I was so confused

"You know, we shouldn't take it for granite how far we've traveled," you tell your friends. "It's been a rocky road."

Lantana and Sansha laugh, while Mauya groans and rolls her eyes.

"Thanks, Sei," Sansha says. "You-"

She cuts off, stopping dead in her tracks. Her hands fall limply to her sides as the rest of her body stiffens. At her side, Lantana clenches her hands into fists, trembling.

When Mauya and yourself come around, you see what has them so worked up.

Sansha's village has been burnt to the ground. Black rubble is all that remains of the buildings that once stood. There's no signs of any people, at least not at first, but as you draw closer, you find the charred remains of either the village's former occupants, or soldiers that died in the attack.

In any case, it's a horrifying sight to behold. Mauya looks ready to vomit, Lantana looks ready to rip someone's throat out, and Sansha hasn't moved a muscle. She just stares ahead, pale as a ghost, stiff as a board.

>A. Ask Mauya to get her some water

>B. Go shake her

"Mauya, get her some water," you urge your friend.

As the Waterbender retrieves a canteen, Lantana comes to stand beside you, her eyes scanning the ruins.

"Those monsters," she growls with total loathing. "They'll pay for this. When I find Kalana, I'm going to make her suffer."

You're somewhat taken aback. You can't exactly blame Lantana for feeling that way, but it's a strange attitude coming from her. And, you suppose the more frightening part is that when one of the most powerful individuals in the world is threatening to painfully kill someone, she will probably succeed in it.

Hearing shuffling behind you, you turn around to see Sansha hunched over her backpack, digging through it until she retrieves her old sword. Rising, she throws one of the Hunter Blades to you.

Without a word, she steps forward and begins to search the rubble. Her expression is stony, and you can't tell exactly what's going through her mind. You imagine it's a mix of fury and grief, but you aren't sure which emotion is dominant at the moment, or where those feelings are leading her thoughts.

>A. Go look through the rubble

>B. Suggest moving ahead

>C. Let Sansha and the others do what they want; act as a lookout just in case

"Lantana, you need to calm down a bit," you tell your friend.

"Calm down?" she asks, looking at you with disbelief. "Look at this! Everything's gone! They burned it all, even the people! Women, children, the elderly, they didn't spare any of them!"

Looking ahead once again, you see that some of the corpses are indeed tiny, clearly having belonged to children. The homes, shops, and walls that once stood have been reduced to smoldering rubble, and the dead have been left to rot or be consumed by scavengers. It's a disgusting sight.

"Jungo was terrible," Lantana goes on. "But I never saw anything quite like this from him. He took prisoners, he left at least part of the towns he attacked standing. This is just....."

Clenching her fists with rage, she moves forward into the ruins, and you do the same, taking a look around for anything, anything at all that might have survived. Mauya stays back, looking like she could be sick at any moment, and the animals keep their distance as well, likely not appreciating the smell.

Sifting through the wreckage, you can't find a damn thing of importance left. Everything was probably looted or burned away. Realizing that there's nothing to find, you stand up, spotting Sansha kneeling in front of a particular ruin nearby.

Her head is bowed, her hands together in front of her chest. You think she's praying, perhaps to her mother or the people of her village, perhaps to some other spirit.

>A. Go to her

>B. Go with Mauya and the animals

>C. Go with Lantana

>D. Something else

>>904447
>A.
Damn

>>904447
>A. Go to her

>>904460
>>904487
You approach Sansha, standing behind her as she continues her prayer. Your heart grows heavier as you see teardrops fall to the ground beneath her. But, when she rises and turns toward you, her expression is not merely one of sorrow. Instead, you see resolve and determination in her face, and you know that she wants to fight now more than ever.

She says nothing to you, at least, not at first. But, an unspoken gratitude is communicated through her eyes, and you know she appreciates your support.

"I think we should go," Mauya calls from the edge of the village, and Sansha shakes her head.

"The dead deserve to be buried," the young warrior tells the Waterbender. "Sei, Lantana, will you help me?"

