Akusui was still in shock at the sudden confirmation that there were three others like him. He had decided to try to help Kalira as best as he could. He ran some water over her forehead. The responsibilities of being the avatar had gradually been placed on him, this girl however, would most likely have it thrust at her all at once. The training required both in bending and spiritualality would be difficult to handle.
He heard her say the name Rasir and immediantly knew that he was one of the avatars. "It'll be all right," he said quietly.

Kalira woke suddenly, half sitting up. "Where am I?" She asked, before falling back, still feeling weak and tired. She looked up into Akusui's face, having to think a minute before remembering who he was. "Wh-What happened?" Her hand went up to her forehead and she started massaging it. "Whats going on?"

Akusui jumped as Kalira sat up suddenly. He offered her a glass of tea, then moved back to his chair near her head. "You probably should just lie here for a while. We're with the sages now, but they are in a meeting that excludes us. Most likely they are discussing what happened." He looked at her worried about what would come in the next few hours. The sages surely knew what all of this meant.
"You had a vision of another of the avatars as he went into the avatar state. What you saw was happening even as you saw it. You said the name Rasir, do you know someone by that name?"

Kalira nodded in agreement, then said, "No, not that I can remember. It does sound familiar though." She felt she was regaining some of her strength, but the bed was too comfortable for her to argue. She wanted to fall back asleep, but something was keeping her awake.
The Sages finished the meeting, and headed towards the chamber Kalira and Akusui was in as one big group. The guards opened the door hastily as they showed, and they all funneled into the room until they were standing around the bed and chair. "Water Nation Avatar. Earth Nation Avatar." Stated the one at the foot of the bed in a deep booming voice. He was obviously the leader. "It has come to our attention that the Avatar spirit has been split." All the others nodded, and the one closest to the chair Akusui was in spoke in a high, squeaky voice. "If you two are here, then that means there are two out there, hopefully together. Although, the chances of that are almost like the chance of my voice changing." He chuckled but stopped when the others glared. "That means that you have to find the other two, since you found each other. We hope the Avatar spirit acts magnetically, and you will be drawn towards the other two." He finished, waiting for an answer.

Akusui gripped the edge of his chair. It was true then. All of their thoughts were now comfirmed as if now there was no chance to turn back. Turning back to the sages he addressed the last one who had spoken. "What are we to do once we find the other avatars? Do you know anything at all about this split besides that it has occured?" Hundreds of questions streamed through his head as he struggled to think what three other people working in his same mission would mean.
He knew that they were at an air temple but which one, he had no real clue. All that mattered now was that his companions got some rest before they would need to set out again.

"Only you will know." said the Sage with the deep rumbling voice. "And that is why we need you to find the other two. So we may further study this surely historic event. We don't know if they have to same personalities or ideas as you, so I advise you to be careful." With that, the sages turned and left in a group, the one with the squeaky voice turning to wave cheerfully and with a good luck. Then they were gone. Soon after, a person with the air of having somewhere to go but no time, came bustling in. "Alright, you have until nightfall to leave of your own will." With a glance at them, he sighed exasperatedly, then said, "We have no clue where they are, but if one has awakened as an avatar, then you have to find them before someone else does." He began straightening up the room, which didn't look like it needed it at all. "We have food and clothes ready for you to go. They are outside the door." With that he made to leave. "Oh, by the way, it's up to you to train all of them to be avatars. And to get them here safely."

Akusui looked at the squeeky voiced man in disbelief. Not only did they have to search for and train these afters themselves, but they had to leave before nightfall. Then on top of that the Sages expected him to bring the others back here to be studied. He was not used to feeling resentment, but commands from people who intended to do nothing to contribute seemed rediculous to him. He kept it to himself, though, and took the news with a false smile. "Fine we will leave as soon as we can." then added in a sarcastic tone, "Thanks for your hospitality." as the man closed the door.
He then turned to Kalira. "Are you ok now? I guess we'll be leaving sooner than I anticipated." He rubbed his palms together to try to warm them from the sudden chill running through them.

Kalira nodded, but didn't feel ok. She felt like she was only a small part of such a big thing, and didn't like it. All the attention from the village she grew up in had spoiled her a little. She hadn't caught much from the exchange, still being tired, but she understood that they had to leave. She swung her legs out from under the covers, to stand up. Doing this, Kalira started to feel better, like she was in control of her life and destiny. "So, who are we taking and when are we leaving?" she asked, trying to form a plan in her mind. While looking at Akusui, it struck her that they were as good as brother and sister, if not the same person. This sent her mind into even more of a whirlwind then before, what with finding out she was an Avatar and that there were three others.
Jakita walked in, soon after the Sages had left. "So." She said. "What did they have to say?" She was a little concerned, having passed them in the hall but not seeing the one she had met first. "And what time do they want us out?" She looked at their faces, trying to read if she was welcome or not.

Akusui shrugged his shoulders, "Well, I guess its pretty much anyone that wants to come with us. We're going to be searching for two people out of everyone in the four nations. It could take some time. At least they did give us some supplies."
He then turned to Jakita. "They want us out as soon as possible. Not exactly the welcoming type are they?"

Azrael knocked on the door of the room that Akusui and Kalira were in. "hey, I just saw the sages leave. What's going on?" he asked.

Jakita crossed the room as Kalira stood up and checked her stuff by the bed. She quickly explained to Azrael, "I don't know it all, but the Sages want us out of here, to find the other Avatars." By now Kalira was up and standing by Jakita, pack on shoulder. "Lets go," She said. "I want to see how the other Me's turned out." She pushed past the both of them, then saw the packs the Sages had arranged for them, full of supplies. "I am NOT caring anything extra." She declared. Jakita reached over and grabbed two of them, slinging one each over her shoulders. That left only two. Bowing, she said to Akusui and Kalira, "After you, your Avatar-i-ness" Waiting for them to pass, she adjusted the packs, ready for a long trip and a lot of walking.

Azrael shouldered the other two packs, nodding to Akusui. "Where're we lookin' first?" he asked. Somewhere, out in the entire world, were two other avatars. 'Man, I hope they're on our side...' he thought to himself.

Akusui picked up his own pack. "We're looking for the fire and the air avatars so I think that we should start at either of their respective nations. And since the fire nation is trying to find and dispose of us, I'd suggest one of the air temples. We'll have to get a map so that we can find out where each of their temples are. I'm pretty sure the sages won't miss a few of their maps since they seem so intent on kicking us out after we searched for them so long." He left the room and seconds later returned with a case of maps. "Let's get out of this place first, then we'll figure out where to look first."

Kalira nodded, then watched as the packs were gathered up. "So, you think I can't get one myself?" She asked, trying not to sound mad. She took her pack and shouldered it, then brushed past everyone and said, "How are we going to leave? Do you think they supplied us with a boat?" Her head was still spinning a little, but she didn't want anyone to know. "And what Air Temple should we head to first?"
Jakita sighed. "Try and do something nice..." Rolling her eyes at Kalira, mood damped because of that, she followed Kalira, starting to feel this was going to be a long journey.
