Chapter 95 - Chapter 97 (1/2)

Dragon was walking around inside the walls of southern air temple. He was looking for Aang because the boy had missed the appointed time for their training.

He spotted a group of kids that looked to be Aang's age. So he approached them in hope for some answers.

”Excuse me, little ones. Do any of you know where Aang is?” He said and watched all kids turn around at the exact same time, it looked a little creepy how in sync they performed that.

”Aang should be with elder G-Gyatso. He's always there, I'm so jealous.” The kid said and immediately forgot about Dragon again. His massive size didn't earn him any cool points with the kids.

”I see. Thank you, little one.” Dragon had for some bizarre reason gotten into a habit of calling the kids here, little ones. He didn't know when it started, but now it had become a habit of his.

'He couldn't possibly still be with Gyatso. That can not be the case, he is fifteen minutes late after all.' Dragon started walking towards Gyatso's house.

The closer he came to the house, the more he realized how lax he had been with Aang and Gyatso. Because right now, he could hear loud laughter from inside the house.

He arrived at the house and walked inside. And immediately he was faced with the scene of Gyatso and Aang eating cake and laughing.

”Gyatso! I accepted this role out of respect for you. But if you do not want me to teach Aang, then you could have just said so.” The more he talked, the louder he became and the more violent the winds around the house became.

”Whoops! It seems we forgot about your practice today, Aang.” Gyatso said and smiled. But that smiled disappeared when he was met with Dragon's gaze.

”Aang, there is no training today. But if you don't show your face on my mountain tomorrow. Then I will just leave now instead of two years from now.” He was staring at Gyatso but talking to Aang.

”We understand! Forgive us, Temple Guardian!” Gyatso said and laughed silently to himself. But he also forced Aang to bow down by using his hand to press on the boys head.

”Forgive me, Teacher!” Aang said. But he didn't mean any of it. Aang was three years old so much of the things going on in his life, he didn't understand. And that was also true for his training. He didn't know that a specific time was set up. That was Gyatso's duty.

”If I find you doing this again, there will be a price to pay.” Dragon glared at the duo before walking out of the house in frustration.

'Should have stayed on my mountain.' Dragon complained like an old man already. And it didn't take long before he heard Aang and Gyatso laughing again.

'I will never leave my mountain again!' Dragon walked away with a depressing and annoying aura around him.

Dawn of the next day arrived and Aang together with the carefree Gyatso arrived on the mountain. Gyatso looked healthy and refreshed, but Aang looked like he was still asleep.