>A. Yes

>B. No, leave them here

>C. Use your Earthbending to create graves

>D. Something else

>>904524
>A.
>C.

>>904524
>A. Yes
>D. Something else
Do it the right way

>>904524

>>904539
>Do it the right way
What? How is using our bending bad in this instance?
>>904524
C

>>904539
>>904547
Do you mean dig graves with your hands?

>>904537
>>904540
>>904551
"Yes," you tell her.

Putting your Earthbending to good use, Lantana and yourself create graves for the fallen. Sansha gathers up what bodies she can find, and places them gingerly into the ground, bowing her head in silent respect after each one is buried. It's a somber event, and you're confident that you will never forget it for as long as you live. It's something you would never have wished to do, of course, but you feel that you're doing the right thing, and you know that Sansha appreciates what you and Lantana are doing to honor her friends and family.

When all is said and done, Sansha kneels in the middle of the village, praying once again before rising and declaring that it's time to go and let the dead rest in peace.

"Finally," Mauya sighs with relief.

Sansha shoots her an irritated look, and Mauya apologizes. You know that the Waterbender meant no disrespect, and is simply glad to be away from all of the death and destruction, but she chose what she said poorly.

Your group begins making its way toward the river, the sunset fast approaching. Still, nobody shows any signs of slowing down. Nobody says much, either. What do you say after something like that, anyway?

Mauya still looks a bit queasy, but she keeps up without being dramatic about it. Sansha looks ready to march all the way to the Si Wong Desert and track down Kalana, and you suspect that Lantana would be right with her on that.

>A. Suggest that you stop and set up camp before it gets dark

>B. Suggest heading East to fight the army

>C. Suggest heading South toward the desert

>D. Don't say anything; just keep walking

>E. Something else

>>904567
If there're no shovels than I think earthbending is okay, so long as we make the graves and bury the dead one by one.

>>904628
>>A. Suggest that you stop and set up camp before it gets dark

>>904628
How far is the river? If we can make it there before sundown we should set up camp by it.

>>904652
If you push on, you can probably reach it just after sunset

>>904628

>>904693
>>904650
"Maybe we should stop before it gets dark," you suggest to your friends.

Gava growls in agreement, dropping to the ground right where he is and attempting to fall asleep. Pengsong, seemingly agreeing with this idea, drops beside the Sky Bison, letting out a cry in Lantana's direction.

The Avatar stops, her expression softening as she turns and smiles toward the Elephant Mandrill. She approaches the great creature, petting it and talking softly to it until it begins to fall asleep.

Once that's done, she sets to work building tents, and camp is ready quite soon. After today's events, nobody seems like they'd care to go hunting or fishing, so your group sticks to rations.

When all is said and done, Mauya says goodnight to everyone, and heads for her tent, while Lantana sits by the fire, and Sansha sits at the edge of camp.

>>904760
>>904766
>>904752
Sansha could probably use somebody to talk to right about now. Letting Mauya go to sleep and leaving Lantana alone with her thoughts, you make your way over to your friend, taking a seat beside her.

She looks your way briefly before gazing ahead into the plains once again.

"Hey, Sei," she greets in as pleasant a tone as she can muster. "What's going on?"

>A. Ask if she's alright

>B. Ask if she wants to spar

>C. Tell her you wanted to check on her

>>904865
>>904884
"I wanted to check on you," you tell your friend. "I'm here for you, if you need me."

Sansha smiles warmly, looking like there's something she wants to say to you, but she opts for something else.

"I'll be alright," she assures you. "I think, in some sort of odd way, seeing it for myself helped me. Less wondering about what happened and what it's like there, now, you know? I have closure on that, now. I went back and payed my respects. Now, I can do what I need to do."

>A. And what does she need to do?

>B. She's taking this better than you'd expected

>C. Tell her it's okay to cry about it

>D. Promise to help her avenge her village

>>904940
>And what does she need to do?

>>904964
>>904963
"And what do you need to do?" you ask her.

