The Journey

Chapter 25: Memories

Song: Where are we now by mamamoo

Seokjin p.o.v:
"Let your body control the fire." I tell Namjoon "Don't think too much, feel the element."
"It is hard." He complains.
"ofcourse it is hard." I chuckle " your origin is water, fire is his counterpartner it is only logical you struggle with it."
"I am never going to get it." Namjoon sits down with his hands in his hair 
"You will," I sit down next to him placing my hand on his knee "Just have patience, you know the elements might be different but they have also things in common."
"Like what?"
"Who were the original benders?" 
"Dragons of fire, Badgermoles of earth, skybisons of air and fish of water." He replies.
I smile at him "They were all animals, animals who used their bending to live. and help others"
"I still don't get it."
"You are the avatar you inherited the abillity to wield these elements, They are a part of you just like they were a part of the animals you mentioned." I stand up "So use them like the badgermoles did to create tunnels for the forbidden lovers, or to give someone life like the koi fish did to the princess of the north and that are just examples." I offer him my hand " Avatar Wu, the first avatar to exist used his powers to bring peace between humans and spirits making the avatar the bridge between the worlds. Now get up and don't lose hope."
Namjoon took my hand and stood up "Thank you for this."
"Don't thank me." I gaze in his eyes "You have all those traits in you to create peace and I am sure you will be a great Avatar. I am just here to help you along the way." 
"How do you know so much about Avatars? " he asks me.
"Would you believe me if I said that I am a descendant of Avatar Wu." I wink at him "His first element was fire so it makes sense his descendants would continu being firebenders." 
"So mother or father side?"
"Mother." I smile.
"You have never told us about your mother before. Can I ask what happend to her?"
"She dies because of an illness when I was just a teenager."
"I am sorry." He hugs me. I held my breath as his arms wrapped around me.
"Don't be." I stutter "it was a long time ago."
"Still you must miss her." He replies.
"I do, everyday." I reply stepping out of his embrace, my eyes watering "What about your parents?"
"My mother died giving birth to Jimin, I was still very young back then so I never really knew her. My dad on the other hand died just recently when he tried to protect out village from the firenation, Jimin and I were out fishing when it happend and when we returend we saw our tribe was flooded with soldiers so we ran and ended up in the earthkingdom where we met Jungkook and the others not long after that."
"I am sorry."  I place my hand on his cheek, wiping away his tears,
"Thank you." he sobs.
"I think it is better if we stop our training for now." I suggest "And get something to drink."
"good idea." He replies.
"GUYS." Hoseok screams running towards us "The firenation is here, they found us,"
"well that was a short vacation at the airtemple." Jungkook mutters "So what do we do now?"
