AKASHA - Aang

The Southern Water Tribe

Air

I can finally breath again! But what happened to me? I start to feel something take control of me and make me stand up and almost tumble down until I feel someone catch me.

I open my eyes to be met with piercing blue eyes looking back at me. Their hair was in a sort of ponytail and they were wearing a water tribe coat.

"Well hi there." I say waving my hand in a greeting manner

"Um hi?" The boy says back to me but it sounded more like a question than a greeting.

I look to my side to see Aang being held up by a girl with the same blue eyes and water tribe coat. But her hair is in little loopy things.

I look back to the boy in the blue and ask, "What's your name?"

"Umm I don't think I should be telling a stranger that just came walking out of an iceberg that." He says looking to his sister I assume because of the easy resemblance.

I laugh at his smart but funny reasoning to not give me his name. I sit up on the ice, but a few moments later I feel a tug on my clothing. I look up and Aang is holding out his hands for me to grab so I can stand.

I wabble a little bit before I am able to stand up straight. "What's going on here?" Aang says pulling me closer by the waist just incase we are being found by not so nice people.

"You tell us!" The boy says, "How did you two get in the ice? And why aredn't ya'll frozen?" The boy pokes Aang in the side with the butt of his spear.

Aang pushes the spear to the side annoyed, "We aren't sure." He looks to me silently asking me if I new, but I just gave him a little shrug.

A low, gruff noise suddenly fills the air, coming from within the crater of the iceberg. Me and Aang look at each other and smile. We scramble up the ridge of the ice and happily jump on the head of Appa.

"Appa! Are you all right?" Aang says hanging down the side of the beast to look into his eyes which are still closed.

"Appa. Wake up, buddy." I say rubbing Appa's fur trying to wake him up. He suddenly opens his eyes and licks me and Aang while we laugh.

"Ha, ha! You're okay!" Aang and I hug the bison's nose.

"What is that thing?" The boy says with his eye's wide.

"This is Appa, my-" I elbow him in the side knowing that Aang needs to share Appa since I didn't get my flying bison.

"-our flying bison." Aang smiles and rubs his side while mumbling an 'ow' to me. I just smile and pat Appa on the nose.

"Right, and this is Katara, my flying sister." The boy gestures towards the girl which tells me that I was right and that her name is Katara. Aang dosen't know what to say because he knows only certain people (like me) can fly.

Our attentio is quickly diverted back towards the sky bison who is starting to inhale deeply. At this I start to walk back so I don't get bison snot on me. Aang ducks before Appa sneezes, sending a large blast of green snot flying directly onto the boy.

"Don't worry, it'll wash out" Aang says to the boy. "So do you guys live around here?"

"Don't answer that! Did you see that crazy bolt of light?! They were probably trying to signal the Fire Navy!"

"Oh yeah, I'm sure he's a spy for the Fire Navy. You can tell by that evil look in their eye's." Katara says pushing her brothers spear down.

"The paranoid one is my brother, Sokka. You guys never told us your name."
