Siam-airbender

~~Having the time of her life at the western airtemple~~

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

She ran and ran not caring where she went. Blood trickled down her hair and into her eye causing Siam no end of misery as she made her escape. How she had survived the temple massacre she didn't know or care. Injured as she was Siam couldn't think properly and instead relied purely upon instinct which was currently telling her to run. To run anywhere but here and then to run some more until either her dread had subsided or to halt from complete exhaustion.

"H, help me," she whispered in vain, "Could someone please... please help me."

Siam franticly looked left and right to see if anyone had followed her. She fell backwards as a piece of stone fell directly in front of her. Since the attack the very foundation of the air temple had been shaken and threatened to crumble into the abyss but the magic in the stones held it together despite the moaning and grinding Siam heard. She got to her feet only to fall against a wall as one of her legs gave way. She stared at her damaged appendage to find it bent at an odd angle.

"It's clearly broken," a women's voice spoke out.

Siam eyes darted behind her only to come face to face with a fire nation soldier. Her face turned ghostly white as the soldier approached her.

"You must be Siam," spoke the female soldier.

Before the soldier was able to say anything else Siam raised both hands and clapped them together as hard as she could. The gust blew the two apart sending them flying in either direction. The soldier twisted in the air and landed on her hands and feet while Siam tumbled head over heels and landed hard on her back.

Siam ignored her pain and used the wall to steady herself as she balanced on one of her feet. As she regained her poise, mouth-chuck lodged her throat and tasted of blood and bile mixed together.

"Please calm yourself... I don't want to hurt you," spoke the female soldier as she approached again more cautiously.

Ignoring the pleas directed toward her Siam continued her fleeing as fast as she could which at that moment was almost a crawl.

I feel faint, Siam thought, I, I not going to make it!

Arriving upon the end of the hallway that came to a 'T' Siam put her back to the wall and faced her opponent like a cornered animal.

"I won't let it end this way," screamed Siam as she sent to ferocious air blades crisscrossing down the length of the hall.

The female soldier standing in front of her earth bended the stone to shield her from the attack but the wall was ripped in down the center destroying it. but as the wall crumbled to the ground Siam saw no one standing behind it.

"Where did she go?"

Siam began scanning the hallways for any evidence as to where her assailant had gone.

"Left, right... up?"

Suddenly the foundation shook beneath her as the fire nation soldier emerged from the ground raising a wall around herself. The soldier jabbed the wall with a finger sending a projectile flying toward Siam. Siam tried to block it with her left hand causing a couple fingers to dislocate. Strangely enough, Siam hadn't felt a thing even then. The adrenaline going to her head had wiped away all pain and again taunted her to run for her life.

Anticipating her reaction the female soldier shot more projectiles that struck Siam in her arm and leg. Before Siam could scream again she found her good leg rubbery and useless. She tried to grab onto something but her arm wouldn't respond to her commands.

"I feel tired," said Siam as she was caught by a rock slab that had risen to catch her.

Siam- airbender

~~lying somewhere unconscious after the destruction of the airtemple~~

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

Siam's head felt cloudy. As she flew though the depths of her unconsciousness she felt nothing and yet was aware of everything.

"This must be the world between waking and sleeping," she thought aloud even though there were none to hear.

As the world brightened Siam felt warm. She felt like her face was in a steam bath as the vapors descended across her face. Then something damp rolled over her eye and forehead like a wash cloth.

Siam started to mumble as she regained consciousness, "A bath, a nice warm bath, and some, some bear?"

In her waking up Siam had come face to face with a giant wooly brown bear which for some reason was wearing a hat. When the bear standing over her noticed how lively she had become it gave off a mighty roar.

Siam started to panic, "B, bear!"

It was only when she tried to stand up that Siam realized how badly she was injured. Along with a couple bruises and bandages Siam realized that she still needed to stay off her broken foot which until recently had been splinted. But in her fear Siam found new strength and determination. As she made her way from anywhere but there she almost fell into a lit fire that had been placed next to where she was lying. As she continued to hobble away she noticed her feet where getting soaked. She looked down at her feet to see bandages, which had been neatly wrapped, soaking up a hot liquid that was scalding her toes. With what little strength Siam had left she painstakingly tried to limp to safety away from that accursed bear who continued to chase her.

