Greetings old and new readers! I am happy to inform that being that it is now summer, I have decided to start this new story. I got this idea since I have been watching the old series more often since Legend of Korra began. I hope you all enjoy this chapter, and to clear up any confusion, this is before Aang is frozen so far. Please do me a favor and review and all suggestions are welcome.

Prologue

In the time of the Avatar, the Avatar was the most powerful being in existence amongst the mortals of the world. He is the spirit of the planet incarnated in human form. The Avatar is to keep the peace in the world.

Beside the Avatar being the spirit of the planet, there is also a spirit of it's inhabitants. This spirit keeps the peace between humans and animals alike, ensuring peace and tranquility while the avatar goes about his or her own business. This spirit is known as the Vala, the keeper of peace.

The Vala is often shown to follow the Avatar cycle, moving through elements with each new life. It is always known though that the Vala be born into the same current nation as the Avatar, being gifted with that current element and only that element.

The Vala often spends most of his or her life at the side of the Avatar, bringing aid to the Avatar whenever it is needed and helping the Avatar along his spiritual journey. The two are often introduced some time after being told of their abilities.

It is often shown that the Avatar and the Vala hold a strong spiritual bond with one another, one not being able to live long after another has passed, and one being able to sense the pain of another. If either should ever be in trouble, they will come to one another aid.

Southern Air Temple

A young boy of about the age of twelve zoomed up into the temple quickly on an air scooter, laughing on the way up. "Monk Gyatso! I'm here finally!" Aang called out as he quickly got off of the air scooter before his elders could see him.

"Ah Aang. I see you're in a hurry." Monk Gyatso said with a warm smile at the young airbenders mischievous smile back at him.

"Well I came as soon as I heard you were looking for me Monk Gyatso." Aang said as he let his elder lead him around the temple. "What is it you had to tell me Monk Gyatso?" Aang asked after a brief moment of silence.

"Aang you are aware that when we told you that you were the Avatar, that we also said you had many new experiences to witness." Gyatso started off as they came to a balcony that overlooked the training of young benders.

"Yeah." Aang said a bit uncertainty. Aang hadn't liked it when he was told he was the new Avatar, and he definitely didn't want to have to start his training this soon. He enjoyed his fun-filled life.

"The elders and I have someone for you to meet. You are aware that we told you of your partner spiritual being the Vala, correct?" Monk Gyatso said as he smiled at all the young benders practicing and finding time for fun as well.

"The Vala...I think so." Aang said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well...the other elders believe it is time you meet her." Monk Gyatso stated as he turned to the young Avatar.

"Wait...meet her? This soon? I thought I wasn't supposed to meet the Vala for a while after learning I was the Avatar." Aang said as Monk Gyatso put a hand on the young boy's shoulder to calm him.

"The elders and myself believe that you may need to meet the Vala sooner than at a later time Aang. She is being housed at the Eastern Air Temple though, so it will be a while until The Vala arrives." Monk Gyatso said as he began to move off the balcony.

"Wait...what's her name?" Aang asked as he hurried after the wise old master.

"That you will have to wait for my young Avatar." Monk Gyatso said with a mischievous smile at the young airbender before going off to attend to other matters.

Aang sighed before walking away, wanting to go see his sky bison. "Hey Appa." Aang greeted as he found the sky bison after a bit of searching.

The large sky bison billowed happily before licking the young avatar from head to toe, leaving him drenched in saliva.

"Hey Appa, apparently the monks are having me meet that...Vala." Aang stated, taking a moment to remember the name of the spirit who accompanied him in past lives.

Appa grunted before rising from where he had been laying at.

"I know. I don't want to start all this Avatar stuff either." Aang said as he sat down, putting his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands.

Aang was patient until the day when Monk Gyatso said that the Vala would be arriving. He was told to be respectful and to show the Vala around the temple. "Also, be sure not to get into any trouble too soon young bender." Monk Gyatso said with a knowing smile at Aang as the young Avatar chuckled.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Aang said as Monk Gyatso joined in the laughter.

Monk Gyatso was about to reply, but caught sight of the elder monks of the Eastern Air Temple. He bowed as they reached him and Aang. "It is good to see you again. Where is our young Vala?" Monk Gyatso asked as he noticed the absence of the girl.

"She will be on her way shortly. She wished to travel on her own." One of the elder monks explained as Aang looked around out of boredom, really wanting to go play some games with the other benders.

"Well we can hope she gets here soon." Monk Gyatso stated before feeling a whoosh of air before a young girl dropped from the sky quickly with her glider.

"Vala, have we not warned you to not abuse your powers?" The elder Eastern Temple monk reprimanded as the girl landed with grace and elegance.

"You have." The girl said with a smug smirk at him over her chosen action. "But isn't the meaning of airbending to be free?" The girl questioned as her smile widened, noticing the chuckle of Monk Gyatso.