She looks at you like it should be obvious, and when she gives you the answer, you suppose that she's right.

"I need to avenge them, and then, if I can, rebuild what was destroyed," she tells you. "If nothing else, I'll do what I can to carry on their memory."

She sighs, standing up. "There's not much more I can do. It's not like I can bring them back, no matter how hard I cry, or how many of Kalana's people I kill."

>A. Ask how many she plans to kill

>B. Tell her you'll help any way you can

>C. Ask what the point of rebuilding is with nobody to live in it

>D. Go talk to Lantana

>E. Go to the animals

>F. Go to sleep

>G. Something else

Imply that she'll need some way to produce more people to live in the village somehow.
For that she'll need at least 1 male and 1 female human.

"And, how many do you plan on killing?" you ask her.

"Well, I'd like to say all of them, but that's just nuts," she answers. "Besides, Kalana gave the order, so she's the one that needs to pay for it. Once Kalana has been dealt with, I'll be satisfied."

Standing up beside her, you turn to your friend, and give her a hug.

As usual, she stiffens up, but at the end she does wrap her arms around you and give you an awkward hug back, so you feel that you're making progress. When you let go of each other, you offer her one more question of concern.

"Are you sure you're okay?" you ask her.

She chuckles somewhat bitterly. "Sei, I'm doing the best I can be with all that's happened. Anyway, how are you doing?"

>A. Ask what she means

>B. Fine

>C. About as good as you can be

>D. Great

>E. Honestly, not so good

>F. Something else

>>905116
>>A.

>>905116
>C

>>905119
>>905121
"What do you mean?" you ask her.

Sansha looks down. "You've spent so much time looking after the rest of us; trying to comfort everyone and help however you can. We haven't done much for you. You lost a friend just like we did, and you know what it's like to lose your home. So, are you okay?"

"I'm about as good as I can be," you answer.

Sansha smiles sadly. "Well, hopefully things will get better soon. And if we keep working hard, hopefully we can make things right."

>A. You will

>B. Thank her for her concern

>C. Ask what she plans to do when this is all over

>D. Go talk to Lantana

"Thanks for your concern," you tell Sansha.

She gives another smile. "I'm your friend. I'll watch out for you just like you watch out for me. That's the way it works."

Smiling back at her, you change the subject a bit, deciding to be a bit more optimistic about things.

"So, when this is all over," you begin. "What are you going to do?"

A thoughtful look comes to your friend's face. "Well, like I said, I want to rebuild my village."

"Yeah, but after that," you specify.

"Hmm..." she shrugs. "Well, after all of that, maybe I'll find a husband, settle down, and have a family. I'll teach my children just like my mom taught me, and hopefully things can be a little easier for them when they grow up."

>A. That does sound nice

>B. Really? She'd be happy with such a simple life?

>>905186
>>905191
"Really?" you ask. "You'd be happy with such a simple life?"

"Well, it wouldn't be that simple," Sansha tells you, glancing your way. "I'd try to take a leadership role in the village like my mom did, and she always told me that raising kids is a hard battle itself. And, I'd also have to train and protect the people in the village. I'd be settled in one place and living with my family, and maybe it would be "simple". But it wouldn't be boring."

She looks over at you. "What about you?"

>A. Go back to your village and settle down

>B. Become a Lord or King

>C. Find a new adventure

>D. You don't know

>E. Something else

>>905207

>>905213
>>905225
>>905227
"I guess I'll go find a new adventure," you answer after a moment of thought. "Maybe I could become a Lord, or a King."

Sansha chuckles. "Aiming high."

"Or, maybe I could take my jokes on tour around the world," you suggest. "All the jokers these days are boring, I really want to quake things up."

Sansha laughs. "I don't know, Sei, that plan sounds a bit shaky to me."

Chuckling and giving a shrug, you mention that you might want to do some writing afterwards.

Sansha looks over at you, actually looking surprised rather than amused. "You write?"