"Oh no you don't," someone yelled in the distance.

Siam only had enough time to see the fire-nation mask before a sharp pain sent her crumpling to the ground.

~~~~~~~~

As Siam drifted away from her slumber an aroma hit her stomach like a wall. And the smell was different but similar. It strangely reminded Siam of her mother's cooking. As she pondered about the strange aroma someone knelt beside her and placed a damp piece of cloth on Siam's forehead.

"Mom is that you," Siam asked still a little cloudy.

"Shh, its all right," the women replied.

"I had this horrible nightmare... that I was being chased by the fire nation army and a bear."

"Well you're safe now with Mrs. Yoji."

Siam immediately opened her eyes and shot upright, "Mrs. Yoji?!?"

Siam turned to find the women she had seen earlier only without the fire nation armor. The women had blond hair and wore a red dress covered by a brown cape.

"You're my... you're Mrs. Yoji?" stuttered Siam.

"Yes, I'm Mrs. Yogi. And please don't spill dinner this time. I had a hard time fixing another one when you decided to dump supper all over your feet. And don't move around a lot there is too much to bandage without you ruining it by moving around."

Siam looking down to find herself almost completely mummified in bandages and a couple fingers splinted. She suddenly felt her blood rushing to her head and she again felt the need to lie down. It was then that a question struck Siam.

"Wha, what happened to me? To, to everyone?"

"I sorry my dear but all the inhabitants of the temple have, well, vanished. Don't you remember anything dear," asked Mrs. Yoji.

I, I remember fainting or going unconscious," Siam replied still shocked by what she had learned, "You're not fire nation?"

"Heavens no... but if I was do you think it would make this situation any different? Humph, you'd think all the tending to your wounds that I did would speak for itself but no. And thinking of so harshly of the fire nation."

Mrs. Yoji clicked her tong in rebuke.

"But I suppose the situation does demand precautions," Mrs. Yoji countered with a sigh, "I myself was using the discarded armor to determine the situation here in subterfuge. When I was able to approach the site safely I found no one here with the exception of you dear."

The women then proceeded to hand Siam a bowl of soup with a wooden spoon. But with all the knowledge she had just ingested Siam didn't feel like eating or living.

"And it was a good thing I found you too. If I hadn't you would have either died from your wounds, starvation, or simply from the cold what with the condition your clothes were in."

Siam eyes darted wildly at the women as she drank her soup, "Wait, what did you do with my clothes?"

"Honey, your still wearying them," said Mrs. Yoji pointedly, "Their just covering your wounds now and holding your splinted leg in place. Now don't look like that... if you where to try to wear them now you look like you belonged in one of those despicable geisha establishments and a horrid one even then."

"My parents bought those...," Siam voice trailed off as she continued to burn holes in her soup. With her last memento, her last connection to her family seemingly broken Siam felt lost to the world around her. She would have continued in this manner if there wasn't a face being drawn inches from her own.

The once calm women know looked like beast out to kill as a unnerved Siam stared into Mrs. Yoji's burning eyes.

"Listen here and listen well you selfish good for nothing. I don't want to add insult to injury but I will not stand for your brooding. I didn't drag your sorry ass out of that mess down there only for you to give up on life. Now eat up the soup I gave you while it can still do you some good and you can find your life's purpose later."

Still wincing from the tongue lashing she had received Siam franticly drank her soup as Mrs. Yoji got up. Finding that the thin soup actually tasted good she passed her bowl back, "Could I have some more?"

At this Mrs. Yoji's face melted into a content smile, "Why sure you can dear. It's actually my own recipe but some of the ingredients vary since I can't always find the ingredients in the wild."

As Siam finished the second bowl she laid it aside and nodded her thanks to the woman. With her belly now warm and full Siam called it a midday and contently fell asleep to the sound of the fire popping at random intervals.
