Aang walked to the surface ground where the grass was. Katara followed hoping he wouldn’t notice and he didn’t. Aang walked over to a large rock and he sat there. His arms were in a weird position and his legs were crossed. He then closed his eyes in peace not saying a word. Katara walked up a little closer to see what his was doing. A step too close and he might notice her there. Katara walked as closed as 4 feet away from Aang. Aang opened his eyes saying ’’Katara I know you are there stop hiding.’’ With the biggest sigh ever Katara walked over to Aang being defeated. ‘’
“Why are you following me?’’ asked Aang
Katara sighed ’’because something is wrong with you and you wouldn’t tell’’
‘’ Fine I will tell you but you wouldn’t like It.’’ said Aang
For the next ten minutes Aang told Katara all what happened the night he meet the guru. Then telling her that he gave up the avatar state. Just to save her life. The sad part was that he couldn’t gain that power ever again. Katara felt so sad what Aang told her.
“Aang I bet there is a way to gain the avatar state again.”Whispered Katara
“Yea right, the guru said if I left I could never have power to control when I’m in the avatar state.”
Katara thought for a minute. Then blurted out ‘’Maybe you can find a way.”
She seemed so happy about it that it almost sounded fake. By now it is noon so the two of them went down to the temples to work on lunch. On the way down The Duke yelled at them from underneath. Saying he found something cool and strange. Katara and Aang just looked at each other with shocked faces painted over their own faces. Then they ran down to where The Duke was and what they found was so unexpected.
The Duke was jumping up and down to what he found. To the left of The Duke was a chamber. The chamber can only be opened by air. Katara was holding a torch in her hand looking at the door of the chamber. It was so cold were they were. They were right under the water fountain up above. Katara got closer to the door to see the markings on the door. It was like paintings of their people and some where glowing, flying, or sitting. Aang stepped back a little and air bended the door opened. The door swung open with a cool breeze of air. All three of them walked in Katara and The Duke were holding the torches. It was so dark in the chamber. There were even more paintings of their people. Aang walked over to one side of the wall to take a closer look. There was a painting of a women and a baby. The woman was now caring her child over to some monks. Her face looked so sad. Then he realized it the same monks from the southern air temple, where he was from but why are they in this painting? He called over The Duke and Katara to see the painting he was looking at. He asked if that looked similar in any way to them. The both of them nodded no. Aang touched the painting and then everything around him went dark. Then all of a sudden it became lighter. Like if he was above ground now in some kind of room. Aang walked into the room even more noticing that it was the same room from the painting. Aang walked over to the women holding that same child which was a boy from the painting. She was playing with him like nothing was ever going to happen to her life. Sense they were in the Western air temple baby boys were to be sent off to either the Northern Air Temple or the Southern Air Temple. So the women was using all her time she had left to spend it with her son. Aang got closer to her to touch her but he couldn’t. He was in the spirit world. So he sat on the bed were the baby was. Then he heard her talk. So Aang went silent to hear her.
“Aang dear you know I love you very much.”
The baby giggled and was moving like he had ants in his pants. The baby was so happy and cheerful. The Woman carefully picked up the child and walked out of the room. Entering into another room where there were 3 monks. With all her effort she had she gave her child up to the monks. Before they left she yelled ‘’please if you would. Call him Aang.’’ One monk nodded the monk was a friend of his it was his dear friend who died in the tent. Aang then felt all fuzzy like fading back to the real world.
Aang opened his eyes there were people staring at him. He got up and stared at the painting then gave a bow in a Chinese way. He turned around looking at his friends and smiling. There was so much more of the chamber to be exploder so they all walked on.
Katara ran up Aang and ask what he saw? Aang told that he saw his mother give him up to the monks. Katara was shocked that Aang had seen this and he was on a wall as a painting. But why? There were millions of other babies given up too but why him? Was it because he was the next avatar? We may never know. The Duke was in front of the little group still holding the torch. They went through tunnels of history of the women in the air nation. There were no men though because it was only a women temple. All the tunnels were the same. So were all the chambers that the tunnels led to. All history of their people. Aang wondered off into another chamber. This chamber was different from all the other ones. The paintings here were a little different. There were glowing people with tattooed arrows on their heads. Looked normal at first but then there Aang noticed that there were many herbs in the room. What where the herbs here for? This was way too weird so Aang left the room and caught up with the others.
He found his friends looking at some paintings. ‘’hey let’s leave you guys.”
“Why” ask Katara
“Because I think all this stuff is the same.” Answered Aang
“Well ok let’s go then” said Katara
The group all went up to the surface where the was real air and sunshine. But there wasn’t that much sunshine left though because it started to get dark. Katara went on over to the pot of water and started diner.
