stay back.

Shin-ah was in the Daeyang Village, looking at the craft shops that the village was famous for. He had not really ever seen many of the things his own tribe had done because he stayed inside his temple cave most of his life. But, he decided that he should pay a visit.

Everyone was shocked to see him. He had heard whispers and children running. Shin-ah's bells jingled as he walked, hanging beside his right ear. He paused, seeing someone a small distance away that looked like they did not belong to the Daeyang Village or the Water Tribe in general.

Shin-ah walked toward the person, who happened to be a bit farther away than he expected. He paused, his hand hovering above the hilt of his sword incase of sudden hostility.

MAPS CAN BE POEMS WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN

I smiled as I skipped into the village, eyes catching on anything and everything that the shopkeepers had in view.  I wasn't going to steal anything, at least not today.  I twiddled my fingers around a pin that I'd tugged from my hair, leaving some of it dangling around my cheeks. Everything from armory shops to jewelery shops stretched out around me.  I walked towards a stand with necklaces dangling from bars and branches.  I pulled out 9000 won and handed it to an elderly woman with gray peppered black hair strands falling over her shoulders.  A sweet smile was given before I snatched a necklace that was a mixture of blue, glassy beads and seashells.  Turning, I got ready to move on when a figure started closing in on me. I cocked my head with surprise.  Maybe these people didn't take kindly to travelers?  Necklace still in hand, I waved excitedly at the man.  I walked towards him, closing distance.  "Hello!  Did you need something?  I don't think I know you though."

stay back.

The tall man watched the stranger pick up a necklace, trading in money for it. His hand left the hilt, dropping by his side. Ao made squeaking noises on his shoulder, and he lifted a finger, brushing it against the animal's ginger fur. He dropped his hand, walking over to the person. 

"I don't need anything." he whispered, blinking behind his mask. Shin-ah was curious why this person was here in the Water Tribe in the first place. The blue-haired dragon paused. 

"I'm not surprised you don't know who I am."
