Day 1: Serendipity

His ship landed soon enough at the port of the re established Southern Water Tribe, and he took the familiar route towards the place where he knew he would find her. When he stepped into the temple, there wasn’t even a hint of surprise on her face as she turned and smiled at him. While the first few times, she had given him an incredulous look, as he continued to return every year, she had grown to expect, even lean on his presence.

He thought back to the first time she had ever shared this part of her life with him. It had been during the period that she had gone with him to search for his mother. He distinctly remembered her words. “Today marks the eighth anniversary of my mother’s death” she had whispered, as her fingers grazed her necklace, her eyes lowered, lost in a bittersweet memory. He had remained silent, disinclined to say anything, lest he bring up an unwanted memory. It seemed inappropriate and selfish that he had brought her along to save his mother during the time that she was mourning hers. He hadn’t even known until that moment. Her sorrow had stirred an unpleasant feeling within him.

Ever since then, he had always shown up at her doorstep, regardless of their distance, on that exact day, every year. It was a suffering that the two of them shared on a deep level, and spending even a few hours together, just strolling through the ice blue city in each other’s presence would calm them down. He had always considered it an amazing accident that their lives had been brought together in such a way. The support that she had become for him was something he would cherish for the rest of his life.
