The Dawn breaker of time.Sun rises in its glorious shine and decorating the cold morning with its bliss.Light dicing through the plate of darkness above rested men. Yohn and Kayne had arrived at the shore of the memorial island.Instead of sleep,he rather stayed in the state of meditation through out journey.They were received by a group of nomad-dressed-looking people or monks.
They met weird looking old men of which kayne wasn't puzzled enough to question them of their scheme of living so far.Just never wondered if anyone ever stayed here.
"I thought nobody lived here?"Kayne asked.
"It seems you know a little about this place.We've been put here by Tenzin to clean up daily as a job to cover up for the damage.A least he pays us good money"said a man with an eerie smile.
They walked them in and showed him around.Walked passed the architecture and stiff standing pillars and statues of all the avatars that had lived and passed upto the huge one of the true legend.The airbending monk,who became avatar.
"This place looks like a temple of worship."said Kayne as they strolled.
"Indeed it does,the modification once again was supervised by the Tenzin,son of the last avatar,Aang.To give the maximum respect to his father for his great work and love for the world."the man stated.
"He deserves more than this,history has great things about him."Kayne uttered back.
"I like this Kid!!"the old tour guide shouted as he gave him a tight hug.
They took them to a mini island raised by an earth bender who worked with them.They built tiny buildings on it for inhabitant workers.They gave Kayne and Yohn separate rooms to stay for the mean time with food,water and clothesA warm welcome than ever.
On the island with these homeless workers,he learnt nothing but meditation from Yohn.It came to his realization that Yohn was the only true monk.The rest were having nothing but a cosplay event.He was taught how to maintain his body on earth but his mind at limbo,also known as astral projection.
With this he learned to maintain his sound in the spirit world in order to learn their ways by syncing with them in soul and in energy.
Day after day,he returned with new discovery and knowledge of which he put down in scrolls for future reference.
One morning,Kayne joined them during breakfast.They all spoke of their previous lives in the city before it was all taken away from them and spoke of how they hated their jobs on the island.
They talked about it with emotions expressed and continued by stating their hatred for the avatar,Korra.Kayne besides all what he had been through chose to remained silent,not participating in the discussion.
The food turned cold.Kayne picked it up and threw it into the river for fishes and ducks.He watched them eat like he was new to nature.He smiled at this scene until his serenity was disturbed by the loud chattering from inside.
"Hmp!Amateur."he chucked at them.
Republic city was never peaceful from the start.Little were the crimes to be rumoured around concerning gamblings and minor household attacks.
Homelessness was the the new problem.Others spent days picking up from the very debris left of the destruction.With no appreciation to the fight of Korra the Avatar.They thought through and saw it to be stupid,even though kuvira meant slavery,Korra led streetism.They lost faith in heroes they looked up to.They weren't gods,just benders and non benders.Who only corrupt or destroy and leave the people with news of joy and no panic unless it got out of hand.
The entire family of Tenzin were seated for dinner.Tenzin had memories of him being trained by his father and imagined what he would have done in the situation of Korra.His imagination displayed his father at an ultimate avatar state,making kuvira sorry for trying to put herself as a human on top of other humans.And would let her kneel to the only God playing human,the Avatar.But he shook his head and realization of his dumplings kissing his nose instead of his mouth out of him zoning out into fantasy land.
The kids laughed and his wife smiled too.He would be deceiving everyone if he didn't smiled back.
After dinner,Tenzin woke up from a nap and the thought of the his reverie earlier.It seemed so mesmerising it turned to feel like a vision.He folded the bedsheets away to expose his legs and slipped his feet into his slippers.He ambled towards a nearby window and stared at the world outside.
He walked to the kettle and cooked some tea,poured it down into a ceramic cup and stood to watch the sun rise,still driven by his thoughts on the vision.
Sip!!
He made up his mind to visit the memorial island.He saw that to be his brightest idea of calming his thoughts and escape the vision.He had a snack without talking or having a bite out of the conversation at the hall.Right after a stretch of giggles he stood up.
"I'm leaving to the Memorial Island,to see dad.No one should bother coming with me on this trip.I need to be alone for a while"he announced.
