The Hourglass

Our Small Army-Chp. 8

AJ ignored all of us for the rest of the night, I didn't blame him, if the GMP killed Blue I would probably be worse. Liza was quiet for most of the time, she also looked a little pale. I gave everyone apples and oranges for dinner. I made a hole for lions body and after saying my good-byes, I put him in. And that was that. Liza and AJ went to bed early that night, and I followed soon after. The only person that was able to function somewhat somewhat normally was Blue. She also took the death hard though. The next morning AJ started to talk, "Alright guys, we need to stop mopping around and do something. I say we get vengeance. But first we need a small army, I say we go find other elementals and train them. I say we show them what the GMP really does. You guys with me?" "Ya!" Liza screamed. And with that we took off toward the nearest city. We visited about 5 cities, getting about 5 elementals per city. We then headed for our last city, my home. I was nervous, "Katie calm down, we're not going to have you do this, you'll wait with the others. Ok?" AJ smiled at me and I returned the favor. It had been about a week an we had grown closer. Behind us about 25 people flew and talked and laughed. They were all elementals. Although surprisingly there were no earth users. The oldest of our group was about 34 and youngest was 5. We had the most water users, then fire users, and we had the least air users. Liza was playing with a 7 year old fire bender we had found in our 3rd city. I smiled, anyone under the age of 14 was not going to fight unless we were all dead. "We're landing in that clearing over there," AJ said pointing to a clearing that was about a mile from the city. I nodded and flew towards it. Once the army landed, we started making plans. And by nightfall we set out to get five more members.
I woke up the next morning when AJ woke me up, "Katie, we're ready to go." He smiled and I smile back. I then stood up and helped the five new members get they're wings. Three new water benders, one fire, and one air. All but one of them was in they're twenties. The one who wasn't was a girl named Nixella, she was about 13 with straight blond hair and a tall skinny body. I took a liking to her immediately and took her under my wing, she was an air bender after all. Liza had taken that 7 year old boy under her wing even though he was a fire user. Nix (Nixella) had tiger-lily wings, and man did they look good on her. We then left and went to the middle of the forest to train.
