The Dance Of the Dragon

Ch: 1

I every one! Welcome to my story. This is my first story so pleeeeeease be nice. I wrote this story back in season one so yea…its not exactly up to date. Well enjoy the chapter! I'll see you at the end.

"How much money do we have left Katara?" asked Ang as they walked down the dirty streets of a merchant town.

"Four copper pieces and one silver piece." Katara said taking the coins out of her pocket, "it's not very much."

"It will be if we haggle carefully." Sokka said while carrying a few parcels, " I wonder where we'll find a fruit stand?"

As they continued to walk around the path, pointing out shops and haggling for fruit they came to a stage shop where a man was yelling "Come one! Come all! See the lovely water witch as she bends with grace and casts a spell on your heart!"

"Wow! That sounds so cool!" Ang said excitedly, "Can we stay and watch?"

"I don't see any harm in it. " Katara said as a crowd began to form before the stage. They got right up in the front of the crowd so that they could see the show. Not knowing that danger was very close by.

Meanwhile Iroh and Zuko were contently walking among the shops. (Well Iroh was anyway). "Uncle! We should be searching for the avatar. This is a waste of time!" he said sounding agitated.

"Come now Zuko. You need to learn to have a little fun. Oh look!" he said pointing toward a stage shop, "Lets go see a show!" He grabbed Zuko by the arm and dragged him to the back of the group.

"I now bring you…the water witch!" the man announced pulling back the curtain and hoping over to the side of the stage. He then took out a flute and began to play and the girl…began to dance.

She was an amazing dancer. Every move she made seemed to be a wordless song she was singing. She then began to bend a bucket of water, having the liquid take form into human shapes. She danced beside them as if they were truly flesh and blood. Sokka was watching with transfixed eyes. She was so beautiful and talented that he wondered if she were real.

Zuko was just the same; he could not believe what he was seeing. Her technique seemed flawless. Suddenly she formed a large dragon and had it shoot snow for fire. Everyone began to clap to clap and throw coins at the girl. She had waist length brown hair, green eyes, and had slightly dark skin. As she began to bow Zuko threw two gold coins towards the stage and Sokka threw their last copper piece.

Once the curtains had closed the girl went to the back of the stage and changed into her white pants and red short sleeve. Then she went over to her boss. "Nice haul we made today" he said counting his money, "Here you go kid. You deserve every penny" he then handed her a small bag of coins. She thanked him and then walked down the street to her home.

"That was an amazing show!" Ang said excitedly.

"You bet it was!" Sokka agreed.

"I wish I could meet her." Ang said sounding wishful.

"Isn't that her walking down the street?" asked Katara pointing to a brunette.

They began to follow her, but at a distance so that if she was fire nation they get away. As they followed she stopped and went into a small house. They assumed that this was where she lived. "Should we go in?" asked Katara

"If we want to talk to her I guess we should" Ang said knocking on the door.

"Come in!" a voice responded to the knock.

They walked in to find a young girl sitting at a table with four cups of tea, "Took you three long enough to get here."

At this point the others where very confused "How did you know we were following you? Asked Katara.

"I could hear you guys following me down the street. Please, take a seat." She said gesturing to three other chairs," I hope you three don't mind tea made from scratch?"

"No!" said Sokka who had just taken a sip, "This is really great!"

Ang looked around the house and saw a rucksack leaning against the wall, "Were you going some ware?" he asked.

"We move around a lot so I never really get time to unpack. I don't mind too much though.

Just then the bag tipped over and some of her belongings spilled out, "Oh dear!"

"I'll help" Katara offered starting to help pick up. Just then Katara picked up a long silver sword with a red ruby planted in the hilt, "Wait a moment…this sword…"

The girl looked up and for the first time saw Kataras "That necklace…Katara?" She said as the two girls stood up in unison.

"Reasha! Is it really you?" Katara gasped. Out of no ware the two girls pulled each other into a sisterly hug. Leaving the two boys dumbfounded.

Well? What did you think? Chapter two will be up soon. (I just need to finish writing it). Please R&R. I'll see you in chapter two!
