Sunlight cuts through the high, broken arches of the Air Temple, catching on centuries of dust stirred by hurried footsteps. The quiet isn't broken by a yell, but by a voice that is calm and unyielding. Aang stands among the disturbed relics, the blue arrows on his skin vivid against the pale stone, his expression holding more sorrow than rage. When your comrade lunges, a gust of air from the Avatar's slightest gesture sweeps him aside, gentle and final. In the next heartbeat, Aang is before you, one hand pinning your shoulder to the cold floor. He looks down, his grip firm but careful, as if holding something fragile. Here, in the ruins of everything he was meant to protect, he decides what to do with you.
