. Your heels swerved around streets, drifting through the village as civilians just moved out of the way, continuing on with their mundane tasks.
Your boots beat against the ground until they caught on a stray pebble, pushing your body into disarray as it stumbled. Before the bandits could cash in their opportunity to catch up- a strong arm pulled you into a building before slamming the door shut.
Darkness reigned over the room accompanied by thin streaks of sunlight ,piercing through tiny crevice in the cobbled wall, they barely allowed your eyes to detect a figure Infront of you, his back facing you. Your ‘saviour’.
From his earlier grasp on you, you could tell from his build that he was a man. Your hand wrapped around your rope dart, waiting for a movement to signal you to pounce on him.
“Whew, those guy were really set on robbing you-“, the sharp glint of your dart was pointed right in his face as he turned to face you.
“I’m not trying to hurt you or kidnap you! So just put the pointy thing down!”, he exclaimed as his hands flew up in surrender.
“Funny your mind thinks that I’m afraid of you hurting me”. You replied, your hand slowly lowering your weapon.
The blazing heat from the sun was replaced with soft glows from the sunset you and currently sat infront of on a ledge. Soft breezes flew past you, allowing a strand of your hair to slip out, you stared at the man sat next to you. You’re “hero” he named himself, his birth name being Renko. He was in his late teens to early twenties, a youthful shine on his face as his silky voice continued rambling on about a time he wrestled a Platypus-bear by himself. Clearly a tall tale judging by his lean figure which would barely hold up in a fight against you.
Your eyes bored into him, as if searching deep inside for something that you lacked. His carefreeness. He spoke without a care in the world, fully expressing the emotion in each word he pronounced.
“Enough about my spectacular adventures, how about you? You’re a traveller no? I’m sure you’ve had some encounters of your own. Though not as awesome as mine I presume.”. He exclaimed with a tone of arrogance, but not one that made you want to claw his face off. He was boastful but, in a way, where it seemed more comedic rather than obnoxious.
“Me? I just…. enjoy seeing new places...”. You lied with a sigh escaping your lips, however an expression of excitement washed over Renko’s face as abruptly sprang to his full height.
“If you enjoy new places, you have got to see the lantern festival!”, he beamed as he tugged at your arm. With another exasperated sigh you allowed him to drag you along.
Small flickering flames were lit inside of the hollow lanterns, people gripped onto them tightly, afraid of accidentally letting go before the right time. Renko was busy arguing with one of the sellers at a lantern stall.
“I told you 2 copper coins for 2! Nothing more”
“Only 2 copper coins?! Son I told you the fixed price is 4 coins for 1 lantern!”
A small chuckle escaped your lips seeing Renko relentlessly negotiating with the vendor. You turned away from the stalls to look at the centre of the village, there were giant origami statues made of paper and some dragon dancers parading around them.
The corner of your lips turned up, a faint smile plastered on your face as you saw children gawk at the dancing dragons breathing fire. The flames filled the air with a warm glow, emitting a sense of solace inside of you.
Maybe you could actually settle down here…
The dancers once again roared flames out of there mouth, the audience breaking out in applause when your eyes caught a flicker of orange light bouncing onto the origami statues.
Before you could fully comprehend the situation, the origami burst into scorching flames, the wind further riled it, it grew larger more violent before spreading its savageness to the other statues. In a matter of second the entire centre, bustling with people was engulfed in flames. Your muscles stilled, your limbs refusing to obey, you stood there motionless as the flames grew nearer and nearer.
Renko grabbed your shoulder, breaking you out of your trance.
“(Name)! We gotta go!”, he yelled over the cacophony of screams and shouts of terrified civilians fleeing from the fire.
Renko had a tight grasp over your arm, pulling you away the scene. You turned your head, glancing at the large mass of fire, its roaring ember flames reaching higher when a large wave of greyish water rose behind the fire, before crashing down on the rampant flames. The orange inferno withered beneath the water’s ambush, its once-ravenous hunger reduced to sizzling whispers of steam.
The water was clearly being bended.
Huh… You didn’t know there was a waterbender in this village…
Your eyes tracked the movement of the water, push and pull, seeing 2 figures in the distance one draped in blue while the other was adorned in orange and beige cloths.
Renko turned to face you.
“(Name)? Are you okay?- is that?.... the avatar!”
Your orbs remained glued to those 2 figures. Those haunting figures. Your muscles tensed up under Renko’s sun kissed hand, you blood no longer rushing, it stilled, waiting for a command. Should you scream? Run? Break down in tears on the floor?
It felt as though a rock had been throttled in your throat, your throat’s walls scarping against its sharp edges, one you could not swallow. While a boulder seemed to press tightly against your chest, pushing your ribcage further towards your lungs. A single tear escaped from the corner of your eye, sliding down your cheek before dangling on the edge of your jaw.
Yet you could not look away. Away from those nightmarish figures who were now surrounded by a crowd of wide-eyed civilians applauding their heroic actions.
If only they knew of their cruelties…
Your eyes bored into the back of Aang’s head, you could almost see the shiver running down the top of his head to his neck and then down his spine before his head snapped in your direction.
Your eyes aligned for a split second before the panic fully set in.
You burst into a full sprint, eyes wide, heart beating wildly against your ribcage. “(Name)? Why are we running now?!”, Renko exclaimed from your side while sprinting to keep up with you.
You kept your gaze forward, continuing to sprint with only one thought.
“Okay you’re acting crazy (Name). Why did you run out of the village like that?”, Renko questioned while breathing heavily, exhausted from the sudden sprint.
You didn’t reply, your hands too busy fixing the saddle on the ostrich-horse before turning back to look at the village.
Your eyes gazed longingly, unwilling to look away just yet.
This day, these memories with Renko, you would cherish them deeply, hold them tight to your heart- scared to let go.
“Renko…. I’m sorry but I cannot stay here any longer. I-I cannot explain why but I must leave”. You stepped closer to Renko, now staring deeply into his eyes, tracking his emotions shift from confusion to disappointment to a sort of understanding solace.
“Thank you for today….”. Tears welled up in your eyes, you shut them close, mourning the loss of a chance at happiness.
“I will- “. You began to speak again when a colossal boulder crashed into Renko’s side, barely missing you. Your heart picked up its earlier panic when a pain of heavy hands rested on your waist from behind.
“(Nickname), I cant believe you would lie and betray us like this…”. Aang’s chilling voice made your body motionless again but your eyes still wandered down to Renko’s body… laying limp on the floor with blood streaks staining his green clothes.
Warm tears flooded out of your eyes, cascading down your cheeks, then splattering over the ground next to pools of velvet blood, until your tears were smoothly waterbended off of your face by Katara.
So pitiful, you couldn’t even cry.
Katara’s warm hands gently cupped you face.
“You’re alive…”, she whispered against your lips before pressing hers against yours, while Aang pressed tender kisses along your neck, his head nestled in the crook.
“You can finally come home my love”, Katara whispered, breaking apart from your lips as more tears washed over your face.
“But first we’ll have to remove this vermin…”, her eyes glaring at Renko’s body passed out unconscious on the floor.
You opened your mouth to protest but was cut off by Katara aggressively smashing her lips against yours while a needle pricked your neck. “N-no..” you whispered as Katara’s face started to blur before your eyes like a half-formed ghost.
Yet again fate somehow managed to drop you right into the den of predators once more.
