Chapter 2: Meeting the gang
I went out into the wide world ready to conquer with the fire bending I possessed. It was then cut short when I remembered that I didn't know which year I lived, thankfully I saw a girl I knew all too well. She has light skin, large expressive gray eyes, and long brown hair tied into a high ponytail with bangs framing her face. She wears a pink midriff-baring tunic with matching loose-fitting pants and flat shoes, reflecting her agility and acrobatic skills. As I looked at her she looked back, I quickly averted my eyes. Yes, I thought she was beautiful but I won't be acting on any impulse.
I am a multiversal traveler and I will travel the multiverse, of course, I can't be just stuck here with her raising a family something like that would be an insult to the wishes and power I possess. Sure, I can come back anytime but it will also bring unnecessary troubles to me. It is better to keep it in my pants and avoid doing shit like Zeus did.
"Hey, Are you ok?" I hadn't realized when but she was right next to me when I looked at her and said
"Yes, I was distracted. I am assuming you are the one who found me"
She nodded, and I said, "Thank you," before turning and going to the village elder. I told her I planned to leave in a week and thanked her for the village's food and shelter. I promised myself that when everything was over, I would come back here, and even if they hated me, I would make sure they got at least one benefit from it.
{1 week time skip}
I stayed here for an entire week, I learned a lot about the ty lee and the village as a whole. I met with her crew too, although they were kind and none of them had the same level of enthusiasm as ty lee has. After hanging around her for a week, I stayed as honest as possible although I did not want to reveal anything from my past life. Heck, I don't know my past life so it was not possible for me to reveal anything. I did not want to manipulate her like Azula, so I was very kind to her. I eventually revealed that I was going to go on a journey of my own since I plan to be there when the avatar awakens.
I could feel the sun, and the stars communicate to me since they are being made of fire and are the symbol of it. I was able to deduce that the time for the avatar was coming closer and it was time for me to leave and meet the avatar. "Do you have to go?" Ty Lee asked, obviously sad about me leaving.
"Yes," I said and noticing the sadness I said with a little more sensitive voice "I will meet you again, and when that happens…Let's leave it at that. I must attend and you have you. It is not right for both of us to be tied to each other."
"What if I want to follow you?" Ty Lee said unwilling to let me go, I sighed before saying
"That is also a go, you have your life and freedom, and enjoy it while you can." I then walked away, unwilling to continue this conversation. I wanted to stay back but for the multiverse and sake of the future, I need to go. I packed my clothes into a small bag and left for the southern sea by a civilian boat which the villager gave me. Being a fire nation person in this time period is such a blessing, I continued the track reaching the cold sea.
I channel my inner fire and heat from the sun to keep me warm, as you can see a faint fire being released from my nostrils every time I take a breath. As I continued on this month-long voyage, I saw a sudden brilliant light burst from a part of the ocean. I knew Zuko would also see this, I needed to act fast as I quickly sailed towards Avatar Aang. The really fun is starting to happen, how could I not be a part of it?
{Meanwhile with katara and sokka}
They were standing in front of the light when a kid came out of the iceberg as we looked at him, he looked around confused as hell. " Where am I?" Aang said
"Who are you?" Sokka said, stepping in front of Katara and pointing his spear at Aang. Aang falls into Katara's hands as she lays him down and tries to help him. The mysterious boy drowsily opens his eyes to see Katara staring down at him, her own eyes a deep blue. He quickly recovers from his dazed condition, abruptly and cheerfully asking Katara if she wants to go penguin sledding with him, to which she confusedly agrees. The boy rises to his feet swiftly, the sudden movement taking a wary Sokka by surprise, prompting him to become defensive with his spear.
"Stop, who are you?" Sokka asked with apprehension on his face.
"I am Aang, an air nomad. Who are you? And what are you doing?" Aang asked, surprised by Sokka's aggressiveness.
"How are you trapped in the iceberg?" Sokka asked again, promptly ignoring the question asked.
"He was trapped there," I said as I appeared from the iceberg, sokka was immediately on guard looking at the Fire Nation t-shirt I had on. Katar stepped in front of Aang ready to defend him, I looked at them and raised my hands "Wait, I mean no harm. I am one of the firebenders who don't like imperial rule." This did ease their suspicion but not much to which I just sighed and said "Look, I can tell you everything you need to know. Let's get on the bison"
"You know of Appa too," Aang asked surprised, I smiled at that and said
"I know a lot of things, some good and some I wish I didn't" with a somber look on my face when the last part came along.
"Alright, let's go" Aang the kind one quickly said, to which Sokka and Katara were apprehensive. As he used air bending to get one, I used fire bending on my legs to fly and sit on the bison. This made Sokka on guard again, I just sighed at this as I could not care about it. So, I got comfortable with Sokka and Katara, visibly uncomfortable with my presence which I and Aang promptly ignored.
"So, Where do I begin? Let's start with that, it has been 100 years since you were trapped in the iceberg." I said which caused a shock to everyone including Appa, this caused major turbulence. I just grabbed onto Appa until Aang stabilized the flight.
"What do you mean 100 years? How can anyone look like that afterward." Sokka asked, to which I smiled and said
"If you wait, I will tell you. He is the avatar as you may have guessed" This caused Aang to twitch, but I continued "He was trapped here in the iceberg for 100 years, in that 100 years. The Fire Nation capitalized on the disappearance of the avatar to start a war with the other nation, the first on the list was the air nomads who were all whipped out under the Fire Nation. Although they were very powerful, under the Sozin comet which increased fire-bending powers, they were sadly wiped out."
This caused great turbulence as Aang could not believe his ears, I smiled at what was about to happen next. I quickly restrained Aang and said "Calm down Aang, listen to me completely" Of course this could not calm him down but when I grabbed him I started to use a certain fire that has a calm effect on the soul, a fire that belongs to the phoenix family thus it doesn't hurt but heal.
