(omg I am so sorry everyone! We packed up my computers at home, because we are moving, and I havent had a chance to get on a computer since! Well, hopefully the school doesnt find out...)
Kalira ignored them and started to head up the street. "They are going to let the Avatar in!" She said confidentally. Inside she was trembling, scared of rejection from anyone. "Can we check out the shops first, or should we find the Sages?" Kalira asked. She felt out of her element, and probably everybody else did, so shopping would help. There were beautiful stalls all around them, and the bustling of the people doing their everyday shopping was infectious. 'I should never have left Jusin.' Thought Kalira. 'So many people!' Someone bumped into her, making her stumble backwards and hit someone else. Both people glared at her. She wanted to say something, but knew it was better to keep her mouth shut.
Jakita followed the elder, twisiting between the people and the carts. He led her higher, and higher, and higher. The people thinned out, the carts disapeared, and a huge wall stood in front of them. "Sad, so sad. Ever since the Fire Nation invaded, the Palace has built this dreadful wall." The man mumbled to himself. The guards at the gate bowed to him, opened the door, and let them in. Jakita gazed around in wonder at the place around them, before it dawned on her. "You, your a Sage, arent you!" She blurted out.

Shino watched as Kilira bumped into some people, and ran over to her. "You alright" he asked as looked around at all the people. "Omashu can be a dangerous place if your not used to large crowds like this" he said with a big smile.

Kalira brushed herself off, as if she was contaminated. "I'm fine." She sighed. Turning to Azrael and Akusui. It struck her that, technically, Akusui and her were related. That was confusing. Someone was missing... "Hey." She said. "Where did Jakita go?" Not that she cared, but if they were lost and confused then she had to be too. "Has she been here before?" Kalira asked almost to herself. If she had, and knew where she was going, then how dare she leave without them!? Two of these people were the Avatar...s!
The man chuckled at her bluntness. "Yes, I am." He answered. "My name is Abhay." He lead her into a modest room, and invited her to tea. Jakita was silent most of the time, almost gloating that she reached the Sages before the Avatars. Thinking of that, she wondered if she should mention Kalira and the other Avatar, what was his name? Akusui. To mention them would ruin her gloating, so she decided the settle for a middle ground. "After this," Jakita said, interrupting anything he might have been saying. "I would greatly appreciate it if you would come with me and meet some...friends, of mine. We came to Omashu to look for you." The man, Abhay, agreed to happily. It wasn't everyday he was able to leave this palace, elaborate as it was. It wasn't his style.

"It doesn't matter, she was just a bothersome tag-a-long anyway." Azrael said, He waved down a busy lookeing street. "C'mon, lets go check this way..."

"But she is also alone in a strange place. We should try to find out where she has gone to." Akusui said. "She's a part of this for now and we can't abandon her yet." His eyes began searching for any sign of the girl but the crowded streets were making this difficult. "Where was the last place that she was with us?" he thought out loud.

Azrael rubbed his chin. "Uhhh, I don't know. Down the street maybe?"

Akusui let out an audible sigh s he searched in all direction. First the sages then Jakita. If they could just find the sages, he felt that all of their questions could be answered "Well, might as well try going that way. We've got no real clue what we're really looking for," he said already turning toward the last place Jakita had been seen.

Kalira sighed. "Lets just forget about it for now and find a place to sleep." It was getting dark out, and Jakita could fend for herself. Why should they search for her? The people on the street were starting to thin as more shops closed. "I hope there's an inn nearby." She mused. "If not, we are in for a rough night." It didnt help any that none of them knew their way around. "Are...we lost?" She asked. With the darkness came more doubts.
After talking for a while after finishing their tea, Jakita stood up to go. Abhay, standing up also, yawned. "Pardon me," he said. "Tea always makes me sleepy." He yawned again. "I suppose you are ready to find these 'friends,'" He said, with a chuckle at her face. "It can wait until morning. There are various inns they can stay in if they need to. An old man like me cant do too much after his bedtime!" He chuckled again. He called in some helpers, who cleaned the dishes. He started to shuffle off to his room, giving instructions to one of the helpers to show Jakita to a room. The aid bowed in agreement, and led her off.

