Error's POV two weeks later

I've grown quieter these days, opting to listen to others instead of talking since that attracts less attention to me. I have completed my Earth Kingdom clothes and wear them under my fluffy coat and mask that apparently connect me to Water Tribes. It's fine by me. I've heard plenty of news on the street and know by now who are dangerous and the ones to look out for. Ya know, the "big, mean, evil, and bad guys" group. Apparently called the Fire Nation full of "benders" of the aforementioned element.

Little do I know what's coming.

"Hey! Hey! You! Hello! Can I talk with you?"A voice asks

I can sense someone eagerly hopping up and down in front of me, hearing them excitedly clap their hands.

I tilt my head to ask what about. Or why even start talking to me off to the side of the street?

"About what? Only one of the best local fighters that I've seen in the Earth Rumble! The Stringster! Come on, you had to of seen him!"He says, going on to ramble about how great The Stringster is.

"Uuummm, I'm blind. Can't see any show."I say

"Oh! My apologies! I didn't realize!"He says

"Who are you?"I ask

"Uuuh...H."He says

We talk a bit and he seems quite friendly.

"Look! A firebender! Get him!"A voice shouts

"Shoot!"H shouts, grabbing me and pulling me away.

"What the hell is going on?!"I snap

"I don't know! I wander around and stones rise but fire comes out of my hands and people get alarmed! They're calling me evil and I don't get it! I didn't even do anything!"He says

"Why are you dragging me?"I ask, feeling the terrain change under my feet.

We definitely left Toph's hometown by now.

"I don't want to be alone and you're very nice!"He says

Awww man....

"Now where do you plan to go?"I ask

"I hear of a safe place like Ba Sing Se and I think that'd be safe enough to go to next!"He says

I shrug, nodding and walking beside him....as he starts to rant about the Stringster again. I roll my eyes, just listening to it as we march through the sandy land where we now find ourselves.

At one point he shifts from ranting about The Stringster to talking about his loved ones. He never gives any names but the descriptions sound very familiar. He has two loving fathers, one that is very good with crafting and methodical while the other is a strong leader but also a moron. He has two brothers who are pure chaos and have their own boyfriends to keep them in line. He has an uncle that radiates positivity and another that is sweet until you mess with the family, then he will wreck your shit. That and they house a lot of pets and friends around frequently.

Sounds like an accurate description of our family. Paps is certainly the kind that is sweet but will fuck shit up.

Then there's a really obvious one after he rants on about the funniest stories that sound waaaaay too much like our family fun and nonsense to be coincidences. He mentions this really sweet farmer that he has fallen for and "want and plan to marry on a farm where we will raise a bunch of chickens together like the one I named Chickie." I mean COME ON! That has Horror written all over it! 

"So? What do you plan to do when we get to our destination?"He asks

I feel my face burn, considering what I'd do if I got to see my family again. Who knows how much time has passed back home? Well, aside from the voices watching this unfold. I glance away, frowning as my soul skips a beat. The thoughts that come to mind...memories of them all...When there are slim chances of getting home...? Not what I was looking for today.
