This my first Avatar story! The idea came to me after finishing Legend of Korra series. From then, I re-watched both series all over again for inspiration. Doing that gave birth to this! I hope you like it and Enjoy!
Peace. That was one thing you could call it. That wave of tranquility had spread across the nations for about 100 years. Everything was well and Avatar Korra, the Avatar born of water tribe heritage, protected the land ever since she was just a teenager. She, alongside her family and friends helped to protect Republic city from the any remaining equalists as well as restored bending to those who were victim of Amon. Her reign of peace lasted 130 years before her untimely passing at the age of 147.
The white lotus had been notified and had immediately began the search for the new and reincarnated avatar. It would take a great amount of time because of claims in each nation that they would have to prove true or false. The Avatar cycle had ended with Water so that meant next in the cycle was Earth.
Earth Kingdom: Ba Sing Se
A few members of the White lotus had gone to Ba Sing Se, the Earth Kingdom capital. They had shown themselves to the Earth King to announce the previous Avatar's passing.
"I'm very sorry to hear that." he said, "And you've come to relay news about the new avatar?"
The leader of the lotus, better known as the Grand lotus took a step forward, nodding her head in response. "Yes." she said, "The Avatar cycle has proven that the next avatar is to be reincarnated within the Earth Kingdom."
The king's eyes flicked with both fear and pride. It was something that everyone knew and understood. He was afraid for his people if someone who was after the avatar's life were to hurt his citizens. But he was also proud that the reincarnated avatar would be of Earth Kingdom heritage.
"I've made special arrangements for all infants from of all Rings of Ba Sing Se as well as any surrounding villages and cities to be brought here.." he explained, "We've prepared an assessment rooms for testing."
Kara nodded her head in approval. "I'm impressed to see that you're already preparing for this." she said, "It would actually make this a lot easier."
The other members agreed with her. "We have other claims to see to." said one of the men, "But we will return a week from today for the Evaluation."
One week later...
All newborns of the Earth Kingdom had been brought to Ba Sing Se for registration and Evaluation. The parents of those children waited in anticipation and worry outside in the outer chamber. What could the Earth king have in mind?
The Earth King and lotus officials as well as the Earth Kingdom elders were present in the room. They had decided to test each child individually since it would be quite difficult to monitor each child at once. Even now, everyone was on pins and needles. Their new avatar could be revealed sooner then they thought.
Each infant had a task that was related to each of the elements, the four nations, the four ways of bending. Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. First, there was the small waterfall that represented water bending. Second, there were a small amount of rocks which signified Earth bending. Next, there was a a small glass-like orb that held flames, representing firbending. Last, there was the current of air that represented Air bending.
If one child could utilize two or more of these tasks, then they would be considered an avatar candidate. If not, they would immediately be released back to their parents. Earth King Hei couldn't help but be nervous. He'd watched many of those children fail each test and to be honest he was becoming a bit antsy. They had watched as many of the children failed each of the tests. As everything was being prepared again, Hei couldn't help but voice his opinion.
"What if the cycle was broken?"he questioned, "What if the avatar was not reincarnated into the Earth Kingdom?"
The lotus officials looked up at him. The Earth king had been a bundle of nerves just like Everyone else had and no one could blame him. Each breathed a sigh of relief as the next infant was brought in. This one seemed somewhat promising.
The child was from the capital. Kara watched with interest. The small girl looked at each element-related task with curious eyes and subsequently reached out to each one and observed them carefully before touching. She picked up the fire orb and looked intensely into the flames. The flames seemed to entrance her, even somehow anger her as she closed her eyes. Once opened, her eyes emitted a bright white light.
"...The Avatar State." said Kara. "We've found the Avatar."
And that is my Prologue! I hope you enjoyed. The next chapter will be coming soon!
