(A/N: I went back to my original writing style for now just let me know if you liked the other writing styles or not!)

As the first rays of sunlight began to filter through the window and gently illuminate the dining table, Sky found herself surrounded by her beloved family. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and joy as they all gathered for breakfast, their voices blending in a harmonious symphony of laughter and camaraderie.

Alongside Sky were her close friends Korra, Mako, and Bolin, their presence adding an extra layer of liveliness to the already vibrant room.Positioned at the head of the table, Tenzin, Sky's father, exuded an aura of wisdom and authority as he presided over the gathering.

Meanwhile, her siblings Ikki, Meelo, and Jinora animatedly shared tales of their recent escapades, their voices rising and falling in a delightful rhythm that captivated attention. Pema was devotedly caring for baby Rowan, as her mother looked on with affection. The air was filled with joy and laughter, but amidst this happiness, Sky harbored a deep and burdensome secret. As she cast a glance in the direction of Jason and Mason, she couldn't help but notice their conspicuous absence amidst the gathering.

The weight of her concealed identity as a spirit guardian burdened her conscience, causing her to feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility. Deep within her, there was an intense longing to divulge the vast knowledge she had recently acquired and the colossal undertaking that awaited her. However, the fear of the unfamiliar and the potential consequences that could arise from revealing her true self hindered her from taking that leap of faith.

As she watched her family happily go about their lives, oblivious to the struggles she was dealing with and the immense sacrifices she was prepared to make to safeguard their world, a deep sense of sorrow washed over her. The burden of her memory loss only added to the intricacy of her situation, making it all the more challenging to open up and share her fears and concerns with them.

With a deep inhalation, Sky prepared herself for the upcoming day, mentally preparing for what lay ahead. She treasured these precious moments spent with her loved ones, fully aware that shortly, she would embark on a voyage that would separate her from their warm embrace.

However, in the present, she relished in their company, finding solace and delight in the soothing sense of familiarity that enveloped her. As breakfast carried on, Sky found her thoughts drifting, pondering the direction she had taken in life. With every passing moment, the burden of her secret seemed to become more oppressive, and the longing to confide in her loved ones pulled at her heartstrings. However, at present, she remained steadfast in her decision, resolved to ensure she was fully prepared before unveiling her genuine intentions to those she cherished deeply.

As the future unfolded, Sky would embark on a journey of seeking wisdom and guidance from Mak and the esteemed spirit council. Through this process, she would dedicate herself to refining her unique abilities and delving deep into the complexities of her vital role as a mediator between the mortal and spirit realms.

It was only after she had acquired a deep sense of preparedness and confidence that she would finally summon the strength to confide in her family, relying on their unwavering love and unwavering support. In the present moment, she took the time to fully appreciate the delightful pleasures of gathering together with her family for breakfast.

Deep down, she was aware that the trials that lay ahead would push her to her limits in ways she couldn't even begin to comprehend. Yet, as she engaged in heartwarming exchanges of smiles and laughter with her cherished ones, an ember of excitement began to burn inside her, intensifying her resolve to safeguard the fragile equilibrium of their existence.
