Flames Of Hatred
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is my first fanfic about "Avatar: The Last Airbender". It's about my interpretations of key events in the show, such as how the 100-year war started, how Ang got in the iceberg, & how Saka & Katara's mom died.
All characters (C) Nickelodeon, except for Prince Tano, Uncle Mosho, & Katara & Saka's mom. You can use those characters if you want (just send me an E-mail asking so I know).
OK, enjoy the story! (And read & review, too!)
Chapter 1: The War Of The Century
This is the Fire Nation. A hot, lava-filled place full of flames...& hatred.
In this steamy land of fire, the people who occupy the area are aggressive & impatient. Sometimes they are cruel, evil, & vicious.
And in this turbulent terrain of chaos, we begin our journey through the tale of the Centennial War, & those who were affected by it...
"Again!"
A grunt of tremendous effort echoed through the volcanic valleys of the Fire Nation.
Clouds of red, orange, & golden flames dissolved as they hit the metal shield of a man.
The man was about 64 years old. He was white, & he had brown eyes. His graying sideburns adorned his wrinkled face. His stocky build made up for his slightly small size.
"Not bad, Prince Tano. But you need to work on your fire-breaking skills next time."
Prince Tano looked up at his elderly mentor, & smiled.
Prince Tano was 18 years old. He was also white, & he had raven-black hair that jutted from the back of his head in a ponytail. His bark-brown eyes squinted in a smug smile.
Tano was bare-chested & barefooted; he wore red trousers, though.
As the old man took off his chest-armor, & placed it safely in a knapsack, Prince Tano beamed arrogantly, & said, "Don't worry, Uncle Mosho. I think I can learn it easily enough."
Uncle Mosho & Prince Taro then began to walk into the army-training room.
In the small room, red paint covered the walls. A flame glowed on the centerpiece of the large round table that various Fire Soldiers sat at.
Prince Tano sat in a large red chair, as Uncle Mosho stood by his side, supporting his nephew.
Prince Tano said to his soldiers, "Men, this is the day that we, the FIre Nation, prove to the rest of the world that we can be a great tribe!"
The Fire Soldiers all cheered, as Prince Tano smiled evilly.
And thus began the War Of The Century that would change the world forever...
OK, that's Chapter 1. Chapter 2 is up next. Read, review, & keep flames to a minimum.
