chapter 5

"Y/n, how are you here like this?.... I mean... you should be around 100... but.. you look like us" aang finally asked after quite a while walking in silence. Well except for the occasional mumble from sokka about how much he hates bugs.

"106 to be exact. I was wondering when you were going to ask that, and I will be more then happy to answer when it's just you and me"

"Hey what's wrong with me" sokka jogged up next to me and asked. I turned my head to look at him smiling.

"Nothings wrong with you sokka, just your mind is too fragile for this information" he got closer to aang and whispered.

"Did she just call me stupid"

"No, it means that it's something that is harmful for you to know"

"Yes, Penelope that's not nice" I said looking at her, I was walking with my hand on her side with her next to me. Just as we started to exit the forest, the tawn started. We walked to a few different stalls and shops, grabbing what we needed here and there when a little girl ran up to us. She grabbed hold of the cloth hanging from my right arm, which I'm glad for.

"Come" she said as she started to gide me to the outskirts of the town into a little valley not too far away from the town. She stopped and pointed to a statue with 4 glowing orbs above it before she ran away.

"What's that" sokka asked. I wanted to answer him but found that I couldnt as I started to walk closer to the statue. I felt as if someone else was in control of my body, I was a little scared but I didnt feel as if I was in danger. As I stood infront of the statue I noticed that the orbs were 4 different colors. Blue, green, red, and orange. The orange orb was slightly lighter then the rest. My body moved to mirror the statues stance.

"Y/n what are you doing" sokka said, and once again I couldnt answer. Suddenly the orbs started to spin and glow brighter and brighter till they were almost blinding. The statues eyes started to glow a blinding neon blue. I can feel my eyes burning and sting a little as I looked at the statue and my vision turned into a blue hue.

"Y/N GET AWAY FROM THAT" I heard aang yell as he sounded like he was moving closer to me. I could hear whispers of multiple different people, men, and women, in my ears.

"Love him-"

"Be together-"

"Oracle duty-"

"Restore balance-"

"Duty-"

"Duty-"

"Duty-"

"Must-"

"Must-"

"Duty-"

"Duty-"

The voices kept saying, talking over one another as they started to get louder and louder untill I couldnt understand a single word. My ears hurt from the ringing the voices are making.

"IT IS THE DUTY FOR THE ORICALE AND AVATAR TO BE TOGETHER AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER"

"DO NOT FAIL US"

"DO NOT FAIL THE WORLD"

All the voices spoke at once saying the same words before they were no more. The blue hue faded from my vision as did the neon blue light from the statues eyes. Now that I think of it, the statue looked like the Oracle before me. The orbs started to slow and fade untill they stopped and returned to how they were. The hold on my body was let go as I dropped to my knees leaning on my side. Aang dropped down to my side and put his arm around me pulling me to him.

"Are you ok?" I looked down to the grass infront of me and noticed his hand on my waist.... skin on skin contact..... why is nothing happening..... dose it not happen when he touches me....

"I-"

"AHH" sokka cut me off as he screamed and pulled his club out pointing it at the statue.

"W-what is it doing now" he asked as he shook a little. Anng and I looked away from sokka and back to the statue. It started to faid in its shape and move to another.... what.... the statue looks like me now. It's still in the same pose with the same orbs but the orange one is glowing just brighter then the others.

"I didnt believe the monks when they told me but I guess it's true" I looked to anng after he said that.

"What?"

"That there is a time when the Oracle goes though a ceremony and when it is time, the Oracles statues all over the lands will take form of the new Oricale and the color orb of the element that her-*cough*-the current avatar was born into will glow" anng answered me as he helped me stand up using him as support. When we turned around to walk back to the town, we saw all the townspeople standing outside staring at us. When aang, sokka, and I approached the people an old man spoke.

"You're the Oracle?" He said in a sort of astounded tone.

"Yes I am" people in the crowd gasped then everyone one by one starting with the old man dropped to their knees in a bow.

"There is no need for that please stand" I asked. Suddenly a woman ran up to me.

"Please, I need your guidance, will I ever find love" normally I wouldnt do this for something so small, but I can see it in her eyes that she is broken and her thread she is holding onto is about to break. I put my hand on aangs to move off my wast to walk to the women. However, aang would not let got. I turned to face him and stroked his cheek with the knuckle of my index finger as I whispered.

"I'm ok aang" he looked at me with a little worry in his eyes as he nodded his head and slowly removed his arm from around me. I walked over to the women a little more slowly then I would have liked and outstretched my hands to her.

"Give me your hand" she smiled as she outstretched her hand to me and I wrapped both of mine around hers. Immediately, I'm pulled into flashes of blue pictures of this woman's life before the blue pulls back to around the outside of the picture as if I was watching something on a TV from hom- that other world. I see the sad woman walking down a street when she walks by a sickly looking man sitting against a building on the side of the road. She stops and walks back a few steps and looks at the man. She turns back and continues to walk into a house, grabs a pot then walks out going back to the man. She feeds the man soup from the pot then helps him back to the house she brought the pot out of. The vision flashes forward to the man being better and thanking the women who both look like they have new life radiating off of them and he goes to leave. However before he does the women wraps her arms around him and kisses him. The vision flashes forward again to the man and women sitting in the house looking much older with three kids running around as the man holds a baby looking at the women lovingly. Blue pictures start the flash rapidly as the real world comes back to my vision as I pull my hand away from the women and smile.

"Continue to be a kind caring soul that helps people, that is your path to happiness" she frowns ever so slightly.

"That dosnt answer my question though" I chuckle slightly.

"If I tell you what will happen, then it wont, and you will really like what your future holds" I turn to look back at aang and sokka.

"I think we have everything, we should go back" as I start to walk to Penelope the townspeople continue to asked me for readings. Aang comes up next to me and wraps his arm around me.

"Please keep a distance, she is very tired from her ceremony"

"Time to go back hunny, here" I put my hand on Penelope and give her a cube of sugar. I chuckle as I hear her get so excited from the cube, making me think of a little kid with a toy. We leave the village as the people continue to ask me for readings. I dont see anyone that calls out to me spiritly like the woman did, so they all will be fine. If I didnt talk to that women, she was going to end her life.
