I stand frozen in place. This is really strange. What do I do now? Run? I sprint towards the door, open it, and flee. I glance back and see my mother chasing after me with the knife. "Hey, sweetheart! Wait, why are you running away? I'm not going to hurt you." I ignore her, shake my head quickly, and run even faster. Please, mom, what's happening to you? I hope this ends well...I find myself walking through a large, unfamiliar forest. I thought I knew this city like the back of my hand, but I've never been here before. In fact, I didn't even know there was such a large forest here. "There she is!" I suddenly hear a few men's voices in the distance. I pause and look in the direction of the sound. Oh no, those guys again. I roll my eyes and quickly run away, but soon I'm surrounded by other men. They form a circle around me. I gulp. "What... do you want?" They chuckle. "We want you, little Avatar." "Yeah, because this is the perfect moment. So, a great opportunity to destroy you." I look surprised. "Wait, what are you talking about?" "You'll see..." The men approach me. I remain wary. One of the men moves his arms, causing the ground beneath my feet to shake violently. I fall to the ground as a result. I cautiously get back up. They won't break me, no matter what they try to do... "Leave her alone, idiots! Can't you see you've got the wrong person? I'm actually the avatar!" I look up in shock and see a girl about my age standing determinedly. One of the men starts to grin and walks towards her. "Well, well, we've found her..." I growl softly and clench my fists. They can't go after her. She doesn't deserve this! The girl remains confident. "Come on then!" "NO! STOP THIS NONSENSE, PLEASE!" I burst out. Once again, I feel a certain surge through my body, eventually bursting outwards. The men are blown away, and a lot of smoke fills the air. As the smoke clears, I collapse to the ground. The girl runs over to me. "Hey, are you okay?" I try to get back up, but suddenly I feel weakened. "Stay calm, I'll get you out of here quickly," the girl says again. I close my eyes. Hmm, why does she feel so... Familiar?~
