another fascinating tale in the little life of Sanaki...
this chapter was pretty cute... ^^
CHAPTER 8:
Miraculously, we were able to land at the Western Air temple a while later. Because of the current situation the world was in, many of the air nomads were still in hiding. However, we got to search the place and found signs that they indeed still lived here.
“They’ll come out if you two call for them,” I suggested, “They can probably sense serenity in your voice. Besides, we all know that all of us are too nice to do anything to harm these sisters.”
I could sense both Kai and Zihark looking at each other, and I suddenly felt them both blush. Nonetheless, after all was said and done, Zihark volunteered to call out for the air sisters. We wandered deeper into the temple, Zihark calling out. He may have felt like (and probably looked like; but I didn’t know, being blind and all) a tough, dangerous man, but in reality, he was like a Male version of Kai. He was shy, humble, quiet, and peaceful. I personally believed that he was the perfect match for Kai, but didn’t say anything yet.
Anyways, Zihark was able to convince some of the air sisters to come out and they treated us nicely and gave us food, shelter and hospitality. A few of the younger ones were curious about our story, but some of the elder sisters forbade them from asking us.
“Are you sure?” Kai replied, “For we do not mind sharing our story to those who are interested in hearing it.”
“If you are okay with sharing it,” said one of the elder sisters, “then you may tell them. We do not believe in trying to get personal information out of people when they do not wish to disclose it.”
“That is understandable,” Kai replied, “but anyone willing to listen may gather around.”
Zihark, Kai and I were all able to tell our parts of the story, all of which were similar, but were from our standing points, and, since sometimes we had been separated, there were differences. The air sisters all listened with serenity and respect, never saying a word unless Kai paused to see if they had questions. They seemed interested in our story.
However, they did not badger us about it unless we volunteered to share information with them.
We continued to live among these air sisters for several weeks. Kai and Zihark helped wherever and whenever they could, and I tried to do the same. A lot of the time though, they did not need me to help, and they especially took care of me because I was blind. I felt slightly hurt by this, for my blindness was never anything I needed help with. However, these sisters were persistent, and I grew to accept their help, and they taught me a few tips on how to manage my blindness even better. I thanked them for it. However, my thoughts were on different things. I was closely listening to the actions of Kai and Zihark, especially towards each other. They seemed attracted to each other, but too shy to say anything. My theories however, were about to be proved.
It happened in two separate incidents on the same day, and both were within an hour of each other. Kai came first and confessed that she loved Zihark, but was too shy to tell him. Later on, Zihark came to me telling me that he loved Kai, but was too shy to say anything.
I did not react until a few days later, after I noticed them shying away from each other more and more. Therefore I devised a plan. I had them both meet me at a certain place at a certain time. When they both arrived, I had only one thing to say. They were facing each other, and I was facing forward, my blind eyes not moving.
“Zihark, you love Kai.” I said, “And Kai, you love Zihark. So, you two need to stop shying away from it, just confess your love to each other right now, and then get married, Okie? I can’t take too much more of this. Don’t be shying away from each other.”
This put them both into shock, and I could sense that my words had hit those dead on. They knew it was true, I knew it was true, and a random young air sister that was recovering from a crash-landing from a glider accident knew it as well.
A few days later, with the help of the air sisters, Kai and Zihark were married. Zihark was a wanderer who didn’t have a last name, and so he picked up the last name Serenes from Kai. These two were happy together, and everyone, including most of the air nomads we spent our time with, knew that this was better for them. This made Zihark my new “father” (just like Kai was my “mother”) and it made Mikaya my new sister. Of course, back then I did not know we were blood sisters, but from that point onwards we were sisters as far as I was concerned. This sort of thing got me to wonder what my parents and blood family were like. I had heard terrible rumors about them, but I had no way of proving them true or not. However, I kept my mind busy by playing with some of the younger airbender girls, or keeping the new Serenes couple happy. I began to enjoy life here at the Western Air Temple, and the three of us began to grow a bond with the airbenders that lived here. We knew that whenever we left, that we would certainly return again—and again.
