A rumble stirred you from your sleep. You sat up in your sleeping bag, just as four rhino creatures, with firenation riders atop them, emerged from the woods and began circling your group.
"Give up! You're completely surrounded!" The leader yelled. A couple archers shot fire-tipped arrows at Sokka sleeping bag just as he crawled out.
"Come on, come on, come on!!" He shouted, running for Appa.
"My scrolls!" Katara complained.
"My staff!" Aang added. They both ran off, collecting their items.
"Guys, come on!" You shouted, now fully awake. They ran back, jumping into the saddle. "Yip, yip!" You told Appa. He flew into the air, but one of the men shot fire, forcing Aang, Katara and Sokka to duck.
"Wait! My boomerang!" Sokka shouted.
"There's no time!" Katara informed.
"Oh, I see. So there's time to get your scroll, and time to get his staff, but no time to get my boomerang!?" He complained.
"That's correct!" She replied. You flew Appa higher, into the clouds, so that you were out of sight. You flew for a little while, making sure that the attackers were gone, before coming back down and spotting a town. You landed Appa, sliding off and walking to the market.
"Sorry about your boomerang, Sokka." You heard Aang tell Sokka. Sokka was currently sitting on the ground, hugging his knees to his chest.
"I feel like I've lost part of my identity." Sokka confessed. He stood. "Imagine if you lost your arrow." He told Aang, lifting the hat off his head. "Or if Katara lost her....hair loopies." He gestured. "Or if Y/n lost her bracelet." Your hand instinctively went to your wrist as Katara hugged her brother, trying to comfort him.
"Here's your produce, ponytail guy." The man at the market said before disappearing inside his shop. Sokka took the basket and frowned.
"I used to be 'boomerang guy'." He muttered, walking away. Katara paid a man, while you watched Sokka leave.
"Hey! Watertribe money!" The man exclaimed.
"I hope that's okay." Katara told him.
"So long as it's money! Have a nice Avatar day."
"Avatar day?" Aang asked, excitement written on his features.
"You guys are going to the festival, right?" The man asked, turning around to face you. You all exchanged looks, before following the man further into town.
"There's a holiday for the Avatar." Aang noted. "Who knew?"
"Look! They made a giant Kyoshi float!" Katara informed, pointing behind you. You all ran closer.
"And here comes Avatar Roku." Sokka noted, pointing as well. He seemed to be in better spirits.
"Having a huge festival in your honor is great, but frankly, it's just nice to be appreciated." Aang confessed.
"And it's nice to appreciate their deep-fried festival food." Sokka informed, taking a bite of something. You smirked at him, until Katara said something that drew your attention.
"Aang, look!" She said.
"That's the biggest me I've ever seen." Aang admitted.
"Makes sense." You muttered. A man suddenly ran towards the statues, carrying a torch.
"Now a torch! That's a nice prop!" Sokka noted. "It's bright, dangerous, and smells manly."
You raised an unconvinced eyebrow at him.
