Today was the annual festival of the Air Tribe and also the day I will be leaving here. So sad. I will be missing out on the festivity and the food, but I guess it's for everyone's good. I went to look for Andrew, I wanted to talk to him one last time. Who knows when I will come back here. I searched everywhere until I found him. He was sitting under a tree at the middle of the village
"Hey, good morning," I said.
"Good morning, how are you doing?" he asked
"I am fine; I just wanted to say my good-byes. I will be leaving any moment from now on," I said.
"I heard that from your mom today," he said.
"Oh, okay, so bye," I said.
"Can you give me a hug?" he asked.
"Why not?" I said, trying to hide my excitement.
I hugged him, and we waved goodbye to ourselves. I did not want to go; this is literally the first crush I have.
"Wait, come take this food with you; eat it when you get there," Andrew said.
"Thanks; now I won't miss out on the good food," I said.
Andrew smiled and escorted me to the gate. I literally hugged him again when I was about to leave in front of everyone, and I immediately withdrew. Everyone laughed at this.
"Hmmm, guess my baby has her first crush. I will miss you a lot, baby," Mom said, and I smiled.
"I will miss you too, mom," I said, and I hugged her. My great-grandmother and I left the tribe, and we started our journey to the secret place. We walked for hours.
"Are we not there yet? I'm tired and hungry, great grandmother," I asked.
"First, stop calling me great grandmother; it's creepy. I am not that old," great grandmother said.
"Hahaha, you're not that old? You're literally five hundred and something years old," I said back.
"Can you see what I'm saying? I am not even up to three hundred and fifty years old, and anyway, I packed us food from the festival; we will be eating it when we get to the secret chamber," my great-grandmother said.
"You are still very old, and thank God you brought some food. Andrew also gave me some food to take with me," I said.
"So you're in love with that boy," the great-grandmother said.
"Great grandmother, stop it!!" I said while blushing.
"The smile says it all. I hope you get to meet him again," she said.
"Yeah, me too," I said.
"Here we are, dear. Hold on, let me check if inside is safe. If I do not come out after a long time, please go back immediately," she said.
I waited patiently, and I began to hear footsteps. Omg, who's there? I was literally shaking. A very cute, hot guy passed; he has gold hair with gold eyes; he literally looked like he fell from the movies. I couldn't stop staring, but I knew there was trouble. Immediately I saw his pendant; his pendant was water. He's from the Water Tribe. I stood there shaking while he came close to me. I wanted to run, but my leg couldn't move. He came very close to me, looked at me, and went back. I did not know what that meant, but I definitely sighed.
My great-grandmother came out a few minutes later and told me the coast was clear. We entered the most luxurious underground chamber. I immediately fell in love with it, and I never regretted coming here. I looked around to access the place, and I chose the biggest room to sleep in. I dropped my luggage inside the room and sat down in order to rest from the tiring, long journey. My great-grandmother came to my room and asked for the food Andrew gave me. I gave it to her, she prayed for it, gave me my food back, and we both ate. Great-grandmother was also stressed out from the journey, so she decided to go to the other room to take a quick nap. Not even five minutes later, she started calling me. What kind of people are these? A quick nap takes thirty minutes to an hour. I rolled my eyes and went into her room.
She called me to tell me to get ready for my training and said it would start tomorrow. I was happy it wasn't starting now, but I was nervous. I literally have just one month to train, and I will be discovering my powers soon. Will I be able to shoot fireballs or make fire waves? I started imagining all sorts of things. I really am excited for tomorrow.
