Snippet #1504634

Aiko was sitting on a rock just staring out at the send, her fingers kneading through the soil and rocks that were loosened up on the ground. She was tired, hungry and thirsty and she hadn't a faint clue where she was. All that she knew right now was that she has been kicked out of her city once they had learnt she was an avatar. It wasn't common logic really because only a select few actually knew the secret but they were still afraid that someone else would learn it, someone who has a loose tongue and empty pockets that would sell the secret to the fire nation. And that was what the others feared, an attack from the already vicious fire nation and more deaths then they already had.

So she had left with only a few urgings with only the backpack that she had on her back. She knew she was unnaturally good at earthbending and had always been just a bit better than all of the other kids growing up at up but she had never spontaneously started bending anything else. In fact she had tried a few times already with the other elements and felt nothing but exasperation when nothing happened. Aiko couldn't help but think that maybe the whole thing was false and she was out on her own for nothing. But she did know that maybe the situation wouldn't be so bad if she actually knew where she was.

She sighed softly and stood, cracked her back as she did so. She licked her lips and pulled some food out of her bag, noticing that it was becoming increasingly empty. She would have to go buy some more but her money was also starting to become depressingly low. She wasn't down to the desperation for stealing yet but she had a nagging sensation that it wouldn't be too far off. She started bending the earth under her foot, making her move faster than possible, trying to scout out the closest lake. If she went straight she would have to eventually find one, it was only common logic.

Until then all she would have to do was be left alone with her tortuously busy mind.
