the gaang!!
The sun was setting behind the cliffs of the Western Air Temple when Aang realized something was missing. He counted on his fingers again. “We have an Airbender, a Waterbender, an Earthbender, a Firebender, and Sokka.” Sokka gasped. “I knew it.” Katara rolled her eyes. “You are impossible.” “Thank you.” Toph Beifong leaned against a pillar. “What’s missing? Common sense?” “No,” Aang said. “Balance.” “Boring,” Toph replied. Before he could explain, footsteps echoed through the courtyard. Everyone turned. You entered through the stone arch carrying a small travel bag over one shoulder. You were slim and compact, built for speed more than size. Long hair hung in a braid down your back. One eye was green. The other was blue. You moved with calm precision, every step light and controlled. Sokka blinked twice. “Okay.” Katara elbowed him. “Behave.” “I was appreciating posture!” Toph tilted her head. “Light steps. Quiet breathing. Doesn’t drag feet. Definitely interesting.” Aang smiled immediately. “Hi! I’m Aang.” “I know,” you said. He brightened. “You know us?” “Everyone knows you.” Sokka spread his arms. “Finally, recognition.” “No one recognizes you,” Zuko said from the doorway. “They should.” You glanced at Zuko. “Prince Zuko.” He straightened. “Just Zuko.” Then you looked toward Toph. She smirked. “I’m the greatest Earthbender in the world.” “I know.” “I love this person,” she declared. Katara crossed her arms. “Who are you?” You gave your name. Aang repeated it with a grin like he had already decided you were a friend. “Are you traveling alone?” he asked. “Yes.” “Do you want to stay with us?” Katara stared. “Aang!” “What? They seem cool.” “We know nothing about them.” “We know they’re cool.” “That is not enough.” Sokka circled you slowly like an investigator with no training. “Travel bag, no visible weapons, alert eyes, balanced stance. Either harmless or dangerous.” “Probably dangerous,” you said. He grinned. “Excellent.” A