>A. Yep

>B. Lie (No, but you'd like to learn)

>C. Something else

>>905239
>A.

"Can I see?" Sansha asks.

Lantana retires for the evening, but you find yourself sitting by the fire, silently waiting as Sansha flips through what you've written. Like Mauya, she seems quite interested, but she reads it somewhat less carefully, seeming mostly to skim until she finds parts she wants to study in greater detail.

Gava and Pengsong snore away at the edge of camp, and Sansha nears the end of her reading. When she finally finishes, she looks toward you with an expression of surprise. You can tell you've impressed her.

"I had know idea you did this sort of thing," she tells you.

>A. Honestly, you didn't know it until you reached the Northern Air Temple

>B. She likes it, then?

>>906814
>>906804
"Honestly, I didn't know it myself until we got to the Northern Air Temple," you tell her. "And, it's not finished."

"So that's what you were up to all that time," she guesses. "Why'd you lie to us when we asked you about it?"

>A. You wanted it to be a surprise

Thanking Sansha for the compliments, you decide to go to sleep for the evening. Making your way to your tent, you fall asleep almost at once, sleeping peacefully despite the events of the day.

When daylight comes, you rise to find Lantana the only one awake, and in the process of packing up her own things in preparation to depart. Pengsong and Gava continue to snore, but Lantana looks ready to go at a moment's notice.

Lantana clearly wants to get things started as soon as possible, so you decide to help speed the process up ever so slightly by packing up your belongings and getting rid of your Earth tent.

This takes about two minutes, and when you're done, you walk over to Lantana, who scans the plains with her eyes, making sure there's no soldiers or hungry animals making their way toward the camp.

When you come to her side, and she sees you, she gives you a small smile, and a "good morning".

"Sleep well?" she asks, a bit of tension in her voice.

>A. Yeah, you slept fine

>B. Ask how she slept

>C. Ask what's wrong

>D. Ask if she wants to spar until everyone wakes up

>E. Something else

"Yeah, I slept fine," you assure how. "How about you?"

She looks away, shrugging nonchalantly. "I slept fine."

Again, you can hear tension in her voice, and decide to ask her about it.

"What's wrong?" you inquire.

Her shoulders slump as she lets out a sigh. "It's nothing, just, everything that's going on. I'm fine, I promise."

"Well then, do you want to spar until the others wake up?" you suggest, changing the subject and offering a way for her to work off some of her stress.

"That sounds nice," she tells you, her voice sounding a bit happier. "It's been a while since we've gotten to do this."

The two of you move away from the camp, letting the others rest peacefully as you prepare yourselves to "fight" one another. You stand across from Lantana, who drops into a basic fighting stance.

"Ready," she tells you.

>A. Attack fast and hard by hurling a barrage of rocks at her

>B. Attempt to throw her off of her feet by moving the ground under her

>C. Attempt to throw her back on a pillar

>D. Attempt to drop her into a pit

>E. Try to encase her legs in stone

>F. Try avoiding her attacks and rushing her to attack without bending

>G. Do nothing for now. Wait to see what she does, and then counter

>H. Something else

>>907075
>H. Something else
Try and hit her with a wall from behind, then launch forward with a pillar of our own.

Opening with the basics seems like a sound strategy; you can move fast and overwhelm her.

Ripping chunks of rock from the ground in front of your feet, you launch them toward Lantana, sending more and more her way as quickly as you can. The girl easily sidesteps the first one, ducks beneath the second, and punches through the third as she rises back to her full height.

But, striking that last rock distracts her, and she doesn't react to the fourth in time, resulting in you knocking her to the ground with a large chunk of Earth.

She rolls back into a crouch, launching herself high into the air on a pillar of Earth and doing a flip before kicking toward you with both legs.

Your reflexes seem to be working quite well today, as you launch yourself back on a pillar of Earth fast enough to easily avoid Lantana's attack, which you presume to have been an air blast.

Landing in a crouch a short distance back, you see Lantana slowly descend, ripping up stone as soon as she lands and hurling them your way. You duck beneath the first, and jump over the second.

