Hey everyone, this is my first Avatar fanfic, so please be nice, and please review.
In Ba Sing Se there is a woman. She is no ordinary woman. Of all the commoners, she is probably the only one who knows of and respects the war. She also is one of the most gifted people who were ever alive. She was not a bender, nor was she a warrior. She was gifted at seeing destinies. And being an older woman, she had lots of experience. She had a special knack to know when to people should be together, and will always be together. She also knew exactly how to get them together. She had an array of magical and mysterious artifacts, potions and things you could not find anywhere else. And it was these things that she used to get people together. And when she saw a girl from the water tribe and a young air bending monk, she knew exactly what she needed to do.
Katara looked around the market in wonder. How could one small area sell so many odd things? All they needed were some supplies, and they really needed to get going. They had found Appa two days ago and were preparing to leave the city. Toph was overjoyed.
Aang, his assignment given by Katara, was looking for a new sleeping bag for himself. As he walked off, he wondered if he would ever get the chance to tell Katara his feelings for her. He had planned to do so when they got to Ba Sing Se, but that kept getting put off. Now he thought of doing it before they left, when they still would get some privacy. He sighed. It would not be easy.
Katara was looking around when she spotted a fruit stand, selling absolutely normal fruit. This made her happy. She dragged Aang over to the stand to help her select the fruit. She picked out several bags worth of fruit and handed it to the woman so she could total the cost. The woman, while Katara's back was turned, slipped a special potion on a piece of fruit and then handed it to the young girl.
Surprised, Katara took the fruit. "Thanks" she said to the old woman.
"Your quite welcome, my dear. Be sure to eat it before it spoils." Smiling to herself, the woman turned.
Ignoring the strangeness of it, Katara bit into the fruit. It tasted unusually sweet. After a few more hours of shopping, they returned to the spot where they had agreed to meet Sokka and Toph. Loading the supplies, they took off. Aang had attempted to tell her, but in Toph's impatience to leave, he didn't get the chance.
They didn't know exactly where they were going, but they had to get the information on the eclipse to someone who would do something about it. They had thought about Bumi, but new he was still imprisoned by the Fire Nation. They had also thought about the Northern Water Tribe, but they weren't sure what all they could do.
As they were flying, Katara and Aang were deep in conversation about some Water bending trick or something. Sokka new this, and not having anything else to do, asked Toph about her Earth bending. Suddenly Katara stood up and started swaying violently. Aang and Sokka looked at her and Toph asked "What's wrong?" Suddenly Katara fainted and Aang just barely caught her. What in the world was wrong with her?
I know its short, but I wasn't sure if it was a good story. Review and I will continue it. Thanks:o)
