Tricking Reality

Part 14

who ever can guess who these beautiful people are? WILL have a new follower!! 

All their necklaces began to glow. A fairy, diamond, and a key. The 1st one glowed a bright red. The third flowed a vibrant salmon. And the second one glowed light blue. Few seconds after that, the world was engulfed by the three and soon they could all smell that iron from blood. Screeches and frightened expressions surrounded them.

Sakura groaned as she lifted her hand weakly to massage her forehead. She opened her eyes to see this new world they had stumbled upon in. "Scarlet..." she muttered, turning her head side to side to see that her friend was nowhere to be seen.

Swiftly, she sat up and quickly realized her clothes had , but she paid no mind to that. "Scarlet!?"

"Calm down.." a familiar voice spoke behind her. It was Scarlet and her outfit had changed as well.

Sakura's muscles relaxed before standing up with a huff. It tensed again when Cassiopeia was nowhere to be seen. But realization had soon caught up to her quickly. "So.. this is the Avatar world.. Where the four elemental nations live together in harmony..."

"-until the Fire Nation attacked, of course," Scarlet spoke.

Sakura nodded in agreement while she observed their surroundings. "Where exactly are we?" Sakura asked, hoping that Scarlet would know their location.

"We're somewhere in the Earth Kingdom... I think," she replied back as she cautiously began to walk out of the alleyway.

Sakura lightly jogged to catch up with her as they both walked out of the alleyway side by side together.

"Well, would you look at that... We're in Omashu," Sakura stated while both of them looked towards a giant wall that surrounded the entire city. It was the outer wall.

"Wait.. if war is still going on now and you're an airbender..." Sakura looked towards Scarlet who wore the traditional outfit of an air nomad.

"No!" Sakura grabbed her hand and led the both of them towards an alleyway with clothes being hung to dry on a line.

Sakura grabbed a random outfit for Scarlet to slip in so she wouldn't easily be identified as an airbender. "And don't expose your tattoos!"

"Alright! Alright!" Scarlet huffed as she placed the new outfit on and placed her nomad outfit into a bag that was also being hung on the line.

After Sakura had approved her outfit, they exited the alleyway and began to walk the outer wall streets of Ba Sing Se. They had passed a guy with a cart full of cabbages, but before they could even take another step- There was a sudden crash behind them. Sakura had quickly gotten into a battle stance and shielded Scarlet as they both faced the source of the noise. It was a boy wearing fake hair and bear, along with a girl and a boy that wore water tribal clothing. "My cabbages! You're gonna to pay for this!" the cabbage man exclaimed as the nearby Omashu soldiers had surrounded them.

The boy, whose "hair" was falling apart sat up and nervously smiled towards the soldiers. "Two cabbages please.." he nervously grinned.

Sakura crossed her arms in annoyance, "Tch, he has the nerve to smile after destroying that man's cabbage cart! Such disgrace!"

Scarlet lightly began to chuckle before one of the soldiers had swerved their head around and gave them a stare.

Scarlet stopped laughing immediately and froze while Sakura placed her hands on her hips and stared back; narrowing her eyes. The soldier huffed before they began to walk away with the three who had destroyed the cabbage cart. The youngest boy with the blue arrow tattoos looked behind him and stared at the crowd of bystanders. He had then made eye contact with the very angry cabbage man and flinched as he turned around to face forward. "Come on, Scarlet. We don't have any more time to spare, watching them."