Rising back up, you see the Avatar pull up a massive stone, breaking it into pieces and launching those pieces at you as tiny projectiles.

Feeling perhaps a bit too confident, you thrust your hands out toward the approaching projectiles, stopping them dead in their tracks long before they even reach you.

Lantana's eyes go wide with surprise, and she begins trying to push them toward you, but you take advantage of her momentary distraction to send her own weapons flying back at her. Her bending allows her to stop a few of them, but the majority continue along their path, and the Avatar is soon pelted with rocks.

Giving up on stopping them, she instead shields her face and endures the many hits, waiting for the barrage to come to and end. Once it does, you see that her clothes are torn in many places, and she seems to have gained some cuts and bruises.

She breathes heavily for a few seconds before lowering her arms, looking toward you with surprise. You aren't sure what to expect, so you prepare yourself in case she decides to really kick your ass.

But, instead, she laughs. "That was awesome!"

Sei is Rocking Out Loud today! Also time to get back to patch up those cuts.

>>907335
>>907321
"Yeah, I'm pretty amazing," you tell her.

She smirks. "Okay, don't get too fully of yourself. I was taking it a bit easy on you."

Shrugging, you decide to take your victory whether she pulled punches or not, and suggest that the two of you return to camp to have Mauya fix her up.

"Good idea," she says, smiling and turning toward the camp.

As the two of you make your way back, you find yourself smiling as well, and not just because you won. Lantana seems to be her normal self again, and you're glad to see that. She hasn't been the most happy or pleasant person these past few weeks, so having her back to the way she used to be is nice.

By the time the two of you make it back to camp, you find that Sansha and Mauya have both woken up, and are in the process of putting away their possessions. They look up when the two of you get back, each looking a bit surprised at Lantana's condition.

"What happened to you?" Mauya asks, arching an eyebrow.

"Training?" Sansha guesses, grabbing a canteen and rising to her feet.

Lantana nods. "Yeah, Sei pulled a trick I wasn't ready for."

Mauya stands up, and Sansha throws her the canteen. "Well, let me do something about those cuts and bruises."

"Thank you," Lantana tells her, walking over to the young Waterbender while Sansha returns to packing her things.

Things will probably move along faster if you help with the packing, so as Mauya tends to Lantana's wounds, you make your way over to Sansha, aiding her in getting everything put away. By the time the two of you finish, Mauya is just finishing up with fixing Lantana.

"Time to go, then?" Sansha asks.

>A. Yes

>>907408

"Yes," you tell her, making your way over to Pengsong and climbing onto the Elephant Mandrill's back.

Pengsong doesn't seem to mind all that much, and when Lantana launches herself onto his back in front of you, he seems to be further calmed by her presence.

Mauya and Sansha climb on Gava's back, and the two beasts set off in the direction of the river.

As the animals make their way toward the river, you decide to do some singing, and today, your voice is at its best, allowing you to sing without angering the animals.

The girls, at least, seem entertained, and it seems your singing prompts Mauya to give one of her own songs a try.

Her voice is as beautiful as always, and her song is just as good as yours, as she sings a song about an explorer who adventured across the North Pole. When she's done singing, everyone seems to be in higher spirits than before, the great, happy singing or yourself and Mauya having done wonders for moods.

"The two of us should sing a duet sometime," you suggest to Mauya.

She looks over at you, and shrugs. "Alright, I guess."

As the beasts continue toward the river, you ask the other two girls if they feel like singing, but both decline.

"Looks like we'll be there soon," Lantana announces. "Pengsong and Gava should be able to swim us across without too much trouble."

"What about that thing that almost killed the two of us last time?" you ask Lantana.

"It swam off," she reminds you. "And if it comes back, we're both stronger than we were before, and we have Sansha and Mauya. We'll be alright."

"That would be something exciting to see," Sansha comments.

"Trust me, no it wouldn't," Mauya assures her.

The animals begin to approach the river.