"Have a nice trek dad!!"screamed Ikki as Jinora rushed to embrace him.
He sat still and giddied up his byson into the skies.Yohn was wandering on the walkway passed pillars.With a slow long press of air into his nostrils,he really loved the breeze.His eyes looked straight up the walkway,avoiding all of nature's beautiful distractions,decorated around him until his attention was finally pulled away.It was the pillar.Normally they were smoothly polishes like a fresh cylinder all around.But he threw his eyes to take a look at a strange phenomenon.
Unlike any other day or any other pillar,one was carved and designed.He resumed drifting and saw the other ones aswell as the following one ahead were the same but with a different layout.He was shocked at it.No one on the mini island had the time to do this marvelous artpiece.He peered forward and examined the other pillars ahead and away to all have had unique carved drawings.
He hustled into Kayne's room.Forgetting his privacy he barged in but saw it empty.He gently placed the cup of tea on his centre dinner table and used the back door to the yard outside.And there he was.
Kayne was earthing.He was bare footed and he wasn't stomping or fisting but the earth was moving underneath him.Crackes started to develop under his feet.Yohn was worried he was gonna fall into the water.But the cracks were carvings on the rock.Kayne's eyes were closed and remained shut.After a short repition of moves he stopped and opened his eyes.Yohn was impressed at the view.The rocks were designed with cracks like carvings .
It added up and giving him a clue that the pillars were all Kayne's doing.But he questioned himself how Kayne got there.The boy was 35 metres away from land on a flat plane of rock surrounded by water and swimming ducks.Kayne noticed Yohn.He hit the the ground with his heel.
Crack!!
The foundation under the rock broke off and the water surface bubbled.
Swooosh!!!
The rock was moving.. Kayne was bending the earth on water like a floating boat,pushing himself towards Yohn.He leaped off the rock and landed right beside Yohn,took a scroll from his hands and head in.Yohn joined him.From the looks of the boys room his lights were on and his bed was untouched.And the floor was overlayed by scrolls and books of history about Aang.
Yohn lifted a scroll with airbending moves scripted in it.He was puzzled at why an earth bender would learn air when it's not his chi flow.
"You were reading about Aang?"Yohn asked.Kayne ignored anyways.
"Have you been meditating?"Yohn asked again.Another act of neglect of attention and response was delivered by Kayne.
"We received a call from the air temple and Tenzin would be visiting the island with beifong"he stated.
The boy slowed his pace and stopped moving around the room.He wasn't worried about the news but a name in the sentence,Beifong.He steered his head and turned it facing Yohn.He stared at him for a while and then got the words to finally speak.
"I meditated last night."he said.Denying the the first and third questions.
"I assume it did it go well?What did you see?"Yohn asked with a smile of assurance of a positive answer.
"Why do we have a cult here worshiping the previous avatar?"he asked in a daring tone of a voice.
Yohn was stunned.His confidence and security broke loose and so did his grip which left him wondering.
"Wha..what are you talking about?"his voice shivered at the start of the question and then deepened at the ending.
Yohn had never spoken that deep since he met Kayne.The 16 year old boy could sense mistrust in him.Of course he wasn't stupid to trust a man for just giving him food,clothes and shelter.Anyman would do it to make friends.
"How did you find out?he asked in lower deeper voice than normal whiles starring into the kids eyes,curiously waiting for his reply to initiate his next action.
Meanwhile at the the police department of Republice City,Tenzin passed by to greetings on his way to the island.
"What do you have for me today Lin?" Tenzin asked.
"My men found this piece of rag from Asami's cutting site.It seemed to belong to the boy or thing that attacked you the swamp near the city"she said.
"So you are..." Tenzin's statement was quickly interrupted.
"We suspect he must be hiding hear since the city was found empty of him."she added.
"How do you know its a he?"Tenzin asked.
"If this rug is what we expect it to be,then our suspect will turn out to be a boy of name Kayne Roh,of the age 16.Smart kid with high grades in almost everything until he became homeless and a comrade of our escaped convict,Zit."she said.
"With him we can track Zit as him being a bait,since he knows Zit that much."she added.
