chapter i

"I'll be glad to listen to you if you want to." she offered and they talked of what it seemed hours of conversation while the moon shone bright by the window.

"I was banned for committing treason against my own family and they chased me out of the town. I seek refuge here in the meantime before travelling somewhere far away but this is an island where the only means of going could find me out."

Natsuko was a bit in a tight situation, especially to know that she can't get away out of this island to continue her search.

Her final thought before sleeping once more was her company as of the moment, she placed the cloth keeping her warm on the other woman in the room before closing her eyes once more.

The moment she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by the last Avatar of the cycle before the missing half.

"What a pleasure to be talked to now, Natsuko." the old man greeted her and she gave him a hug.

She really liked Roku, still as funny and a troublemaker like he was growing up but can be serious at the right time.

Something she hasn't grown accustomed too.

"Have you seen him?" she shook her head but pressed a more present matter, "She grew up to be pretty, just like her parents."

There was only one person who he knew she was referring to, "Just like her mother. How is she doing?"

"Not good." the setting changed while they were spontaneously walking and found a table with tea on it, "They banished her for treason."

"It was bound to happen, Sozin was too rash with his ruling." the two kneeled and drank tea, "Natsuko, you do realize she is old enough to take care of herself."

"But-"

"Finding the Avatar is what you were destined to do, do not blind your eyes with the thickness of the blood."
