~~Deciding to leave the coastline, Siam has fled the scene~~

/////////////////

Siam had to go. She had to warn the air temples of the impending danger. They would believe her, right? A million questions ran through head. Questions like was this the best course of action to take but in the end they all were in vain because she had already chosen her path. Someone however decided against her course of action and followed her into the woods.

Siam ran for her life. She dodged past trees and bushes. She knew someone would have come after her if she left but this soon? Whoever it was that was chasing Siam was not only quick but agile as well. She decided to go by foot instead of air because too many people would notice her. But know running though this dense forest seemed to be the worst idea because she could find an opening through the trees.

Coming down a steep slope Siam jumped down using air-bending to cushion her fall. Hiding under a fallen tree trunk she reached into her sack a produced a whistle with which she put around her neck and began to blow. The instrument made no sound and after a couple of seconds Siam frowned then tucked it in her shirt. She started to make her way down the rest of the mountain. Stepping between the debris Siam silently moved through the brush; her heart racing so fast she thought it would give her away. She heard a deafening snap and jumped into a nearby bush. She then realized that her position had already given away she sprinted through the trees. As she got frantic Siam reached for her whistle and blew it as hard as she could. A low noise answered in the distance up ahead.

"Ah, there you are," she replied as Siam corrected her velocity.

With her escape drawing near Siam quickened her pace and charged ahead. A shadow three yards to her right ran at the same pace. Siam, knowing she had to be quick, drew her rod and as she reached the clearing extended the wings. Siam threw it in front of her and leapt after it on to recoil as a ring of fire surrounded her.

"You're a hard one to catch." A figure step out the forest and approached Siam. Even through the flames and flames she still couldn't make out the person's face. The person sat down at the edge of the fire and started to speak again. "So, where do you think you going?"

The voice sounded young and mischievous but Siam didn't care who it was. She wasn't about to allow anyone to get in the way of her mission. She stood up straight and faced her opponent.

"Like I would tell you! Kempa, now," she yelled.

A massive roar answered Siam's call. A giant beast flew up behind her and as it blew through the fiery wall Siam back-flipped onto its back. The gust from the beast toppled the figure over.

Retrieving her staff from where it had fallen, Siam pointed it at the fallen figure that Kempa was guarding. "Now who are you and what do you want?"

The figure was about to speak when a hook shot flew out of the trees and grabbed the figure pulling him back. And if this wasn't bizarre enough a person wearing a white mask with horns landed in front of them and brandished a sword that split in two.

"Stop," commanded the person lying on his back.

"But my lord I really must protest. Allow me the honor of disposing of these rabbles that attacked you."

"Ugh, I was the one who first attacked them. Geez, you always come late you old fart. How long have you been tracking me anyway?"

The person dropped his pose then put his swords together and put them back in their sheath. "Since you left your quarters unannounced. You had me..."

Siam just couldn't wait any longer. This was just getting to weird to her. "W-wait, excuse me? Is that you Mizuhiro?"

The person picked himself up and dusted himself off. "Yes, it's me... sorry about that; I only meant to scare you."

She got off of Kempa and walked toward Mizuhiro. "I'm not scared anymore..."

She walked up to him then studied something on the ground. When Mizuhiro followed her gaze to what she was looking at Siam deck him in the face sending him sprawling. The person with the white mask started to move but Mizuhiro put his hand up.

"No, no, I deserved that. Although I wish you hadn't gone for my nose. Oh yes, I forgot. Siam this is my guardian, servant, and teacher Master Ikasoruk."

Master Ikasoruk bowed toward Siam all the while keeping one eye fixed on her.

She felt she should curtsy or something but decided to dismiss it. "So did you come all the way out here just to grace us with your presence and scare the living hell out of us, me."

"No, not at all, but it was fun. But first let's settle down for the night. Master Ikasoruk could you fetch us some wood for a fire."

While the wood was being fetched Siam unloaded her cooking supplies and some cups. Mizuhiro then started making a fire pit and placed stones around the hole. Soon they were sipping hot green tea around the fire with Master Ikasoruk on watch and Kempa demolishing every shred of grass in sight.

Mizuhiro distractedly put down his cup and looked up at the stars. By producing a flame at the end of his finger he started making figure eights in the sky. "Your flying-bison is impressive. Tempa, right?"

"Kempa. He has been with my family all my life. He is actually pretty old in age for a flying bison. So... why did you follow me?"

"I read the letter you received. I don't know who behind this but I am going to find out and like you I'm going to prevent it as well. To this extent I and my servant shall accompany you to the western air-temple. That is if you will have us."

Siam lay back onto the soft grass and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy for the most part but even though the clouds she saw a shooting star. She closed her eyes and silently said something. Mizuhiro was about to talk but Siam raised her hand for silence. After a second she turned her head sideways to face Mizuhiro.

"Yes you and your servant may come with us. You may even ride on Kempa with me or otherwise we won't make it in time... I am grateful of your assistance. Now, what did you want to say?"

Mizuhiro didn't know whether to laugh or cry but chuckled to himself.

"what is so funny? I was being sincere."

He looked as he was about to explode with laughter. "You, You just laid down on an ant hill!"

Siam jumped to her feet and twirled around feeling her back. An army of angry ants were crawling all over her. Just as she was about to get frantic one of the ants that had been crawling through her hair dropped onto her nose.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggh!"
