Fire Within

Sokka

It's been one week since the weird feeling with Oo-Long. We call him Oo. He is very convenient for picking fruit and gathering nuts. We haven't shot any animals down as Amala has shamed anyone who suggests it. I can tell Takeo and Roku are getting a little tired of no meat. My earth bending has improved as well as my air, but still no luck for fire and water. I know that healing takes months, even years, but I really want to start being a full avatar.

"Ishir," I turn around and see a small man standing in front of my, he is leaning with his whole body on a stick that his left hand holds. His skin is dark and looks leathary, I can see his bones underneath his flabby skin. He only wears a loincloth and his feet are bare with calaces.

"How do you know my name?" I ask him, knowing I have never met this man.

"Old people know things." he grins, showing only 6 yellow teeth. The rest are gone. "Ishir, you must follow me." he turns around very quickly and starts walking away like a little monkey. It takes a moment for me to realize that I need to follow this man and he is about half a mile away now. I grab my bag and charge towards him. Once I catch up with him he chuckles and keeps walking, this time a little slower.

We walk for about five miles before he stops by a large tree and puts his stick in one of the holes. The tree opens, revealing a tunnel. I lower my head as we venture down into darkness. Roots and mud surround us and bugs crawl on my feet. I earthbend them off of me when the old man pulled water from the roots.

"You're a water bender!" I exclaim, the old man laughs in his throat and turns around.

"My name, in case you were wondering, is Sokka."

My mouth gaped open in amazement. This could not be Master Sokka, he was a waterbender and had been dead for over a 100 years.
"Oh Ishir, close your mouth." He said without even turning around. I closed my mouth but still speechless. The old man reached behind him and pulled a scroll out of his loin cloth. The scroll has the Southern Water tribe symbol on it. Sokka handed me the scroll and opened it. It was a family tree.

Ok I'm working on drawing the family tree so I'm sorry, but yeah.
