"And you are?" I asked with clear skepticism about everything that was transpiring, see… after I arrived at the village a random wolf appeared in the room I rented, normally this would be no problem for me… but the wolf was not alive, he had no water at all on his body. Even though he drank some of my toilet… the point is I knew this wolf was a spirit, ergo why I was asking said wolf who he was.
Studying the creature closely, I noticed that it reminded me of Vaatu in a way. The wolf had markings on his body that glowed every now and then, giving the wolf a sense of mysticism that was vexing.
"I am one of the spirits who resides in this forest. But I'm not important. My Master's signature in every plant, animal, and human. From the smallest possible babe to the mightiest of beasts. Many have different names for her, but only one is true, for she's the mother of all faces," I have to be honest as the wolf spoke, I was kinda surprised he did… I was speaking a woof or some shit.
"So… your master is the Mother of Faces… right?" I inquired, getting a nod for an answer from the spirit wolf, "Can I meet her?"
"Yes… you are a vexing for her… for you are the one creature whose face she didn't mold," The wolf stated.
Wait… my face wasn't molded by her… red flag… no… crimson flag, "Cool, cool, cool, unrelated question… is she mad about that?"
"I'm not entirely sure… but I do not think she is mad… mostly interested…" The wolf answered, and yes… I'm not meeting the almighty face giver now… who knows what would happen.
"Alright I'm ou-" Before I could even manage to finish my sentence the wolf howled, and in the blink of an eye I was standing in front of a lake, "-ttt... fuck," I cursed.
"I have brought the human, my lady…" I will kill that wolf if she tries to kill me… I'm not going down alone.
•Intriguing...• A soothing yet commanding voice muttered, taking a deep breath, I studied the massive big spirit in front of me, her appearance was… not that impressive really, like a big tree with many faces, but her presence was overwhelming, I knew just by looking at her, that she could crush me even with my bending on a instant, •A face I did not give… a soul I have not touched, nor any other primordial spirit, Life hasn't touched you… Death hasn't touched you… it's vexing… and yet so unnatural,•
"I would like to clarify… I don't have anything to do with any of this… I mean what you just said," I clarified, I did not want to die because I was an anomaly.
•I know… that much I know,• The Mother of Faces replied, •But this is something we have to rectify… your mere existence breaks the balance of things…•
"I- what?... look, I'm not breaking anything…" This bitch is going to kill me… well… you are going down with me Scooby Doo!
•Your fear is unnecessary… and misplaced, I won't kill you… for it's not your time… nor is it within my realm to do so…. I will merely give you what you never had the chance to get… a face just for you…• Wait… she wants to Michael Jackson my ass…? •It will in a way give you what you want… for you must also meet the primordial spirits to get the things that were negated to you, by whoever created you....•
"I don't want a new face though…" I stated… I mean…. fuck it, it's not even my original face anyway, "But I suppose I don't have much of an option,"
•That is correct… I can't allow a face that hasn't been molded by me… roam free… is an insult to my purpose,• The Mother of Faces nodded.
"What exactly have I been negated?" I asked with curiosity.
•A face to call your own… a life to call your own… an ending to call your own… even your bending is but a pale imitation of what it could be… for the blessing within you is incomplete… Tui and La tried to fix you….but they failed, for it's not their realm to do so… in short you are a pale copy, a weak imitation of what a human being should be, a cruel joke of a unknown being...• Wait….I was the great value version of a human in this world… what in the actual fuck!!? I was stronger than anyone I had met… except maybe for Iroh, how could I be… just but an imitation….•You will be complete… once you get the gifts every living creature is entitled to… starting with a face,•
"Very well… as long as I keep my memories," And I keep being handsome… God knows I will cry if my face ends up being something ugly.
•You will,•

[Aang POV]
It took me a while, but I found my friends, but even then… the illusion of that girl laughing still haunted me… who was she, and why was she so important, I felt like I had to know. Like she was the key to something… an important part of my mission.
I was so lost… and I was supposed to be the avatar… I was supposed to know these things.
Maybe I would know later… maybe I wasn't supposed to know until the time came… I really hate my job… is so confusing at times, anyone else would've been better for it.
"Appa is near… my boomerang can feel him!" Sokka stated with a wide grin.
"For the last time! That's not how boomerangs work!" Katara growled in annoyance.
"Let me have a dream!" Sokka cried out, pouting.
"We will find Appa and Momo… no matter what," I added, breaking their sibling bickering.
"We will," Katara nodded.
"Of course we will! We are unstoppable!" Sokka smiled.
