Maya's pov
While I was walking with Guru Pathik, he told me about Aang's return. There's talk of two watertribe kids traveling with a bald Munk to be named the Avatar.
"Do you believe he's prepared, Pathik?" I asked him. He inhaled deeply while sitting in the lotus position "not yet, my dear. But he will soon." He said softly, his gaze fixed on the clouds.
I can't wait to see Aang; I know it'll be confusing, but I'll also be heartwarming to know he's not the only airbender. My past life Avatar Yangchen chose me when I was born.
Fire, Water, and Earth, like the other nations. We have been chosen by previous Avatar's to assist the current Avatar in bringing peace.
Yusha, Ahri, Yanna, and Cara, my friends were all chosen from previous Avatar's. Roku chose Yusha and Ahri, Avatar Imiq chose Yanna, and Avatar Salai chose Cara.
We are chosen seconds after birth to help and protect the next Avatar. We are given unbelievable power in order to protect the Avatar, which is why Spirit Animals are bestowed upon us. Spirit animals and animals that represent nations are different from spirit animals.
The air nomads have the flying bison, but the white Phoenix is their spirit animal. The water tribe has the polar dog, but the sea serpent is their spirit animal. The Fire Nation has the dragon, and their spirit animal is also a dragon but the dragons have powers given from the Avatar's to protect themselves. Same thing for the earth Kingdom, which is bager moles.
We were sworn off to secrecy as children by the fire nation. If an Avatar protector died, it would greatly upset the previous Avatar's, causing the Avatars to wreak havoc on the world, which would be disastrous.
As we grew older, we were forced into hiding by the FireLord, Yusha and Ahri got the short end of the stick, because they have to be guarded by palace soldiers 24/7, can't leave no matter the circumstance. The rest of us could choose where to go.
It's heartbreaking to watch people suffer and die from hunger and mistreatment while powerless to intervene. But the Avatar has returned and brought hope to us, so no longer will we sit and hide and watch as the world turns to dust.
"He'll, be ready. Patience is key." I told, Pathik confidently. He chuckled and nodded with hopeful eyes and a smile on his face. "Yes." He said, reaching beside him drinking out of a bowl. "Onion and banana juice?" He asked me, I scrunched my face up at the juice and pushed his bowl away. "No thanks, I'm ok." I laughed.
