Chapter One
Awakend
Ryu woke up, stretching himself out along the old and hard mattress. He looked down towards himself; black shorts covered his legs, ripped at the knees, and had blood stains, along with the tight, sleeveless, black shirt. He looked up, the dim room was full of people, talking and laughing. He moved and sat on the edge of the bed, the cold feeling of the floor reached his foot. He tried to remember where he was, but nothing came to mind. He looked up, he tried to remember something, anything, but still his mind drew only blankness. He scanned the room again, this time his eyes meet with a little boy. They little boy’s face light up when their eyes meet and he yelled, “Look! Mr. sleepy heads up!”
Most of the people in the room began to move towards him. Ryu slowly moved himself back, hiding in the shadow created by the top bunk. When they got closer, he moved himself back against the wall. When they were close the oldest looking did a stopping motion with his hand, and all the others stopped.
“Wait, he looks scared.” Ryu eye twitched as the man came and slowly floated down on the bunk, placing himself next to Ryu. His short white hair almost seemed invisible on his head. The man muscles seemed to even pop out of his long white robe.
“We aren’t here to hurt you,” the man said soothingly, “I gave you the antidote.” Ryu’s eyes widened He suddenly remembered something about an antidote. He couldn’t think of anything to go along with it, all he remembered was an antidote, nothing more.
“You were thrown into this jail cell about three days ago, you were bound in chains by gang leader and some of his goons, Ling here,” the man said pointing back at a smiling girl, whose long brown hair almost matched her deep brown eyes. She stood with one hand on her waist, the other hanging freely. Her deep red shirt didn’t cover her whole body, and her pants of the same color laid freely over her legs. “She saved you from them, you’re lucky she came, who knows what Minsheng would have done with you. Useless thug that one is.” Ryu eye opened wider once more, he remembered being bounded against a wall, and a group of boy, laughing, each hit him. He remembered one in particular, he wore a black headband, and he gave the orders.
“Me and my sister got you wrapped up,” A boy said emerging from the group, his long white hair seemed to match the man’s sitting on the bed. He tilted his glasses up a bit, “If you feel any pain, feel free to let me know.” Ryu looked up and nodded, then looked back down at the floor.
“So is the really the Mr. who escaped the Fire Nation?” A young boy asked.
“Yeah and then came back wanting to save us!” Yelled another little boy who looked very much like the other one, both had long, brown, messy hair, and both had huge grins across their faces. There brown eyes seemed to be glowing in awe. They threw their hand up in the air, and moved forward to the bunk, getting uncomfortably close to Ryu.
“Can you tell us about your adventures Mr.?” One of the boys asked.
“Yeah! Please?” They other asked.
“Pretty please?” They both said together.
“With a cheery?” One giggled.
"Lick his face Peng!" One said, pointing to Ryu's face.
"Ok Ping! Lick attack!" The other said, sticking his tounge out towards Ryu.
“Boys!” The brown haired girl laughed, “I’m sure he doesn’t want to talk about it now, run along, and stay out of trouble!” The girl shook her head as the two twins ran off, giggling their heads off. “Sorry for that,” The girl sighed, “My names Ling, and who would you be?”
Ryu looked up at her, “I’m Ryu.”
“Ryu huh? Well nice to meet you!” Ling said, holding out her hand. She held it out for a few seconds, and then laughed. “You’re supposed to shake it!” Ryu looked at her hand, and then grasped it, and she shook it up and down. “See?” She laughed.
Ryu smiled and shook her hand. “Thank you for saving me,” he said rubbing the back of his head.
“It was nothing,” Ling said, smiling and blushing at the same time.
The man stood sitting on the bed stood, as he stood Ryu felt the whole mattress spring up. Ryu stood along with him. “My names Ru,” the man said. Ryu shook his hand, and then bowed to him.
“Thank you for the antidote,” Ryu bowed.
“Trust me child,” Ru said, “I’ve made a so many, and I’ve had so many thanks. But yours seems to add something more to the pile.” After that, Ru bowed back to Ryu, and walked away from the group.
“Don’t mind his wordplay,” said the boy with the glasses, “We all get it from time to time, the names Minzhe and this is my little sister, Jian.” A younger girl with long white hair, and empty pale eyes appeared from behind him. Jian nodded to Ryu, and Ryu nodded back. “Ru’s our older brother, he’s a genius with medicines, and he found the antidote to keep us all from dying you know. He’s practically our savior!” Ryu spaced out. He suddenly remembered, the antidote, that’s what he went to find.
He knew so little about himself.
“He’s not practically our savior, he is our savior!”A boy with his arms crossed, and short brown hair spoke loudly. “I’m Siyu, it’s a pleasure man,” he said to Ryu. He held out his hand, and Ryu grabbed it. They shook firmly before letting go.
“You don’t talk much,” Ling observed, motioning her hand towards Ryu.
Ryu moved his head looking away from her and said, “Well I’m kind of err- confused.”
“Come on,” Ling said grabbing Ryu’s hand, pulling down on the mattress, forcing him to sit.
Siyu scratched his head, “Its closure time man,” he said patting Ryu on the back, “Good luck, I’m off to smash some of Minsheng’s gonies, they picked a fight with Tao you know,” Siyu said to Ling, who laughed.
“Well it must hurt to be them after that fight,” she laughed. After Siyu left, Jian realized it was only them three, and she silently walked away, seeming to float like a ghost. Ling tucked her legs in, wrapping her hands over them, “She’s not exactly the talkative type.”
Ryu laughed and nodded, “I can see that.”
Ling laughed, “So tell me about you Ryu!”
Ryu looked at her, and then went blank. What was there to tell? He couldn’t think of anything. The only things he could remember was the he went to the Fire Nation to get some sort of antidote, and that he was thrown in jail and beat up by some thugs.
“That’s where I’m confused I think,” Ryu admitted quietly.
Ling looked at him, “Hmm,” she hummed, “Well you’re in the Fire Nation’s largest prison, it’s five rooms for sleeping and any other time accept feeding, which is the center room.”
Ryu nodded, “So um… Do you know why exactly I’m in jail?”
Ling looked at him confused; “Now I’m the one confused. You’re quite an icon around here; you’re a huge rebel, running away and all.”
Ryu thought for a second, running away, he remembered running, but from what? “By the look on your face, I can tell your not kidding”, she said sadly, placing her hand over Ryu’s.
“Ryu… you… you lost your memory.”
