Book 7: Sands of Time [Action/Video]

[Action]

[As Aang checked the journal that morning, to make sure things were fine around the village, the one thing that caught his eye wound up being the date. There it was, a "19". It stuck in his head because of when he had first opened the journal. There had been a 19 there, too. That meant one thing. Another month had passed since he had arrived here. Another month kept from home and the future he was both anticipating and dreading. If Aang felt like doing the math, he would realize it's been half a year now, since he was last home. Half a year of various trials and tribulations, friendships that were built up, damaged and mended, love that was questioned and unexpected sources of both comfort and hurt. He even came to known that the crisis he left back home would be resolved relatively peacefully... but he also learned more, much more than he wanted to know about his future. There was still joy to be found in the return of Ikki, even if it was accompanied by a dread for her wellbeing. He takes a moment to flip back to that first entry out of curiosity... and snaps it shut when he hears himself saying the word "Sweetie".

With just a moment more of reflection, he got out of bed, ready to continue doing his thing until he could bring his friends back home, to whatever futures truly awaited them.

And so Aang goes through his daily life. The fourteen year old monk starts off his day with training; firebending with Zuko while the grandkids are asleep. And once they're awake, it's time for airbending practice. With that over, he goes through daily errands. One can easily run into him while he's walking around the village and forest. Or he could be found at the Welcome Center where he... organizes... things and is ready to answer questions from New Feathers. And he will spend part of the day in the library seeking a new book to read. Such is the life of the Avatar. Or perhaps he could be caught while taking his sky bison out for a ride. As usual, he eats dinner at home and retires fairly early in the night. But sometime in the evening, he addresses the journals.]

Hi, everyone! It's me, Aang, again. I guess you can say I'm feeling better this month. Who would have thought Ikki'd be back so soon? And hey, is anyone else excited for autumn? That's the season for us airbenders! It's fun to watch all the leaves turn different colors, and then we can use the leaves for practice and for games! Not to mention that the air always feels just right this time of year. Does anyone else have any fun things that they like do around this time of year? And hey, let me know if you find any trees that have already changed colors!

...Oh yeah, and school should be starting sometime soon, I think! I'm real excited!

[ ...It's pretty clear from her expression she totally forgot about the original intent of the game, Aang. ]

Oh, right! ...Well, maybe for this we could think about talents people have without bending, too?

Maybe we can ask them what they'd like to do, too!
