Fatal Currents
The Northern Air Temple was eerily quiet, as it was the middle of the night, the inhabitants slept, except for one young airbender. Ja-Bae climbed through his room’s window, staff in hand and made his way to the temple’s outer courtyard. He stood at the precipice of the mountain looking out on the other mountains of varying sizes, he could even see a few sky bison pups flying around in the distance with their mother, a lovely sight. For a moment Ja-Bae thought of going and waking up Hei Bai, his personal bison and best friend at the temple so he could fly with him, but soon abandoned the idea. Ja-Bae gave himself a running start and threw his staff ahead of him, watching it release and turn into a glider and jumped from the edge of mountain and caught on to it, sailing himself in the skies around the temple. The young airbender soared on the wind currents around the Northern Air Temple, he flew around several times before diving for the lower mounds of the mountain's structure. His eyes fixed his on the slit in the rock up ahead; he shut his glider's wings to aid in driving himself straight past the crevice in between the two large stones, once through he continued to drop, feeling the air currents ripping as he went. A few meters later he decided to reopen his glider and skirted the side of the mountain’s precipice. All he could think of as glided was how exhilarating it was to be out on the wind, especially without any of the teachers or elders regulating his gliding or his fun. Due to the massacres that occurred at the Eastern and Southern temples, all young ones were to remain grounded without the supervision of teacher, Ja-Bae actually smiled at the thought of being caught, in fact he relished the feeling. It mattered little though, minimum punishment for disobeying the Council of Elders was a month or so of extra chores, Air Nomads in his eyes were far too carefree and naïve, lacking in the correct way to conduct the air temples.
