Avatar: The Child of Stone
I don't own Legend of Korra, or Avatar the Last Airbender. They are owned by Nickelodeon
Sai, "Fire! Air! Water! Earth! These are the elements of our world. For thousands of years the elements have had nations in different incarnations that battle one another. The only one to bring temporary peace to our land is the Avatar, master of all four elements. The power of the Avatar is great, but unfortunately so is its cost.
The Avatar is a series of people that are incarnations of their very first live. They are responsible for keeping balance between all four elements. Kora of the Southern Water tribe was the last of the avatars to take on these responsibilities. Kora was killed at age 42 by four terrible benders of each element Yang the Destroyer, Suki the Preserver, Moa the Creator, and Pali the Great Flyer.
They have lived fourteen years without an avatar only to face a little girl who is barley a challenge to them. The Avatar must pull herself together supporter, the spirits, and anything else that need to be taken care of in order to stop the Grand Deity four. It will be a hard task since there is a taint in her sole keeping her from channeling all four elements. I believe the Avatar can free our land; because over fourteen years it is proven no one else can."
Book 1 Torment
"The Southern water tribe has since grown large and strong under the guidance of the Preserver. Can you imagine the purple glaciers over top of the ocean blue covered in a blanket of Snow as white as the wool of a white sheep? Great towns still use igloos and ice mounds as their homes. They are a prosperous people said to bring great healing to any traveler," Sai said to her rough looking friend blanketed to the maximum in wool, fur, and other materials used as blankets and coats.
The friend waved her comment off as she glanced away from Sai. "I know we are going to the southern water tribe to heal but a great enemy may await us there," she replied only a few moments later with her voice a bit broken. Perhaps the weather broke her voice or perhaps she carries emotional baggage. Either way she is as quiet and brooding as ever.
"There is no way the Preserver will be here. She may own the Southern tribe but she lives in her palace up north," Sai replied sure of herself. She was almost cocky.
The two travelers were on a great boat known as the Saint Glacier. People that could afford it dinned happily on wonderful sea cuisine while those who weren't as wealthy stayed closer to the brig. Thanks to Sai both girls were able to afford the luxury, but it didn't matter to Sai's friend. Nothing was warm enough for her. She was tempted to bed fire or warm herself with her chi.
"I know that look in your eye," Sai said abruptly. "You're not allowed to fire bend while looking like a maiden of the Earth tribe."
"I know," the friend mumbled. "Careful with your voice or your choice of words, you don't want people to know I'm the avatar do you?"
"I'm sorry," Sai said with disdain in her voice. "I could just kick myself again for nearly blowing our operation."
"If you kicked yourself in the rump for each time you've done that then it would be redder than a blushing air bison," the Avatar replied.
"Was that supposed to be a joke," Sai asked in amazement.
"Yes, moron it was supposed to be a joke," the avatar replied through shivers and a timid voice. Her choice of words was still as blunt as the word choice of just about any Earth bender.
Sai sighed away the harshness of her friend's words. "Fine whatever you say," she replied with a pouting face.
It was the Avatar's turn to sigh. Besides freezing her ass off to get physical and spiritual healing at the southern water tribe nothing exciting was really happening. There was no adventurous turn of events that she craved. "When will we get there," the Avatar asked a little louder to reveal the annoyance on her mind.
"We'll get there when we get there," Sai replied with a giggle. "Why don't you try meditating or something to pass time?"
"Do I look like some person who just meditates to you," the Avatar asked close to an uproar.
Sai blinked at the ridiculousness of that question. "You are the," Sai was about to say before her face was blocked by the Avatars winter boot.
"Don't you dare say it," the Avatar threatened whilst giving a glare that a dragon couldn't make more menacing.
"S-Sorry," Sai managed to stumble out.
"If you're that cold you two could warm up in the hot springs," a woman draped in fine fur suggested with a snooty and annoyed tone.
"What the heck is that supposed to mean," the Avatar nearly shouted at the woman. She was timid before but now she was on the verge of pure berserk.
"I mean you're trembling like a snared Badgermole," the woman replied not changing her expression the slightest.
"That sounds like a great idea," Sai interrupted their glares.
"No," the Avatar managed to muffle out through her scarf as her head sunk low in it.
"Sorry," Sai apologized.
