The Air temple was being bombarded from all sides.One of the dragons shot a fireball right at Darren.He jumped out of its path and sent a gust of air at it, knocking the dragon back.He then strafed to the right and fired again, this time knocking the rider off his mount.He ran down to the lower levels to find several nomads trying to flee.A boulder from one of the catapolts struck a section of them.A few were staying behind to try to slow the attack.

"Get inside the temple!"one of them yelled.He saw a one of the children crawling on the ground with a burns on his shoulder and back a boulder heading straight for him.Darren quickly ran beside the child, and sharpened his air blast to slice it in half.He picked the kid up and took him to the Temple's entrance.He then joined those holding the fire nation back.Another blast of fire hit the temple, killing three more airbenders.It was about to fire again, when one of the bisons struck it.Four air nomads appeared astride flyning bison, and started atacking the dragons.

The formost of them was Monk Passang."We'll hold them back!Get inside!"He said.The four bison flew straight at the dragons.Darren and the others did as ordered.Passang went up beside one of the dragons and shot air at the rider who blocked it with firebending, who then pulled his dragon back, and fired at one of the bison.Passang rammed into one of the dragons, causing it to crash into one of the temple's pillars.Passang's bison was then hit reapetedly and fell to the ground.A bloodied Passang crawled from his mount.

Passang opened his eyes to see several Fire nation soldiers around him.One of notched and released.

"A master?!"Darren asked in suprise."We fear a war is coming.We must have as many experinced air nomads as we can for the task at hand."said the eldest monk."Task?""We want to offer you a spot on the elite team we are sending out.The objectives are to observe the Fire Nation carefully.We believe they have somthing to do with the disapearence of Afiko's team.And you must locate the Avatar.Gyastso has volunteered to acompany you.""I will help in any way I can."said Darren."Verywell.We are still recruiting members.We should be ready tomarrow at dawn.Dissmissed."

"So I've heard the news, master."Semii said with a grin."I'm proud.So you going to show me moves when you get back?""You've heard about that too, huh?""Yeah, Its a shame though I did not get to see you very during my stay."Don't worry, I probably won't be gone very long.And who knows?Maby by the time I get back you will also be an airbending master."Darren said.She hugged him and walked away.

Darren was just about done packing when Gyatso appeard."I'm sure you know my reason for volunteering."Gyatso said solemly."You want to find Aang.I promise you we will."

All of a sudden they heard a several loud booms.Darren ran out to find a dozen firebenders astride dragons.There were catapolts bombarding the temple.Darren then knew he might not survive the night.

Two strikes, target down.Five more, three targets down.It been like that for the last six hours.Darren was sweating from the extensive training, but he was confident.The Air Nomad's training had intensified since the dissapearence of the Avatar.As soon as Aang left several weeks ago, Afiko led a team of airbenders to find him, none have returned.The worst is feared.

Air Nomads have been going to other temples to learn different styles.The elders want every Airbender ready in case of a war.From the Eastern temple many airbenders were brought to the Southern Air Temple to train.One of which is Darren's friend, Semii.While from the Northern temple his life-long friend, Shintu, and 20 others are also on their way.He and Shintu were always getting into trouble with the elders.

What was different about Aang being the Avatar was that he it was revealed to him at the age of twelve, when most previous Avatar were told at sixteen.His guardian, Monk Gyatso was like a father to him.Gyatso, who wanted Aang to grow up like a normal boy, and wouldn't teach him advanced airbending.So the other monks were going to send Aang to the Eatern temple to complete his training.Aang who overheard the conversation, ran away on His flying bison that night.Since then Gyatso has been inconsolable.

"I hope Aang's okay", said Darren aloud.

Monk Passang apeared, startling him."Come Darren", he said.Darren followed him to where the other head monks were."Six hours was not nessecary Darren" Passang said."You know me, I like to be prepared." "Indeed.You have been training so hard, we believe you are ready to receive your tattoos and become a master."

Meanwhile...

"Commander Zang, the western air temple has been purged.All airbenders dead.Minimal casualties."

Firelord Sozin knows the current Avatar is an Air Nomad.He has ordered Commander Zang, and three thousand fire bender and soldiers to wipe them all out, so the war can begin.Zang almost questioned the order but decided against it.He will obey Sozin faithfuly.

"Lieutenant Jong, tell the soldiers to rearm.We attack the southern air temple next leave none alive."

It's been awhile since I have logged on.I planned to take a break after getting a certain level.Did anything happen?

1:The Siege Of The North:It has great action and a great way to end the season

2:Appa's Lost Days:Very sad and we find out what happened to Appa.

3:The Day Of Black Sun:Great action, but it could have toned down the jokes.

4:Crossroads Of Destiny:Had the best Two-on-two battles of the entire series and a twist-ending.

5:The Avatar And The Firelord:A nice back-story and was kind of sad.

I watched the season premier of Lost last-night.It was really good.Although the commercials were annoying.I am glad we had a DVR.And it did raise questions, but isn't it why we love the show.I give it a 9 out of 10.

I have missed most of "Lost season three" on telivision.But I got the season three DVD disks and I am almost done with it.All I need to watch now is "Through The Looking Glass" parts one and two.I intend to watch them before "Season four" premiers.

EDIT:I finished the third season.The finale was great.

I think the first and second seasons are tied, and this season is the best of the three.

Starting not far from now,I will start fan-fictions of the show "Avatar The Last Airbender."It will mainly focus on the Minor characters of Avatar.And somemade up characters I thought of.Inclueding Combustion Man and possibly Luten.

It will have a slightly darker tone than the series,and will likely provide-back stories for these characters.Possibly much darker on some of the fictions.

So anyone who reads them, you can tell me what you think.

I got a file on the Guild wars today,it is pretty cool,and I am at level 3.Anyone who has it have any tips?Edit:The viewkeeps changing.I don't know how to make it Third-Person.It keeps going to First-Person

I wish all of you good luck this year.Plus,I made my first review.
