Secrets Until Known... (Avatar Aang Love Story) Book 1/3

Not much of a secret anymore?

Sophia POV

Recap: "Whoa! But Onji, can I tell you the biggest secret ever?" I asked. I hope I can trust Onji. She seems nice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Of course you can" She giggled. Breathe.....deep breaths.

"There is something I need to tell you? I don't know how you will take this but anyway please do not think any different of me" I pleaded

"Ok" She said quickly

"And don't tell anyone or anything...Promise?" I asked hopeful

"Promise" She said. I started to move my hair back and roll up my sleeves to show my arrows. She gasped when she saw them. "Y-you're an airbender" She squeaked

"Yes! but that is not it. Now please..I beg you don't tell anyone" I asked. Mention the Phoenix. Com'on you can do it.

"Ok, I won't tell anybody" Onji promised

"So tell me what you know about the 'Phoenix'?" I asked. Onji had a puzzled look on her face but proceeded to tell me about the phoenix....as in the bird.

"It is the bird of fir-" I cut her off

"Not the bird...the person. You know the fire bending prodigy." I said annoyed

"Oh right, well the Phoenix is the fire bending prodigy. They have not been seen in 5 years. Oh and no one knows where they were born or who taught them but people think it was Fire Sages" She said. Whoa society is so wrong...Fire Sages? Wait did she just say that I haven't been seen for 5 years....which means that I have been in the Legend state for 5 years. What?

"Wow! Society is wrong...firstly though about the Phoenix..er...I am the Phoenix" I said hopefully she will believe me.

"Hmm...prove it? Because to me you do not look old enough" I nodded and started bending. Firstly doing doing basic tricks, then I started shooting different colours of bending; Purple, blue and black. And finally doing my signiture move....the fire breathing dragon. I heard her gasp. "So you're the Phoenix.....wait then how come you have air bending tattoos?" She confusingly asked

"Oh that's because I am the Legend...the guardian of the Avatar. He was suppose to be born into the Air Nomads. And before you ask how I survived 5 years. It was because I was told that I was the Legend when I was 7 and I am now 14. I had to train to be the Legend so I was sent to the Northern Air Temple to learn Airbending, after I had mastered airbending I went to complete my earth bending training but was knocked off my flying Bison in a storm and ended up in an ice berg that my Legend state had triggered, when I woke up, my ice berg had melted and I was at the shore of the earth kingdom. Monk Pymea taught me air bending at the temple but she was very old when I learnt it so I think she's died" I said. Once I had finished my emotional speech, my eyes wandered off the Onji and widened when I saw she was crying. "Ugh..why are you crying?" I asked

"Because it was so emotional. You know you've sort of betrayed the Fire Nation" She said

"Technically I have yes, but they have betrayed the fire nation themselves by slaughtering almost all the dragons, the true fire benders, our strength, and killing the Air Nomads. You a bender?" I said

"What do you mean by almost? And no I am not but I am a master in throwing knives and stuff; arrows, swords, daggers." she said confitdently

"Well I said almost because I know for a fact that there are 3 dragons still alive and 1 of them is very close to you" I teased when I saw the look of shock on her face, I burst out laughing. "It's okay to come out, Mizuki" I said, my voice echoing around the room. I soon saw a small dragon crawl out from my bag and fly over to me.
