After I had woken up, the Oni masked stranger had given me a small bag. Then they disappeared. Inside the bag was both Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom money. I'm going to try to spend as little as I can so that I can return the rest if I ever see them again.
I believe they had left me somewhere in the Earth Kingdom. I had stopped at a village where I had bought a brown leather satchel and a new pair of clothes. A brown haori over my black undershirt, and a pair of black baggy pants that tighten around my ankles. The Fire Nation colored haori and hakama pants had been placed in the satchel. Along with the bag of money and some bread I bought and a canteen.
'Zuko better be taking care of Chip, or I'll kill him.' I think grumpily as I stalk through a forest, along a river. My plan is to either find the Gaang or Zuko... Or I'll just travail the world.
My attention is draw to the river where there are several bags floating along. 'Someone must have lost those.' I think running into the water to collect the stuff after placing my satchel down.
I manage to grab two of the bags as the rest float away. Once back on shore, I grab my satchel and speed up my pace along the river.
At the end of the river is a pond and waterfall. There is no one here, but it looks like they had just left. Sighing, I tie the two small bags onto mine and begin looking for a village, as that must be where they went.
I walk aimlessly till I reach a dirt path. 'If I can't find the owners of these bags, I'm taking them.' At the end of the path is a village with a harbor. Many of the people here look very sketchy. I clutch my satchel as I watch around me carefully.
Everything is going smooth, no one trying to rob me, no fights. That is until I run into someone. I go to glare at them until they speak. "I am so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." The familiar bald monk apologizes.
"It's no probable, Aang." I pat his head as his eyes shine in recognition. "You're one of the Kyoshi Warriors!" He exclaims.
I grin proudly. "Yep!"
Before we can continue our conversation, the two watertribe siblings appear out of nowhere. "Aang, you need to not wander around." Katara scolds the young Avatar, before turning her attention to me.
"Kim, what happened? You were at the temple, but then you where gone?" She questions.
Shrugging, I reply. "I was kidnapped my Commander Zhao, and a friend of broke me out." I then recall the bags from the river. "Oh, did you guys happen to lose some bags in a river?" I ask to which Sokka nods violently.
"Well, here." I say handing Sokka the two small bags. "Sorry, I was only able to get those two." I rub the back my neck sheepishly. Katara waves it off as Sokka search through the bags.
I turn to leave, but Aang grabs my hand. "How about you come with us?" He asks with a smile. I look to the siblings, Katara smiles welcomingly and Sokka just shrugs.
"Sure."
And with that we continue walking, looking at shop stales as we pass by. From this walk I learn that they only have two copper pieces left. To which I offer some of my money. Katara tried to decline only for Sokka to cut her off, excepting the money. I give him one gold piece and a few silvers.
"Earth Nation! Fire Nation! Water Nation!" A man by a wooden ship yells out. "As long as bargains are your inclination, you're welcome here! Don't be shy, come on by!"
I roll my eyes and continue walking, until he runs up to Sokka. "Oh, you there!" He calls. "I can see from your clothing that your world traveling types." He says as we continue walking. "Perhaps I can interest you in some exotic curios?"
