《Forward In Time》Chapter Forty-Four
Advertisement
Katara fixes the round airbender necklace Aang wore with his Air Nation formal robes, "There. Ready for a formal airbending ceremony."
Aang smiled, "What would I do without you?"
"You wouldn't be here without me." Katara replied with a small smirk.
"That's true." Aang said before pulling her in for a kiss.
"Hey! Oogies!" Sokka said with a teasing grin.
Katara pulled away and shot her brother a glare as Aang laughed.
"Thank you for staying long enough for Jinora's ceremony." Tenzin said, "This means a lot to her, especially since she looks up to you."
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for anything." Aang replied with a smile.
"It'll be cool to see something from Aang's culture in real life and not just in books and scrolls." Zuko said.
"I'd agree, but seeing just doesn't do it for me." Toph said.
Ikki and Meelo run up to Aang. They both grab one of his hands and start pulling him away as Ikki says, "Come on, Jinora's already inside!"
Katara laughs and follows her boyfriend as the two kids pull him inside. All the others follow them in.
-----
Inside the ceremonial hall, incense sticks were burning. Air Acolytes and many guests are seated, witnessing the ceremony, while airbenders stand on the stage. Aang sat at the front with Katara and his friends, same with Korra. Jinora stood in the middle of the stage wearing a hood.
"Jinora, come forward." Tenzin says. Jinora bows and walks forward before kneeling, "Today, we welcome the first airbending master in a generation. And I couldn't be more proud of my daughter." Jinora looks up and smiles, "When the existence of our people was threatened, when my father, Avatar Aang's life hung in the balance, Jinora never gave up hope. Thanks to her leadership, I see a very bright future for the Air Nation.

"Of course, there would be no Air Nation without Avatar Korra: she opened the portals and somehow the world began anew for us. There's no way we can ever repay her for all she's done. But we can follow her example of service. So the Air Nation will reclaim its nomadic roots and roam the earth.
"But unlike our ancestors, we will serve people of all nations, working wherever there is corruption and discord to restore balance and peace. Avatar Korra, father... I vow that we will do everything in our power to follow in your footsteps and bring harmony to the world." Tenzin bows to Korra and Aang, who bows back, "Now, let us anoint the master who will help lead us in our new path."
Tenzin removes Jinora's hood, revealing her tattoos. Jinora removes the coat and stands up.
Katara gasps and whispers to Aang, "She looks so much like you."
Aang smiles as tears form in his eyes. The airbenders bend the smoke from the burning incense sticks, sounding the wind chimes around the hall. Jinora hugs her father. The audience claps as tears falls down Aang's face.
-----
After the ceremony, the Gaang got back into their casual wear. The Air Acolytes had prepared Appa for their journey back. They were standing around the bison with a group around them to say their good byes.
"I'm so proud of you." Aang said as he hugged Jinora, "You beat my record of youngest airbending master."
"Only by a year." Jinora replied as they pulled away.
Aang smiles, "You're very talented."
"Well, I had an amazing teacher." Jinora said as she looks back at her father.
"Only because I had an amazing teacher." Tenzin says as he steps forward to hug Aang.

"I'm proud of you three." Aang said as he and Tenzin pulled away and Kya and Bumi joined their younger brother.
"Both of us are." Katata says.
The three siblings get their hugs in with their parents as Toph talks to her two daughters.
"I meant what I said back at the air temple." Toph said, "I really am proud of you both."
"We're sorry for all the sister drama we caused in front of you." Suyin said.
"Eh, I'm used to family problems. There's a reason why I ran away to join Twinkletoes."
"Despite everything... it was good to see you again." Lin said.
"I'd say the same, but..." Toph waves her hand in front of her face, making the sisters laugh. Toph smiles and turns to Opal, "I'm proud of you as well."
Opal smiles, "Thank you!" She hugs Toph, who hugs her back awkwardly.
Ikki and Meelo runs up to Aang and Katara as Jinora, Tenzin, Kya and Bumi moves on to say bye to the others.
"Do you have to go?" Ikki asked
"Well, if we don't none of this will happen." Aang says as he kneels down to be on the same level as Ikki and Meelo.
"You'll still visit us right?" Meelo asked.
"The Lion Turtle only gave me timebending as a one time use." Aang replied. The two siblings look sad and Aang smiles, "But maybe we might see each other again. You never know."
Ikki and Meelo brighten up and hugs Aang. Korra walks up as the two move on to hug Katara. Aang stands up and hugs Korra.
"Thank you for bringing back the Air Nation." Aang said as they pulled away.
"Glad I could bring back your people." Korra replies with a smile, "Before you go, do you have any last Avatar wisdom to give?"
Aang smiles, "Make sure you take time for yourself. Just because you're the Avatar, doesn't mean you have to be the Avatar all the time. Take time to hang out with your friends, or just to spend time with the one you love." Katara stands up next to Aang with a smile and he puts his arm around her.
"Take time to rest. I really like that advice." Korra replies with a smile.
Bolin walks up next to Korra, "It was really nice to meet you guys. I've always been such a big fan."
"It was good to meet you too. You're really fun to hang out with." Aang replied.
Bolin smiled as he talked to himself, "Okay, stay cool Bolin. Avatar Aang just said you were fun to hang out with, that's all."
Aang laughed as he hugged Bolin.
After everyone said their goodbyes, the Gaang climbed onto Appa. They waved to the group as Appa lifted in the air and began flying over the water. Aang's tattoos glowed as he held his hand out to create the time portal for them to fly through.