Kalira felt weak all of a sudden. She stopped, swaying, then collapsed to the ground. Her tattoos glowed weakly, and she moaned slightly. In her head, she saw swirling air, and she was the cause of it. At least three people she could see in the corner of her eye, all bracing themselves against it. One little animal landed on her back. The person she was in head wasnt trying to get it, at least yet. She watched all of this, and fire and lava being controlled by her. She felt a deep connection to whoever's point of view she was watching, much deeper then friends or family.
Jakita was taking a last sip of tea when someone burst into the room. "Abhay, I am sorry for the interuption, but there is an urgent matter." The aid said. Jakita rose and followed them out of the palace, down the hill. A small crowd of what she guessed were the sages and others were surronding what she thought was Kalira. She couldnt get closer to take a better look though.

"Kalira!", Azrael yelped in surprise. He saw her fall and tried to catch her. he was watching her, she seemed to glow momentarily. He looked at Akusui "What's wrong with her?"

The thunderous rage of noise was moving restlessly through Akusui's mind. He saw flashes of men and stone but surpressed them thanks to one of the training exercises he was forced to do in his younger years. His hands shook with the effort. Who else could summon such power?
He kept his eyes focused on her even as he tried to answer Azrael's question. "It feels like someone has entered the avatar state. If there really are four avatar's, we each could be connected with the others. I've had some lessons in controlling the visions that she has now, but even with them its tough to keep them from overpowering me." He knelt down by her body "Kalira," he said queitly, "What can you see?"
Four avatars and each connected to all the others by entering the Avatar State. He looked around but could barely tell the Omashu walkway from the stone room flying around him. What could have brought on this rage? He asked to himself as he knelt next to the struggling earth avatar.

A voice came from far away. Akusui, calling. What was it he said? Kalira was jerked away for a few minutes, trying to make it out. What can I see? She answered, sounding far away to herself, "An air temple. In the air. I...I think I killed someone. With lava. Fire. Wind rushing around. Three people. And, a squirrel thing." It all faded out. Kalira took a shuddering breath before losing consciousness.
The crowd around her all held their breath as Kalira spoke, including Jakita. The sages all clumped together and started to murmur at each other. One of them nodded at an aid, who approched them and bowed. "I am sorry, but we must take her to the palace." He explained. "But only if it's alright. Otherwise we could take her to an inn or...leave her."

He listened as Kalira described the scene in her head. And it was just before she lost consciousness that his own vision of the events played out. He didn't see the companions she described at first. Instead, he saw an airbender coming out of the avatar state, across from him was a woman whom he'd never met but knew he had seen her before, Kalira was near as well; her head dropping slowly, finally, he saw himself standing near the others. She had seen the scene that the avatar was in, he had seen each of the avatars.
He came out of the trance and felt the rage of the avatar state lifting. He no longer had to fight the power but instead let it go dormant. He stayed down near Kalira making sure that she would be fine when he heard the sage ask to take her.
Akusui nodded toward the sage. "You can take her, but we will be coming with you as well if that is the case."

Azrael nodded in agreement, fear showing in his eyes at the srtange events unfolding before him.

They carried her off, all the way to the palace. They showed them to seperate champers, and gave them food. The sages held an immediate confrence, leaving the others to rest and refresh themselves.
Kalira had images flying in her head, of four people, all who looked eerily like her. They all showed signs of being of diffrent nations. They all turned to pure light and merged, then they faded out. She turned over in her half-consicous sleep. "Rasir..." She muttered.
Jakita was staying in a simpler room, due to her request for it. She had no idea where the others room were, except Kaliras. She was sure everyone had followed Kalira to her room. She was laying on her bed, clothes on, debating whether or not to leave and visit Kalira.
