Chapter 1: A New Day
Katara Pov
The snow fell with such grace down upon her city. Grandfather Pakku had said that we will celebrate the arrival of winter tomorrow evening. I had to admitt I loved walking through our nation and watching as my people bustled about. I loved watching small children follow their mother's about like baby turtle-ducks, and I loved watching the sailors haul fish on the docks. It made me feel more like one of them. Most of the time though I felt like an outsider, I was part of the royal family and was treated very differently than any other teenage girl. Unlike them, I was not allowed to wander the streets alone, I was always accompanied by various guards, tutors, or nobles. It seemed I never had a moment alone to just be myself.
Walking up the walkway towards the grand palace, I ran into my father and brother sparring with their boomerangs. As a female member of this tribe I was not permitted to fight, even though I was a water bender my talents were only used for healing.
"Father" bowing my head to him and than to Sokka, "Brother" We only used formalities when outside the palace.
Sokka being the irritating brother that he was stuck his tongue out at me. Which I returned quickly when the guards were not looking.
"KATARA!" Gran gran called walking up behind me, "What did I tell you about acting so rudely towards your brother?"
"I am very sorry, Gran gran it will not happen again" I said bowing my head to her.
She nodded and turned to leave. Since mother's death she took it upon herself to bring Sokka and I up 'properly' as she called it. Once I asked father how he felt about that and he said, it made Gran happy in her old age than he would allow it. "Gran" I called after her
"Yes Tara?" She said using her nickname for me.
"May I go to the stables and visit my Caribou-horse?" I asked politely
She looked me up and down, than broke into a soft smile, "Alright go have fun, but remember to be back by dinner" She turned to leave but I stopped her again.
"Gran" She looked at me with a questioning look, than I looked at my guards as if to ask her to dismiss them.
"Oh yes, Guards your assistance is no longer needed take the day off." She said waving her hand.
"Thank you Gran" I said with a smile before walking down to the stables.
