A World Out Of Balance

Myra shuddered. "I can't let you leave! Your only way out is to destroy me! Something many have tried!"

"Because you're the Avatar! Only a group of benders with one from each element can do that! All we've asked is that you help us bring back balance! I was prepared to die to do it but not like this!"

Myra's eyes flashed with pain but she said nothing.


(Note this is after the main Avatar series)

"You had a family! DOn't you want to avenge them? How did they die anyways?"

Myra flipped backward and landed next to Tsua. "That's none of your concern!" As she spun her hair flew back, exposing a black eye patch over her right eye.

Aklara glared at her. "And I thought you were against killing! You're hurling fireballs at me and I'm sure that you could kill me with something you have up your sleeve."

What's redirection?

Lightning redirection.

Amara's eyes burned. "I probably could! And You said you don't have families! You asked me if I wanted to avenge my family! You don't know what you said!"

"You didn't even see what the Fire Lord personally did to my family! If you knew, you'd know why I'm so angry and mistrusting!"

Amara's hand clenched into fists. "If you saw what the Firebenders and Airbenders did to my family you'd know why I'm fighting you right now!"

Aklara collected the fireball in her hand. "What did they do?"

Amara turned away. "Just leave my forest before I change my mind."

"Come on, Tanimi." Aklara said, summoning Heka and Jali. Tanimi summoned Gojo.

Tsua suddenly sniffed the air and growled. Amara's head whipped around. Her eyes flashed with rage and dismay.

Tanimi looked at Aklara. "Are you sure we should leave?"
"It's clear she doesn't want to help," Aklara said, brimming with anger. "Might as well leave now before she decides to use her powers on us."

Myra turned away from Tsua and walked over to the edge of the stream, sitting down on the bank. Rumbling softly Tsua followed her and curled up next to Amara. Resting her head down with her muzzle touching Amara's hand. Amara half smiled, gently she stroked Tsua's fur.

Tanimi sighed. "If only we could learn to trust each other."

Myra laughed bitterly. "You would trust me?"

"I thought you said we were leaving. I didn't know you were going to personally walk us out as if we were little children," Aklara spat.
Tanimi looked at Myra. "If we all saw each other's past and what we all went through. We have things in common."

"Oh I'm not moving!" Myra snarled. "I'm waiting for the Firebender patrol outside the forest to chance coming in here."

Tanimi shook her head. "That's not foing to happen unless someone scares them inside."

Myra shook her head. "Oh no. They'll be in here alright. You have something of theirs."

"What?" Aklara spat. "You?"

"No! That!" Myra pointed at something hanging out of Aklara's satchel. "Don't you recognize it!"

"What do you mean?"
