The Last Airbenders

The Cave

Y/N's POV:

I wake up in the flying bison saddle. I had a orange fluffy blanket around my body. I look up to the sky, we were still flying. I saw the beautiful colors of the sky, white and pink clouds, purple and baby blue sky.

Wait... how does Aang know where we are going?!

I jolt up. Oh wait, Mei probably told him. Since I was up I went over to see Aang still at the reigns. "Aang, did you sleep. At all?" I asked behind him. He jolted his head up. "Well, I was sleeping." He muttered.
I blush and muttered. "Oops.."

"Here let me take the reigns now." I stated as I slip next to Aang. "Wha- no. Y-you will get *yawns* hurt.." he replied back. "Pff, ok." I say sarcastically, I grab the reigns from him and start flying for us. "H-Hey!" He mumbled. I click my tongue. "Go. Rest." I stated as nod my head to the blanket.

He goes to the blanket, defeated. I smirk at myself and look to the sun rise.

Time Skip

It was about two hours since Aang went to sleep. I look in the distance to see the waterfall I played in. "Hey! Aang! Wake up! We are here." I shout to Aang. He jolts up in surprise but then looks around. "I'm home.." I whispered to myself.

We land at the little tiny hole. "This is the entrance?" Aang asks pointing to the tiny hole. "No. Well, it isn't the main entrance. This is just a closer way into the cave, if we went to the main one it would take awhile to find it." I reply crouching in front of the hole. "You can fire bend right?" I asked Aang. He nods. "Ok, you lead the way then. There aren't any turns or corners so you can just crawl straight." I say. He just nods again and crawls into the hole. One of his hands were up, holding the fire. I crawl after him.

"Aang, I can't wait for you to meet Nidra! She is such a kind old lady. She is like a mother to me." I say out of the blue. It has been quiet for awhile so I started off a conversation. "Yeah, I really can't wait!" He replied.

"By the way.." he starts with. "Do you have parents? Just a question, because a hundred years ago, the kids back then didn't have parents. The parents would choose to leave them there and meet them later in life or to keep them until at least fourteen." He asked. I just stayed silent for a little bit. "Y/N?" He muttered sounding worried. "S-Sorry, um. Well my parents died protecting the cave when I was nine. The monks said they died because of a cult or something." I replied with.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry." He says. "It's ok." I replied with. "It wasn't your fault...." I say, but then I think again. If Aang didn't run away then my parents would most likely still be alive. We would be able to fly outside, live in the temples. I then shake it off, Aang didn't leave on purpose, right...?

We finally made it to the end of the hole. We are in my attic. "Um, I thought you said you lived in a cave?" Aang asks confused, still holding fire in his left hand. "This is my attic silly." I giggled. We get out of the attic and the house. It was empty and darker. The once bright crystals on the ceiling are now faded. "Nidra?!" I shout with my hands cupped around my mouth.

I start running, I hear Aang's calls but I ignore him.
"Radu!" I screamed.

"PAMA!"

                                                              "VISH!"

"JANI!"

"NIDRA!"

Tears start run down my cheeks, I keep running around the cave like a mad woman. No one was there. The library usually has travelers in there but no one was there. Kids would play at the playground but it was empty. The small temple used to have monks but no one to be seen.

I run towards the fountain, there was something on the ground. I run closer to it. I stopped. My heart starts pounding so hard on my chest. I feel like puking.

"Nidra..." I cry silently.
