when I saw a fire bender aim for Zuko.

I ran in front of him. Everyone was confused to what I was doing except from Aang who new exactly what was happening. The man shot a ray of lightening at Zuko and I but it was easy to redirect it. I concentrated and absorbed most of the chi as to lessen it's impact as I used energy bending to find a good point on the offender boys and then I redirected the lightening at him luckily I was able to get him temporarily chi blocked.

I heard a sudden round of applause from the unwanted audience as I felt my face go red. I looked over to Zuko who just had a smirk plastered on his face.

The man found himself strewn across the floor when four of the guards had quickly apprehend him, I had let go of a breath that I didn't know that I had been holding in. Everyone's eyes were on me in admiration. I felt the blood quickly travel to my face I had no doubt that I was blushing. I hastily returned to my place next to Katara and Sokka.

"That's. was. awesome." Katara said with a hushed squeal I gave her a smile and Sokka just stood there and said." Remind me not to annoy you in the future." He whispered.

I looked up to check if Zuko was okay and I saw that his gaze was trained on me. "Thank you." He mouthed before he started to pay attention to the meeting on hand.

"That was so cool."

"That was awesome."

"You are such a badass miss."

"May I have your name."

A harem of soldiers had quickly started to surround me after the meeting was adjourned and reflexively had my hands up in surrender as they all grouped around me and slowly backed away. I felt myself bump into someone right behind me and when I looked up and felt a wave of relief wash over me. It was Zuko.

The fire nation soldiers had started to apologise profusely to their lord before whimpering away." Thank you." I said before sharply exhaling.

"I should be thanking you," He said looking down at me," without you i might not be here."

I was so use to Wan getting most of the attention all this praise felt a bit overwhelming to say the least.

"No problem i just did what anyone would have."

"Not anyone would have done what you did though"

I involuntarily started to scratch the back of the neck.

"Would like to talk about your current situation." Zuko had admitted whilst cautiously looking around him to check if anyone was listening. I'd nodded when he brought me to the lounge room where Aang was waiting with a clenched jaw. I sat on a small chair as they both looked at me with seriousness staining both of their faces.

Aang had started to speak first,"From the information you've told us you are another person who could bend all for of the elements." He stated, he looked for Zuko for permission for his next question and he saw him nod so he had decided to preceded." Admittedly, even after 10,000 years the world is still not in piece. From my recent, brief encounter with the first avatar Wan, he had told me was that your mission was to procure all four of the elements together and you were fighting Vattu a spirit of war and destruction even in his absence chaos still persist and because of this, I have to admit the duties of the avatar is never ending."

I looked at my fingers that were intertwined together the mere mention of Wan's name sent a jolt of sorrow down my back but I also had questions first that I had deemed to ask was." why was the spiritual energy in this world was so weak?" The only spirit that I could constantly feel I'm my proximity was Garriff who had bonded with me.
