The sound of a flute could be heard throughout the area along with the rustling of trees and the chirping of birds. The sky was rather clear, save for a cloud or two that hung in the distance. Accompanying the ever present sound of music, one could hear gentle footsteps moving along the gravel path. The one playing the flute was a young girl in billowing orange and auburn cloth that marked her as an Air Nomad. However, her hair was long and flowing unlike most Air Nomads. The strands of dark hair contrasted against her autumn colors like ink on paper. The sound of her flute slowly died as she lowered the instrument from her lips, gazing up at the sky.
The distant clouds were moving closer. The darkness of their colors hinted at an approaching storm coming from the south. The girl clicked her tongue in annoyance. That wasn’t good. She’d have to find shelter and wait out the rain. Sliding her flute into her sash, the girl looked around. Having to stop for a while wasn’t that big of a deal in theory. She had left the previous village a day earlier than anticipated, so time certainly wasn’t an issue with this stop. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she spoke softly to herself. ”Well, Nuo, I guess we won’t be able to get an early start.”
Nuo stretched her arms up as she continued down the path. The original intention for leaving the village early was to get to the next one with enough time to relax for a day before preforming once more. Her plan seemed to have been foiled by Mother Nature. Sighing, the girl continued onward to find shelter for the night. If Nuo was lucky, the storm wouldn't last too long and she'd be able to get to the next village by tomorrow. If that happened, she'd be able to arrive at the Southern Air Temple by the end of the week. Her reasons for going to the Air Temple were odd. Normally, she avoided that temple in particular. However, there was a nagging feeling in the back of her mind, like something was conspiring there. She had to go check it out.
After an hour or so of searching, Nuo found shelter in a cave just as the rain begun to pour down. The girl covered her head with her hands as she ran into the cave. Luckily, she managed to avoid getting too wet. Sighing, Nuo crossed her arms and turned to look out of the cave’s mouth as the rain began to pour down like a thick curtain. The girl turned, frowning tightly. However, her frown melted to a surprised “Oh!” as she noticed another figure in the cave. It was a man. She bowed her head politely, ”I hope you don’t mind sharing this cave with me… it’s raining outside..”
