Book 10.5: Aang Meets the Fourth Wall

[savedtheworld]

[Aang was not a happy nomad.

Actually he was feeling relatively in good spirits. His depression was curbed for the time being after drinking some unique mix of special calming teas which may or may not have somehow been spiked with just a hint of cactus juice.

It was when he was trying to meditate outside the back of House 56 when his frustrations began. There was just so much... noise. Noise, noise, noise. Like there was a party near his house. Where did all these people come from?

Eventually, Aang had enough. He rushed around to the front of the house and perched himself on the Sokka head statue to address the crowd.]

Hey! What's with all the noise?!

[The fourteen-year old monk clears his throat.]

Sorry. I mean.. Can you keep it down a little?

Not just any firebender. I'm the Fire Prince. And one of the best firebenders around. Maybe not as good as my father, but I'm getting there.

[savedtheworld]

What... really?!

[It's a shock. And it confuses him. Rationally, he wants to think this is some offspring or descendent of Zuko. Seems friendly enough to fit the bill.]

[flameosozin]

Yeah. My buddy Roku is here. He probably told you all about me.

[That's right. Sozin is BFFs with the Avatar. He's pretty much the coolest guy in Luceti right now.]

[savedtheworld]

Friends with Roku? [Fire Prince. It's all coming together in the worst possible way.]

You- you can't be...

[flameosozin]

Prince Sozin, that's right.

[Wow, this airbender kid is in awe. He's probably never met royalty before.]

[savedtheworld]

No...

[How could he have forgotten that face. From Roku's memories. There he was, standing in front of him.]

[savedtheworld]

[Amon telling jokes was one thing, but this...]

Y-you... [He gets in a defensive position.] How dare you!

[flameosozin]

H-hey, what's wrong?

[This is not how you react to celebrities, bro.]

[savedtheworld]

You are! Stay away from me!

[He whips off a more violent burst of air to intentionally sail right past Sozin as a warning.]

It's all your fault!

[flameosozin]

[... okay, now this is starting to annoy him.]

You need to calm down, airbender. What's your problem with me?

[savedtheworld]

How dare you say that word! You.... You killed them!

[And he unleashes a more aggressive blast of wind at Sozin.]

[flameosozin]

[Okay, that knocks him over. Sozin gets to his feet quickly, now assuming a defensive position.]

You're crazy! I've never killed anyone!

[savedtheworld]

You did, all of them! [He spits back angrily before, just for a moment, thinking.] Or - or you will!