The elder monk ignored the Vala's statement, turning to Monk Gyatso again. "Monk Gyatso, Avatar Aang, this is Vala Kama. She is...a bit rambunctious still." The elder Monk explained as Aang just stared at her, surprised.

The young Vala looked about the same age as Aang it seemed. Her black hair was short, reaching only to her shoulders, but she had a tie in it anyways. She, too, already had her tattoo's, showing that she had already mastered airbending. Her body was slender, but obviously built with the muscles that are needed to keep the elegant balance of airbending. Her eyes, though a gray color, were full of amusement. She seemed, surprisingly, like a normal girl. "...as you shall soon see." The elder spoke as Aang finally tuned back into the conversation, glad that they hadn't been talking to him so he wasn't caught.

"Well we'll do our best to keep her under control. Now, I believe you two should go off. Us elders need to speak in private." Monk Gyatso said as he and the Eastern Temple elders walked away to talk.

"So...what's there to do around here?" Kama questioned once her and Aang were alone. "The elders said we should get to know one another." Kama said with a slight shrug at their dictations.

"Well, we could go for a fly." Aang offered as Kama smiled at him, earning a smile as well from the young avatar.

"I like you already." Kama said before she opened her glider and took off. Aang followed closely behind on his own glider.

"I think this may work." Monk Gyatso stated as he and the other elders watched the two young airbenders.

About two weeks later

"Hey! You're cheating!" Aang complained as he played Pai Sho with Kama, noticing she used an air bending technique similar to Monk Gyatso's to distract him and cheat.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. A gust blew in through the window." Kama countered as she sat in front of him calmly, a small smile dancing on her lips.

"What window? The window is behind you! Not me!" Aang argued as Kama's small smile turned into a full blown smirk.

"You already lost. Just accept defeat Avatar." Kama said with a devious smirk as she rose from her place opposite Aang.

"I wasn't defeated because you cheated to win." Aang countered as he followed the young Vala out of the room.

"Didn't cheat." Kama stated as she formed an air scooter and sped off down towards

"Hey get back here!" Aang called after before he got on a scooter and followed quickly. He was getting close to Kama when suddenly the Vala disappeared around another corner, laughing as she sped into the temple of Avatar's. "Kama!" Aang called after her before being stopped by Monk Gyatso.

"I hope I'm not interrupting you and Kama, but I need to speak with you Aang." Monk Gyatso said as he began to lead the young boy away.

"What's wrong Gyatso?" Aang asked as the elder lead him outside silently.

"The elders believe that you should be training more, and that your time of playing pranks and games with Kama may be unnecessary." Monk Gyatso explained as the Vala herself hid easily on the small room above them, pressed to the roof so they wouldn't see her.

"We have been training though Monk Gyatso. Kama taught me how to fly without my glider, though only for a few seconds at a time." Aang said as he rubbed the back of his neck at the memory.

"I'm just warning you Aang, it takes a lot of practice to be able to stay airborne for a lot longer than a few seconds." Kama said as the persistent Avatar continued trying to figure out the technique that the Vala had created.

"I told you Kama, I'll get it." Aang stated as he stood on top of a roof at a higher point of the temple.

"Well you should at least start from the ground!" Kama yelled up at the young boy.

"Alright here we go!" Aang stated excitedly as he began to build up a large amount of air around his legs. He then jumped off the roof, staying airborne for about ten seconds, before he began plummeting back down to the earth.

"I warned you!" Kama yelled up at him before he came crashing down onto her. "
Ugh get off!" Kama yelped as Aang groaned in slight pain before noticing the Vala beneath him, chuckling sheepishly.

"Yes, you made quite a scene with that little...predicament." Monk Gyatso stated as Aang came a sheepish chuckle at the elder.

"Well I'm still trying to learn." Aang said with a shrug as Monk Gyatso chuckled lightly at the young boy.

"I only wish to ask that you continue training Aang. You cant help the world by slacking off and playing around the temple." Monk Gyatso explained as Kama rolled her eyes from her hiding spot.

"Alright Monk Gyatso." Aang said before the Monk walked away, leaving the young Avatar to his thoughts before his Vala dropped from above him.

"That's how you fly." Kama said with a smirk as Aang chuckled at her.

"You were on the roof, but nice try." Aang said as Kama's smirk faded at the Avatar's sensing abilities.

"What did Monk Gyatso want?" Kama asked like she hadn't heard their conversation.

"To say I have to keep training." Aang said with a shrug as the two went back into the air temple, taking note of all the young benders running off in excitement.

First chapter is finally done. I apologize if it was boring so far. I promise that the next chapter will be more exciting. I hope you all enjoyed my little idea though so far. Next chapter will be coming soon, I promise. Please remember to review for me.