"You don't have to apologize to your friend," the woman stated. "Clearly you're the one of great esteem between the two of you. That's why you've been paying for your friend's trip and multiple layers of clothing."
"Mind your own business," the Avatar shouted.
"Young lady what is your name," the woman asked her.
"My name or lineage isn't your concern," the Avatar replied.
"I am of the Beifong family so anything about an earth kingdom child is my business," the woman stated in anger.
"I don't care about your lineage," she replied. "So mind your damn business."
"You need to mind your manners young lady," Beifong replied.
"I don't have to do anything," the Avatar shouted drawing the attention of audiences everywhere.
"Stop it," the Captain ordered in his silver suit vested in gold. "If this is a rues I will kick you both off the ship."
Both Beifong and the Avatar stared at him. They both turned away from each other and walked off with a puff of anger.
"Sheesh, no need to be paranoid," the Avatar mumbled.
"What the hell was that," Sai asked.
"That woman got on my nerves," the Avatar replied.
"She is Beifong," Sai replied. "That makes her related to a powerful family even to this day."
"I don't care who she is. Next time she approaches me like that she'll get a face full of dirt," the Avatar replied.
"Ha, if she's an earth bender then you wouldn't even be able to touch her with your bending," Sai replied mockingly.
"Stop stirring trouble," the Captain shouted.
The Avatar spent the remainder of the journey dinning on Sai's wallet and watching the glaciers reflect off the beautiful skies when they weren't cloudy. Otherwise she lied around on her loft. Finally they had reached their destined location docked by the great city of the Southern Water Tribe.
The Passengers stretched and yawned as they walked off the Saint Glacier. Many of them were quickly moving to their respective hotels while some of the people that belonged or had visited before greeted civilians with smiles on their faces.
Sai looked up in amazement at celestial lights that bounced off the glaciers. The Avatar's focus was on something else. Flags and statues in the name of the Preserver decorated the city and the civilians clothing. They were covered in colors of blue, white, and gold. Her face clenched under scarf and her eyebrows narrowed.
"Where is my tea," the Beifong woman shouted at a boy age nine. By comparison she was indeed a towering figure while he was a frail, weak, little boy.
"Oh so your hassling children now," the Avatar shouted at her. She clenched her chest for she felt all too familiar warmth that can only be channeled through her rage.
"Are you addressing me," the Beifong woman asked.
"Yeah I'm talking to you," the Avatar shouted.
"State your name," Beifong demanded.
"I will do as I please," The Avatar replied barely holding down her rage.
"Then I will do as I please," the Beifong woman spat back.
"You're an unbearable excuse for a human being. I wouldn't see a demon demean itself more than you have. You just pick on people smaller than you don't you," the Avatar retorted.
"I'm aloud to say what I want to whom I want. I have status," Beifong woman replied.
"Your status is demeaning," the Avatar spat.
"You who have no status can't speak like that," the Beifong woman replied.
The avatar couldn't hold her heat in any longer. Fire spat out her mouth in pure rage. The dragon released her breath directly at the Biefong.
"What," the Biefong woman shouted as the boy knocked her to the ground. Both of them were torched and water benders started putting out the flames that enveloped their bodies.
Sai grabbed the front of the avatar's coat, gave a cold stare, and the two began to run. It didn't take long for the guard to start running after them.
Each of the water benders started pouring snow over top both of them. It wasn't long until Sai and the Avatar where buried under snow.
The Avatar stared at the unconscious body of her friend Sai. She was consumed with pain, rage, and above all remorse. Blue lights flashed out of her eyes as the snow started bending off of her. The Avatar flew out of the snow while a current of warm chi was folded into Sai who floated at her feet.
"Focus your, attacks on the Avatar," one of the guards managed to spit out for they were all in shock.
They all started bending water, ice, and snow as much as they could to strike the Avatar. The Avatar clothing began to disrobe as it fell into the snow and the benders water quickly changed from geysers and blasts of ice and snow into a barrier shielding the two girls. As her coat fell it revealed to them why the Avatar wasn't bending with her arms or revealing them for that matter. Upon her body stood two shoulders, but they did not carry arms below. Her dark hair spread across her face. Her mouth opened as a large fireball appeared within her jaws as she spit out a burst of flame that caused the guard to scramble and retreat. By the time they returned the Avatar was gone along with her friend.
